BURBANK - March 2, 2006 - Donald Trump will kick off the sixth

personally interviewing applicants at Universal Studios in Hollywood

the show, "The Apprentice" will leave Manhattan and move
to southern California for season six, which shoots this summer and
airs in fall 2006. Season five of "The Apprentice" is
currently airing Mondays at 9 p.m. ET.
"People who want to challenge themselves in the ultimate
business competition should definitely come apply," said
executive producer Donald Trump. "They'll be facing a whole new
series of twists, turns and challenges when we take 'The Apprentice'
to southern California."
Trump will also interview applicants in person at the New York
City casting call, slated for March 24 at Trump Tower, and casting
directors will visit 15 other cities throughout March and April.
Prospective applicants should: be able to take risks, bounce back
after failing, succeed in a cutthroat environment, go against the
tide, remain focused, think creatively and be a leader. Interested
candidates should complete the online application form (www.nbc.com)
and apply for one of the most coveted jobs in the country.
Interviews will take place in the following cities. For all
casting calls, wristbands are distributed at 9 AM and at 10 AM
