1- "...if you decide to take me FOR the job, I promise I will work hard..." This one is correct.
2. "...your advertisement says that the job might suit someone that needs to improve their English. This is correct.

I thought so, thanks a lot!

I was wondering... "to take someone on". Is there a meaning to it? or is it just slang?
I recall hearing in films the phrase "I'll take you on that" meaning "I will consider it a promise". But searching the web I came up with nothing.

or as an alternative, can you say:

"if you decide to take me on, I promise..."

Yes, you can say "if you take me on" to mean "if you give me the job".
