A job description isn’t just a checklist of requirements, it can also give you clues about what to ask in an interview.
If an advert says:
“Strong communication skills” → Ask what communication looks like day-to-day and who you’ll be working with.
“Ability to work independently” → Ask how much autonomy you’ll have and what support is available.
“Career development opportunities” → Ask what progression actually looks like and how employees are supported to develop.
“Flexible working” → Ask what flexibility means in practice: remote working, working hours, or both?
The job description gives you a starting point. Your questions help you understand the reality of the role.
And remember: you’re interviewing them too.
