Riglos  +  178530 Tue, 03 Jan 06 03:57 PM Hi all! Imagine I'm writing an email to a friend, telling him about my seach for a job. How would you say the following? I applied for three jobs. The first one is in Microsoft. I applied for three jobs. The first one is with Microsoft. I applied for three jobs. The first one is at Microsoft. I applied for three jobs. The first one is for Microsoft. The email continues as follows. Is this paragraph correct? I think it is the most interesting, but the pay is the lowest. They need an architect for developing a new product. Thanks! Mara. Riglos Joined on Thu, Sep 15 2005 Full Member 169 Paragraphs

	pieanne  +  178541 Tue, 03 Jan 06 04:54 PM I like your version with "with" Microsoft. The paragraph sounds fine to me, but you'd better wait till you have a native's opinion. pieanne Joined on Thu, Jan 20 2005 South of France ...But I'm Belgian!

	pieanne  +  178577 Tue, 03 Jan 06 06:06 PM Thank you, Ikia. Anyway, you can't work "in" Microsoft, "at" would be difficult - they have so many offices -, and "with" , as you say, is better than "for" My uncertainty was related to the rest of the message. pieanne
