Synopsis
Confucius says: "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life". It's an appealing philosophy and one that may be within your reach.
So if you're bored of the daily grind and dream of an exciting new career, don't despair, it's never too late to change - and here's your chance.
There is a different job up for grabs each week and the only criteria for applying is that you have...absolutely no experience.
The drama of the competition is juxtaposed with the potential for real, lifelong transformation and set against the backdrop of a riveting behind-the-scenes look at some of the country’s leading companies and the managerial styles of its top bosses.
The jobs up for grabs in Season 1 are:
Interior Designer
Trainee Sports Trader
Reporter

Chef
Advertising
