Hi,

If ABC Graduate Recruitment is the name of a graduate scheme, then

which of the following sentences are correct?


note:
there are more than 1 vacancy


I am interested in the ABC Graduate Recruitment Vacancies
I am interested in the ABC Graduate Recruitment vacancies
I am interested in the ABC Graduate Recruitment Vacancy
I am interested in the ABC Graduate Recruitment vacancy

 

The capital V is incorrect, because the word 'vacancy' is not part of the name of the scheme.

 

For both of the other sentences, you need a context, because the definite article 'the' suggests that the listener is already aware of what you are talking about. In other words, you can't just walk into a room full of strangers and say any of these things.

So, what's your context? What has been said earlier in the conversation?

There are no conversation


I just know that the company will hire 6 graduates this year.

Those 6 graduates will have the same training.

In the ABC Graduate Recruitment.




So, I am interested in any of those 6 vacanies.

But they will not offer me more than 1 vacancy.


thanks

Hi,

If you are writing to the company, say

 

I am interested in / I would like to apply for one of your vacancies.

 

Best wishes, Clive
