That is only ok if the application is for a government job.
Salary? - fixed scheme according to position and years of employment.
Responsibilities? - hahaha no.
Work culture? - Drink Coffee, shoot the shit, sleep at your desk, make life miserable for normal citizens.
I don’t know your government, but I once worked in such a job and its mostly not true. Fixed scheme yes, and maybe a bit less responsibilities compared to the private sector. But workload and culture was similar.
Welp, of course every country is different. Here it’s mostly: do you have an appointment to file for the form that you need in order to request an appointment at the other government agency? No? * looking around and nobody else is there* well, you need to book an appointment first. * returns to staring blankly into nothing *
You should still be able to ask what the job entails in a general sense. (Like clerical, data analytics, design, etc…) It’s usually where the give their spiel such as, “You will be helping to design and roll out a new system that helps focus our resources on what’s important; the people.”
They may be talking out of their ass, but at least you could glean at a very high level what you’ll be doing. (Otherwise a revolving door of dissatisfied hirees could open up)

That’s not fair, they skim bs emails as a responsibility
I know, I have a semi gov job :)

It would still be ok to ask about to find that out.
