5 Ways To Get A Better Response To Your Postings
- First Impressions: Your profile and job posting may be your first impression on a student. Just as you would like your first impression of them to be good they will want the same. Be sure that your profile and job postings include good grammar and punctuation. Capitalize words that should be capitalized. Correct all typos.
- Company Description and Web Address: Include a good description of your company/organization in your profile when registering for your job board account. Let students and alumni know who you are and what you do. Including your website address in your profile will encourage them to take the opportunity to do more research on your organization.
- Job Title: A descriptive title will get attention and increase interest in your opening. Titles such as “Banking”, “Retail” or “Intern” are very general and can mean many things.
- Job Description and Requirements: Include a detailed job description and specific knowledge/experience required with each posting. This will help your opening to be found in more keyword searches and generate more interest from students and alumni.
- Job Location: Whenever possible include the city and zip code where the job is located. Students will often search by location.
