1. I have a job interview this Monday for the position of a temporary interpreter.


Is that grammatically correct?

2.


Do you plan to go anywhere else three years from now?
Do you plan to go anywhere else three years later?
Do you plan to go anywhere else in three years?

Do they all mean the same thing?

Thanks to you all out there.

1. "I have a job interview this Monday for the position of a temporary interpreter." I think it's grammatically correct, all right, but a more natural expression would be, "I have a job interview this Monday for a position as temporary interpreter."

2. "Do you plan to go anywhere else three years from now?" This means the same as, "Do you plan to go anywhere else in three years?"

However, "Do you plan to go anywhere else three years later?" would only make sense if it is part of a conversation where some time is mentioned as the anchor for "later." Maybe you were talking about when the other person is planning on graduating, or getting married, or buying a house. Then you ask whether the person is planning on going anywhere three years later than that date.
