Man sings outside office in bid to land dream job

When you interview a candidate are you influenced by extra-curricular skills they might have? Would the ability to do something not related to the role improve their chance of being hired?

Being able to sing might have helped a man from Nottingham secure his dream job. Healthcare assistant Daryl Ward, 29, was unsuccessful in an application to the National Videogame Arcade and so took to the streets to perform a song for the museum’s organisers, Game City.

Entitled Game City Give Me a Job, Ward had written the song himself and when staff heard the chorus “give me a job Game City, I won’t let you down” they invited Ward in for a tour of the facilities and promised to give him a call when jobs next become available.
