“The Job” is the typical, “compete for this ultimate grand-prize” reality television show that airs on Friday nights at 7 p.m. on CBS. It centers around an array of adults fighting for their dream job in the presence of employers from a high-end company. They’re thrown into the mix of that particular job for one day, and a single person gets eliminated after each round until one is left standing with the opportunity of a lifetime.
As great as it is that this television show is aiming at helping people in this economy, it was difficult to grasp the concept of the show from the beginning. With the confusion, I was struggling to keep interest the entire 60 minutes of a single episode.
Some of the challenges the potential employees had to endure seemed quite unfair in different aspects. The employers expected the contestants to know everything about the job without so much as an orientation or training of any sort, and it was all unrealistic.
This show has an amazing opportunity for people to achieve their dreams. However, there’s a bland atmosphere due to a lifeless announcer, zero intensity, overall lack of energy from the judges and contestants and it airs on Friday nights. It’s safe to say “The Job” will not be around for long.
