For those who are not following TV show visit website http://www.tv3.ie/shows.php?request=theapprentice to find out what I want to talk about.
In brief info shot it is show where world most successful individuals are looking for their apprentice. This year it is Irish Business icon Bill Cullen*
8th of December show on TV3 should be very interesting.
Contenders have passed stage of small (sometimes ridicules) tasks like selling Ice Creams on St. Stephen and it is the Interviews times.
Remaining candidates are:
GERALDINE O’CALLAGHAN (Irish Spirit kind of girl )
STEVE RAYNER (The Bible Sale Man)
STEPHEN HIGGINS (Strong outside, weak inside?)
What I am most interested in is the ultimate interview of each candidate with Brightwater Recruitment Specialists. Especially Mairead Fleming which seems to be very professional, and I personally would be a bit stressed heading towards such interview with her. She seems to very lovely and calm women on the other side, which might get you confused and maybe too relaxed, but be aware. Such professional will not miss even smallest detail.
To give my opinion about those 3 individuals:
Geraldine – she is very energetic and enthusiastic, and she played well especially with guys in the show . But is feminise her all attributes above others? She can grow to quite ‘nice’ businesswomen I’d say.
Steve – he is a bit like those Bible sale people knocking on your doors. There are areas where he is weak, but such brilliant sales skills might allow him to shine from the crowd. Will that be enough? 1 task man, well those days you have to be multi everything. Can he adjust?
Stephen – this man is playing stronger outside then he is inside. You could spot this during the presentations he was doing. The ‘fake’ confidence I would call it. The calm behaviour and muscular posture could be a bit alarming. Bill seems to like it, as he like strong personalities in professional/mental aspects. But he didn’t prove his brilliance at all so far. We will see if he will break during the interviews…very self-controlling person.
That is all, I wish all the best to all of them. It does take a lot of guts get as far as they did. Determination and ‘hunger’ for success. They all are very driven people so I am sure they going to do just fine in their future.

*(Born and bred in the rough inner city slums of Summerhill in Dublin, Bill was one of fourteen children.
Selling on the streets from the age of six, be it fruit, flowers, newspapers, Christmas decorations, football colours, or programs, was a means of putting food on the table for Bill and his family. He finished school at thirteen to go on the street full-time.
In 1956 Bill got a job as a messenger boy for a pound a week at Waldens Ford Dealer in Dublin. Through hard work and unrelenting determination, Bill was appointed director general of the company in 1965 and went on to set up the Fairlane Motor Company, which became the biggest Ford dealership in Ireland.
In 1986 he took over the troubled Renault car distribution franchise from Waterford Crystal. His turnaround of that company into what is now the Glencullen Group is a business success story – the group now has an annual turnover of €350 million.
Bill Cullen is a director of the Irish Youth Foundation and in 1998 was a recipient of the Lord Mayor’s Award for his work with the disadvantaged young people of Dublin. In September 2004 Bill was awarded the inaugural Princess Grace Humanitarian Award.)
