Those of you outside of Ireland are probably familiar with a TV show called The Apprentice.\u00a0 In the USA it featured Donald Trump.\u00a0 In the UK it featured Alan Sugar.\u00a0 The idea is that the featured executive is seeking a new employee.\u00a0 12+ candidates are brought in, split into two teams each week and given a task.\u00a0 The losing team faces a boardroom where one of them is fired.\u00a0 Eventually 1 person is left and they get a job with the featured executive\u2019s company.<\/p>\n
In Ireland, the star is Bill Cullen<\/a>.\u00a0 He\u2019s a self made man who went from selling fruit\/veg in Dublin, buying\/selling the Renault business in Ireland (and making an absolute fortune in doing so), etc.\u00a0 It\u2019s fair to say he does OK.\u00a0 They\u2019re in the second series now.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s fair to say that Cullen is dealing with vegetables once again in his life based on what we\u2019ve seen in the show so far, with 1 possible exception.\u00a0 They\u2019re down to 5 candidates now.\u00a0 This series has been interesting because the tasks have been quite real.\u00a0 Each week an Irish based company is features and the teams are either trying to invent, market or sell something for those companies.\u00a0 Off the back of this you see major publicity, e.g. Samsung Jet or The Big Red Book.<\/p>\n Next week \u2026 well we got a mail this morning:\u00a0 <\/p>\n \u201cWatch the Apprentice show on TV3 next Monday, November 23rd at 10pm to see the two teams, C\u00fachulainn (pr. Ku-Kullen, a mythical Irish warrior) and Platinum, battle it out on a task set by Microsoft. <\/em> <\/p>\n The team efforts culminate in a gripping boardroom scene with the contestants trying to avoid being fired and remaining in with a chance of securing the job of a lifetime with Bill Cullen. <\/em> <\/p>\n All will be revealed next week after the show….. <\/em> <\/p>\n Regards, <\/em> <\/p>\n Microsoft Small Business Team\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n I had heard about this and I know a little<\/em> bit more but I\u2019m not saying anything.\u00a0 All I know is I can\u2019t wait to see how the candidates mess this one up.\u00a0 They\u2019ll be dealing with complex technology that I\u2019m sure will be quite alien to them.\u00a0 Those in Ireland will also be able to watch this on the TV3 website after the original broadcast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Those of you outside of Ireland are probably familiar with a TV show called The Apprentice.\u00a0 In the USA it featured Donald Trump.\u00a0 In the UK it featured Alan Sugar.\u00a0 The idea is that the featured executive is seeking a new employee.\u00a0 12+ candidates are brought in, split into two teams each week and given … Continue reading “MS Ireland Featuring In \u201cThe Apprentice\u201d”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9986","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9986","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9986"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9986\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9986"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
