Foot in the Door
Synopsis
An early win-a-job show, though a precursor more to Grandad's Back in Business and Faking It than The Apprentice. Each episode featured three applicants competing for the same job, generally something fairly glamorous like working in rally sport or being a travel writer. They went through an interview and practical tests, and at the end one got the job and the other two... didn't. The practical tests were quite big things, though - the advertising creatives got taken to New York to devise a campaign for the state lottery, the travel writers got sent off to various far-flung places and told to write a basic guide with a map and photos in a weekend, and so on.
