Tips on developing a more engaging writing style for HR projects

Just add stuff like, "exciting opportunity', 'fast growing company', unique opportunity, excellent benefits/competitive salary'. etc., etc.,

I can't really help but this will bump the post up again.

Never fear, this particular David's here too........
- can't help much though, I'm afraid, save to strongly recommend wide reading and writing about all manner of serious (both novelists' and poets') 19th and 20th century literature (Open University can be useful in this regard) and usually skills will develop as you progress.

It may have been gathering dust in the Central Archaeological Library, but there’s many a new tune that can be played on an old fiddle as they say and this in its day was regarded as the standard and superlative Guide for good reason:

Best wishes with it all!

Effective communication / plain words and creative writing are of course very different things - and skills, Laura. This for example (by the usual culprit - couldn’t resist it!) is creative alright but hardly plain:

Words move, music moves
Only in time; but that which is only living
Can only die. Words, after speech, reach
Into the silence. Only by the form, the pattern,
Can words or music reach
The stillness, as a Chinese jar still
Moves perpetually in its stillness.
Not the stillness of the violin, while the note lasts,
Not that only, but the co-existence,
Or say that the end precedes the beginning,
And the end and the beginning were always there
Before the beginning and after the end.
And all is always now. Words strain,
Crack and sometimes break, under the burden,
Under the tension, slip, slide, perish,
Will not stay still. Shrieking voices
Scolding, mocking, or merely chattering,
Always assail them. The Word in the desert
Is most attacked by voices of temptation,
The crying shadow in the funeral dance,
The loud lament of the disconsolate chimera.
