Tell Me: WHO exactly does this role report to?<p>What’s their track record? Do they have true management experience and domain expertise? -<p>Ultimately, it’s the leadership and people on the team that make a job interesting.

Requirements vs like to haves clearly spelled out.<p>Location - if remote is a possibility, then how often you expect me in. i.e if I move to Hobart in Australia is it a problem.<p>Your work style.<p>Salary is always important.<p>I do not want to see a bunch of fluff - i.e. come work in a dynamic environment, making world changing services, for an energetic and so on and so on. No need for the &#x27;Ad&#x27;. It makes me wonder what the truth is.

Let&#x27;s be frank, if salary figures are missing a job listing will always be red after those with a salary range.<p>Then the description of tech stack and responsibilities.

In order: 1) Responsibilities + who I will report to 2) Hours 3) Real Hard Requirements (what I will be interviewed on) 4) If travel is required 5) Salary (don&#x27;t give me a range, I will treat the salary you post as a middle point anyway and ask for more)
