3 Job description buzzwords to pay attention to
Fast-paced: As you'd imagine this means there's a lot of happening at once. Beyond that it suggest you'll be going from one project to the next without a lot of time to sit back and reflect. So, it's a good fit for someone who's easily bored or task-driven. On the other hand, a focus on speed could be stressful for perfectionists and people who dislike multitasking. If you want time to ideate and reflect without the pressure, look for a work environment that's described as relaxed.
Social: Do you want to make friends at work? If so, a social workplace could be just what you're looking for. On the other hand, you won't be happy there if you're the kind of person who's 100% focused on work. Look for a place with an emphasis on individual work - and people who want to leave at quitting time.
Rapidly-Growing: In a rapidly-growing department, it's easier for you to evolve your position and boost your resume quickly. If you see words like "startup," "inaugural," or "changing," you'll probably get to stretch and take on new things. It's less for you if you want the comfort and security that come with a well-established role. If you want to follow the systems a predecessor put in place, and have your responsibilities match up exactly with what you signed on for, look for company that's described as stable.
