What's mean by "you have got the job"?
Hi, I had a short test today when I was at a job interview.
There is one question that includes two small questions:
The First small question is to analyse a business's cost throughout the past year based on the information that is given.-----I answered this question easily.
The second small question is: write a note to remind yourself that you got the job?---the purpose of this question is to test your writing skills, and I presume " the job" refers to the analysis did in question one. but i am not sure what exactly the question ask for? What should I have written?
Thanks a lot!

It doesn't make much sense to me. "you got the job" sounds as if it means you were given the job that you interviewed for. But, assuming that happened, why would you ever want to write a note to remind yourself?

I think it was several tests together:
1) Your writing skills.
2) How you deal with ambiguity.
3) How enthusiastic you are about getting the job you came to interview for.

write a note to remind yourself that you got the job
I'd just write 'I got the job'.
Are you sure it was not eg write a note to remind yourself why you got the job ?

Emma714the job is referred to the analysis did in the first sub question.I don't see how "job" in "got the job" can refer to that. "got the job" is only ever used in relation to obtaining work or employment. ... Unless you are supposed to visualise that you are working as a business analyst, and the first question is a real-life commission rather than
