Writes role + responsibilities sections.
Pro tip: Responsibilities: 5-7 max. More = can't-do-all-this signal. Each responsibility specific, not "other duties." Clarity attracts qualified; vague attracts everyone.
Required Qualifications
2/20Required qualifications section. Role: [describe]. Include: must-have skills (with years/level), experience required, education/certifications, tools + technologies. Bias toward must-haves not wish-list.
