“I saw on The Muse that you were also hiring for new positions on the West Coast to support your new operations there. I did some more reading about the new data center you’re building there and that excites me as I know this means there’ll be opportunities to train new teammates. I also learned through a Wall Street Journal article that you’re expanding in Mexico as well. I speak Spanish fluently and would be eager to step up and help liaise whenever necessary.”

In order to cover all groups of ages for fun and education, the table topics are categorized into the 3 groups – the ‘educational’ subjets, the ‘general’ subjects, and the ‘professional’ subjects.  The educational topics are intended to provide with learning experience a age group under education who can be from infants to college students; the general topics to provide with fun experience all age groups to promote social interaction between people; and the professional topics to provide with in-depth knowledge of a particual field a group of intellectuals to have rich conversation for fun or learing or brain stimulation.  Each topic of a subject is further developed into the 3 levels of difficulties to aim at a particual group within a subject category.  Level 1 is composed of easy and basic subjects; Level 2 of common and popular subjects; and Level 3 of challenging and unfamiliar subjects.
