A catch-up: Guy Goma, the poor dude who went to the BBC for a job interview on May 8 and wound up on live TV talking about the Apple vs. Apple lawsuit, has apparently been passed over for a gig by the Beeb.
However, a Dublin web has designer started a petition to ask the BBC to hire Goma, according to a May 31 Toronto Star story. The website can be found at guygoma.com.
According to a May 30 Daily Telegraph story, Goma's mistaken appearances on TV have led to ... more TV appearances: "... including The Jonathan Ross Show and manning the phones for the Prince's Trust broadcast.
He is also auctioning the lucky blue shirt he wore during the interview for Oxfam, at www.15minutesauction.com.
According to a June 1 Associated Press story carried by The Age in Sydney, Australia, Goma is thinking about a media career:
Goma is hoping for something more that the tech position he had applied for in the first place.
"My career will be moving in a different direction," he said. "I would like to move on in the media environment."
Goma hopes to host a program on economics.
I dunno. When I saw the original interview, I didn't think to myself, "A star is born!" If Guy got other appearances, it's because of the notoriety generated by the first one. However, if that's what he really wants to do now, good luck to him.
