Writing a good job advert
A good job advertisement should:
- give enough information so that candidates can decide whether to apply – eg give the location, pay range, summary of role and length of contract
- state the skills and experience needed for the role
- not discriminate
- state if applicants should send a CV or complete an application form
- state a deadline for responses
