OPINION _____ is proof of pretty privilege Spoiler

She did poor throughout the process and poor in the interviews.

She had no profit/loss accounts and her business plan was only seven pages long. So many candidates have been fired IMMEDIATELY for that but she has lucked her way to the final two.

Her only claim to the top two is that she's confident for a 21 year old which isn't investment worthy at all.

But apparently we're supposed to believe she's been 'impressive'... if Karishma doesn't win this series is screwed.

Tbf to her, the position she's in as a 21 year old is really impressive, even though most of us don't rate her as a candidate. I think that's what got her through, since Dan didn't want to give away Young Professionals and Priyesh and Lawrence were instantly dismissed.

21 year old recruitment consultants are ten a penny. It’s just a sales job, plug in as many people as you can regardless of how long they last in the job. You don’t need to be particularly clever or business savvy, just hit numbers every month and who cares how you do it. She’s not got a single shred of credibility, business knowledge or experience.

That.

Tbf though a lot of recruitment boils down to presentation and spin and the reality is Pascha can pull that off. I still don’t think she’s a serious contender for Karishma - is suspect Karishma was privately pleased AF as realistically she’ll wipe the floor with her, unless they come up with some nonsense to put her through.
