Dialogue No 1 (168 words)

Henry Brown and Janet Harvey are discussing the prob­lem of recruiting new staff by advertising.

HENRY: Good morning, Janet. It's Henry Brown. There is something I want to ask you about. Do you know how to approach the problem with this new Sales Manager post?

JANET: Well, yes, most companies recruit new staff by advertising in the press. Pages listing job advertisements are usually titled as "appointments". They must contain detailed descriptions or specifications on the type of peo­ple the advertiser is looking for such as their qualifica­tions (degrees, diplomas, certificates) which are obviously important, but as I am sure, you know, experience may count for much more.

HENRY: Oh, I see. As far as I can guess the aim is to attract a small number of well-qualified applicants, so that it is fairly easy to make a shortlist of the people you actually want to interview.

JANET: You've got it right. If the advertisement is not specif­ic enough, hundreds of people will send in their applica­tions; but if it demands too much, they may be discouraged.

HENRY: OK, now I know how to handle this problem. Thanks for your help. Good-bye.
