job descriptions
What positions require
Job descriptions are formal summaries of a position's duties, responsibilities, and requirements.
They typically list qualifications, skills, and experience needed for the role.
Employers use them for recruiting and setting expectations; employees use them to understand their scope of work.
The job description mentioned five years of experience, but they hired me anyway.
