alert!

there will be some testing on the blog in the next few hours. so the layout of the blog may change and anything could happen. you have been warned.

finished!
i have finished the testing on the blog. it didn't work out, but i left you a screenshot of what this blog could have looked like....



apprentice
ruth "the badger" badger lost the apprentice. it was a great show. with ups and downs every ten minutes....

choosing the teams
ruth: stronger team, all good at what they do
michelle: team with many conflicting personalities

ideas
ruth: comes up with original but somewhat lame idea
michelle: takes words straight out of sir alan's mouth, but is a popular idea

ticket sales
ruth: manages to sell about 69 of 80 tickets in first 36 hours
michelle: manages to sell only 11 tickets in first 36 hours

consistency
ruth: keeps changing ideas and views on what to do
michelle: sticks to one idea and ploughs on with it

the event
ruth: night appears to go well but mystery/murder theme confuses guests
michelle: 007 night with dancing girls and diamond auction goes down a storm

boardroom
ruth: gets general good reviews. team makes most profit altogether
michelle: sir alan says he only has a "gut feeling" on why he should hire her

boardroom - arguments
ruth: "i am the apprentice for the following reasons: i'm an all-rounder, i've got a lot of skills, i'll increase your productivity and increase your revenue."
michelle: "i will learn from what you teach me and deliver very strongly and passionately for your businesses i'll be a good resource for you."

comment
ruth: possibly her biggest downfall was because she couldn't remain consistent with her ideas and also claimed in the boardroom that "she cannot be moulded" or something along those lines. being an apprentice is about being moulded into the perfect business person. not applying the same skills somewhere else.

michelle: also known as "the blonde". she struggled to manage her team and came in with the lowerst profit margin, but managed to put on an evening that was enjoyed by all - including sir alan.
