Question

3 — employer needs
learning objective: recognize ways to search the job description for employer needs.
where in a job description will you find clues about a hiring manager’s priorities?
a.) the skills section
b.) the about us section
c.) the high - level overview of the job
d.) the job title

Explanation:

To determine where to find clues about a hiring manager’s priorities in a job description, we analyze each option:

• Option a: The skills section lists the required and preferred skills, which directly shows what the employer values and prioritizes for the role.
• Option b: The “About Us” section focuses on the company’s background, not the job’s priorities.
• Option c: The high - level job overview gives a general sense of the job but not the detailed priorities like skills.
• Option d: The job title only indicates the position name, not the priorities.

So the skills section is where we find clues about the hiring manager’s priorities.

Answer:

a. The skills section
