Shock conduct | Interviewer brands candidate a 'chav'

We have all been guilty of sending a text the wrong recipient, while work emails from time-to-time can also get sent out accidently before checking the recipient.

However, in a work setting, sending an offensive email to the incorrect person should be avoided at all costs, as it demonstrates a lack of professionalism, which can land employees in hot water.

One such interviewer was recently left red faced after emailing a potential new recruit with an insult.

According to the Daily Mail, Karl McCartney had applied for a job at Drive2Recruit and was told over a telephone interview that he would shortly receive a starter pack of forms to fill in over email.
