The Assistant
POSTPONED but not abandoned
‘The Apprentice’ is the only TV show I watched regularly. Sir Alan Sugar puts 15 candidates through a series of tasks during which one or more of the losing team gets fired. At the end, the remaining one is hired at a salary of £100,000. I think I have a few things in common with Sir Alan and I even did a little business with him in the past. I don’t have his money and I doubt if I can get any TV coverage but the basic idea appeals to me and so I came up with ‘The Assistant’.
The fact is that I want an assistant to help me to sell my biography featuring two famous women. I intend to choose a maximum of ten candidates and set them some relevant tasks which I may film and use to make a DVD. After each task, one or more will be fired . The successful candidate will become my assistant at the Frankfurt Book Fair and will receive a percentage of the book and DVD sales at or generated by the Fair which could be more than the annual salary paid by Sir Alan if it were calculated on a daily basis.
The Candidates:
• Candidates must be female, aged 18-30 with long black or blonde hair and sign an agreement to be filmed for a DVD which may be sold to the public or even appear on TV. For the event, the winning candidate will dress her hair in Victorian style and possibly wear Victorian costume too.
• Candidates should be fluent in English and be able to read and write it well. ( unless you are only interested in dancing or singing when English ability is less important - please see Dancer or Singer Only opposite.)
Both Catherine Hayes and Lola Montez spoke several European languages but I won’t insist on that.
• An abilty to sell is essential and being a singer and/or dancer could make you the winner.
