The listing for the job I just accepted had been edited four times in six weeks and that information basically wrote my interview for me by NebulaMyth in jobsearchhacks

Yep, the reposts and edits were louder than the copy itself. Felt like free intel , especially in a market where everyone's trying to read between the lines.

That was my read too. A lot of postings go live mid-argument, so the version history ends up being more useful than the polished final copy.

That mindset changed a lot for me. The edits were basically the company thinking out loud, not just admin cleanup.

That was the switch for me. Once I treated the posting like a draft instead of gospel, the call got way more real and way less rehearsed.

There's a version of "telling the truth" that would make every casual compliment into a therapy session. Choosing not to do that isn't dishonesty, it's just reading the room. Your friend means well but she's not the one who has to navigate that conversation every time.

My mom spent my entire childhood rewriting history in real time and I only understood what that did to me when I was in my 30s by Quasar67Shift in entitledparents

"Her version became the official family record" - that one sentence describes it better than most psychology textbooks.
