    Go for it, we could all do with a laugh. If there's a greasy IT recruiter in the bunch, he'll win anyway. SurAlan loves a professional bull$hitter...
    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

      If they offer you a place then defo go for it.

      If something better comes along in the meantime you can just sack it off.

        Worked with a guy, contractor as well at the time, who made it to the last 30 in the preselection.
        Very stereotypical apprentice type of guy
        Asian background
        Problems with the police before in his youth
        "Forgot" to file his accounts
        Big mouth
        Personalised license plate on his way too expensive Audi
        Achieved nothing and somehow managed to get a permanent managerial role in the company where he contracted
        about 50% liked him and the other 50% absolutely despised him (I wa sin the latter group)

            pretend you own a tat shop & offer him a sled?

            Tell him he is a cretin and he needs your insight?

              Use "worldwide" a lot.

              You are not a marketing exec, you are the Worldwide marketing executive. You are not an operations manager, you are the Worldwide Operations Manager. You didn't advertise via a card in your local newsagent, you led a worldwide advertising campaign (well it was there for the entire world to see. You certainly didn't stop them).

              This shows that you're a big-hitter. Oh yes.

                You need a decent statement to start it all off

                    Unfortunately this year there will not be any Apprentice candidate from CUK!!

                    Interesting time in London, I can tell you there will be a Brother Sister team this year.

                    Though I am not sure how they both managed to apply same day same time same moment to get into same group for the day, same sub group in the afternoon, same sub sub group @ 2 PM and with in that sub group they end up standing next each other and had 30 seconds pitch one after the other though that sequence was decided randomly..!!

                    Mere coincidence ...
