Job Application

[Dworkin]

Hello!

The following sentence is found in a job application:

1. I am seeking a position as a social worker in an organisation where I can use my 33 years of experience in counselling and investigation, together with my experience in teaching frontline officers laws, sociology and criminology.

I was wondering whether the above could be recast as follows:

2. I am seeking a position as a social worker in an organisation where I can use my 33 years of experience in counselling and investigation, and in teaching frontline officers laws, sociology and criminology.

3. I am seeking a position as a social worker in an organisation where I can use my 33 years of experience in counselling, investigation, and teaching frontline officers laws, sociology and criminology.



Thank you very much.

Yes, I think 2 and 3 are both better then 1. Note that 'laws' should be 'law'. We use the singular form 'law' for describing the subject that is taught and the plural 'laws' for referring to particular laws.
