Tips from November 17, 2009
The Small Business tips today discuss publicizing job openings.
- Knowing where to place
your ads is crucial. Only a handful look in newspapers nowadays, the
majority of people look online. Place ads on various job sites, such as
SimplyHired or Craigslist. A simple "Help Wanted" ad in your window or
on your website will help too.
- Make your
ad informative first, creative second. You are looking to hire those
who are serious about a job, not necessarily those who are attracted
simply by the uniqueness and how catchy the job post is.
-
Talk to local colleges. Many graduates, or students who are looking for
a part time job, have their ears and eyes open for job opportunities.
Have your job requirements ready.
- Job advertising through the media is a good
way to go big. Try the radio first, then the TV. Be sure to include
your phone number and/or website multiple times.
Daily Overview: Post your job listing where job seekers are looking. Be creative, but keep the bigger picture in mind.
