They seem to look after you well — for example, I was told to send in a claims form so that they could pay (6) ... my travel expenses to the interview. Little things like that make all (7) ... difference. So I'm actually starting work on Monday David, why don't you apply? They take (8) ... 20 new graduates each year. It would be right up your street.

Apparently, they were impressed with my ambition, especially when I said I was looking for the job (4) ... good promotion prospects, and (5) ... week later I was offered the job. They seem to look after you well — for example, I was told to send in a claims form so that they could pay (6) ... my travel expenses to the interview. Little things like that make all (7) ... difference. So I'm actually starting work on Monday David, why don't you apply? They take (8) ... 20 new graduates each year.
