Thanks.    Angliholic Joined on Wed, Feb 14 2007 SomewhereinFormosa Senior Member (4,978) Without true love, life is meaningless and worthless since our physical world is nothing but a dream. ~~Angliholic~~簡瑞達

No.  A job interview is not a situation where one receives grades.  Here aced simply means did exceptionally well in.

Hence, after the interview, friends ask - "Did you get the job" not "Did you get a job?"  The company offered her a/the job.  IMO both work here     optilang Joined on Tue, May 13 2008 Poland Senior Member (2,108) OptiNative British English Speaker Wherever I may roam, I'm still a Londoner.
