And happy Monday! Today\u00a0we&#8217;re talking to Amrita, our Office and Operations Manager. Aside from all the hard work she does on the hiring end, she&#8217;s also in charge of keeping our happiness-levels high by\u00a0scheduling stoke-filled\u00a0team outings and making sure we&#8217;re using all our fun stipends\u00a0in <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/blog\/going-beyond-foosball-startup-perks-with-meaning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">meaningful ways<\/a>! \ud83d\ude42\n<\/p>\n<p>\nYou can tell she&#8217;s\u00a0awesome at her job because you&#8217;d have to try <em>pretty<\/em> hard to get our team to stop smiling. (You&#8217;d have to like &#8230;.jump into our office dressed as a terrifying clown or something. Please don&#8217;t.)\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFor more\u00a0info about Amrita and the rest of our team, visit\u00a0our <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">About page<\/a>!\n<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--> <\/p>\n<p>\nAnd now, the moment you&#8217;ve all been waiting for, the Q&amp;A!\n<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>1. Hey Amrita, how was your weekend?<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIt was very relaxing. \ud83d\ude42 I went up to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/indian-rock-park-berkeley\">Indian Rock<\/a>\u00a0for the first time, binge watched several Netflix documentaries, and did some seemingly never-ending loads of laundry.\n<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>2. If you had to be trapped in a video game for 24 hours, which one would it be?<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIf I was trapped in a video game&#8230; hmm&#8230;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Harvest_Moon_(video_game)\">Harvest Moon<\/a>? Because everyone is nice and happy and you don&#8217;t have to fight anyone.\n<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/37.media.tumblr.com\/tumblr_m8wtnxlu681re1bb0o1_500.gif\" width=\"300\" height=\"173\" class \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The happy world of Harvest Moon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\nOr <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Civilization_(video_game)\" title=\"Civilization\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Civilization<\/a>. It would be so ridiculously cool to actually be able to witness some of the greatest developments of all time and meet some of the history&#8217;s most famous leaders!\n<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>3. What&#8217;s your favorite TV show and which character would you be on the show?<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nEasiest question. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Don&#8217;t knock it till you watch all of it. Joss Whedon is amazing. Also, I would be Willow Rosenburg (played by Alyson Hannigan). She is the nicest person ever, happens to be really badass, and uses her smarts to defeat evil.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>4. If you had to be trapped on an island with one celebrity, who would it be and why?<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nHmm. Maybe Tom Hanks?\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/Bek8HhJ.gif\" width=\"320\" height=\"180\" class=\"alignnone\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI&#8217;d hope after acting in Castaway that he might have developed some survival skills. Or maybe anyone from Robinson Crusoe or Gilligan&#8217;s Island. Basically, I&#8217;d really like to not die on this island.\n<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>5. What&#8217;s your favorite part about working at Magoosh?<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe people! I love how seriously awesome my coworkers are. They pick me up when I&#8217;m down, make me laugh, and motivate me!
