## What Jamie wrote

Given how important hiring is job postings should be so much better. This is a good read to be aware of certain wording and concepts and what they can mean. To be honest, I think that people often don't really think that hard about these postings and just list a bunch of stuff. So maybe read them not completely literal as well.
