Dear Ms Zink,
Thank you for your enquiry about job vacancies. We are a small company and employ just six people on a full-time basis. However, we always take on extra staff during our busy summer months and so we are hiring at the moment. If you

we can arrange a time to interview you.
Yours sincerely,
Manfred Seltzer
津克女士，您好!
感谢您对我们的招聘感兴趣。我们是一家小公司，全职员工只有六人。然而，每到繁忙的夏季总会招些临时工，因此我们现在聘人。如果你愿意申请这样的临时职位，请给我打电话，这样我们好安排时间面试。
祝
商祺!
