- About Us:
- Since 1965, Dallas College, formerly Dallas County Community College District, has served more than three (3) million students. Comprising seven campuses located around the Dallas/Fort Worth area, we are one of the largest community college systems in the state of Texas. We strive to be a leader in the community college space, placing students at the center of everything we do. Dallas College is committed to cultivating an environment of opportunity and belonging for all students and employees. We recognize that the Dallas College workforce, and the diverse talent that stems from it, is directly linked to our success. We are part of an equal opportunity system that provides education and employment opportunities without discrimination on the basis of any protected attribute, including race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, veteran status, pregnancy or any other basis protected under applicable law. In accordance with applicable law, Dallas College will make reasonable accommodations for applicants and employees’ religious practices and beliefs, as well as any mental health or physical disability needs.
But we need to remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. The About Us includes EEO statements; we should remove those lines. However we need to preserve substantive info about Dallas College: history, size, mission, commitment to opportunity and belonging, etc. The EEO lines are boilerplate; we should remove them. So we keep: "Since 1965, Dallas College, formerly Dallas County Community College District, has served more than three (3) million students. Comprising seven campuses located around the Dallas/Fort Worth area, we are one of the largest community college systems in the state of Texas. We strive to be a leader in the community college space, placing students at the center of everything we do. Dallas College is committed to cultivating an environment of opportunity and belonging for all students and employees. We recognize that the Dallas College workforce, and the diverse talent that stems from it, is directly linked to our success." Possibly also keep "We are part of an equal opportunity system..." but that's EEO; better to remove. Also remove accommodation line? It's about reasonable accommodations; could be considered boilerplate but maybe substantive? It's about policy; but it's also EEO-related. Safer to remove.
- Work Location/Hybrid info: "All positions are considered on-site roles. After six months of employment, some positions may be eligible to apply for a hybrid work arrangement based on job responsibilities, operational needs, supervisor approval, and Dallas College policy. Academic (Faculty) positions require an on-campus presence, even when teaching online courses, in accordance with state law. Position Type Staff All positions are considered on-site roles. After six months of employment, employees may have the opportunity to apply for a hybrid work schedule. Academic positions (Faculty) require on-campus presence, even if the role involves teaching online classes, in accordance with state law."
We can summarize: Positions are on-site; after six months may be eligible for hybrid work arrangement; academic positions require on-campus presence even if teaching online.
- Schedule: Weekly Work Hours 19.5
- Pay: Compensation Range HB2 Hourly Rate $23.78
- Benefits: none given.
We need to decide sections.
Possible sections:
- About the role (could combine Position Summary + Work Location info? Or maybe About the role = Position Summary + Work Location? Usually About the role includes summary and maybe work location. We'll include Position Summary and work location/hybrid info.
- Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities)
- Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications? Or Requirements could be Minimum Qualifications + Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities? But we have separate headings for Qualifications and Skills. The instruction says use headings for: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content to these.
We can interpret:
- About the role: Position Summary + maybe work location.
- Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (maybe also "Position requires regular and predictable attendance").
- Qualifications: Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities (these are qualifications).
- Skills: maybe we could split out specific skills from Required Knowledge... but we could also put same content under Skills? But we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we put Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities under Qualifications, and Skills could be empty? But we must not create a section with filler. So we should only include Skills if there is specific skill content separate from qualifications. The posting lumps knowledge, skills, abilities together. We could treat that as Qualifications and not create Skills section. Or we could split: Qualifications = Minimum Qualifications, Skills = Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities. But then Requirements would be something else? Hmm.
Better: Use Requirements for Minimum Qualifications (education/experience). Use Qualifications for Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities (which includes knowledge, skills, abilities). Use Skills maybe for specific skills like "Excellent interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills", "Technologically proficient", etc. But that would duplicate.
Given the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should avoid creating many thin sections. Likely we should have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. Possibly Benefits omitted. Skills omitted if not distinct.
Thus we will output:
