You become very happy for a chance to obtain your dream job.
All your hard work on the application was worth it for you have been invited for an interview
You go online to your potential employer to find the job description and you find…. that the job description is no longer there. Your potential employer only lists job descriptions when the potential employer is accepting applications for the job position. You cannot find a copy of the job description.
You start to stress and wonder what to do…Until you realize that you had made a copy of the job description. You go into your word-processor and find a copy of your job description.
You grow more confident about the interview.
You go into the interview and you do a great job.

Make a copy of your job description
Make a copy of the job position that you are applying for. Many organizations will only list the job description while they are accepting applications for the job position. The job description will no longer be shown when the organization is no longer accepting applications for the job position. Make a copy of the job description so that you can be prepared.
Way to organize copied job descriptions
One way to organize job descriptions is through a word processor. You can organize the job descriptions in a word – processor file by alphabetical order by the name of the potential employer organization and then by the name of the job title.
Keep a copy of the job description – that way, you can look at the job description if you are invited to a job interview.
