A man from Congo named Guy Goma was mistakenly interviewed as a Tech Specialist on BBC live in 2006. He had come to the BBC for a job interview as a data cleanser but was mistakenly identified as Tech Journalist Guy Kewney.

He’s gotta be like, “Damn, this is a fancy interview…”

Demonstrates how controlled and question-led these expert spots really are.

Imagine calling in sick to work because you have an interview for another job and then your boss sees you on fkn BBC being interviewed as a tech journalist hahaha
Omg is this where they got the idea for the episode of I.T. Crowd where Moss gives a fake name, can’t remember the fake name he used so when they called for a similar sounding name he answered and ended up having to talk about politics instead of his new bra?

I know a girl that accidentally became a successful movie executive because she sat at the wrong desk and they just assumed she worked there. Maeby was her name.

What kills me is that the questions she asks, anyone with half a brain could have answered. It’s insane those were the questions they picked to ask an expert they brought in.
Honestly he should have interviewed after that for the job of whoever botched that entire thing.

“Hi, my name is Guy and I’m here for an interview.”
“Great, let’s get you over to makeup first.”
“Huh?”

I have messed up so many job interviews and none of them were live streamed to the friggin world. Salute to Guy for holding his fort. If BBC didn’t hire him after this he should just claim BBC as his own

Has the interviewer ever commented on this?
Something Mr. Bean would have done.
