Make the shortlist !!!
Eva Victoria's done ever so well, hasn't she ?
Loretta Yes, to make the shortlist for a manager's job in our biggest bank is a real achievement.
Eva When's the interview ?
Loretta Next week. She told me that it's not just an interview, but a whole day with tests and exercises as well.
Eva Sounds really tough. Rather her than me.
Loretta Yes, but she's very capable and pretty resilient, so I think she'll do well.
Explanation :
 
If someone is on a shortlist, for example for a job or a prize, they are one of a small group of people who have been chosen from a larger group. The successful person is then chosen from the small group.
 
Example :  If you've been asked for an interview you are probably on a shortlist of no more than six.

All messed up

You'll see the light

Have a one-track mind

Put you out

Get decked out

Keep up with

I'm beat

Get a load of that

Brain freeze

When it comes to haggling

It seems to be catching on

I'm up for that

I'll pass
