JIRA is a good way to weed out organisations I will probably not enjoy working with. Kind of like if the interviewer says they have a COBOL or java codebase "they'd like me to look at" even though neither is on my resume. Ironically this is not a criticism of JIRA itself. I use it now like I'd use a woman's bad hair on a date or her declaring her borderline personality disorder at dinner. It's a form of red flag detection / future horrible incident avoidance. The problem with agile/scrum and jira is that it is frequently deployed as a form of snake oil with the expectation that it will instantly solve all that ails them. Instead of something that requires actual support, procedures, daily action as well as simple management follow through to succeed.
