A job description is not a description. It is a code. In the season opener of The Job Market, Decoded, Lauren pulls back the curtain on job postings and hands you the dictionary.

You will learn a simple three-move framework called Read the Room on Paper, hear what phrases like "wears many hats," "self-starter," and "competitive salary" are usually hiding, and find out why what a posting leaves out tells you as much as what it says. Plus a Horror Story of the Week you have to hear to believe, a Listener Mailbag on "entry level" jobs that ask for five years of experience, and a Tip of the Week that turns any posting into your own interview prep.

Grab this week's free download, The JD Decoder, a translation guide and worksheet for reading any posting before you apply. Free consults and downloads at careerbloomsolutions.com.
