Wondering what's happened to last season's candidates? We caught up with some of them and here's what they had to say about their Apprentice experience.

PAMELA

How did appearing on The Apprentice change your life?

Appearing on the show has changed my life dramatically in some ways, yet in some ways things remain the same. The continuity comes from going right back to running Crimson Holdings, the investment firm I founded. The firm has grown by leaps and bounds and is quickly becoming a leader in managing alternative investments. I continue to stay focused and I've kept grounded by working hard and remembering my priorities -- I am a businesswoman. Period. People identify with me because I'm just like them - I work hard and I'm good at what I do.

The big changes have come through new projects that have come to me since the show. These new projects include writing business and investment columns for magazines, hosting business-related talk shows, paid speaking engagements, and endorsing products for working women. After all, that's what I'm all about.

Who, if anyone, from the show do you keep in contact with?

I keep in touch with Donald, though he calls me too much. I keep in touch with Carolyn and George, who are simply fantastic. I also keep in touch with the producers and casting directors. From the cast I keep close tabs on Bradford, John, the Stacies (both of them), and pretty much the entire cast.

In your opinion, what three words best describe Donald Trump?

What advice can you offer to anyone applying to be the next Apprentice?

Please remember that this is a business show. Be prepared to act professionally and in a business-like manner at all times. Don't embarrass yourself with unethical behavior. Life in business is a long road... you might feel you win the battle with that type of behavior, but you won't win the war. Take the highroad!
