The Apprentice - WTF???

[TheFaQQer]

I read that former Apprentice 'star' and media whore Katie Hopkins is in full on "say controversial things to get on the telly" mode.

Who she?

Nobody knows who the CEO of BK or McD is either though. Sugar uses people he actually knows and works with, not 'celebrity' interviewers, which is more real.

Ginger babies. Like a baby. Just so much harder to love.
– Katie Hopkins

It's comedy gold in a WTF!! kind of way.

Have a looky over on twitter

Well, they have more business expertise and experience than someone like Paul Kemsley, who has been dropped from recent Apprentice series for some strange reason. Possibly connected to his UK and US bankruptcy.

Has any Apprentice, winner or not, ever been successful?
Last year's winner's business is this.
Does it only have 109 jobs on it?
And this is the great idea he pitched to that mediocrity Lord Sugar?
Another fooking rec cons in a crowded market?

You gotta laff at these morons.

106.

Either he's tulip hot and shifting these roles like a super-recruiter
or 3 have been pulled by the clients after your withering critique

But you want those interviewing to be those you know well - CEO of McD is not really needed to interview someone about a business plan

Aren't they simply counting net worth as cash in the bank + assets? If you keep £40k as your reserve fund after dividends and salaries of £1million...

Are these free services any good BTW... £1 for the real version from CH is so dirt cheap.

Fair enough, but cash at bank of £44K, assets of 70K (typically unpaid invoices in a consultancy) doesn't shout million pound turnover.
I'm willing to bet this is not a million pound turnover business, more like an unsuccessful contractor's.

The moral of the story is don't knock techie skills, they trump being on telly and knowing Lord Sugar any day.
