  • Hi, I'm Ben Whittaker.

  • I received an email about an interview for a senior intern program.

  • Hey, Ben, how's it going?

  • It's going good, real good, thank you.

  • Excellent, take a seat around the corner and someone from Talent Acquisition will come get you.

  • Thank you.

  • Talent Acquisition.

  • There's gonna be a couple of interviews today, Ben.

  • We wanna make sure that we both find the right fit.

  • Business as usual is not really our motto, so we hope you have some fun here.

  • This is the first time we're hiring senior interns, so some of our intern questions may not exactly fit your profile, but we're gonna go for it anyway, okay?

  • Fire away.

  • Okay, good.

  • Where'd you go to school?

  • I went to Northwestern.

  • Hey, my brother went to Northwestern.

  • Probably not the same time.

  • Probably not, he graduated in 2009.

  • Class of 65.

  • Wow, what was your major?

  • Do you remember?

  • And after Northwestern, you went on to?

  • I went to work for Dex One.

  • Okay, and they made?

  • Phone books.

  • I was in charge of overseeing the printing of the physical phone book.

  • I did that for over 20 years, and before that I was their VP of sales and advertising.

  • So, do they still make phone books?

  • I mean, doesn't everyone just Google numbers?

  • I believe they do, but before Google, that was how you got it.

  • Oh, no, no, yeah, I get it.

  • So, 40 years at the phone book company, that is amazing, seriously.

  • Okay, Benjamin, now I'm gonna ask you one of our more telling questions for all of our interns, so I want you to like, this is the one to really think about, okay, and take your time.

  • Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

  • When I'm 80.

  • Yeah, sure, yeah, whatever.

  • Wait.

  • I did not realize you were 70.

  • That's, that question just doesn't work for you, does it?

  • Should we just scratch that one and just move on?

  • It's your call, Justin.

  • Okay, that one's gone.

  • You look great, by the way, so great, and you're clearly more than qualified for this job.

  • You're actually, like, way overqualified, and we were so impressed.

  • You had great interviews, great video.

  • You nailed it, Ben, congrats.

  • You're an intern.
