‘THE APPRENTICE’ LOOKING FOR CANDIDATES AMONG UH GRADS,
WITH CASTING CALL ON CAMPUS

Hoping to hear those now famous words “You’re Hired” – or even the infamous “You’re Fired!” – hundreds of University of Houston graduates are expected to audition for the popular TV show “The Apprentice” Thursday at the UH campus.

Casting directors will be searching for candidates for the fourth season of the reality program in which business mogul Donald Trump puts hopefuls through a series of challenges. The winner receives a job with his organization. The casting directors are looking for successful, business-savvy UH graduates.

Brief interviews will be conducted from 9 a.m. to noon at University Career Services, which is located on the first floor of the Student Service Center 1 building. Those participating must have scheduled their interviews by e-mailing reddins@uh.edu.

Media are welcome to cover the event, but are encouraged to contact Eric Gerber, in the Office of University Communication, at 713-743-8189 to make arrangements.
