听力原文：M: What about this post of Retail Manager we're going to advertise, Joan？ What ki

nd of person are we looking for？

W: Well, it's a job which requires a sense of responsibility and independence, since the person selected will'be running, at the start at any rate, will be running ten stores with about 100 staff.

M: And with the possibility of expanding to 15 stores and 150 staff.

W: Right. So there's plenty of scope for initiative and energy... and of course, hard work.

M: So at the moment we're looking for someone who's responsible, independent, dynamic, hardworking and has initiative...

W: That's it. But also someone who is able to deal with upwards of a 100 or a 150 staff.

M: So someone sensitive, tactful and articulate. Wait a minute, why does it have to be a man？

W: Sorry, he or she... Yes, OK, so this is very much a job requiring people skills, so I'd personally like to see someone who's had quite a lot of experience as a team leader.

M: OK. Now, this is a retail job-- and a pretty high-powered one at that-- so I guess we want someone with a certain amount of retail experience.

W: Absolutely, and not just a certain amount, either. Whoever we chose should have a substantial amount of experience in retailing.

M: Just a minute, what do you mean by "a substantial amount"？ Five, ten, 20 years？

W: Well, I think he-- sorry, he or she-- would have to be at least 30.

M: Yeah, OK. So we'll put in the advertisement "proven track record as a retail manager".
