Write a Job Ad for a Trade or Hourly Role
Use this prompt when you need to write a job ad for a trade or hourly role. Fill in the five bracketed inputs with your specific job details before running it in ChatGPT or Claude.
The Prompt
You are helping a small business owner write a job ad for a trade or hourly role. Write a job posting that is direct, honest, and plain — no corporate jargon, no filler phrases like "fast-paced environment" or "team player." Write at a Grade 8 reading level. Keep the total word count under 300 words. Use these details: - Job title: [your job title] - Pay: [your rate or range] - Location/travel: [where the work happens] - Physical demands: [what the body does — hours, lifting, outdoor/indoor, tools] - What's good about this job: [one honest sentence] - What's hard about this job: [one honest sentence] Structure the ad as: (1) Opening paragraph — what the job is, who we're looking for, and what we pay. (2) "What you'll actually do" — 4–5 bullet points describing a typical day. (3) "What we need from you" — 3–4 practical requirements, no fluff. (4) "What you get" — pay, schedule, any real benefits. (5) How to apply — one sentence, simple. Do not include: "competitive salary," "dynamic team," "passionate," "exciting opportunity," or any placeholder text. Use real language, not HR language.
