Hi Benoit

IBIX is a great company to work for. You 1______work flexible hours and you 2______arrive at the office at 9.00 a.m. every morning. Sometimes you 3______work at the weekend, but I think that’s the same in a lot of companies. You 4______take holidays when it’s really busy, but that’s not a problem. The good thing is that you 5______travel with the company and visit offices in other countries. In fact, I think you 6______do that, because it’s really interesting. Also, we 7______wear formal clothing all the time, only for meetings with other companies.

I think you 8______apply for the job here – the pay is great and everyone is friendly.

Good luck and all the best,
