Meet interviewee who swore at commuter who turned out to be his recruiter
London: An angry man told a fellow passenger to "f*** off" while going to a job interview, only to find that the very man was the head of recruitment.
It all started when Matt Buckland, the head of talent at venture capital firm Forward Partners, like many Londoners was taking a busy, delayed tube train to work, the Independent reported.
When the train halted at Monument station in the City of London, Buckland stood to one side to let a passenger off the train, but the man thought he was standing in his way, and even though he said he was getting off as well, the man pushed past him and told him to "f*** himself".
After a while, the same angry man came for an interview at Buckland's firm, and Buckland wrote that the man didn't recognize him at first, when he asked him some tube-related questions, he suddenly realized, followed by an awkward laughter and got on with the interview.
But even though Buckland didn't hold it against the guy, saying the "tube makes everyone cranky," and it could happen to anyone, the man did not get the job because he wasn't right for the part.
Buckland's posted the incident on twitter which has been re-tweeted nearly 15,000 times.
Karma - the guy who pushed past me on the tube and then suggested I go F myself just arrived for his interview...with me...
