Catharine Cellier-Smart Dec 11, 2009:
I think Anne used a "faux ami" and said "post" as in French "poste" or job position. When I read it the first time I understood she was referring to jobs anyway.
writeaway Dec 11, 2009:
salesman/woman? Hi-is there a particular reason why commercial is being translated as salesman/woman? Is this in a list of employees/jobs?

bulk+palette sales executive

I prefer sales executive to salesperson. Without knowing the job description I'd hazard a guess that it suits better. For me salesperson is more the sort of person that sells something to you in a shop, whereas here it's more likely to be someone out on the road looking for new customers for the company.
Note from asker:
Thanks that sounds a lot better!
