IELTS GENERAL Sample Task 1

You have been invited to attend a job interview. Write a letter to the HR manager requesting information about the position and the interview process.

GENERAL | TASK1

Dear Hiring Manager,

Good day!

I am Joshua, and I have been invited to attend a job interview by your company in an email dated April 26, 2024. I am truly grateful for this opportunity, and with this, I am writing to ask further about the position I will be interviewed for.

I originally applied for Project Manager, an entry-level position, which was posted on your company website. However, from the email that you sent me last week, it was indicated there that I would be interviewed for the position of Associate Manager, which I believe is already a mid-senior level position. Hence, I would like to clarify as to what position I am really being interviewed for.

Furthermore, I would like to ask the details about the interview process. I really would have wanted to know this to familiarize myself with the process and be able to prepare for it properly.

Once again, I am truly grateful for the opportunity you have given me. I apologize for any inconvenience this email might have caused. But, I am looking forward to a favorable response from you and to working with your company soon.

Thank you very much.

Respectfully Yours,

James Hazzard

Feedback:

The letter is well-organized and conveys the request clearly. However, it's a bit too long. You can achieve the same with a shorter, more concise style. Avoid repeating phrases like "I am truly grateful" and focus on the specific information you need.
