Maybe I am over-personalizing, but in general I am not self-centered.
My ex-employer posted a job for the position I left at a nonprofit. It came as an email in my inbox so I happened to see it. In the posting they specified what they were looking for and what they were NOT looking for. In the NOT section, they listed all of my weaknesses/small flaws that were my pain-points during reviews. Some of them were so petty, minor, and specific (and honestly just part of being human) that it made the job posting look ridiculous.
They also posted more responsibilities for this person (it’s now two roles in one… TITLE 1 plus TITLE 2 Director) and less pay than I made… but I digress.
One example specifically – I struggled with my dyslexia on certain tasks and had trouble with proofreading. (Though proofreading wasn’t even a main feature of my job in any way, just another “task as assigned.” And they were aware of my dyslexia)
They added a long bullet point to the job posting about hiring the next candidate who “can read” and a few more sentences about the importance of reading. Just seemed very odd how it was phrased. I definitely “could read” but had some minor mistakes when proofreading.
Can’t post more details for fear of being doxxed.
But yeah, I don’t know who they will find for this position that is officially two positions in one (though really more like 3-4 positions behind the scenes) and who is also a perfect human being with no flaws whatsoever.
