- TriviaThis series was pulled from the schedules after 4 episodes with no explanation, and despite Channel 5 saying they would resume this series at a later date, as of 2007 this has still not happened. In mid 2007 the series was repeated on spin-off channel "Five Life", but the full series still wasn't shown, in fact this time only the first 3 episodes were.
Featured review
Underrated career guideline show!
I watched the first four episodes of this show on Channel 5 on a Tuesday, before it got axed (well I assume so anyway as we never saw the next weeks episode -ah if only channel 5 would go digital then we probably would get to see the rest!) Basically it's a reality format show where each week 5 hopeful job seekers battle it out for their dream job. They experience a rigorous recruitment process, hoping to wow over 3 judges(a recruitment consultant lady who looks well scary, her favourite phrase being 'she's as dull as dishwater', a body language expect who looks a bit like Tim from the office, and the prospective employee for that particular job that week.) I found this show extremely useful when going for getting tips on interviews now I've just finished uni, and what to do and not do in the interview chair. It's such a shame it got axed because I really was getting some good ideas. It was also funny watching one particular hopeful (I think her name was Tammy) selling one of her key attributes for a career in estate agency along the lines of 'I'm honest, and that might sound strange but I think it's s rare skill to have in estate agency' (why because all estate agents are obviously corrupt??) funny funny when someone is soo up their own behind that they insult the employer! He was quite miffed. Over all I would give it 4.5/5 but for a non-job seeker or recruitment-interested-type-person perhaps a 2/5 as the entertainment factor isn't quite there!
