What does the role involve?
State all the cool things that this person will get to do and work on. Do NOT put generic things like “Will work with key stakeholders to drive KPIs”. Put very specific things that will excite the best candidates. The purpose is to get the best people excited, nothing more.
How would you describe the role in your own words? What makes it exciting? How will the candidate make a difference? What are the responsibilities? Who will this person be working with? Focus on things that are different to doing a similar role in other companies.
A.V., Intern, 2025: "I joined as an intern this March 2025, my work focusing on cell analytics which involves working in the glove box and running EC tests. The projects are quite dynamic, which keep me engaged and provide ample learning opportunities, especially when I continuously work with or support the other team members in lab activities. I'm happy to be part of a diverse and a welcoming team who make the work environment very enjoyable and stimulating."
