A General Vacancy Notice That Works for Any Role
Not every vacancy fits a design that names a profession. This announcement leaves the job open: a black panel carries the heading We are Looking for, five bullet lines for the job and its requirements, a photo of a hand taking notes, and a white box with the company details and a QR code. It suits employers of any size who need to advertise one or several roles.
Black Panel, Photo and Contact Box
The page is 8.5 x 11 inches, portrait, one page. The left two thirds are black, and the right third shows a blurred photo of a person writing. A white box with an orange SAMPLE LOGO sits at the top left. At the foot, a white contact box with a QR code overlaps the photo. The fonts are Aclonica, Carlito and Inter.
Heading, Bullet Lines and Contact Box
Under We are Looking for, five bullets give the role and its requirements. Replace the placeholder text with a job title, a few duties and the qualifications. The contact box lists [COMPANY NAME], a street address, a phone number, an email and a website, beside a QR code. Link the code to your application form, and test it.
Five Bullets That Work
- Job title and location.
- Main duties in one line.
- Required skills or certificates.
- What you offer: pay, hours, training.
- How and when to apply.
Using the QR Code Effectively
Link the code to a page that works on phones, such as an online form. Print it at least two centimetres wide and keep a quiet margin around it. Check that it opens the right page before you print a stack.
Avoiding Discriminatory Wording
Write requirements that relate to the job, such as qualifications and skills. Avoid phrases that exclude people by age, gender or background unless the law allows it. Many countries have rules about equal opportunity in job advertisements.
Printing the Black Vacancy Notice
A black background uses a lot of toner. Print on 120 gsm paper in colour, or reverse the design for a lighter version. For online use, save a PDF or image.
Step by Step Editing of the Black Job Vacancy Design

- Retype every name, date and contact line on the black job vacancy design, checking each against a trusted source.

- Click any logo or photo on the black job vacancy design, choose Replace Image and resize the new picture to fit.
