The System In My Head

The art of double speaking

Sitting in the interview room, Bob furrowed his eyebrows at Ben's "survival achievement" and his "simple".

However, Jacob was Bob's senior so he didn't think about it. "okay... Benjamin, then perhaps you can clarify this other achievement:

Dropping the kids,

Invite kids..”.

...

Jacob answered for her. "Introduce and deliver children... It's great! It shows that he is trusted in the community!"

...

'Both are related to water descent ...' Ben scratched his face. 'I guess I'm trusted in unity ...'

Bob continued. "Then, how about:

Green Hat Delivery Service,

Gullet... Inspector?"

...

Jacob blinked repeatedly as he stared at the paper...

Then, he spoke. "Bob, obviously, right? This young man is a businessman! He was too humble to make his own project a work experience!"

...

The old man read again his achievements. "Delivery service and even the inspector... of the esophagus?" He looked at Ben, before continuing. "Is that a new tool that kids play?"

...

Ben replied with a hesitant nod. 'It could be considered that ...'

Jacob's eyebrows are uplifted. "Tell me later where I can find him... I have to give my grandson a birthday present. Does it suit him?"

Ben developed a tense smile. "He'll like it..."

Jacob laughing. "Good job! It is impressive that you are a technologist at such a young age!"

Bob pointed at the resume. "Photographer Skeetlance..."

Jacob jumped on it. " Skeetlance photographer? Is that the new urban style? ...I've never heard of it, but photography is a useful skill to have in the industry!"

Bob scratched his head while continuing his list. "Throat...Yogurts...A seller?"

...

Ben stared at all of this with a cold face. He was waiting when this interview exploded ...

Jacob breathed. "Throat yogurt seller... They say the frozen yogurt boom is just a fad, and I hear a lot of people in the industry are losing money. So, Benjamin, I'm not going to ask you the details, but I just want you to remember it. -- It's great to try things when young... If you want to sell throat yogurt, I say great!"

...

Bob is rubbing his temples. He doesn't know why but the headache comes ... Exhaling, he read the next item. "Cuckmasters...Heads...Netori?"

...

Jacob shook his head at Bob in disagreement. "Aren't you listening to Bob? Cooking to survive!"

...

Bob grimaced involuntarily.as if something was wrong but he was not sure what... 'These survivalists really do have strange naming senses...'

Although it seems Jacob and Bob are too laid back, in fact, they don't expect Ben to get this job. They're just trying to make him feel better out of respect for Bob's friend. Based on Paul's previous reaction, he will veto Ben's application later. Since that was the case, they did not take it too seriously. Instead, why not praise Ben a little and comfort him after the verbal abuse he received? He's still a kid anyway...

Jacob smiled at Ben. "Very impressive."

"Thank you... Jacob." Chef Ben swallowed.

Bob's eyes twitched. 'OK..but what is a Post-Apocalyptic Currency?'

...

However, he moved on to the next topic. He did not want to be reviled by his senior anymore... "Okay Benjamin, I only have one last question about your resume. Please explain the meaning of the item you provided under the award: Title Poison Dragon..."

...

Jacob waited with bright eyes. He doesn't know what that means.

...

Ben's beating. "It's um..class..class title for..debat."

...

Jacob and Bob looked at each other before Jacob turned to Ben. "That sounds malignant ..."

Bob continued. "alright. I have no doubt about your resume. Let's move on. I want to ask you a few questions."

As they move into the next part of the interview, Jacob and Bob feel it will be over soon. 'This should be too difficult for this young man ...'

The woman and Paul, who also ignored everything, glanced at Ben now, showing expressions of disgust as they believed the same thing. They even shifted in their seats, as if hoping they would wake up soon. However, Bob tries to follow the correct procedure as he does not want Ben to return and tells Professor Harisson that they are bullying him.

'He's very young. Does he know how the industry works?' Observing Ben, even though Bob did not criticize him publicly, he still had the same doubts as Paul. "Benjamin, since you've just arrived in New York, do you have a basic understanding of the media industry?"

