Synopses & Reviews
Known to the millions of viewers of the hit reality television show The Apprentice, Carolyn Kepcher attracted enormous media attention for her cool demeanor and her no-holds-barred assessments of the show's candidates in the boardroom each week. In particular, she was not shy about speaking out about her disappointment with the professional conduct of the female candidates, whom she felt too often resorted to using their sex appeal to move ahead and gain the favor of Donald Trump.

ace an interview
ask for a raise or promotion
maintain a healthy balance between work and home life
deal with a difficult boss
spot and seize potential business opportunities
dress for success
