Liz's twitter bio says: Open to offers & excited to explore various business opportunities!

So in reality she got fired over year ago and yet she's on twitter desperate for work and retweeting comments that Lord Sugar made a big mistake.

I think part of the reason why Lord Sugar fired her is because she just looks the sort of person who really wants a career in the entertainment industry.

I'd imagine she could easily get a career in the adult entertainment industry if she so wished.

I could NOT stand that woman. So SMUG, Glad she got her Marching orders before Stuart.
I wouldn't trust her at all in business.

The Apprentice has just aired. She did well on it. It makes sense to signal to any potential employers that job offers will be considered. Unlike the tabloids and some DS posters, real employers can recogise skills that they might find useful and are worth their time talking about. This has certainly happenned for previous candidates who showed themselves to be very employable (eg S5 Howard, S4 Simon) who got better jobs off the back of TA.

Yes she is just like the other celebrity wannabe Kath Walsh who is now presenting 'very badly' on something called Live on 5 every evening.

Kate is very good. She's a natural anchor - organised, safe in the sense that many presenters are not for pre watershed live TV, and quick. Thats not even the title of the show .........

As jobs go its far better than anything Sugar has given anyone. She's interviewing the same people Norton, Winkleman and Ross do, with the same A list guests, more often, and she often gets more out of them. She also gets to go on lots of outside assignments people pay lots to go on. There's no comparison with selling pointless advertising screens or anything else thats been on offer on the Apprentice since series 2.

Liz seems to be doing what anyone intelligent would do, and most of this years notable candidates seem to be doing - seeing what opportunities come up. Past experience is that some people will get better offers in their own line of work, others will branch out into lecturing on business/life skills and supporting business education and others will end up doing somehing new like running internet selling sites for others or themselves, some will get TV work. They will all use name recogntion from the Apprentice as best as they can. Presenting Channel 5's version of the BBC's film and celebrity shows,or anything else, is hardly less interesting, worthwhile, or, you suspect, lucrative.

errr... Liz actually was a very successful candidate on the Apprentice, I shouldn't need to remind you how far she got. So what if she's touting for work? I can't help but think people will always find a reason to dislike her because she is very good looking, successful and intelligent.

I couldn't care less about her looks, I am not a shallow pathetic little moron. If she really is capable then good luck to her.

So anyone that notices that shes pretty is instantly a "shallow pathetic little moron"?

What about her other attributes? She wasn't just a pretty face. You sound bitter.

I think there are far more desperate candidates than Liz. IMHO she should have been in the final.

We all know Liz got fired so they do a hatchet job on Stuart B(r)aggs in the following episode at interviews. Was purely a "good TV" moment.

And? Whether you lot like it or not, the girl already had a good job on merit and will always be able to find another one on merit. So what if she maximises on opportunities to get a job in the media? You seriously think any of the others wouldn't?

I'm not bitter in the slightest and have no reason to be, you've misinterpreted my comment completely. In all honesty, I was rip roaring drunk last night (cider is the root of all evil, I am now convinced of this) and was in a filthy mood, so had a rant or three.

I agree that Liz has plenty of good attributes, and wasn't saying that she was there for her looks. Hence I said I didn't care about her looks (well, I don't) - I meant because there are many good things about her character and performance to comment on!

calm down, calm down you'll give yourself a heart attack!!
Fair point, can't argue.

I do find it sad that BaggsTheBrand got further than she did! Not surprising, as this is the nature of reality tv, but I certainly don't think Liz should have been the one to go. I think she had a lot more to offer than Stu.

FYI Linkedin is the network for the truely business minded. If Liz was the WAG or Z-list celeb some of you like to hope, she'd just get her PR agent to sell some story to the tabloids.

Don't know why there are so many sour grapes on Liz putting this out of twitter by some posters here. Jealously?

I'd say that it was a good move, or 'shrewd as LS might put it, on her behalf. I'm sure she will do well.

I would have thought its the obvious and inevitable thing to do. And its also what most of the other Apprentices are doing from Twitter. Sandeesh has just got a job with the BBC as I read her twitter and Laura is getting offers too....

You also just have to look at what Saira, Ruth, Clare and Michelle and some of the US winners do - they present, they get TV shows, they lecture, they set up niche training or selling businesses, they write newspaper columns, some even write how to succeed books...

Only an idiot would ingore linkedin out of fear that some anonymous person on the Internet with a mad-on for her might mock her for advertising her services the same way tens of millions of other people do. Yup, surely its a sign that Liz is desperate! She's... GASP... acting like everyone else looking for a job.
