Decode a job ad
Lesson 3 of 10 in AI Career Foundations
The one idea
A job ad is not just a list. It is a map of what the employer cares about.
Look for four things: tasks, tools, traits, and proof. If a role says "respond to customer queries, update order records, follow up on late deliveries, and communicate with suppliers," that is proof of communication, record keeping, follow-up, coordination, and problem solving.
Do not copy every keyword or lie. Match the ad to your real proof.
