    Be clear about what the candidate needs to be able to do, whether that's coding, writing, editing, or something else. It's also important to be clear about the culture of the company and the kind of person you want. That's key, especially with the newer workforce—they want a place that fits their personality. The work you do might be similar to other places, but mentioning all that info about your company will be a magnet for the right type of people.

    How do I write a proposal to employer training that would benefit staff?
    Community Answer
    Don't. Write one that benefits the employer so the employer actually agrees to it. They spend the money so the employees get X, BUT, employees getting X means the employer gets Y, so it's good for them.

    How do I write a proposal to the director of a school to provide materials for sporting activities?
    Community Answer
    Look at the school's budget to see if there are areas where you can suggest cutbacks. Look into different school fundraisers and get permission to hold them, along with a list of adult volunteers who would be willing to help. Explain how important these activities are to maintain the overall unity of students, and how that positive bonding carries over into schoolwork, show statistics to back it up. If that fails, petition the board.

    How can I gather materials for a new library?
    Community Answer
    Check local libraries for any discarded or free books; also, most libraries are willing to loan some books to get you started. You could also organize an event by posting signs around town and/or publishing ads in the newspaper.
