NBC's "The Apprentice®" is Casting for Next Season Starting April 1st; Focus on Employment-Challenged Applicants

NBC's hit show, The Apprentice®, starring Donald Trump, is starting casting calls beginning April 1, 2010. And no, this isn't an April Fools' joke!

For this next season, The Apprentice® will focus on applicants who are unemployed, underemployed, or new college graduates who are having a tough time landing a job in this economy.

Frankly, I am proud of NBC and Donald Trump for addressing this situation. They are giving a voice to individuals who have been hit hardest by the recession.

Further, they are providing an opportunity for successful applicants to showcase their talents on national television.You can't BUY that type of exposure!

Win or lose, participants on the show will gain visibility on a national basis in the crowded sea of job seekers, which could open up opportunities for meaningful employment.

For complete information on what the casting directors are seeking, an application to download, locations of casting calls in a number of major cities, or to submit an application via email, visit this page on NBC's website: http://bit.ly/drHKLd.

Good luck and put your best foot forward!
