job advertisements

Even if u write a good job description, u can still get tripped up when u put the job in an advertisement,especially if u let someone to write the ad and it's not familiar with the legal guidelines.
Here are some words that u need to avoid to use in an ad:waiter, salesman, handyman,college student, married couple ...and here are the words that u can use: salesperson,wait staff, part-time worker, general repair person,two person job etc.
Not all advertising it's done with professional agencies.Many organization have their own advertising departments.This in-house agencies often will do everything until the actual purchase.

  1. This comes very handy for some people. It is of great importance for people to know what to write/or not to write in a job advertisment.
    After all, everybody who reads it, should have a real image about your skills and knowledge!

  2. Dear Elena,
    I suppose this entry on your blog is the one you chose from what we did in class.
    Why do you think the word waiter, for example, should be avoided in a job ad, if you are a waiter or if you are looking for a waiter's position?

    I appreciate that you wrote about your hometown and I also appreciate the work you have done in collecting all the material.
