When people use "minimum" or "maximum" and then follow that with a range. - eviltoast

I once applied for a job where one of the requirements was “minimum 5 to 10 years experience in X”. My friend told me to submit a CV saying I have 3 to 6 years experience in X and see if they shortlist me.

    The standard way to express that is to have the minimum reqs be 5 and the preferred reqs be 10.

      I’ve seen it enough both ways to disagree with one being the standard.
