Is this sentence correct?
Last week, I went to Manchester for an interview. It was quite difficult and it lasted two hours. One of my friends had had an interview with the same company one month before and fortunately, he has (not had) been hired.Hi Pier Roberto,
Your writing is clear and your sentence structures are well understood. I changed "had" to "has". "Has been hired" is the present perfect tense in the passive form. It means that your friend was hired one month ago (past) and is still under the employment of the company. If your friend is no longer employed, then your use of "had been hired" is correct. I am not sure which is the case.
Cheers,
Lance
