We might also include a short paragraph for metadata like location, part-time, etc. Could add after About the role or as a separate. But we already have location in About the role. Also we could mention Part Time status. Could add a sentence: "This is a part‑time position." Might be okay. We need to ensure we didn't include boilerplate like EEO, etc. We removed those. Check for duplicated lines: we have not repeated. Check for any mention of "Open Until Filled No", "Job Open Date", etc. Those are metadata; we could fold into a short paragraph but not required. The instruction says we can fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. It's optional. We could include a short paragraph with key metadata: location, part‑time, telework no, etc. But we already have location in About the role. Could add a separate
for "Part‑time position; no telework options." But that might be redundant. Might be okay to include a short metadata paragraph. But we must not create sections with filler. So we can add a
after About the role: "Part‑time position; no telework options; must reside in the DC, VA, MD DMV area." However we already mentioned must reside in About the role. Could combine. Better to keep About the role as is, and maybe add a
for "Part‑time position; no telework options." But we already have part‑time not mentioned elsewhere. Could add. Let's add a short paragraph after About the role: "
This is a part‑time position with no telework options.
" That adds info not elsewhere. Check if we duplicated "Must reside in the (DC, VA, MD) DMV area." Already in About the role. That's fine. Now ensure we didn't include any application instructions like "Special Instructions to Applicants". We removed. Check for any leftover boilerplate: "Additional Information" about NOVA description and benefits we already captured benefits; the rest of Additional Information about NOVA mission etc could be considered boilerplate? It's descriptive of the college; might be considered extra but
