A newly recruited call centre employee was fired even before his first day started at work, after he claimed in his Facebook post that his interview felt like 'having phone sex'.

John Gibbs, who was hired by West Sussex county council contact centre in Bognor Regis, was asked not to come to the office after the council bosses spotted a series of posts about immigrants and sex on his social networking page, Metro.co.uk reported.

In his post, Gibbs said that the interviewer's voice was the sexiest and he was aroused by her.

After securing the job, Gibbs warned that the immigrants should lookout as it was time for a crackdown.

Another post by Gibbs read that if a person has "beer, fags and money," all he needs is a brothel.

Gibbs also said that he has lost all the respect he had for women and people in general and if he owned a gun, he would have gone on a 'Moat style rampage'.

A rep from the outsourcing company said that they take immediate action against anyone who fails to behave appropriately, including in their use of social media.
