Even though job descriptions are a topic of discussion here at CMU, it is good to see what employers are looking for and how a job with a single title may be defined in so many ways. We can see this in that here the job is scene shop supervisor but does not specify that the supervisor would be working with students where based on experience here we would assume there is interaction between students and the scene shop supervisor. Does this job assume a candidate knows they will likely be working with students?
