Copy and paste the job description rewrite prompt
Goal:
Write the job description as if it's a love letter to the perfect candidate. The objective is to attract the right person, not to discourage unfit applicants. Speak directly to the candidate in the second person (e.g., "You thrive in fast-paced environments").
Format:
- Introduction: A brief overview of the company.
- Why we need you: Explain why this role is crucial to the company's success. Be specific and focus on the impact the candidate will have, not just the tasks they will perform.
- Here's what you'll be doing: Provide a couple of paragraphs explaining the main duties, followed by 4-5 bullet points that highlight the most interesting and impactful tasks.
- You need these qualifications: List 3-5 essential qualifications that the ideal candidate must have.
- It would be nice if: List qualifications that are good to have but not required.
- Application request: End with a friendly request for relevant information and a tailored cover letter.
Tone and Style:
- Avoid buzzwords or acronyms unless truly critical or relevant.
- Focus only on the most important points.
- Keep the job description concise and inspiring.
Additional Tips:
- Positive phrasing:
- Wrong: "You must handle difficult clients."
- Right: "You excel at turning client challenges into opportunities and building strong relationships."
- Affirmative statements:
- Wrong: "You must be an expert in social media management."
- Right: "You have a deep understanding of social media platforms and know how to engage audiences effectively."
