What makes a well-written employment advert?
An employment advert is written to advertise a job vacancy. In most cases it is not written by the employer. In most cases corporate companies use of agencies to shortlist and source suitable candidates.
A well written employment advert should supply you with the following information:
- Heading: attention grabbing - telling you the job title.
- Information: the next section will cover the aspects of the position (where the position is, what it is paying and whether it has perks or not).
- Detail: this is usually a summary of skill needed. More recently people have been putting duties in these sections - trying to show the person what it is they will be doing and/or what experience they need to get the job done.
- Attention: information on how to will always be included in the adverts.
You, as the prospective employee:
- Must want to do the job at hand.
- Must fall within the advertised salary bracket.
- Must have all the required experience as well as the desired qualifications.
- Will have to follow the instruction given by the agent/ employer on submission of your CV to qualify for the position.
