Technique 2: The Art of Pretending

As we previously discussed, pretending is an art form. In this technique, we'll cover how to fake it till you make it. Technique 3: The Art of Overusing will be covered later, as it's a more advanced course.

Here are a few steps to help you master the art of pretending:

1. Act like a professional. Wear a tie, but not a tie with a name tag, that's just confusing.
2. Speak in buzzwords. 'Synergy', 'disrupt', and 'paradigm' are great words to start with.
3. Make eye contact, but only if someone else is making eye contact with you.
4. Take extensive notes. You can never have too many notes, but you can never have too many meetings.

And remember, the key to pretending is to be confident and convincing. Technique 1: The Art of Pretending covered the fundamentals, and now it's your turn to practice your skills.
