Create a standout job advert

The way you write your job advertisement plays a key role in attracting the best candidates. 

On the DeakinTALENT Jobs and Internships Board, your audience is specifically students and recent graduates – take the opportunity to tailor your offer to this audience. The tips below may help when you are writing your job advertisement. 

Clear job description

  • Clearly outline the responsibilities and tasks associated with the role. Use bullet points for easy reading. 
  • Keep it realistic. Remember, students and graduates might not have extensive experience yet. 

Target study areas

  • The ‘Job Sectors’ field relates to students’ study areas. If you are unsure which study areas to select, please review Deakin University’s  study area list.  

What’s in it for them

  • Emphasise any training, mentorship or career advancement opportunities. Students and graduates are often looking for roles where they can learn and grow. 
  • Include the salary range. Students and graduates value transparency and organisations that set clear expectations from the start. 
  • Mention any flexible working options, such as hybrid work or flexible hours, which can be very appealing to students and recent graduates. 

Application process 

  • Remember that students and graduates may not have applied for full-time employment before. Clearly outline the application process, including any deadlines, required documents and steps involved. Make it as straightforward as possible.
