The Apprentice: MafiaScum - Someone Hired!

ShadowLurker · Post Post #0 (ISO) » Fri Mar 13, 2009 3:40 pm

Format:
16 people will compete to be The Apprentice.
Each week, the teams must choose a

Project Manager

. I will then post a task. The deadline for these tasks will always be at least 48 hours, and usually 72 or more hours.
The losing team will meet me in the

Boardroom

, where we will discuss what went down during the task.
The Project Manager will then bring two people along with them that he believed performed the worst on the task to the

Final Boardroom

and I will choose one to fire.
There will be at least one

Corporate Reshuffling

(team mix up) during the game.
These rules are subject to changes as the situation necessitates. For example, I may choose to do a double firing or offer the Project Manager the ability to bring three people back into the Final Boardroom.

We are standing in front of Trump Towers, the biggest and most successful buildings in Las Vegas! I have in front of me 16 of the smartest and most qualified people who are all competing in this 13 week job interview to become my Apprentice.

I have arranged them into two teams on the basis of age and ensured that each team has a mixture of genders. With age comes experience yet the young ones may have a creative edge. Who will triumph?

YOUNG TEAM
JDodge, ZazieR, Drench, Max, dahill1, animorpherv1, +, pacman281292

OLD TEAM
pickemgenius, Kmd4390, farside22, crywolf20084, SensFan, Cybele, Korts, Panzerjager

Your first job as teams is to pick a Project Manager for the first task! A project manager must be able to organize the team efficiently.

Zazie, give your thoughts on PM please. You are the last person on this team whose input I find to be valuable.

ZazieR · Post Post #20 (ISO) » Wed Mar 18, 2009 6:24 am

You do?! This is something I don't hear that much.
Uhm sure... Is there anything specifics you want to hear?

Who do you want to be project manager, what are your opinions on their qualifications, etc.

If I am chosen as PM, I will try my hardest to properly utilize my team's talents.

ZazieR · Post Post #22 (ISO) » Wed Mar 18, 2009 6:57 am

I've send a PM with my thoughts.

ShadowLurker · Post Post #23 (ISO) » Wed Mar 18, 2009 8:17 am

The

Project Managers

for this week will be

JDodge

leading the young team and

Cybele

leading the old team.

Since you will be representing Donald Trump, I expect you guys to only have the best. That is why your first task is to come up with a team name and design a logo that incorporates this team name. Don't be afraid to go above and beyond what I ask for though.

You have 5 days for this task; I expect a submission by Monday 4PM EDT. Carolyn, George, and I will be the judges for this task. It is very important to be on time in the business world!
