Changing jobs.

Most companies recruit new staff by advertising in the press. Pages with job advertisements are usually headed “appointments”. They contain descriptions or specifications of the sort of people the advertiser is looking for. Experience (degrees, diplomas, certificates) are obviously important, but experience may count for much more. The aim is to attract a small number of well-qualified applicants, so that it is fairly easy to make a shortlist of the people you actually want to interview. If the advertisement is not specific enough, hundreds of people will send in their applications; but if it demands too much, they may be discouraged from allying at all.
