How do you choose the preposition before the company name? I got an interview invitation FROM KPMG. I got an interview for the analyst position WITH KPMG. I am interested in the analyst position AT KPMG. I'm confused..

I got an interview invitation FROM KPMG. The invitation came from KPMG. I got an interview for the analyst position WITH KPMG. I got an interview for the analyst position AT KPMG. - both ok. The position is "at" this place, or with this company. I am interested in the analyst position AT KPMG. I am interested in the analyst position with KPMG. - same. You could also try "in"; as in "in the company".

Hi Shia, Invitations come from people or groups. Employee positions are usually at companies. Business partnerships or gigs are with companies — so the connotation is the arrangement is more temporary.

All of these prepositions are correct. To sound more formal I would say, "I received an interview from/with/at...", but otherwise, all of those are appropriate. I found these online: Use of At: It is used to indicate a place, price, date, specific time, dimension, milestone, profession. You can check some examples of At. Now, I am at New Jersey. I bought the phone at Verizon. He will be there at 10 o’clock. The car was running at ninety five miles per hour. Don’t laugh at the blind man. What is he at now? Use of with: We use the examples of with to understand things that go together. Element: Fill in the bag with Apple. Relationship: I always go to college with my friend. Hostility: Don’t quarrel with your familiar. Behavior: Always, I work with pleasure. Despite: With all your faults I still like you. Match of opinion: Alif didn’t agree with me. Using 'From' in a Sentence From is generally used to express that something originates from something else, that something comes from somewhere, or some person. For example: Jack comes from Portland. This formula derives from the work of Peter Schimmel. This pearl comes from the South Pacific.
