× I really might like my job.
✓ I really like my job.
The modal verb 'might' is incorrectly used here to express liking the job. 'Might' indicates possibility or uncertainty, but the speaker intends to express a definite liking. Therefore, 'might' should be removed to correctly convey the meaning.
× I work in an IT based company.
✓ I work in an IT-based company.
The phrase 'IT based' should be hyphenated as 'IT-based' because it is a compound adjective describing the company. Hyphenation clarifies that the company is based on IT.
× I'm leader of a little team which has two members and my responsibilities are supporting customers, take care of them and doing our best to increase their satisfaction.
✓ I'm the leader of a small team which has two members, and my responsibilities are supporting customers, taking care of them, and doing our best to increase their satisfaction.
The definite article 'the' is needed before 'leader' to specify the position. 'Little' is better replaced with 'small' when referring to team size. Also, parallel structure requires gerunds ('taking care', 'doing') to match 'supporting' in the list of responsibilities.
× We have supportive manager, kind colleagues and all team members are friendly and we all, uh, work together to do our job and responsibilities.
✓ We have a supportive manager, kind colleagues, and all team members are friendly, and we all work together to do our jobs and fulfill our responsibilities.
The singular countable noun 'manager' requires the indefinite article 'a'. Also, 'job' and 'responsibilities' should be plural to match the plural subject 'we'. Added commas improve sentence clarity.
× And uh, there are a lot of uh, nice facilities such as free parking and little stores.
✓ And, uh, there are a lot of nice facilities such as free parking and small stores.
'Little' is generally used with uncountable nouns to indicate small amount, but 'stores' is countable, so 'small' is the correct adjective to describe size.
× Yes, I really like it. As I mentioned before, there are a lot of nice colleagues, supportive manager and a myriad of facilities such as free parking, self-service for lunch, little stores for buying something.
✓ Yes, I really like it. As I mentioned before, there are a lot of nice colleagues, a supportive manager, and a myriad of facilities such as free parking, self-service for lunch, and small stores for buying things.
The singular countable noun 'manager' requires the indefinite article 'a'. 'Little' should be replaced with 'small' to describe 'stores'. Also, 'something' is vague; 'things' is more appropriate here. Added 'and' before the last item in the list for correct conjunction.
× I want to stay in my job because I like it and I try to improve my skills, improve my abilities and I plan to go to some classes, some online classes and watching that courses.
✓ I want to stay in my job because I like it, and I try to improve my skills and abilities. I plan to go to some classes, some online classes, and watch those courses.
After 'plan to', the base form of the verb should be used ('watch'), not the '-ing' form ('watching'). Also, 'that courses' is incorrect; it should be 'those courses' to agree in number and demonstrative pronoun usage. Added commas and conjunctions for clarity and correct sentence structure.
