TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL JOB POSTING

Standing out to candidates is challenging; use these strategies to attract talent to your job posting(s).

• Provide a clear and concise definition of the primary functions/goals of the role. Include required tasks and the methods used to complete the tasks.
• Avoid jargon, which may not be familiar to those outside the company.
• Use present tense and keep descriptions short and concise.
• Employ formatting techniques like bullets for optimal organization and easier reading.
• Make it inclusive by using gender neutral language and avoiding gendered terms like "hacker," "rockstar," "superhero," and "ninja." 
• Avoid vague descriptions that may convey that tasks are optional or open to interpretation. 
• Include salary/wage range and benefit information. 
• Share organizational values and culture, which is increasingly becoming important to students.
• Insert your company's brand and voice into the content.

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR,

EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION

I provide recruiting consultations with employers interested in hiring intern or co-op candidates. I help companies create and build new intern/co-op programs and enhance the programs they currently have. I'm also the contact for Intern Week. 

Fun fact: Fall is my absolute favorite season, and I feel the environment and energy on campus this time of year just can’t be beat.
