Apply For a Job at a Ryujin Industries Kiosk

First, you must interact with any Ryujin Industries Kiosk and apply for a job. The quest marker will lead you to one in New Atlantis. Do the interview, and don't worry about the answers, as you'll get the job anyway.

Complete Your Interview

Imogene will remember the answers you've given from the Kiosk test. Feel free to reply to her however you like, as you'll get the job regardless.

Pick up Coffee at Terrabrew

Deal with Tomo

During the order, the ex-employee who had your position will show up and claim that you'll be sent to kill him soon enough. You can use Persuasion to resolve things or kill him right there peacefully. The method used won't change the outcome of your job application.
