How did that go, guys?

I thought Val's and Karren's interviews went really well, but I struggled more with Lord Stuart's. He said I wasn't really an all-rounder - which is fair enough, actually. I do have certain weaknesses that he picked up on. Don't know if I'm strong enough to avoid being fired, but I'll do my best. Good luck everyone

It was better than I thought. Lord Stuart's was definitely the hardest.

I did not realise that my CV was going to come back and haunt me. I enjoyed Karren's the most but Lord Stuart's was very constructive, helpful and very useful if I was to start my business.

Yeh Lord Stuart did help but was by far the harshest.

Lord Stuart's was very interesting and helped me realise my mistakes.

Lord Stuart was really critical of mine because it contained no information about figures - which is a criticism that I was expecting actually, because I knew that when I sent it off. I just said that I thought it would be more credible if it was honest about what I know than if it was filled with inaccuracies. I'm not sure if it made a difference to him, but what's done is done.

I think we all know that we're going! But only one of us will, so two will be pleasantly surprised...

I obviously haven't seen your business plan, but it was a sort of virtual library thing, wasn't it? Sort of like a Kindle online.

Yep, it allows people to read books from their own computer.

Here is a prototype website

Lord Stuart was harsh on everyone but he was only doing his job.
