158 The art of double-speak (2/2)
At this question, Ben smiled with confidence. ”Absolutely” Media was his lifeblood. I know all about mediaeverything there is to know about the top 1000 waifus
His confident body language was the key
Bob proceeded to ask standard interview questions about Bens skills and experiences, and his knowledge regarding the company and media industry. ”What kind of experience do you have writing commentaries or summaries using computers? What is your process?”
Ben thought for a few moments. For the following questions, he decided to use a technique hed learned at university called double-speak: telling the truth while hiding the genuine details. ”If I view a piece of noteworthy information, I focus on its key aspects, highlighting the central point for my readers. My process is to frame my writing to get an emotional reaction from them.”
Jacob nodded. ”A good approach. Focusing on the central aspect is crucial, and emotions capture attention.”
Ben was thinking of a 4chan post where a guy fell off a skateboard onto a railing, smashing his balls
Back then, Bens reply about the central point was, ”D*ck broke?”
.
Bob continued. ”Walk me through how you examine news items in order to determine topics to address.”
Ben responded. ”I look for points that would interest the masses. If I determine its engaging according to whats popular in media, I focus more on the story.” He understood what was newsworthy. I look for tits, ass, and people getting injured.
…
”Share an experience in which you successfully shared a difficult piece of information.”
Ben recalled when he met Tyler in the gym, won their bet, and made sure Tyler remembered that he was his father ”First, I checked if the receiver was aware of the information. (He checked if Tyler remembered to call him daddy.)
When he wasnt, I communicated the information in plain words (Ben told him he was his daddy.)
…
I then provided supporting evidence. (He mentioned a birth certificate.)
…
After, the receiver showed an emotional reaction to the information, and tried to cause a conflict, so I stepped out of the way so it wouldnt escalate. (He stepped out of the way to let him crash into a weight rack.)
…
I then left, allowing the person to absorb the information, and checked with them later when things calmed down, verifying the information was correctly accepted.” (He faceslapped him again later so he wouldnt forget who his daddy was)
…
Jacob and Bob nodded at each other. He has good communication skills…
Bob moved on to the next one within this theme. ”Share another experience where you dealt with a difficult person and how you handled the situation.”
Ben thought back to when Lias boyfriend stole his woman at a bar. ”A competitor stole my resources. Yet, I didnt want to escalate things, so I asked for support from above. (He summoned Truck-kun.)
…
After that senior moderated the situation, I reported the facts. (He trash-talked him to a police officer.)
…
In the end, we came to a win-win resolution. (He nutted on Lia and the boyfriend kept his life.)
Jacob and Bob were thinking the same thing: Mature conflict resolution
…
Ben proceeded to answer their questions with well-thought-out responses, making even the woman and the Paul look up from their phones several times. Bens competency wasnt too unusual though. His stats of 7 charisma, 6 knowledge, and 6 communication were above what a standard undergrad internship candidate would have.
Although the interviewers still didnt plan to hire him, he was winning their appreciation. Bob and Jacob thought that if they gave him a few years, he might become a good prospect.
However, Paul didnt agree, and was growing tired of this dragging on. Hes answering the questions well but this boy has no genuine experience with media. I need to make that clear to terminate this. He intervened with his own questions. ”Id like to ask something.” He glanced at Ben with the same undisguised contempt. ”What role does media play in peoples lives? And whats the biggest challenge facing the modern media industry today?”
At this two-part question, Bob frowned. Hes a freshman applying for an internship. What would he understand about the challenges of the industry?
Jacob also sighed. You cant expect a boy to understand the role of media in womens lives. Such a philosophical question isnt something a teenager can give a satisfactory answer to. Thats why we never ask these kinds of questions in internsh.i.p.s.
They knew it was unfair, but they also understood Pauls position. Whats more is they felt theyd given Ben enough attention to show respect to Bob and his friend. It was time to end this.
As for Ben, he knitted his eyebrows in thought. He knew double-speak wouldnt pass this time. Using his new Elementary Body Language Reading, he also understood the dynamic of the room. This is a killing blow If I cant provide an exemplary answer to this, my interview will be over
His mind struggled to find a way, any way, to grasp this opportunity
