The Apprentice ends
My girl Amy lost and Bill won. Oh well, at least the HBS guy lost.
Wasn't the winner supposed to land a job as president of one of Trump's companies? The NYT says Bill will oversee "a 90-story building project in Chicago." I don't know about you but that's definitely not my "dream job of a lifetime." And it doesn't sound like president of anything.
We won't be watching next season. Too many contestants were so obviously also-rans that it took too long to get down to the tough decisions. I hope next time they choose contestants based on ability to deliver rather than look good in a skirt or cause controversy.
The show did bring home a point for me though. You never really know how someone will behave on the job without obverving them in real-world situations. People with the best resumes, references and interview skills could turn out to be another Omarosa. The traditional interview-hiring process is broken and I wonder if there's an opportunity to provide a better model.

Did you see Trump on SNL? He is a natural parody of himself.
