the cafeteria right after lunch right now, I noticed the front page of today’s USA In the present day: 10 Lessons of 'The Apprentice'. I always find humor in how the American public learns many of their life lessons and professional skills through television (law from Ally McBeal, forensics from CSI,
microsoft office Standard x64, psychiatry from Frasier … And wouldn’t it be fun to do a show about recruiters? Man,

As a viewer, this infuriated me. As an employee in a large corporation, this infuriated me. But most of all as a professional interviewer,

People – learn how to answer the question asked of you! can’t tell you how much it bugs me when people either 1) have their own agenda when answering a question and 2) try to qualify a simple answer with useless data. I see it around Microsoft all the time. That’s just the way people operate. But wouldn’t it be a wonderful world if you were able to ask a question and get a clear,

Don’t tell me about a project I didn’t ask about. That’s not what I want to know. Don’t overload your answer with so much unnecessary information that I lose sight of what I asked in the beginning. I’ve asked a simple yes or no question before and waited 5 minutes before I get the answer. Actually, that happens a lot. boardroom situations on The Apprentice always raised my blood pressure. I found myself yelling at the screen, “Fire her! Fire her!” every time Heidi said, “No, I like Omarosa. She’s nice.” No, you don’t, and no, she isn’t. Just answer the stupid question! I always wondered … if The Donald has the ability to fire whomever he chooses, why can’t he just randomly say, “You’re fired” to one of those people who can’t answer a direct question? Well, they’re all gone now so I guess it all works out in the end. From what I recall anyway, both Bill and Kwame have always held up well under pressure in the boardroom. guess we’ll have to wait a few more hours to see who the winner is. Living on the West Coast, we see everything in tape delay so I’ll have to do a “media black-out” until the show airs out here. Go Kwame!
