Stick to your outline:

An outline is a great place to start and will ensure that you have a complete description of the opportunity. If you’d like more details on what you should provide in each section listed below, take a look at our 5 Steps to your 5-Star Job Ad article.

  • Job title (your headline)
  • Marketing summary (your pitch)
  • Responsibilities (the opportunity)
  • Requirements/Preferences (the must/nice-to-haves)
  • Benefits (what’s in it for me)
  • Call to action (the transaction)

Before you post:
