The amount of specific experience that is being requested by HR / Talent Acquisition is ABSURD, and not just a one off. “We are looking for a talented Account Manager, must have a quadruple major in business / marketing / sales history / global trade routes; in addition, please note three past roles where you wore green on Thursdays, and 81 years of selling our particular product or service, as well as proven DNA that you are at a minimum 7th generation account manager”

"Proven DNA that you are at a minimum 7th generation account manager" I'm so sick of seeing this one on every single listing. Don't even get me started on the "Preferred Qualifications" section...

I wouldn't take a lot of those listings too literally. They often sound like some weird Frankenstein wish list that came together and no one has the wherewithal to edit down the corporate gibberish and make it realistic. Just go ahead and apply and see what happens, that's the best approach. There is no one person aligning with a bizarre list of qualifications, so they're either going to hire someone with just some of them, or they'll just keep waiting for their ideal candidate to ride in on a unicorn.

Yeah it's totally ridiculous, but I think that they don't really require all of those things, I think they're just trying to weed out people who won't apply seeing all of those requirements. I would still find a way to include all the keywords on your resume, but don't worry about the years of experience and degrees, blah blah blah

I can't fly , Do they want it ?

It's almost as if they don't want to hire people and train them on programs that didn't exist six months ago. Assholes!

My background is in tech transactional. I joined a cybersecurity SaaS startup at the end of last year and now also handle more generalist matters in addition to all things commercial-related. I have a number of books on contracts that I’ve found super helpful over the years (The Tech Contracts Handbook, A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, Sign Here, etc.). Can anyone recommend books they’ve found helpful for L&E matters, privacy matters, product matters, or marketing/advertising matters?
