The unscripted series brings viewers inside the room as real employers conduct real interviews with real candidates. The 10 episode series is set to debut Wednesday, October 25 at 10PM ET/PT.
“There are few situations as tense and dramatic as a job interview. We all know how high the stakes can be because we’ve all been there,” said Jim Ackerman, EVP, Primetime Alternative, CNBC. “Our primetime shows speak to the strivers and the dreamers; people looking to build a better life – and that’s what makes ‘The Job Interview’ a perfect fit for our lineup.”
“The Job Interview” joins returning hits THE PROFIT with serial entrepreneur Marcus Lemonis; outdoor investment series ADVENTURE CAPITALISTS; and the series you can’t afford to miss, SECRET LIVES OF THE SUPER RICH, all premiering this fall.

CNBC’s fall primetime line-up:

Season six of “Secret Lives of the Super Rich” returns with 10 all-new episodes. It’s an exclusive world filled with enormous fortunes, unimaginable extravagance and a cast of super-rich characters with one thing in common — a voracious appetite for success, status, and the best of the best. Reported by CNBC’s Robert Frank, the series unlocks the mansion gates and scores you the ultimate VIP access to a world inhabited by the wealthiest people on the planet. “Secret Lives of the Super Rich” is produced by CNBC.

In each one-hour episode, four separate entrepreneurs showcase products designed for outdoor adventure. These cutting-edge products and inventions run the gamut; from outerwear that can insulate against freezing temperatures (even when wet), to a robotic fishing lure that brings dead bait back to life and a full suspension mountain bike that can trek over any terrain. The adventure capitalists then put these innovations to the test, often in harsh conditions, to determine which are actually worthy of an investment. “Adventure Capitalists” is produced by 3 Ball Entertainment with Todd A. Nelson, Ross Weintraub, DJ Nurre, Grady Candler and Jeff Altrock serving as executive producers. Jim Ackerman and Marshall Eisen are the executive producers for CNBC.

Since “The Profit” first premiered, Marcus Lemonis, Chairman and CEO of Camping World and Good Sam Enterprises, has invested more than $60 million of his own money in the companies featured on the series.
In each episode, Lemonis makes an offer that’s impossible to refuse; his cash for a piece of the business and a percentage of the profits. And once inside these companies, he’ll do almost anything to save the business and make himself a profit; even if it means firing the president, promoting the secretary or doing the work himself. “The Profit” is produced for CNBC by Machete Productions with Amber Mazzola serving as executive producer. Jim Ackerman and Luke Bauer are the executive producers for CNBC.

Fertitta oversees more than 500 properties and over 50 leading restaurant, hotel, and entertainment brands, ranging from high-end properties like Mastro’s and Morton’s The Steakhouse, to such mainstream destinations as Rainforest Cafe, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Saltgrass Steak House, and five Golden Nugget Casinos. With an annual supply spend of $2 billion, his buying power is second to none. Now, he’s personally scouting the country for the most innovative new products America’s entrepreneurs have to offer – everything from food and drink for his restaurants and casinos, to furniture and lighting for his hotels.
In each hour-long episode, Fertitta will spend time with two small businesses, sample their goods, get to know their owners, and assess their compatibility with Landry’s, Inc. He’ll point out flaws in their product and operations, share his expertise, and push for improvements. In the end, he’ll decide whether to place a transformative purchase order with one of the companies, both, or neither.
