I suppose this will fit here as the person in question is not working here. Or at all.
Now, I had been asked by HR to interview some applicants for a certain position. I was given a list of people, their CVs and got a room scheduled.
I am told by reception that my interview is there. I go "pick him up"; I notice that he is sitting there with another person, also in business attire, but I don't take much notice ofthe other guy. He stood up and shook my hand when I arrived, so I just assumed he was someone else's interviewee.
Anyway. I do my interview, no problem. Nice guy (not the right person for the job though, too bad).
I walk out the man I had just interviewed, the other person is still there. As I walk by him, he stops me.
"Good afternoon Mr. [Ivanish], I am [Interviewee]'s brother, would you mind interviewing me as well?"
I remain puzzled, tell him that I don't have time (which is not a lie by the way, I had more interviews scheduled) but that I can take his CV and pass it on to HR. Which is what we do any time someone turns up at the door with a CV. Happens, right? Right.
But no, he doens't have a CV on him. He just wants an interview.
I say that I am really unable to accommodate him but he can e-mail recruitment sending his CV.
Well, what does he do?
Of course.
Storms out.
And calls me a racist (they both are of a different ethnicity than mine).
Thankfully his brother (or "brother?") stood behind and apologized. A lot.
UPDATE: I have just been told that the brother (the decent guy) has been hired. For a different role, for which he is more suitable.
