227: The Skill No One Teaches You: Job Ad Literacy


Listen Later

Ever read a job ad and thought "what does this role actually involve?"

Job ads can be surprisingly hard to interpret! Some oversell the role, while many leave out the details you really want to know.

In this episode, Sarah and Emma explain how to get better at understanding the true seniority, scope and reality of a role, even when it's unfamiliar.

We share a simple way to build this skill faster, by tapping into the people around you and learning from ads for jobs you already understand.

šŸ€ Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Mel who bought us 3 coffees!

ā€œHi! First and foremost, I appreciate so much what you both have put together for the world to learn, grow, and reference. So far, the episodes I have listened to have been very informative and entertaining. Thank you for putting the added time and effort into the rest of the world! My question is, how do I put into words 'this position is very undervalued?' I want to apply but I feel like it's at minimum $30k off the mark. Is it worth going through with an interview to then attempt a high ball negotiation? It feels like when you’re house shopping and it's $100k overpriced so you put in an offer way the hell below. But then how do you know if you don't try? Just looking for insight from the pros.ā€
