Myth: Potential applicants only care about job requirements.

Busted: While listing the requirements of your open
position is important (and essential in some cases),
employers should also consider adding something a bit extra

Atmosphere', 'Flexible Hours', or even 'Competitive Pay'
will create interest and draw more activity.

for the job. When listing requirements, please differentiate
between required aspects and desirable aspects. This will
help you get excellent candidates that may not be perfect matches.
