Job Posting Reflection Exercise

Description

Below is a completely made up and ridiculous job description. Change it.

Make this job description THE job description that, were it presented to you today, would make you apply (or at least consider application) immediately.
Don't limit yourself to any of the headings. If there are headings that you feel are missing and important to you, add them and content to describe them.
Similarly, don't feel like you have to add to every heading. If you feel that some headings are a "given" or you don't feel like adding content under any of the headings - remove them!

In this exercise, feel free to look around!!!

Steal from other job descriptions that exist in the wild and take the best parts - those that resonate most with you and would be an aspect of the work you'd like to see yourself doing in the future.

The intent is to make the vision of your next role clearer.
