CAE writing. Letter yo a friend

I would really appreciate if someone could proofread this.

Informal letter (letter to a friend)
Last summer you had a job with an international company that organizes music festivals. Your friend Han has written to you asking about it.
Read the extract from your friend’s letter and from your diary below. Then, using the information appropriately, write a letter to your friend saying whether or not you would recommend the job to your friend and giving your reasons.

Do you think I’d like the job? Most of all I want to hear plenty of music. I’d like to make enough money for a holiday too. If I could use my English and get useful work experience, that would be great!
Cheers,
Jan

Boring office work! No chance to learn anything. I answer the phone and make coffee.

Dear Jan,
Thanks for your letter; it was great hearing from you again. It’s been such a long time since we wrote each other. You asked me about my last summer job so here I send you the information you wanted.
I think that working with an international company organizing music festivals is a great way to spend your summer and it will definitely give you a really good experience if in the future, you want to have a job in the music industry.
I have to tell you that firstly the job is not as rewarding as it seems. The first days the only thing I did was sitting behind a desk of a small office while answering phone calls and trying to solve people’s doubts. Maybe the most interesting thing I did those days was making coffee for all my bosses. But don’t feel stressed because when I was thinking about quitting everything got so much exciting and fun, plus July 10th they paid me a good amount of money, which made me feel motivated.
Once they see you are a responsible person and a hard worker they start giving you some important tasks like dealing with enquiries from English visitors or even doing some translations, giving you the opportunity of using your language skills and helping you to improve your English.
One of my favorite things about working for this company was the fact that they gave the chance of going to some of the most important music festivals, so if you enjoy listening to music, which I know you do, you will have a great time with this job.
I hope you find this information useful. I look forward to hearing from you again.
Best wishes,
Elisa
