On-line job posting is reserved for official, legitimate employers representing formal businesses and organizations.

 

Employers are asked to submit their job announcements via e-mail by using the link provided on this site. The job announcement should be written according to the guidelines provided on this site. The text of the job announcement may be submitted in MS Word or PDF (converted not scanned) format as an attached document. Or it may be included within the body of the e-mail.

JOB POSTING TIPS


An effective job announcement presents the relevant information in a brief, clear, organized, and understandable
manner. Additionally, it is uses language that is promotional so as to attract good candidates. The typical job
announcement usually contains the following components:


Name of Company: To avoid posting a “blind” ad, it is necessary that the name of the company be clearly
disclosed. The company’s name may be accompanied by such details as a DBA (Doing Business As) or an
AKA (Also Known As) notation, location or address (City and State), and website address.
 

Job Title: The title of the position should be clearly stated. For better response, the job title should be
descriptive rather than generic. An additional notation might indicate whether the position is fulltime, part time, temporary, or an internship.
 

Job Description: The duties and responsibilities of the position should be summarized. An organized overview
of the job functions should be itemized and concise but not detailed. The description should state typical tasks
and expectations and generally describe what the candidate will be doing on the job.
 

Qualifications: The job qualifications and technical requirements of the position should be itemized in a
concise manner, including such factors or prerequisites as education, experience, skills, proficiency, and
personal traits.
 

Education: Degree, academic major, coursework, training, grade point average.
 

Experience: Type of previous work, type of previous work setting, previous activities, length of service.
 

Work-related skills: Business, managerial, administrative, financial, sales, organizational, interpersonal.
 

Technical proficiencies: Computer skills, language skills, engineering skills.
 

Personal traits: Self-motivated, responsible, mature, outgoing, quick learner, team player, ambitious.
 

Key words: It might be necessary to state qualifications in terms of the sought skill level or extent of
experience by using descriptive verbiage (required, mandatory, desired, a plus, familiarity with, proficiency
with, extensive, thorough, strong, excellent).
 

Optional Notes: It may be necessary to include a note regarding citizenship requirements. To enhance the
attractiveness of the announcement, an ad may include a brief description of the company and references to the
training schedule, advancement potential, salary, and benefits.
 

Contact Information: All ads should include the name of the person to contact for more information. Contact
data may include mailing address, telephone number, and/or e-mail address.
 

Inclusive language: Job announcements should not include any discriminatory language. It is inappropriate, unethical, and in many cases illegal, to solicit candidates based on features such as race, gender, sex, nationality, ethnicity, age, orientation, identity, religion, or political affiliation.
