Composing a Great Job Posting Think of your posting as an advertisement. The more inviting and informative your ad is, the better your response will be. Here is a typical job posting to graduate-jobs.com along with some helpful tips. Title The more descriptive the better! Example: "eCommerce Business Development Manager - Travel" Keywords Possibly the most important information accompanying your posting. Keywords are what 50% of graduates use to find your job posting. Keywords should be used wisely, be as specific and as comprehensive as possible and we encourage you to think laterally. Keywords in our example could include: "e-commerce, ecommerce, travel, manager, management, tourism, www, internet, tourism". EACH KEYWORD SHOULD BE SEPARATED BY A COMMA.
