I think I'd apply for the position of guy who's super interested in something that's only interesting cause it's gsmeplay relevant. I'd stand by a river staring at it day and night and when the protagonist talks to me I'd say "I'd bet I could use a boat to cross this river."
I'd be the rando that keeps track of the player's records despite having no means of obtaining that information. "Wow hero you've taken 53,211 steps so far and have collected 76/80 recipes!"
Ooh this is a really good one.
