Hogg, 26, may not have been cutthroat enough to make it to the Apprentice finals, but these days the Dallas-based businessman is back at work as marketing director of National Care Network, a healthcare claims management company. Since the show aired, Hogg says he's received about 300 job offers. "I had so many companies on the East Coast offering me jobs," he told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, (but) "I realized I need to work in the Dallas-Fort Worth area."
Heidi Bressler
With her mother's cancer in remission and Omarosa no longer a thorn in her side, Bressler, 30, is hoping to make the most of her Apprentice fame. The New Jersey native has been busy making speaking appearances ("I would not trade this for a cubicle job any day!," she says), will be a spokeswoman for a cancer organization and – like several other Apprentice alums – wants a shot as an author: She's written a tell-all book about her time on The Apprentice, set for a December release. "People will know why I was not scared of Donald Trump," she says.
Sam Solovey
Solovey, 28, had far-fetched ideas ($1,000 for a cup of lemonade?) but earned points from Trump for his bravado. The feisty Chevy Chase, Md.-based Solovey (who married teacher Lori Levin on Aug. 15 in Washington, D.C.) tried his hand at acting in the Off-Broadway production of Tony 'n' Tina's Wedding in May and is now on the lecture circuit. "Business is kind of boring after you've been on a reality show," he says. "It's tough to go back."
Jessie Conners
"I am so thankful for the whole thing," says Conners, 23, about the stepping-stone role The Apprentice has played in her career. In June, Conners launched Wealth.com, a Web site aimed at offering investment advice, to which fellow contestants McClain, Hogg and Solovey all plan to contribute.
Jason Curis
The second contestant to hear "You're fired!," Curis, a 24-year-old real-estate entrepreneur, owns Detroit-based JMG Management, and owns 100 rental units and 23 properties. His dream? To persuade Trump to build a landmark Curis-Trump Tower in Detroit.
Kristi Frank
Along with fellow Apprentices Campins, Henry and Vetrini, Frank steamed up the pages of the May issue of men's magazine FHM with a sexy spread. These days, the recently married (and pregnant) Frank's main passion is being an entrepreneur: She owns Juliano's Raw restaurant in Santa Monica.
Tammy Lee
Lee, 37, made her share of waves on The Apprentice when she admitted her team wasn't savvy enough to beat the other side during a challenge. Now, the controversy-stirring former Merrill Lynch broker (who's pregnant with her first child) has her sights set on pursuing an acting career.
Nick Warnock
Warnock's "showmance" with Amy Henry made tongues wag for a time, but these days the former Xerox copier salesman, 28, is focused on selling advertising for Niche Media Holdings, which publishes L.A. Confidential and Gotham magazines. He also recently recorded a motivational sales CD. "I've got to strike while the iron is hot," says Warnock of his post-Apprentice fame.
