“Job adverts” is the most incomprehensible nonsense genre to exist

I'm currently looking at copywriting and editing jobs, and every single advert I read just vaguely states that I'll be: “a vital part of the content development and strategy team” or “Overseeing, conceptualizing, and producing content for all digital channels ensuring customer engagement” Yes, I know this field is about creating digital content, but as someone straight out of university and with zero experience apart from the assignments I've done as part of my education (Media Science bachelor), I would honestly just love a very specific overview of how a workday at this company usually plays out. And I know this isn't just the case for this field of work. It's just how the genre is; completely vague and uninformative nonsense. I wish we could just start posting videos of what the former employee did throughout their day. An 8-minute video maybe. One minute to show each hour or something
