Job Interview Turns Hilarious When Applicant Gets Fed on Camera
SURPRISE FEEDING MOMENT – A job applicant became the subject of a viral social media post after being unexpectedly fed during an online job interview. The story was shared on Facebook by Reddit Philippines and was told by the interviewer herself, a user named “TheFunTita.” She explained that she requires all candidates to keep their cameras on during interviews.
During a serious part of the behavioral and technical interview, an arm suddenly appeared on the screen, holding a spoonful of rice and viand, attempting to feed the applicant. The applicant froze, mouth open, unsure whether to take the bite or continue answering questions. For a few seconds, there was a silent stare between the interviewer and the applicant. Then, the applicant gently shook his head, signaling the person off-camera to stop, though he appeared slightly disappointed—perhaps because the food looked appetizing.
The woman off-camera didn’t realize the situation at first and moved the spoon closer again. However, the applicant quickly grabbed her hand to move it away while glancing at the food. The applicant did not apologize, and the interviewer pretended not to mind, continuing the interview as normal. Toward the end, when asked for feedback, both the applicant and interviewer laughed about the awkward moment.
The post quickly received many humorous reactions online, with some praising the applicant for staying composed under unexpected pressure. Others highlighted the importance of informing family or housemates about interviews to avoid such interruptions.
Despite the awkwardness, both the interviewer and the applicant handled the situation with humor and grace, serving as a reminder to prepare your environment before any online meeting or interview. The story also highlights the everyday realities and challenges of remote work and the unexpected moments that can occur during virtual interactions.
