Will you tune in?

MTV's new show "Hired" begins today. The show "tracks young adults as they look for jobs" and demonstrates that "many entry-level candidates need guidance," according to an article in the Wall Street Journal.

Appropriately, the show makes its debut during a week coinciding with many college graduations. It also seems especially relevant given the competitive job market we face today as a result of the recession.

It will be interesting to see if the show proves to offer any useful advice for job seekers, or if, true to MTV reality TV, it will focus primarily on being entertaining.

Check out the whole Wall Street Journal article here:
