Then I can get a job for 100k

It's awful, really sends out a bad message.

I agree. Bad decision. Alex would have actually made a far better apprentice. It really looked like he had it in the bag tonight but obviously Sir Alan had already chosen his winner weeks ago.

It's clear as the series go on that he clearly wants mediocre as mediocre will fit in just right in his company. Nice guy, Lee, but a novice he clearly is. A more well-rounded (or brighter) candidate, such as Claire, would get bored working for such a company and would no doubt be hard to manage. Lee can be moulded, Claire cannot, simple as that.

He owned up didn't he?

Everyone tell a little fib on their CV.

Remember to make as many spelling mistakes as possible.

hahahaha

eye fink hii mayks a bhad impreshun doughnt you?

I have to say it's made me feel less nervous about the many lies on my own CV.

Exactly, next year I'm going to apply The Apprentice next year claiming I've got a BA from Oxford, an MA from Cambridge and a PhD from Harvard.

Why would you do that?
It may not help you with the tasks.

Tasks

If I had been honest on my CV, I wouldnt have even got that far.....................

I am sure you have other merits that would impress

That's alright then.

I've climbed Mount Etna and I can speak seventeen languages.

Giz a job.

SrAlan

I've got a degree cos it took me three years of studying

Ok, I will get my coat then..............

So what he showed what he was made of in the tasks ... a good worker and a better leader

Where have you been. It's common knowledge that every CV is full of lies.

So fiddle your CV if you like. It won't get you a 100k job same as it didn't for LEE.

The Apprentice isn't picked from just the CV's, have you not been watching all these weeks.

The only times CV's get mentioned is if sir alan wants to take the piss out of someone to call them up on being Jewish or any of the other lies that all of them had on their CV's.

That's nonsense.

There's a clear distinction between lying and talking up the truth, with the latter helping to get you noticed which is the whole point of a CV.

There is a great deal of difference in promoting your strengths on a CV than actually lying


Anyone could say they had a qualification by just being on a course without actually doing the work just as Lee did.

It is a smack in the teeth to all those who completed the course by sheer hard work.

Since when does cheating and lying ever be a recommendation to someones abilities.

Only on the Apprentice, it seems.

You are seriously saying Sir Alan picked the apprentice from just the CV's then?

As if.

LEE deserve it most, get used to the idea. Lee was so good he was never once in the entire series brought back in the board room 3 to be fired.

The most anyone bad has to say about him is one of the dates on his CV was wrong. Luckily Sir Alan can see past that and see the bigger picture.

He lied. He told the interviewer he'd been at uni for 2 years. That was a lie. I just wish Alan Sugar hadn't tried to justify it.

He actually didn't own up when he was asked about it; he tried to lie about it until the interviewer produced the evidence that he was lying.

If you can get through the auditions, win 8 tasks, and never be in the boadroom, then go on!!!

...he calls it..." misconstrued information" unbelievable:
