I've a similar question concern the Dutch Language, but I couldn't find any dutch forum which actually discusses the Dutch language (with actual quite a lot members), so I thought let's ask her.  Yesterday I was asked I worked for &lt; company name > or at &lt; company name > . But what's the difference? Is it really that for a company means you can be hired to do something, and working at a company it really means you are working at and for that specific company?  So let's say I'm a freelancer and I'm hired to work for Facebook, so I am actually working for facebook. But if you have a contract at Facebook and they pay your montly salary and so on, you are actual working at Facebook. Is this correct?  And can somebody tell me the same rule counts for dutch as well?

You are not hired because you are qualified.   I think this means you are hired but it is not because you are qualified. But I think this can  also means you are not hired, and the reason for it is that you are qualified.   Does this ambiguity really exist or do I mistake anything?

The prepositions “with”, “at” and “for” are also used to associate a business title with a company's name. It seems that they are interchangeable, with no (significant) difference in meaning. The following examples taken from The New York Times website seem to confirm that:      Until now, said Justin Nielson, a senior analyst for the media   research firm SNL Kagan, “there really hasn't been any direct   competitor . . .      “The consumer is still deleveraging,” said Jason Goldberg, a senior   analyst with Barclays. “It's not a lack of supply; it's a lack of   demand.”      “There’s the party of fear and the party of despair,” Nikos Xydakis, a   political analyst and an editor at Kathimerini daily, said.   Are they really the same as for meaning? If it isn't so, what is the difference between them?

Is it correct to use "at" followed by a place name (city, town, village, etc.)? I've been seeing phrases like "a hotel at Las Vegas" or "she was living at London" quite a lot recently. Is this a difference between British and US English, perhaps?

I saw some scenarios that used the structure "to + V-ing", such as the following:   Looking forward to hearing. Disposed to using few words. I would like to apply what I learned in school to helping make more money. This is the closest we have come to winning the league.   When can I use this structure? I'm confused about that.

In facebook, in the photos page, you will see:    I know the difference in facebook, the first tag "Photos of Someone" will show photos you are tagged in, the other tag "Someone's Photos" will show the photos you uploaded.   Is there a difference in English between "Someone's Photos" and "Photos of Someone"? or was facebook out of words so they just used this?

Mark was/is the founder of Facebook?  If Mark is going to an Invester (when Facebook was just made by him), then how would he introduce himself?      Sir, I am Mark. I am/was the founder of Facebook.   I am confused about the usage of was/is for something that is still true. Here is another example:      My father was/is the architect of this house.   Which one should I use?

I wrote:     An open -source and -society loving person   and had this corrected by a native English speaker to      An open-source-and-society loving person   Which to me changes the meaning of the phrase. The first one is meant to be short-hand for prefixing both "source" and "society" with "open", while the second one does not seem to connect "society" with "open".  Is either of the forms more correct than the other? Should it be written differently all together?

First of all, English is not my first language. I have a question, maybe a basic one, about this phrase:     The situation highlights the mismatch between some areas of training and available jobs to/for them.   Should it be "available jobs to them" or "available jobs for them"?  Sorry if the question is really basic.

I am preparing to submit a paper with a friend who is working at a tech company.  The company that he is working with is in no way associated with our research work.  Is it appropriate to list his employer as his affiliated institution?  Otherwise, I would leave his affiliated institution field blank.  Or, should I list the institution where he graduated from 2 years ago?  Update: Thank you very much for all of your feedback, answers, comments, and suggestions.  We really appreciate it.  I discussed with my collaborator and we will likely be listing him as an "Independent Researcher".  Although, we concluded that it wouldn't be unreasonable to list his employer purely as a personal affiliation (or point of contact) as long as he got approval from their HR department.
