How to Handle Missing or Partial Job Descriptions
On this page
Sometimes a job listing doesn’t provide complete text—or the page hides parts of the description. If HyperApply seems to generate weak or irrelevant results, it may be working with incomplete job context.
Symptoms of a “partial description”
- Skill suggestions look generic or unrelated
- The summary doesn’t match the role’s focus
- The CV emphasizes the wrong tools or responsibilities
- The company/role appears correct, but details feel missing
Step-by-step fixes (try in order)
1) Expand collapsed sections
On many job sites (including LinkedIn), click:
- “See more”
- “Show more”
- expanded requirement sections
Then generate again.
2) Refresh and wait for the page to finish loading
Job pages often render content progressively.
- Refresh
- wait a few seconds
- then open HyperApply and generate
3) Open the listing in a full page view
If you’re viewing a job inside a modal or a partial embedded view, open it as a full page.
4) Try a different job listing
This helps determine whether the problem is page-specific.
5) Check blockers
Ad blockers and privacy tools can break page rendering:
- disable them for the job site temporarily
- reload and retry
If the job post is genuinely thin
Some listings provide very little text. In that case:
- use HyperApply, but keep expectations realistic
- focus your review pass on clarity and truthfulness
- consider improving your base CV so it contains richer proof points
FAQ
Can I paste a job description manually?
Usually not necessary. If the listing page is incomplete, expand sections or try a different view of the listing.
Why do different job sites behave differently?
Every site renders content differently. Some are simple HTML; others are dynamic apps with late-loading sections.
