The applicant was on his second interview for the position, after having successfully clearing the telephonic interview. However, the username of the applicant caught the attention of the employer. The applicant was dressed properly but his interviewer was more interested in the username.
The applicant had set his name to 'Big Daddy' but previously and he had forgotten to change it before the interview. During the interview he tried to change it but it didn't go unnoticed. This embarrasing tale was shared by tha applicant on Reddit. He wrote, "Then we start talking and he says yeah it took me a second to start because it said I needed to allow 'Big Daddy into the room with me.' and I turned more red than a tomato". The employer saw the funny side and laughed it off.