At this question, Ben smiled confidently. "Of course..." Media is the source of his life. 'I know all about media—all there is to know about top 1000 waifu ...'

His confident body language is key...

Bob goes on to ask standard interview questions about Ben's skills and experience, and his knowledge of the company and the media industry. "What kind of experiences do you have when writing comments or summaries using a computer? How's your process?"

Ben thought for a moment. For the following question, he decided to use a technique he learned at university called double-speak: telling the truth while hiding the original details. "If I see a piece of important information, I focus on its key aspects, highlighting a central point for my readers. My process is to frame my writing to get an emotional reaction from them."

Jacob nodded. "The good approach. Focusing on the central aspect is very important, and emotions attract attention."

Ben thought of the 4chan post where a man fell from a skateboard onto a fence, smashing his ball...

Back then, Ben's answer about his central point was, "D*ck broke?"

....

Bob continued. "Take me through the way you check news items to determine the topic to be discussed."

Ben answers. "I am looking for points that will interest the masses. If I determine it's interesting according to what's popular in the media, I focus more on the story." He understands what is newsworthy. 'I'm looking for watermelons, bumpers and people who are injured.'

...

"Share an experience where you managed to share difficult information."

Ben remembers when he met Tyler at the gym, won their bet, and made sure Tyler remembered that he was his father ... "First, I check if the recipient knows the information. (She checked if Tyler remembered to call her dad.)

...

When he doesn't, I communicate the information in simple words (Ben tells him that he is his father.)

...

I then gave supporting evidence. (He mentioned birth certificate.)

...

After that, the recipient showed an emotional reaction to the information, and tried to cause conflict, so I stayed away from expanding. (He stepped out of the way to let it hit the load rack.)

...

I then go, let the person absorb the information, and check it out later when things have calmed down, verifying that the information was received correctly." (She slapped her face again later so she doesn't forget who her father is)

...

Jacob and Bob nodded at each other. 'He has good communication skills ...'

Bob moved on to the next one in this theme. "Share other experiences where you deal with difficult people and how you handle those situations."

Ben remembers when Lia's boyfriend stole his wife at the bar. "Competitors steal my resources. However, I did not want to make things worse, so I asked for support from above. (He called Truck-kun.)

...

After that senior moderated the situation, I reported the facts. (She talked about it with a police officer.)

...

In the end, we reached a win-win resolution. (She was angry at Lia and her boyfriend defending her life.)

...

Jacob and Bob thought the same thing: 'Resolution of a mature conflict...'

...

Ben went on to answer their questions with a well-thought-out response, even making the woman and Paul look up from their phones a few times. However, Ben's competence was not very outstanding. His statistics of 7 charisma, 6 knowledge, and 6 communication are above what standard undergraduate internship candidates have.

Although the interviewer still did not plan to hire him, he won their award. Bob and Jacob thought that if they gave him a few years, he might be a good prospect.

However, Paul disagrees, and begins to get bored with this. "She answered the question well, but this kid had no real experience with the media. I need to explain it to stop this.' He intervened with his own question. "I want to ask you something." He glanced at Ben with the same disgust. "What role does the media play in people's lives? And what are the biggest challenges facing the modern media industry today?"

On this two-part question, Bob frowned. 'He's a freshman applying for an internship. What would he understand about the challenges of the industry?'

Jacob also breathed. 'You can't expect boys to understand the role of media in women's lives. Such a philosophical question is not something that can be satisfactorily answered by a teenager. That's why we never ask questions like this at internships.ips'

They knew it was unfair, but they also understood Paul's position. What's more, they feel they've given Ben enough attention to show Bob and his friend respect. It's time to end this.

As for Ben, he furrowed his brows while thinking. He knows double talking won't pass this time. Using her new Basic Body Language Reading, she also understood the dynamics of the room. 'This is a deadly blow ... If I cannot give an exemplary answer to this, my interview will end ...'

His mind struggled to find a way, any way, to capture this opportunity...
