How to make something sound AWESOME

Original Job Ad = Itallics
My comments = Bold

High school/university graduate required for leadership role:

I can lead... and I graduated BOTH!

Outstanding leadership training
Exceptional professional development and further education opportunities
Unmatched career progression and lifestyle


Interesting...

Friendly, supportive, team environment
International travel and humanitarian aid potential


International Travel?! Score!

Adventure and sporting opportunities
Free access to gyms, pools and personal trainers
Free health and dental care


And here I am payin' for personal trainers and root canals like a CHUMP!

Subsidised accommodation possible

AND they'll pay my morgatge?

We are looking to recruit quality people to lead our world-class teams. No experience is necessary.

NONE?!!!

You will GET outstanding leadership and management training, ensuring you develop the skills and confidence to solve problems and make good decisions in a range of situations.

I want to GET all those things!

The successful applicant could lead a world-class team of 30 after one year with us.

You will have the independence to plan training and execute tasks with your team in environments ranging from the everyday to challenging. Your career progression will be fast and you will receive outstanding personal character development and travel opportunities.


I love things that are fast and outstanding!

You will be called upon to advise on operational matters.

You may also be able to develop sports and adventure skills within your working hours.


Paid to play petanque and build tree huts! Woah!

We have a policy of supporting and looking after our people, so we provide free healthcare, dental care, access to gyms, pools, personal trainers, meals and clothing.

Wow, sounds like either the best job in the world, or a doomsday cult!

You may not have considered a career with us in the past. Now that you know a little bit about what we can offer, we hope you’ll want to know more.

Okay… I dont like the sound of that first part... but I do kinda want to know more...

Oh. Never mind.
