[General] on which I appreciate you arranging it

[Economist2010]

"I got it that the next step is having an HR interview on which I appreciate you arranging it."

I am sending an e-mail to the HR specialist that the hiring manager said she will arrange an HR interview for me. Can I say the above?

Note: I want to use "on which".

See above. You can't use "on which" anywhere in your sentences.

Thanks emsr2d2.

Just wanted to double check "appreciate your having arranged" is equal "to arrange the HR interview".

If you thank her for having arranged it, that means she's done it already. You probably can't be sure of that.

Just say, "Thank you for arranging it." That's correct whether she's done it yet or not. It's also more economical — important to an Economist!

 

[emsr2d2]

Good point. Has the interview already been arranged? If not, use something like "I'd like to thank you in advance for arranging the interview".

 

[Economist2010]

Thanks guys for your feedback.

The interview has not been arranged.

I would like you to explain the exact meaning of "which I appreciate your having arranged".

 

[emsr2d2]

If the interview had already been organised, in "which I appreciate your having arranged", "which" refers back to "the interview" and the rest is simply a statement of gratitude to the person who organised it.

If I would like to use it in the future, can I say it that way:
1-"Which I appreciate your arrangement."
2-"Which I appreciate your support in arranging it."

If it hasn't been arranged yet, then "having arranged" is exactly wrong. It means it has been arranged already, but it has not.

Say, "Thank you for arranging it."

1-"Which I appreciate your arrangement."

No. It's ungrammatical and does not make sense.

2-"Which I appreciate your support in arranging it."

No. It's ungrammatical and does not make sense.

You could say: "I appreciate your arranging it."

But that's wordier than it needs to be. And as I've mentioned in other posts, wordiness is bad in a business letter. it makes a bad impression.

When a sentence starts with Which, it's usually a question: Which bagel did you eat?

Say, "Thank you for arranging it."

If you want to use it in the middle of a sentence, you need something like "Thank you for letting me know about the interview, which I will be delighted to attend on Thursday 11 February at 9.30am".

I have a few questions for you, Economist2010:

1) Are you studying English privately? My reason for asking this is that I'm not sure you're actually learning anything here. You give us random sentences, we correct them, and you send them off to prospective employers. But ... are you LEARNING?
2) You seem to be in contact with several different companies and all your correspondence is in English. Why is that?
3) On the same note, are you going to need to speak English at work once one of them finally employs you?

I asked question 3 a while back, along with: And will he want us to correct all his writing once he lands a job?

He said (a) he'll cross that bridge when he comes to it, and (b) no, he won't ask us to help him.

Nothing ventured, but I foresee a rude awakening. Or as I like to say: The reality check is in the mail.

Anyhow, let's see his answers to your questions.

I'm curious to know what language the interview is going to be conducted in. I would expect that to be the same language that will be used on the job.

I am studying English myself. I am here to learn business English which I see myself don't have an excellent command in.

In most companies, English is commonly used in correspondence and a little bit with employees especially international staff.

I am studying English by myself. I am here to learn business English, which I am not very good at yet.

Please note the changes, and take note of what you need to work on.

You seem to have taught yourself quite a few words. However, using those words appropriately can be a problem.

Your goal should be, in my opinion, to see fewer and fewer corrections as time goes on. (Not because we have given up on correcting your mistakes, but because you are making fewer mistakes.)
