Why do I need to specify my areas of interest, experience, and expertise? (citizen)

MatchBoard is more than just a way to apply for appointed governmental positions. It’s like a dating app for citizens and entities. We compare your areas of interest, experience, and expertise with each position you apply for. Providing your areas of interest, experience, and expertise helps give a fuller picture of who you are and your qualifications for those reviewing your application. If you have qualifications that are not listed in the available checkboxes, you may specify them in the text box at the bottom of the window.
