Assess students' ability to read and analyze job postings to identify explicit required and preferred skills, infer implicit employer priorities (e.g., culture fit, communication, timelines), distinguish must-haves from nice-to-haves, and evaluate how a candidate's qualifications align. Tasks include extracting keyword phrases, noting certifications and experience levels, prioritizing employer needs, identifying qualification gaps, and recommending targeted resume or cover-letter edits and learning steps. Scope: entry- to mid-level postings across common career fields with emphasis on evidence-based alignment and critical analysis.
