Messed up Interview

[Shorey]

I've had some messed up interviews, (read as..I've messed up some interviews..) but nothing this weird. No matter..this guy gets three years probation and social humiliation for a stunt that hasn't "really" hurt anyone and Jacko goes clear for bedding little boys... okay..what the jury says goes, but WTF?

"A man who tried to conduct a job interview naked has been sentenced to three years' probation and placed on the sex offenders' register.

Glasgow Sheriff Court was told that Saeed Akbar, a manager at an interpreting and translation company, "had wanted a bit of excitement".

Sheriff Brian Lockhart described the behaviour as "wholly unacceptable".

Akbar, 35, left the interview room and came back in to speak to his female victim naked and clutching a clipboard.

When the job candidate refused to strip as well, he put his clothes on and attempted to continue the interview as normal, the court was told.

Akbar, from Fife, said: "I wanted a bit of excitement that afternoon, that's purely all it was."

Passing sentence, Sheriff Lockhart said Akbar's partner had now left him, he had lost his job and his friends refused to associate with him.

Referring to the 25-year-old victim, he added: "I can really understand how the police report describes her as extremely distressed, intimidated and fearful for her personal safety."

He worked at Alpha Translating and Interpreting Services in Glasgow, which advertised for a translator.

The woman answered the advert and was invited to attend an interview at the firm's Glasgow office the following day.

When she arrived, Akbar - who was held in "high esteem" by his company - asked if she would mind if they took their clothes off.

The £25,000 per-year executive tried to restart the interview after putting his clothes back on, but his victim fled and reported the matter to police.

He initially told police his strip was a consensual "role play" as part of his "tough interviewing technique".

Aamer Anwar, defending, said: "He totally accepts his guilt. It was a serious abuse of his position as he foolishly believed the complainer was interested in him."

Maybe he just wanted to find out if she was a cunning linguist.

Was she supposed to toss his salad or something? That is a tough interviewing technique.

When interviewing for my current job I was taken to a strip club and drank for a couple hours, then the interviewer went to the bathroom with a colleague and came back suspiciously amped up, then we went to one of his proospects and got in a fight with the owner that almost came to blows. Not the standard interview, and I took the job, but better than nude interviewing.

So I take this job didn't require a piss test? And are they hiring?

What the hell kind of job was this for? And are you hiring?
