Write the name of the position at the top of the ad, describe the duties of the person who will be hired, outline the qualifications of the ideal candidate, indicate when the person should expect to begin work, where the person will report to work and information about the application process such as how to apply, where to send a resume and what corresponding materials you request and how many interviews the applicant can expect. Provide an email address at which interested candidates may submit their applications. When you post Internet job postings, you want to make it easy for interested parties to respond by allowing them to email their applications to you.
