A job description is must if you’re going to be advertising a position online or in a local paper, and it has to outline every important aspect related to the job, so people know whether they’re suitable for the position or not.

Here are just a few of the important aspects that should be covered in a job description or job brief:

• Knowledge
• Years’ experience
• Behaviour/personality
• Responsibilities
• Qualifications
• Start Dates
• Salary

If you cover each of these aspects in detail you may find that you’ve written too much, and it can be extremely advantageous to be able to cover each of these elements in short, rather than going into too much detail, because that’s what the interviewing process is for.
