2. Job descriptions can be the foundation for creating job advertisements.
Once you have a job description, you can create the job advertisement using the statement of purpose and qualifications as the main body of the advertisement.
For example, this advertisement was created by borrowing the statement of purpose and the qualifications from the job description for a Senior Administrative Assistant.
