1
Indicate how much education is needed for the position, but don't require a certain type of degree. Simply state that a degree is required to get well-educated people to apply.
-
2
List only the duties that are most important for the job. There's no need to clutter the ad with every task that is required. If the applicants are qualified to handle the essential duties, they'll be able to complete the secondary tasks.

3
Don't list a required experience level. Some people learn in one year what it takes others five years to grasp. Don't eliminate the perfect candidate because of an arbitrary number.
-
4
State the exact work hours and days that the job requires. If weekend or night work is required, indicate that. Some applicants may have child-care issues that prevent them from taking weekend jobs.
-
5
Don't use generic, meaningless terms like "attention to detail" or "good verbal skills." These mean different things to different people, and you'll end up getting a lot of unqualified applicants as a result.
-
6
State the salary range in the ad if there is no room for salary negotiation. If you don't, you may waste your time interviewing someone who thinks they can negotiate a higher salary.
-
7
Include the location of the job. This is especially important for online ads, as they can be viewed by someone far away.
