How to build your Resume
You may know exactly the type of individual you are looking for but unless you put together a detailed job specification the whole recruitment process could end up taking longer and proving harder than expected.
The best way to start is to think of your job description as a snapshot of the vacancy you are trying to fill. To provide this to candidates you will need to communicate clearly and concisely the following points:
1. Job Title
2. Department
3. Reports to (who the successful candidate will directly report to)
4. Salary Range (with benefits)
5. Overall Responsibility (a brief outline of the role)
6. Key Areas Of Responsibility (more specific tasks and responsibilities)
7. Skills & Experience (this can include educational qualifications as well as work experience)
Once you have finalised the Job Title and Salary you will need to focus on the more detailed areas of the spec.
Overall Responsibility
This section of a job specification is there to provide candidates with a brief description of the vacancy. This should be kept to a paragraph at most and should inform the reader of the general nature, level, purpose and objective of the position.
Key Areas Of Responsibility
This section should contain a list of the principle duties and ongoing responsibilities of the role. This should be provided in bullet point format whenever possible as big chunks of text can put off potential candidates. The list should contain every duty and responsibility that is considered critical to the successful performance of the job. Traditionally the list will start with the most important duties and continue in order of significance.
If the role you are filling is varied or there are a large number of duties in different areas it may be necessary to split the Key Areas Of Responsibility into relevant sections. For example, if you are looking for a Sales & Marketing Manager, it may be necessary to split the duties into two.
Skills & Experience
The skills & experience section is there to ensure prospective candidates know exactly what is required of them in relation to their skills, previous work experiences and qualifications. This can include educational qualifications but only if they are a real necessity for the job.
This section should also include any specific technical requirements/IT Skills/languages needed/the ability to touch type etc.
If you can put together these three sections clearly and accurately and avoid including irrelevant information you will be well on your way to having a fantastic job specification ready to advertise.
