Coming from business, I have learned that business is as much connections than just being smart.You need friends. Randall could have had a business friend for life...now Rebecca is probably an enemy for life. She probably won't take his calls!

I understand that Rebecca has other offers and YAHOO has offered her a job. She may have lost the job with Trump, but her tactics earned her a job with the sponsors.

1. SYS-CON Media (www.sys-con.com) announced today that it plans to offer the top job at SYS-CON Events, Inc., the company's fully owned subsidiary that produces leading i-technology conferences and trade shows, to Ms. Rebecca Jarvis. SYS-CON's offer to Ms. Jarvis will be to run the events division of the company as president and CEO with an annual salary of $150,000. Part of the job responsibilities of the president and CEO position, which is currently open, will include the launch of three international conferences in 2006: iTVcon – Internet TV Conference & Expo (www.itvcon.com), SOA Web Services Edge Conference & Expo, and Enterprise Open Source Conference & Expo.

"SYS-CON Media has become the world's leading media company in i-technology markets in the past 10 years," said Fuat Kircaali, founder and CEO of the company. "We believe Rebecca can be a strong leader in our organization to grow this division and we would love to discuss this opportunity and the job details with her. In terms of her qualifications for the job: which employment agency could have ever done a better job than Donald? We believe Ms. Jarvis is fully qualified for this position."

2. Moments after Randall Pinkett was selected by Donald Trump to be the "Apprentice," he made it clear he didn't want any company.
During the live broadcast, Trump, after hiring Pinkett, asked if he should hire Rebecca Jarvis, too.

"It's not 'The Apprenti,' it's 'The Apprentice,'" Pinkett said, shooting down Jarvis' shot at a gig with Trump.

Trump said yesterday he came up with the idea of hiring both during the telecast, which emanated from Lincoln Center and was watched by 14 million viewers.

"I felt Randall should at least have a say," Trump told the Daily News yesterday.

But then Pinkett shot off the "Apprenti" line.

"I was surprised, because I think most people would have said hire Rebecca, too," Trump said. "It shows he's certainly an independent thinker."

Anyone watching the telecast Thursday night could see Trump was leaning toward Pinkett, who has multiple degrees and a stint at Oxford. During the run of "The Apprentice," viewers also saw his teams win repeatedly. He was also well-liked by his teammates. Still, the shot at Jarvis in the last final moments of the show was surprising.

"I'm not against what Randall did," Trump said. "He did a brave thing. His line was unbelievable."

Trump said he told Jarvis afterward he was surprised Pinkett didn't vote to hire her. However, Jarvis won't be out of work long. The folks at Yahoo offered her a job yesterday. Yahoo executives even offered her a job Friday morning during her "Today Show" interview with Katie Couric.

Someone said something wonderful:
In response to why Donald didn't just hire both. I think Donald actually thought that Randall would say yes since he talked so positively about Rebeccas abilities and they seemed to be two adults respectful of each others abilities until Randall turned into an insecure baby. Rebecca said it brilliantly when Katie Couric asked her if the tables were turned what would she do. She said of course I would say yes, why would I try to keep someone with such intelligence and competence who could be such an asset to the corporation from being a part of that. No offense but do we think Randalls grandmother was proud of him then? Also to whomever said Randall has started five companies and Rebecca has started none. He is 34 she is 23. He has eleven years on her. She will far surpass Randall at 34. Rebecca for 23 was incredibly intelligent, loyal and had more integrity then Randall will ever have and she dealt with everything with such class. You can't teach that at MIT. Somethings just can't be learned in a class room and Randall proved with his degree he still has alot to learn.
