THINK YOU CAN BE THE NEXT APPRENTICE?

Those folks around these parts that believe they have what it takes to last through Donald Trump's "13 week job interview" have a couple of chances to "show their stuff", as the Apprentice Casting Team will be making stops in Tampa and Jacksonville.

This Saturday, March 18, they will be holding interviews in Jacksonville at the University of North Florida Fine Arts Center, 4567 St. John's Bluff Road. The following Friday, March 24, interviews will be held at The News Center, headquarters for NBC affiliate WFLA-TV and The Tampa Tribune, located at 202 South Parker Street in the downtown area.

According to the show's Web site, those wanting to be seen should not arrive before 6:00 AM. Wristbands will be distributed at 9:00 AM, with interviews beginning an hour later. You have to complete and present an application available to download from the Web site (disregard the mention of submitting a videotape, as this is an open casting call). The first three pages of the seven page application document lists a number of requirments.

Can you guess how many folks will be showing up?
