The Apprentice 2009: Yasmina Siadatan

Age: 27
Career: Restaurateur
Qualifications: BSc Economic History with Population Studies

Highly ambitious restaurant owner and marathon runner Yasmina was born in Hull and spent time living in Los Angeles and Iran before settling in London. Yasmina, who first experienced the world of business in her dad’s restaurant, describes herself as dominating yet adaptable and believes that business is about spotting a gap in the market and filling it better than anyone else can. She admires Sir Richard Branson’s attitude to personal service and would love to have been the brains behind Microsoft, where the right idea at the right time led to riches.
She says: “Business is about a simple formula. Make more than you spend. That’s what I do, I keep business simple and it works – I’m good at it.”

must have been disappointed to work in a restaurant after all those usless degrees, very low quality candidate.
[...] this weeks catering task Yasmina Siadatan and Rocky Andrews put themselves forward as the ‘obvious’ choices for team leaders. But [...]
Hope they use slightly higher quality ingredients and slightly less deception in their restaurant!
I cannot believe how those do not have serious mathematics, engineering, programming, physics, war experience or surgery skills think they should lead. Including Gordon Brown UK parliment is also full of such inferior people. Average doctors, lawyers and other graduates are just second class and beyond. Their success is due to inferiors like Alan Sugar and medical associations jealously blocking the deserving ones or foolish voters impressed by r How can Yasmina be one of the top 15 for a competition with such a high profile?
How can she sell rubbish food and make that much money. I don’t like her attitude and she thinks people are stupid to buy anything rubbish and don’t mind. She must be fired for selling cheap food and charging more money.
