Prepare a Job Advertisement
AIDA technique for writing a job announcement:
A classic acronym to follow is the AIDA selling format: Attention, Interest, Desire, Action. This means that good job advertisements must first attract attention from the right job seekers, attract a good degree of interest from the right people and create desire in the job seeker to pursue to role.

Please check Task.1 for detail or use LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+, Rozee.pk or any other career portal.

Networking:
Networking is free, and the candidate may turn out to be right under your nose. If this approach doesn’t work, you may then want to hire some outside help, but in my experience you already know who you want, so you just have to do a little bit of leg work to find the person.

This guide provides the basics of writing a job description and covers the following sections of the job description:
♦ Position Details
♦ Job Duties (“What you do”)
♦ Performance Standards (“How you do it”)
♦ Job Factors For more comprehensive instruction, the Compensation

Department offers Job Description workshops to provide administrators, managers, supervisors, and staff employees with the necessary tools to write effective job descriptions. Please see the Compensation Main page or FSDP page on the Organization Development website for dates and times of the next Job Description Workshop available to you.

Position Details
This Position Details section contains general information about the job – the current or requested classification, working title, pay range, exemption status, department name and number, position number, percentage of effort, the job description summary, comparable positions, etc.
Working Title – The working title for a job should be based upon the main function or role of the job. It is important to stray away from vague and very specific job titles, instead create a working title that appropriately describes both the level of responsibility and role of the job. Here are some examples of good working titles and those that need some improvement:
