The Job

THE JOB is a reality series/competition that offers qualified candidates a chance to land a position of employment at a major company. Hosted by Lisa Ling, each episode features five previously selected well-qualified candidates vying for a position with a large, well-known company. After a variety of interview rounds, including spending a day at the job site and industry Q & A sessions, less desirable candidates are eliminated. During the final round of the interview process, three potential employers from guest companies who have been observing the proceedings are given the chance to select a candidate to whom they are willing to offer a job on the spot. The person lucky enough to get the surprise offer must determine at that time whether s/he will accept it, or continue to interview for the job he or she was originally trying to get. After the entire interview process is over, one of the remaining candidates is offered a position. Throughout the show, information is posted for companies who are interested in the candidates, and/or who might want to make job offers of their own.
