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.

    For the scenerio you described, the minimum posted experience should be the bottom of the range. The top of the range could be used internally.

      So you accept that there can be a minimum range, but they should just hide it.
