5 steps to have an effective online job posting

It’s time to say goodbye to “post and pray”. Remember that job postings like a sales opportunity.
The job is the product. Your candidates are the customer. And you’re selling an opportunity.
So how do you get more customers, other hand, how do you have more potential manpower?
Below are 5 steps to help you to write an effective online job posting:

• See more: 3 rules to hire a right candidate at first

1. Clear job titles
Studies show that job seekers only spend 47 seconds to scan one page of search results.
That means the opportunity to reach the best candidates before your competitors happen within seconds.

What can I do to win?
The first:  be clear and concise (effective to administrative assistant or receptionist)
Use common terms your job seeker would use
Ineffective director of first impressions
The second: avoid keyword overload
Keep the length to around five words or less
The third: Don’t use shortcuts
Avoid only using acronyms or abbreviations

2. Concise job descriptions
It’s clear that candidates will never read an entire job description.
That means you need to get to the critical parts of the job role and you need to get there fast.
How can I do?
First – Summarize the role
Drill down to the most important job functions
Then – List job responsibilities
Choose the five most relevant daily tasks to highlight
Now – Make it easy to read
Use down-to-earth language and keep it concise.

3. Compelling company story
When a job seeker finds multiple postings for the same position, they rely on the company description to choose what’s right for them.
That means you should use your company story to sell the job seeker on why he or she should work for you instead of your competition.

How can I do?
Include a brief history of your company:
List when and why you were founded
Detail what your company does:
Who you serve and what products/ services you offer
Share the size of your company:
Through the numbers of employees, locations or clients
Incorporate your company’s ethos:
Choose a writing style and word that match your culture

4. Optimized ads
The most common starting point for job seekers is searching via a search engine like google or yahoo.
That means it’s critical to understand how to optimize posting so they have better placement in search results.

How can I get searched and found?
Pay attention to keywords:
Include common words or phrases job seekers use into the title & body
Location, location, location:
Always include the city and state of your open position
Use search optimized URLs:
Rely on postings that incorporate the actual job title into the URL
Incorporate video:
Videos are more likely than text pages to show up in search results

5. Post away
Follow these simple strategies next time you’re writing a new job posting or revisiting an old one.
Simple tweaks can help boost your candidate response and effectively entice the right candidates to apply to your open position.

Common Things in The Success People (Part 2)

Continue the part 1, now we turn on the part 2 of " Common Things in The Success People".

• See more: Common things in the success people (Part 1)

6. Find Mentors
You cannot go it alone. It can be hard to learn from books. And the internet makes it difficult to separate truth from fiction.
You need someone who has been there to show you the ropes. A Yoda. A Mister Miyagi.
Yes, 10K hours of deliberate practice can make you an expert butwhat makes you dedicate 10K hours to something in the first place?
As Adam Grant of Wharton explains, the answer is great mentors:
Why would somebody invest deliberate practice in something? It turns out that actually most of these world-class performers had a first coach, or a first teacher, who made the activity fun.

7. Have Grit

That’s grit. Perseverance. And it’s one of the best predictors of success there is.
Via Dan Pink’s excellent book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us.
The best predictor of success, the researchers found, was the prospective cadets’ ratings on a noncognitive, nonphysical trait known as “grit”—defined as “perseverance and passion for long-term goals.”

Researchers have found that grit exists apart from IQ and is more predictive of success than IQ in a variety of challenging environments:

Defined as perseverance and passion for long-term goals, grit accounted for an average of 4% of the variance in success outcomes, including educational attainment among 2 samples of adults (N = 1,545 and N = 690), grade point average among Ivy League undergraduates (N = 138), retention in 2 classes of United States Military Academy, West Point, cadets (N = 1,218 and N = 1,308), and ranking in the National Spelling Bee (N = 175).

Howard Gardner studied some of the greatest geniuses of all time. One quality they all had in common sounds an awful lot like grit.

Via Creating Minds: An Anatomy of Creativity Seen Through the Lives of Freud, Einstein, Picasso, Stravinsky, Eliot, Graham, and Ghandi:

…when they fail, they do not waste much time lamenting; blaming; or, at the extreme, quitting. Instead, regarding the failure as a learning experience, they try to build upon its lessons in their future endeavors. Framing is most succinctly captured in aphorism by French economist and visionary Jean Monnet: “I regard every defeat as an opportunity.”

8. Make Awesome Mistakes
Failure is essential.
Losers like to hear that because it makes them feel better about their past mistakes. Winners use it to go make more mistakes they can learn from.

Always be experimenting. In his excellent book Little Bets, Peter Simsexplains the system used by all the greats:
The mindset is what makes a big difference. The willingness to spend 5 to 10% of your time doing experiments will, over the long run, really open up that part of you that can be more creative and entrepreneurial, and yield, hopefully, some new opportunities that you hadn’t thought of before trying something.

You must wrestle with your ideas. Dissect, combine, add, subtract, turn them upside down and shake them. Get ideas colliding.

Via Zig Zag: The Surprising Path to Greater Creativity:
Successful creators engage in an ongoing dialogue with their work. They put what’s in their head on paper long before it’s fully formed, and they watch and listen to what they’ve recorded, zigging and zagging until the right idea emerges.

How to Negotiate Your Job Offer, Step by Step

It's great to receive a job offer but It's greater if you get more good terms and conditions. So how to negotiate your job offer?

No.1. Receive the offer letter and read it carefully.

No.2. Compare the written job offer to your Wish List. Does the job offer include everything you would have wanted? If so, then accept the job!

No.3. If the job offer misses on one or several points of your Wish List (perhaps the salary is a bit low and there is more travel in the job than you would have hoped for), consider talking with your hiring manager about improving (“sweetening”) the job offer.

No.4. If you decide to negotiate your offer, send an email message to your hiring manager. In the message, say something like this: “Dear Phil, I received the job offer this morning. Thank you! I’m excited to get started. I have some issues to go over with you when you have a moment. Will you have time to chat by phone tomorrow?”

No.5. On the telephone (not via email) thank your possible new boss for the offer, first. Then say “I’m excited to take the job, Phil, but I also have a few reservations. The salary is lower than what I’m targeting and I am also hoping to keep my travel to two trips per month. Could we get creative together and see whether we can bridge the gap, so that I can sign the letter and we can schedule my start date?”

No.6. Some managers will tell you “I have no room to negotiate. The offer is the offer.” That is worth some serious consideration, because if the message is “Take it or leave it” from the beginning of the relationship, it will not get better. An employer will never love you more than they do when they’re trying to hire you.

No.7. If your manager will negotiate with you, throw out some suggestions for bridging the gap between your requirements and the offer you’ve received. Perhaps you could take a sign-on bonus to cover the gap between the offer and your target salary.

No.8. If your manager agrees to any improvements in your offer letter, ask him or her to send you a corrected letter that you can sign. Do not accept a revised offer until you have seen it in writing. You can tell your manager on the phone “That all sounds great, and on that basis, I’m happy to accept the job.” Make sure you sign the revised offer letter, not the original offer letter with changes scribbled in. I’ll be very excited for you when you accept a job offer, but only if it’s a job offer that matches the responsibility and impact you’ll have in your new organization. I’ve got the celebratory champagne cooling now!
