Bruno asks Trey if he can understand what he is saying, to which Trey replies "I read you loud and clear". This is not a reference to Trey actually "reading" something. It is a phrase which derives from radio code used by the military to scale the quality of a radio transmission. This expression is used to indicate that something is understood, or very clear.
Bruno says "the most important thing about customer service is maintaining a solid relationship with our clients". He then reinforces this by asking Trey to repeat the Customer Service motto, "the customer is always right". This means that he wants the relationship between the Delavigne Corporation and its clients to stay strong.
Bruno says "Even as we try to improve sales and reach new markets, our customer base must remain both loyal and satisfied." To "reach" new markets means to "gain access" to new markets and sell to new customers. Bruno wants to attract future clients (=he is concerned about future clients) without forgetting Delavigne's existing clients.
Bruno says he needs someone who can "wear several hats". This actually means that he needs someone that can carry out a range of different roles. It does not literally mean that Bruno wants Trey to wear many hats. It would make it rather difficult to answer all those phones if he wore hats all the time
Bruno says "we need someone who can multi-task". To "multi-task" means to carry out "multiple" or "many" tasks at the same time.

1 fast-paced: This is the correct choice. A "fast-paced" job is a job where things happen quickly. In this text, the narrator says he had to "work very quickly". In Brian's cover letter, he writes that he is looking for a "fast-paced" job.
2 array: This is the correct choice. An "array" refers to a "variety" of something. In this text, the narrator had to perform a wide variety of tasks, "from making posters to cleaning the tomatoes off the stage every morning". Other examples: "an array of choices", "an array of chocolates".
3 multi-tasking: This is the correct choice. "Multi-tasking" refers to the ability to work on several tasks at once. In this text, the narrator says he "had to do all these things all at once", or complete multiple tasks at the same time. In this exercise, the narrator says that his tasks included making posters and cleaning the tomatoes off the stage every morning. In his cover letter, Brian writes that he is looking for a job in a "multi-tasking" environment.
4 meeting deadlines: This is the correct choice. "To meet a deadline" is to complete a task in a determined amount of time. For example, "I met the April deadline for paying my taxes". In this exercise, the narrator says he had difficulty getting things done on time and "meeting deadlines". In his cover letter, Brian writes that he has a facility for "meeting deadlines".
5 reference: This is the correct choice. A "reference" in this context refers a former employer or contact who can recommend a person as a candidate for a new job. The narrator says he is using his former boss at the comedy club as a reference when he applies to new jobs.

Bruno describes Brian as "hard-working and multi-tasking". A "multi-tasking" person is one who can perform many different jobs competently.
can perform many different jobs competently: This is correct. The expression "multi-tasking" suggests someone capable of efficiently filling a number of different professional roles. Example: "WANTED: multi-tasking office manager to answer phone, deal with clients, keep accounts, walk the dog and make coffee for the boss. Fluent Greek and Chinese an advantage."
works hard: This is not correct. While multi-tasking personnel often work hard, the expression "multi-tasking" means someone capable of doing many things at once.
talks a lot while working: This is not correct. The expression "multi-tasking" suggests someone capable of doing many things at once. It is unlikely that such a busy person would have much time for talking!
has difficulty concentrating: This is not correct. The expression "multi-tasking" suggests someone capable of doing many things at once. Someone who has difficulty concentrating can not focus on a specific task, and would be likely to make mistakes.

This is incorrect. Katy says "I see everyone is wearing sharp suits". The use of "sharp" is misleading here. A "sharp" object is one that cuts easily (it has a thin edge or a fine point). However in this example, a "sharp suit" is a nice suit (possibly well-cut or well-tailored). To "look sharp" is to look nice, handsome, well-dressed, etc.
This is the correct choice. Katy says she is "extremely efficient". An "efficient (worker)" is someone who is very productive, and who is able to work without unnecessary effort. Example: Brenda is more efficient than Charlie, she is able to finish her work in less time and with less effort wasted.
This is the correct choice. Katy says she is "a great multi-tasker". "Multi-tasking" refers to the ability to work on several tasks at once. Example: Women are generally good multi-taskers, men can only work on one task at a time. A "task" is a piece of work that is required to be done.
