The Apprentice Week 11 – A View From The Cheese Shop Picture the scene… (in Jarvis Cocker’s voice, if you will. He is in my head at the time of writing.) It’s early in the morning… Jade and her voice are drinking a cup of tea at a table… Ricky Martin is in his underpants… […]

Funniest Interview Questions Ever

By admin ⋅ May 21, 2012 ⋅ 5 comments

Whilst many employers do tend to adopt the traditional approach in job interviews and ask fairly standard questions which you can prepare for, (as we outlined in our Top 10 Interview Questions), many others choose instead to ask more quirky or off the wall questions for which there is no real way to prepare. We’ve […]

I spoke to someone recently; a business person, who, until this year, had never seen The Apprentice. When I asked what they thought, the answer was… “Well I’m a little disappointed. I thought that it featured good and interesting business people.” Kind of says a lot about this series. I’m not quite sure what it is; […]

I’ve been inspired this week by Duane to start off with a few well known proverbs. Here are a couple of my favourites : Let sleeping dogs sleep Two wrongs do not make it better I love Duane. Anyhow..this week, the candidates were interrupted from an ‘unstaged for the cameras’ game of ping-pong and hauled […]

I could begin this with ‘It was a “saucy” episode, this week’; but no doubt the Daily Mail already nabbed that one. (Did they? I tend not to read tripe. They probably did though, with a picture of Karren smiling at Nick, or something.) But I won’t start it like that. 3 weeks in and I […]

One of the first things people have to consider when starting a business is of course what the business is going to be called. Thinking up a name that is original, creative and catchy is not the easiest of tasks. And if there are a few of you in the business, coming up with a […]
