Should I hyphenate the term 'well organised'? The context, if it matters, is the following sentence:
For this role you should be well organised and analytical with some research ability.
(I see there are other question here about hyphenation; do point me to one if this falls under a general rule, I just couldn't see it.)
Answer
Of course the context matters. I think it tells you whether a hyphen is needed or not.
Use a hyphen with compound adjectives (such as well-organized) when they precede a noun.
- It was a well-organized meeting.
When the description follows the noun, no hyphen is necessary.
- Her office is well organized.
In your example, I would not hyphenate the phrase.
