I always thought he only interviewed or took on peeps that had a significant sales history!

Maybe he's broadening his horizons!

Comments from when I did one a few years ago:

Don't get too excited, you'll start in a waiting room with about 50 other people and you'll then go to another room with about 20 tables/interviewers where you'll spend about 5-10 minutes talking to someone if you're lucky. I saw some people walk out within 2 minutes!

They're looking for a set of 'TV characters' first and a potential apprentice second - so they'll be more interested in what type of personality you have than your intelligence level or ability to make money.

Go armed with ideas on how you'd make Alan money, new/emerging markets/ideas you think he should invest in etc.

If you pass that stage you'll then go and do some stuff in front of camera.

That's as far as I got
