Jigneshbharati Which meaning of the preposition "in" is used here? com/definition/us/in See definition 5: Expressing inclusion or involvement. ‘I read it in a book’ So this is in an advertisement rather than in a book, but it's the same use of "in".

The relevant phrase is not in their job.

it's in their job ads.

A job ad is an advertisement that gives details of a job vacancy.

The idea in your sentence is that the words 'males preferred' are contained in many job ads.
