Oh no, here we go again. A new series of The Apprentice starts tomorrow night.
Contestants include a London estate agent who reckons: “If you are successful, you are unpopular, so unpopularity is a good thing.”
Alex Britez Cabral, 28, who started in estate agency as a tea-making junior and is into motorbikes, describes himself as “ambitious, driven and extremely focused”.
He got the gig because on his audition reel he said: “I’m not frightened to make enemies and I like being unpopular because usually that means you’re doing your job properly.”
EAT wonders how this warm-hearted lad is going to win over Lord Sugar.

Well he's out now. What a waste of time he was.
FTB'ers - Find me an industry where the seller (or the seller's rep) is not seeking the best possible price...
Cadbury's chocolate bars have gone up by 15p over the past year or so, but 2 blocks of chocolate have been removed.
I thought that was a simple anecdote you might be able to understand.
You said : "I like being unpopular because usually that means you’re doing your job properly"
"Whats wrong with the Entire Industry summed up in one comment. "
Now if you think that is the opinon of the industry, you are stupid. Almost as much as the muppet who said it.
Even still, his comment is directed towards his collagues and compeition - not his clients. (the public).
Some people..!! Give me strength...
In some industries that attitude would be correct, but for one where we deal with the public during an extremely stressful time? How this guy has not had his head kicked in by a stressed and irate buyer/seller is beyond me. Or a fellow Agent come to think of it...

In other words, Estate Agents who think the main purpose of their job is to get the absolute highest price they can wangle, [and the fact that they were allowed to do so, through a complete lack of banking regulations]
is why so many are going bust.
Nobody to blame but yourselves.
Stupid is as Stupid does.......
Stupid Boy!
as above
Good to hear he's happy to be unpopular, as given his chosen "career", I'm sure he won't be disappointed either.
