Practice Test 8

Passage 1:

To: All staff
From: Management
Date: May 22

Subject: Volunteers needed for job fairs

Calling for volunteers! As the holiday season is coming up, the Magnolia Hotel and Spa is planning to hold three job fairs to recruit more staff, and we need help from our staff members in the food & beverage, maintenance, and guest relations departments. Participants will have an opportunity to greet potential applicants and answer their questions concerning the positions.
All three job fairs will be held in the hotel conference center. The schedule is as follows:

June 11      9:00 A.M. ~ 3:00 P.M.
June 19      8:00 A.M. ~ 2:00 P.M.
June 24      7:00 A.M. ~ 1:00 P.M.

Staff members who volunteer in two or more of job fairs will be awarded one of the following incentives: a paid vacation day, a $50 cash bonus, or a $100 gift certificate for the hotel spa.
If you are interested, please send an e-mail to Emma Markus with your name, department, date(s) to participate, and if applicable, the incentive of your choice.

Passage 2:

Subject: Re: Job fairs
Date: May 23

Emma,

Thank you for your e-mail. I would like to volunteer at the job fairs as a representative of the guest relations department on June 19 and 24. I will not be able to participate on the first day of the job fair because I will be away from work that day. I’m talking with Karen Abrams in my department, and I think she is interested in participating in the job fair on May 24 as well. She’ll probably contact you herself to talk about it.

I’d like to volunteer for the event because it is very helpful to me last year before I started working at this hotel. I could acquire a lot of information about this spa and the position I was interested in, and the representatives were very friendly. Thus, I believe I will be able to do a good job answering questions from potential applicants.

As for the incentive, I would like to receive the certificate for the hotel spa.

I look forward to the job fairs. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Sue Kowaski
