Question
How can I write a vacancy?
Answer
We advise you to break the job description down into three paragraphs:Paragraph 1; summarise the details of the position. Use the opening paragraph to grab the attention of the prospective candidate - it should make them want to read on. Keep it short, be as precise as possible, but ensure that there is enough information to gain the interest of the candidate.
Paragraph 2; state the skills and experience required. Remember to include variations of the skills required. Use words that the desired candidate is likely to search on. Where appropriate use:
the singular as well as the plural of key words
synonyms of key words
Paragraph 3; state details about the organisation, department or geographical location of the position.
