When working as a hotel manager you have to deal with hiring new staff. During the high season when your hotel is fully booked you need more receptionists, bellboys and others to cope with all that work. Sometimes people move or get promotion and you are again facing the same situation that you need new people to take over their jobs. When your business expands and you open new hotels or you enlarge the same building, bring in some new facilities or open the hotel restaurant, you have to think out which is the best way to let the people know that you have some vacancies to fill.

The following are TEN TOP TIPS to make sure that when you advertise vacancies you will increase the quality of the individuals applying as well as the number of responses you receive:

• Good content is much more important than flashy graphics.

• Put yourself in the shoes of the reader.

• Do some research before constructing your advert.

• Use a strong but meaningful headline to attract attention.

• Keep the body content of your advert short, sharp and to the point.

• Don’t forget the vital ‘Call to Action’. Towards the end of your advert, you should clearly state exactly what you want the reader to do next.

• Use appropriately authoritative design and typography

• Be prepared and be professional.

• Be sure to place your advert in appropriate media.
