The Apprentice - The Dreaded Interviews
The Apprentice - The Dreaded Interviews
This year they had another interviewer, Karren Brady.
I had the pleasure of meeting Karren at a conference I attended recently. She was sharing her knowledge on management, leadership and having a great career.
Karren herself has had a fantastically successful career so far. She is now the MD of Birmingham FC.
Lee made a big mistake…
...and lied on his CV about his time at college. He said he was there for 2 years. In fact, it was for only 4 months.
These are facts and are easily traceable. Do not lie on your CV you can easily be found out.
Lee also said this week. That ‘nice guys don’t win”.
Now I don’t know Richard Branson but he seems like a really nice guy and he has won.
I think Lee needs to quickly remove this belief from his head. Otherwise, he could become very arrogant and dictatorial.
Lucinda came across well…
…in her interviews. She is a great Team Leader but a bad Team Player.
However, she questioned whether she should be there at all. Whether she wanted the job. That showed a weakness and the other candidates jumped onto it and exploited it.
Alex told Sir Alan (SAS). SAS was surprised.
Claire was excellent during the interviews
Confident, great examples and she is definitely the leader of the pack.
How many times did Alex mention his young age?
Far too many for me. Yes, he is 24, yes, he is inexperienced, and yes, he is the youngest. So what?
Get over it.
I really do not know why Alex is still there. He stands back when accountabilities are handed out. He looks miserable and his body language is negative.
Helena interviewed the best.
Her experience showed through. This was not a task so Helena could talk about what she had completed, her experience and strengths.
SAS surprised us all in his episode.
We expected him to fire three of the delegates. SS only fired one, the right one for me – Lucinda.
She showed a chink in her armour – did she really want the job. She questioned herself. SAS jumped on it and that was the downfall of Lucinda.
So now, we are down to four.
Next week is the last task. Lee and Claire vs. Helena and Alex.
So depending upon who wins the task will determine who can win The Apprentice.
I expect Lee and Claire to win as they are the strongest team but you just never know what will happen.
If Lee / Claire win then I think SAS will choose Claire.
If Alex / Helena win then I think SAS will pick Alex.
Who do you think will win?
See you after next weeks show.
