      You mean knows how to word match very well.

      This isn't just your fault btw but it's also how some clients work.

      Due to their layers of management and HR, or the fact they think everyone should understand exactly what they mean they hand out really crap role descriptions.

        As of late this evening the role has been re-advertised with an extra line at the end stressing the nature of the tenth point! Not just me then.....
