When people use "minimum" or "maximum" and then follow that with a range.

I once applied for a job where one of the requirements was "minimum 5 to 10 years experience in X". My friend told me to submit a CV saying I have 3 to 6 years experience in X and see if they shortlist me.

OP isn't saying not to add the requirement. They're saying it should read "minimum 5 years", not "minimum 5 to 10 years" which makes no sense.

Ahh. Got it. My mistake.

But - I wouldn't be surprised actually. What I am surprised with is what kind of applicants I get even with requirements like that (although more precise) in the job ad.
