Our best examples use multiple approaches:

• "A Day in the Life" - Chronological breakdown of typical shift

• Key Responsibilities - Bullet-point format of main duties

• Responsibilities section - Narrative description of the role

• About the Role - Opening paragraph setting tone and expectations

Combining multiple formats helps different candidates understand the role. Show: the driving portion, customer interaction, paperwork, break times, and any additional duties (food prep, event setup, etc.).

• Minimum: 150-200 words (too short seems unserious)

Our best-performing JDs average 350-400 words total across all sections (summary, requirements, company info combined).

• Overly formal tone that discourages applications

• Missing key information (schedule, location, benefits)

• Requirements as checklist only without role context

• No call-to-action or application instructions
