Um, everyone

needs you to sign off

-on tomorrow's homepage.

-Right.

And your 11:
00

is in the big conference room.

So is your 11:
10.

Finance needs you,

and I guess you e-mailed

a bunch of people

at 4:
00 a.m. about something?

Oh, good, I forgot about that.

I want to figure out

a way for friends

to shop together online.

Make it less

of an alone thing.

E-mail me that idea, will you?

Yeah, I like that.

Um, is now a good time

to call your mom back?

-Dude, I'm on a bike.

- Happy birthday!

Oh!

Oh, what a mess-

This is the middle

of the office. Don't do...

Don't put that--

-RECEPTIONISTZ Hello.

-Hi.

I'm Ben Whittaker.

I received an e-mail

about an interview

for the senior intern program.

Hey, Ben. How's it goin'?

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"?

Okay, you guys

have to remember;

the homepage

has to read in a glance.

Also, you have to get back

like this if you wanna see

what it looks like

if you're, like, over 35.

Okay, so I can't

read anything,

but if I could,

what do you want me to see?

"Five Girls, One Shirt"

or "Check Out The Fit"?

Well, both, but what I really

want you to see

is the shirt worn by

five different body types.

Okay, then you gotta

make me see that.

Try making

the photo grid bigger.

I love that five.

Can we make it more graphic?

Yeah, that's cool.

Maybe hero the girl

in the red shirt.

-Jules...

-That is a great red.

It is going to fly outta here.

I needed you to sign off

on this, like, two hours ago.

I know, I know,

but can you try?

Yep.

IVlia? Tell me that thing again.

Oh, 40% of our visitors

don't go past the homepage,

which isn't so bad.

Yeah, but we should fix that.

Okay, here you go.

I love it.

-Great, and it's up.

-Okay. Thanks, everybody.

Thank you.

Okay, so...

The Antoinette dress.

Major screw-up by the vendor.

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 are hiring senior interns,

so some of

our intern questions

may not exactly

fit your profile,

but we're gonna

go for it anwvay, okay?

Fire away.

Okay, good.

Where'd you go to school?

I went to Northwestern.

Hey, my brother

went to Northwestern.

Probably not at 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...
