The content of job advertisements

  • Chapter

Abstract

Job ads: art-form, PR opportunity or information-giving device? It is said that people leave managers, not companies, and they seek jobs based, almost exclusively, on an organization’s reputation and the salary, implied or specified. They make trade-offs: more dosh but a less prestigious organization; easier commuting for less salary; security of tenure for promotability. Titles are important too.
