The UK Apprentice Finalist Speaks to Media Box!
With the start of the Irish Apprentice series imminent, Media Box caught up last week with the UK’s The Apprentice finalist, Jim Eastwood or as he has become affectionately known – Jedi Jim.
Speaking at an event hosted by Derry Chamber of Commerce, JSB made sure she got a chance to interview Jim about his unique experience and of course about how he made it so far in the process.
“this process is certainly not for the faint-hearted and what you see is definitely not the full story. We record 100 hours of footage for each one-hour series and I guess you see the best and the worst of us.”
Asked if he was disappointed not to become Lord Sugar’s business partner – this year the format was changed and the winner got a quarter of a million pounds investment from Lord Sugar – Jim laughs and says “it wasn’t for Lord Sugar but I’ve had many investors approach me and I am confident that I can develop my business idea.”
Jim wanted to bring employability workshops into schools by using e-learning and he continues to do these workshops today.
