There’s something sorta surreal about watching your own goatee bounce while you talk on your own TV, babbling through a video resume, while you dub a Mini-DV tape to a VHS tape because that’s what the interview process requires. Am I sending it in? Well, why not? If only because it’s tangible proof that I’ve been interviewing at companies while looking for a job. Besides, I haven’t been on TV for a couple of years now and I figure I’m due: I’d rather pick where or when I appear, rather than seeing myself flip off Martha Stewart on Court TV or something.
Besides, what else do I have to lose? Self-esteem? Takes more than getting rejected from a reality TV show to dent my psyche… I forgot two lines of a verse of a song while performing live once and I still sing from time to time – ya gotta have a thick skin to make it thru life these days, along with a sense of humor. Then again, maybe I won’t bother to send it in… at least it helped to fill the day.
At least I’m not singing “She Bangs” for them; even I have limits.

I said I might not end it in at all. Besides, I haven’t cracked, yet: I’ve just run out of things to do during the day. HotJobs and Monster and Dice can only fill up so much time.
Send it in. You never know, you might get on. I would love to be able to watch some one I know on a reality show.
My sister wants me to, so she can see me “get fired” by Trump. Ah, to be overwhelmed by support. :D
I have a reader who would like to know Stacy J’s last name. Anyone remember what it is?
Thanks.

I’m pretty sure that they never ever give out the last names of the candidates… I did somes research when I heard that one of the current candidates worked at MS: I checked the Apprentice website and the Yahoo! sections and they didn’t show any last names… so unless it came up in the broadcast itself, I doubt it’ll posted anywhere.
Having said that, you might want to give MSN Search a look – can’t hurt!
