Notice: Spring job fair

To: All students and graduates
From: Skyler, Career Services
Subject: Spring job fair on April 24

Our spring job fair will be held on Thursday, April 24, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the main hall. More than twenty local employers will be there, including a hospital, two hotels, an auto parts store, several building contractors and the county parks department. Many of them are hiring right away, and some will hold short interviews on the spot.

Before the fair, please update your résumé and print at least five copies. Anyone needs help with a résumé can meet with a career coach in Room 12 any weekday afternoon this month. The coaches can also help you practice answering interview questions.

On the day of the fair, dress as you would for an interview, and bring a pen and a folder for the papers you collect. Free coffee and snacks will be served in the lobby.

We hope to see you there. Good luck!

How to approach this kind of question

Pronoun questions ask you to choose the right form of a word that stands for a person or a thing. Read the whole sentence and find what the pronoun refers to: a person or a thing. Then decide its job in its part of the sentence: does it do an action, receive an action, or show ownership? Choose the form that fits both what it refers to and its job.
