I am looking forward to finding a new job

I wanted an apple, but there was only a banana available.

Explanation:

First we have:

a) I am looking forward to finding a/the new job

We need to choose between "a" or "the", in english when we say "a" we are not talking about an specific item, whereas when we say "the" we are talking about a specific one. ("Bring me a book" would mean that I am asking you to bring me any book, while "Bring me the book" would mean that I am asking you to bring me a specific book, probably one that we have been talking about or is special for some reason)

In this example, the person doesn't have a job so he/she is most likely looking forward to find ANY job. Thus, the correct answer is "a": I am looking forward to finding a new job.

b) I wanted a/ an apple , but there was only a banana available.

The rule for choosing between "a" or "an" is whether the next word starts with a vowel or not. If the word starts with a vowel then we need to use "an" (an airplane)  if it starts with a consonant we need to use "a" (a banana).

In this case, the word is apple, it starts with a vowel, thus the correct answer is "an": I wanted an apple , but there was only a banana available.
