All advertisements are drafted in accordance with University guidelines and normally:
- have a minimum closing period of 10 working days from the date of publication for the receipt of applications unless the authorising officer approves a shorter closing period;
- where the position requires special knowledge and understanding of a particular group, specify that persons from that group are encouraged to apply;
- carry the web address of the Human Resources Department, from which applicants can obtain a duty statement, selection criteria, information on the availability of special access provisions, information on the organisational unit, and other relevant information;
- outline the salary range/level of the position and the duration of the appointment.
Below are samples of advertisements in the QUT advertising format along with some sample wording.
