Materi about Job Vacancy and Application Letter

 

Make a Job Vacancy

 

1. Start with a job title that clearly describes the job position to attract reader’s attention. Include the required experience level within the title so job seekers can easily determine whether they may qualify.
2. Describe the company briefly. Include approximate number of employees, type of product or service you supply, number of years in business and office locations. Use exciting descriptions to briefly describe why a job applicant would want to work. For example, use phrases such as “young, dynamic company, “cutting edge of technology” or “warm work atmosphere.”
3. Write a detailed job description. Describe specific job responsibilities and how the job fits in with the framework of the company. For example, write “create graphical website templates for our new magazine website.” Explain whether the job entails management tasks, financial budgeting or direct contact with external clients.
4. Include the job location so that job seekers who live too far to commute will not apply. Describe the job as “work at home” if the job does not take place in an office setting.
5. Include required job hours. Specify job hours, if specific job hours are required. If not, write “full time”, “part time” or “flexible job hours” to give applicants a general idea of expectations.
6. Include general salary range. If you plan on paying average salary but do not want to include actual salary, write “competitive salary and benefits.” If you will pay a low salary, list the salary in the ad so that overqualified applicants do not apply.
7. Write qualification requirements including education and specific skills. Write years plus type of experience required, such as, “minimum five years experience as a senior manager for a high-tech company.”
8. End the job advertisement explaining how to apply for the job. In most cases, ask applicants to send a resume or CV. Give contact details of where to send the resume, such as email address or fax number. List other application requirements, if any. For example, ask for writing samples for a writing job or sample photographs for a photography job.
