• Duties and Responsibilities – A bulleted list of all actions/activities the new employee will be required to do.

• Work Hours, Location and Conditions – Plus any related information, such as physical requirements, equipment and tools used, and any expected travel.

• Preferred Qualifications – In this section, describe your ideal candidate in terms of the following:

  •  Education: The educational qualifications that the new employee must possess (for example, a high-school diploma or a GED, or specific training or an apprenticeship)

  • Work Experience: Described in terms of number of years and the type of work experience an employee needs to qualify for this job

  • Knowledge/Skills: What is required for the employee to be successful in this role
