The Qualifications section mentioned what hiring manager is expecting from applicant in knowledge, skills experience, and education.  I am highly influenced by the working conditions section mentioning to expect stressful situation, long hours of work and possible travel. An attractive salary range on par with industry is mentioned. This job posting met all eight sections required for a complete job description. Hiring Manager and Talent Acquisition partner spent lot of time to make this job posting very clear and attract the right IT professionals like me. Job description influenced me a lot because it has a clear description of what to expect in this role, has my favorite technologies. I am particularly excited by its stressful wok situation, possibility of working long hours and weekends and travel promising the challenges this job can throw at me to prove my expertise.  I know that this job is definitely not going to be a boring or dull job.
