ABOUT US

(Describe your company here. Chances are that you have introduced the company to your prospective employee before writing out this job proposal, but this is a good opportunity to really paint the picture. This is especially true if you are competing with other companies for this person’s potential employment. Either way, you surely want to foster a certain identity for your company in your employees’ minds, so do so in a few paragraphs. Convey your mission).

YOUR ROLE AT [Sender.Company]​

(Describe the offered position here. Where does this prospective employee fit into your company’s infrastructure? This is not a section in which you should dryly list a bunch of duties. Don’t think of it as simply a job proposal, make the prospective employee feel like the job is more than a job. Rather, make them feel that they are fulfilling a specific purpose in your company achieving its mission, whatever that may be. Highlight the importance of the role, showing clearly how the employee will be essential to meeting your goals).

YOUR COMPENSATION PACKAGE

(Now that you have framed the prospective employee’s role within your company, the next step in this job proposal is to let them know what tangible benefits they will receive. Such benefits may include any of the following:

• Salary

• Commission (if it is a sales job, then they may be able to earn extra money contingent upon making such sales)

• Bonus structure (there may be performance-based bonuses that they could earn over extended periods of time)
