I can relate to the 'fib' on the cv which was a claim to have completed a low value educational course in catering which he used to fill a gap. This country is obsessed with degrees regardless of what they are in. 'Must be a graduate' is a laughable yet common requirement in job adverts. I agree about the bullying even though I don't remember Lee being as bad as the others.
Red Tomato Jun 2008 11:44pm, 11 Jun 2008 4,509 posts	Quote Pin Red Tomato He was horrible to sara one week, I remember him ganging up on her with the others after the task saying if you don't pull your weight when you're in my team you'll be out and he was really nasty with it. Still think Raif should have got the job.
SLOW RAMBLER Jun 2008 9:06am, 12 Jun 2008 174 posts	Quote Pin SLOW RAMBLER Ok.. Lee won... I think the right 2 were in the final 2.... what we see on TV is edited by the "pweors that be" so we never really see the entire story... Lee did make mistakes, but so did Claire, personally in my own business I wouldn't employ either of them... but for what Sugarbaby wants both would suit him... next thing... who would be better to control, to mould in to the empire in the great big sugar cube? Claire would be unlikely to mould in to a cube she'd be more intent on doing her own thing.... she need not worry... if she goes the Badger way she'll do very well, and I think that she and Badger have similar qualities... Lee however would be easier to "control" in the cube environs!! So... Sugarbaby had to look and see which personality suited his business best.. and only he knows that!!! For all those apprentice wanabees..... over here on the aul sod, one of the TV stations TV3 is having its own apprentice show.... so.... if you dare.... but it's not sugarbaby it's some other bloke.... www.tv3.ie

I watched the programme on the final 5 and their backgrounds, and Lee came across as the most genuine candidate of the lot. So I'm pleased he won and think he'll graft his arse off. Clare has already said she gets bored after 2 years in any job so I reckon Lee's more likely to last the distance.
Vicksta Jun 2008 9:41am, 12 Jun 2008 2,801 posts	Quote Pin Vicksta The thing that got me about Lee's CV lies is that NO ONE ASKED HIM WHAT HE WAS ACTUALLY DOING during his missing year. What was it that he was actually covering up? It would be the first question on my lips, but they didn't ask it. WTF??!!
Stumpy Jun 2008 9:45am, 12 Jun 2008 7,163 posts	Quote Pin Stumpy exactly, vicksta. if he had said, 'i chose the wrong course, realised it and while I worked out what I wanted I worked in a bar/hotel/restaurant/supermarket' then it would be one thing but a great big gap..... oh well. i am sure Claire will do very well. probably better than lee. (and the point about fitting into a culure and business is a good one)
