Complete the gaps with one word only It (1) said that a great CV gets you an interview and a successful interview gets you an offer. In my case it was my friend Tom (2) got me the job. It was twenty years ago when I got made redundant and was in search of a job. (3) sooner had I mentioned it to Tom (4) he contacted me to give me details of a great job opportunity.
At first, I didn’t take it seriously. (5) when I had seen the company website, (6) I realise (7) a great position it was. It had been a while (8) I had a job interview so I did a lot of work to prepare. Even so, I was still very nervous on the day and (9) did I know what would be waiting for me when I got there.
My voice was shaking and my hands were sweaty throughout the interview, but it went well. I (10) get the job and twenty years on I am a senior manager working with a team of fifty people thanks to Tom. (11) always amazes me is the amount of effort he puts in to help others but yet he hardly realises how important his support is to his friends.
