A new reality show, Breaking-In, that creates a platform for youths to gain insights as well as meaningful career jobs on a live TV show, has debuted with 80 instant job slots available.

The reality show which is originally packaged by pay TV company, StarTimes, would give Nigerian youths the opportunity to know first-hand what goes on behind the interview scenes.

Speaking at the unveiling in Lagos on Thursday, the CEO of StarTimes, Alex Jian said: “Breaking-In is designed to bring unending suspense, comic relief and education to viewers.”

Jian said StarTimes partnered with top companies to give immediate job opportunities to over 80 successful candidates while runners-up will win gifts worth millions of naira.

Jian said: “With this kind of show, people can find jobs while customers can get entertained with the razzmatazz of the show. Having partnered with top companies, about eighty to a hundred winners are guaranteed jobs with good remunerations.”

The Content Director of StarTimes, Viki Liu said the high point of the reality show is the negotiation and fate box segment where a tempting offer, as well as three boxes, is thrown at the successful candidates to choose one.

“The fate box has options that outweigh the tempting offer, equals the tempting offer, or less than the tempting offer. The candidate is then left to either accept the offer or dip their hands into the fate box to decide their fate”, Liu said.
