MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is an OLE document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The document body presents a job description to trick the user into enabling macros. The presence of a Document_Open macro strongly suggests the intent to execute malicious code upon opening the document, likely to download a second-stage payload.
