How to Write a Job Description That Actually Gets People to Apply

I have viewed many job adverts in my many years.

I never applied for any job that stated in the Job description "competitive salary".

What does this mean? competitive with the other minimum wage staff they employ or competitive with the average pay in that particular profession/industry.

I want to see how much I am going to get paid before I apply for any job.

Imagine all those thousands of employers who missed out on employing me with all my talents, education and life experience just because they were trying to be manipulative around the salary they wanted to pay.

When you asked your builder how much it was going to cost to build the extention to your property you would not accept him saying "Oh yeah mate, its going to be competitively priced".

Why do we accept this BS from employers.

I really don't think this is an issue. All of our job descriptions get 1000 candidates in a week.
