How to Break Down a Job Description.

It is important to read through a job description before applying so you are clear on what the company is looking for and if you are able to deliver.

1. Evaluate the company's industry, values and scope. Do their values align with yours?

2. Understand the critical function the role performs at the company. Can you perform it effectively?

3. Analyze the duties of the role (what should the person be able to do/ how does the role add value to the company or its clients)

4. Compare the job requirements to your skills, education and experience. Do you meet at least 70% or ⅔ of them? Then definitely apply!

5. Decide if the learning curve is achievable, hence, increasing your chances of success if you land the role. What do you need to learn on the job to be effective?
