I need to advertise for an au pair starting in September, and have got as far as working out that I need to create a detailed ad, preferably with pictures, to try and attract good applicants and weed out unsuitable ones. I am, however, lacking in inspiration (hopefully this is not a reflection on my quality of life). Broadly speaking I think I need to cover:
- a bit about DH and I (ages, professions, country of origin, interests)
- a reasonably detailed description of the job (hours, tasks, what time we'll be home etc)
- a description of where we live / accommodation / resources (pc access etc)
- minimum things we're looking for in an au pair
Is there anything else I should include? Or better still, does anyone have a brilliant example of an ad ?
(honestly, this is about as much fun as updating your CV)
