Applications Being Accepted For The Next Series
As per Lord Sugar's Twitter post.
Have any of you applied before or would like to give it a go in the future? Obviously you'd have to make yourself seem like good television to get through the screening process! |

I think being on The Apprentice would be great... but I don't want to be on it, because I wouldn't win because I don't have a good business plan. I might get quite far in the tasks, but I think if you go on The Apprentice and you're not trying to win, you're taking that opportunity from someone who might actually want to do it, which I think would be unfair. If it was just a reality show and not a serious business competition, I'd definitely give it a go.

GCS: I don’t think anybody could blame you for capitalising on the publicity you gained on the show. I have to ask though, hand on your heart, was gaining publicity the main reason you went on The Apprentice?I applied for series eight for a laugh. Didn't get on (obviously) but got an interview. I say go for it! |

I say go for it! I probably still won't though; I'm going to University in September, so I won't have time to film. EDIT: When is this going to be filmed? I thought it was always in the autumn before broadcast, but I've just looked and the closing date for applications is January 2014... is it usually like that? |

I have always wanted to apply because I am business minded, always looking for a profit margin etc. But I am not a confident speaker nor do I have a business plan.
If it was the old style Apprentice, I would definitely have given it more thought. |

Ooooh rwebster, that's interesting. What were the interviews like? Are these the interviews that are posted on the BBC website of the chosen candidates??

There is only one business plan that I can imagine entering, and that's the one that I submitted for Virtual Apprentice. I'm really proud that I came up with that because I think it's a brilliant idea and there doesn't seem to be anything else like it out there; but having said that I have never had any plans to actually run it. It's not really what I want from life. Plus I'm not sure about the wisdom of entering The Apprentice with a business idea that I've discussed on a public forum.
I auditioned to go on Big Brother last year and I got quite a long way... that's something that always interests people. I didn't try this year because I had other things I wanted to do. In a few years time I might give it another go though, who knows? |

I got quite far through the audition process a few years ago but when things started getting serious, I pulled out of the audition process (of which there is many).
I'd never go on a show like that. Or, indeed any show that could potentially make me look a total nutter! |

I'd like to do something like that, trouble is that I'm probably not qualified enough in the sense that I am merely a finance assistant. I do have an idea of what my business would be, I'd need help putting bits of it together.

One thing I noticed about the application form - the deadline is next January, and the audition interviews will take place as late as next March. I'm guessing next year's series won't be aired until autumn, or possibly even near the start of 2015.
