Listening Exercises A1-C1

Maria: OK. Thanks. That’s all really clear. And my other question is how performance in this role will be measured. What does success look like?
Interviewer: That’s a good question. As you know, we have a performance management system in place, and from that we have identified some learning and development needs within the organisation. But we haven’t devised a strategy. Your role would be to devise and then successfully implement this strategy.
Maria: Thank you. That sounds interesting.
Interviewer: Great. So, thanks again for coming in today. We’ll be discussing all candidates next week and then I’ll get back to you by the end of next week to let you know the outcome.
Maria: Thank you for your time. I’d welcome the opportunity to continue discussing this role with you.
