My ideal job is within the civil service sector utilizing the knowledge and skills of my post-secondary education. Most civil service positions offer excellent employee benefits, a great pay rate, and pleasant working conditions. Upon college graduation, I will have the education required; therefore, the opportunity to interview for these positions. Many of such positions are within the pay range I desire, starting at $40,000 per year as initial salary. They also offer personal time off (PTO) and paid holidays, as these are important incentives to me. Accrued vacation time and health, vision, and dental insurance are offered to most civil service employees. All of these are fantastic benefits that I desire, and are typically approved by the company’s CEO.
A CEO who believes that “knowledge is power” is a great asset to any company. This style of management normally promotes from within; illustrating the company’s belief in its employees. They foster hope for eager employees who wish to climb the corporate ladder. Annual company picnics, Christmas parties, holiday gift certificates, and holiday bonuses are just a few of the little things that truly make a big difference. It is a fact that happy employees are also more productive employees. All of these benefits would definitely motivate me to be the ideal employee!



can you give me corrections, please? thanks teachers!!!

Should be "Many such positions".

illustrating the company’s belief in its employees. They foster hope for eager employees who wish

"They" should refer to the last preceding noun. In this case it is "employees". So you have written: "illustrating the company’s belief in its employees. The employees foster hope for eager employees who wish.."

It doesn't make sense so you should replace "They" with whatever you are referring to.

Thank you so much! Here is how I originally had the sentence - can I just change it back to this? Is this grammatically correct? Thanks again!!!

This style of management normally promotes from within; illustrating the company’s confidence in its employees and fosters hope for eager employees who wish to climb the corporate ladder.

No, it should be the participle in both cases:
"This style of management normally promotes from within; illustratING the company’s confidence in its employees and fosterING hope for eager employees who wish to climb the corporate ladder."

Unfortunately, I don't know the technical terms. My mummy didn't teach me those. ;-)
Is it correct to say "Mummy" instead of "My mummy"?

Thank you

It certainly is. :-D

The possessive pronoun is implied because I'm unlikely to be discussing someone else's Mummy.
