The Apprentices Paul And Ansell Are History
Apprentice Ansell - Should He Have Gone?
Ansell was my first choice to win. Not just because he's a "nice guy" but because I think he's got some proven talent at selling and also seems quite organised.
Certainly he came over well in the post firing review show. Sir Alan recognised that too and was obviously struggling between Ansell and Ruth as to who he should "let go".
The fact that Ruth has been in the boardroom so often and was more of a known
quantity with Sir Alan may have swung it away from Ansell.
Although Sir Alan did say he would keep in contact with Ansell down the line to make sure he was OK.
Personally I think Ansell is going to get some good job offers.
My advice to Ansell?
Think through all the offers first. And don't let big bucks decide what you want to do. Choose what you know is right for you and your ambitions.
Apprentice Paul - Too Many Mistakes During His Interview
Paul was never going to win unless he had a great CV. Which let's face it he hadn't.
As he's a recruitment consultant, I'm gobsmacked. Doesn't he get people jobs based on their CVs?
Doesn't he coach them on getting through interviews?
And if he's so high flying why is he only on £25k?
Does the company that employs him think he wasn't going to set the world alight and would come back to them more loyal, because they kept his job open?
Mind you...
Paul's firm is going to get great publicity for keeping Paul's job open for him.
And it'll give its current and prospective staff a good feeling about their company's employee-caring image.
It won't hurt the company when it comes to get people into their clients either.
What baffled me was that Nick (one of Sir Alan's aides) continued to support Paul in his attempt to become The Apprentice.
My advice to Paul?
Paul you're only 25, being in business for 3 years doesn't mean very much, at all. Learn more about how the business you're in works and use that as a base to go onto bigger and better things.
