Post a job

• Make sure your job posting is complete. Clearly indicate the title, type and status of the position. Specify the academic, personal and professional qualifications you are looking for. Describe your organization: who you are, what you do, your location, size and function. Describe the job: specific role, level of responsibility, duties, work environment, travel expectations, salary range and benefits. Writing a clear, specific posting will help ensure that the most suitable candidates apply.


• Develop a dynamic WIIFM (What's in it of me?) marketing statement to pique candidates’ interest. Your objective is to "sell" your organization and the job opportunity to a select group of students.  Focus on what your organization has to offer outside of traditional compensation and benefits. What is your work environment and culture like? What characteristics of your organization are likely to appeal to Gen Y job seekers?


• Be clear about your organization's mission statement and future direction. Students like to be part of organizations that are continuously moving forward and are involved in community initiatives (i.e. sustainability).


• Creatively market your vacancies as you would market your product to potential customers. Write your job description in a way that will attract qualified candidates. Use action words that will encourage students to read beyond your introduction.


• Clearly state your language requirements and other desired skills (i.e. technical) that could be an asset to the posted position.


• Be clear as to whether you are looking for a student, a recent graduate, or an alumnus/alumna, with a specific number of years of related work experience. Make sure the job requirements correspond to the stage that targeted candidates are at in their professional and academic careers. Also, indicate clearly whether you are looking for Bachelor level, Graduate level or both and clearly indicate which fields of study you are interested in. A detailed list of all of our programs can be found on the John Molson homepage.


• Proofread. Your job description is also your only chance to make a good first impression on John Molson job seekers. Spelling errors, typos, and grammatically incorrect language will be noticed and may cause your posting to be passed over in favour of postings that present a more polished image. Also, please verify e-mail addresses, web addresses, hyperlinks and telephone and fax numbers to ensure that they work.


• Provide clear application instructions. Let candidates know who to apply to. Indicate if you would like your name and contact information to remain confidential. If you do not want students to contact you directly, please put the name and title of the person they should send their application to. Also, be clear as to how you wish to receive applications: as a Word attachment, in the body of an e-mail message, using a web application, by regular mail, fax, and / or CMS collection.


• Set an application deadline. Your job posting will remain active for one month only unless otherwise indicated.


• Indicate who candidates should send their application to. If would prefer not to have your name mentioned provide your title.
