The Apprentice Fall 2010: premieres September 16th, 2010
The new The Apprentice premieres September 16th!
We are already getting a sneak peek at the upcoming season in this new The Apprentice promo video.
This time The Apprentice contestants are all people who have been laid off from their jobs.
NBC and Donald Trump want to put America back to work — and after a long wait, the boardroom will be open again for candidates who have lost their jobs as the network showcases an updated version of the popular original alternative series “The Apprentice,” with Trump returning to preside.
Trump will give the opportunity of a lifetime to 16 new candidates ranging in age, all of whom have been hit hard by the current economic downturn. These will include talented and bright prospects who have lost their jobs with no hope in sight as well as recent college graduates who currently have few if any prospects. Joining Trump will be boardroom advisers Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and George Ross. Also included among the advisers will be a more focused group of business guest executives in the revolving chair, both relevant to the tasks at hand and to the corporate employment environment.
The new season of “The Apprentice” – which just finished shooting this week in New York City – promises to be an engaging and fresh look at the changing face of corporate America. It will showcase what has turned out to be an incredible cast of candidates, all vying to become “The Apprentice” and all deserving of a fresh start to their careers.
Times have changed since “The Apprentice” first premiered in 2004. Instead of the high-flying rewards enjoyed by winning teams in previous seasons, Trump has re-directed the focus to more meaningful rewards aimed at improving the lives of the candidates. As a result, winning Project Managers will be rewarded with one-on-one meetings with some of America’s best-known business leaders and CEOs.
The winner will land a job within The Trump Organization with a six-figure salary.
I think the premise for this show is great, but damn, it will sure hurt when the contestants are told, “You’re Fired!” after being laid off already! Ouch. BUT, on the other hand, I doubt they will have a hard time finding a job after being on The Apprentice. It’s a hell of a thing to put on your resume.
