We also have "#FCS-RX SCREENINGS – Background, drug, and nicotine screens" etc. That's boilerplate? It's about screenings; could be considered part of Requirements? Might be considered part of hiring process but we can drop as boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The screenings might be considered part of hiring process but not exactly boilerplate; but it's about background, drug, nicotine screens. Might be considered part of Requirements? Could keep as a short paragraph under Requirements? However it's more about pre-employment screening. Might be considered part of the process, not essential job duties. The instruction says remove boilerplate; screenings could be considered boilerplate. Safer to drop.
Also "EEOC Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute (FCS) is committed to helping individuals with disabilities..." is EEO boilerplate, drop.
Also "Click HERE to access the Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration" drop.
Now we need to map to headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have content for About the role (Summary + A LITTLE BIT ABOUT FCS? Actually About the role could be summary of role; A LITTLE BIT ABOUT FCS is about company, not role. Could be considered About the role? Might be better to put company info under About the role? The heading "About the role" is for role description; we have Summary. We'll put Summary under About the role. The company info could be omitted or maybe included under About the role as context? But instruction: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid adding other headings, but we should stick to those. We could include company info under About the role as part of role context? Might be okay.
But we also have "WHY JOIN FCS" which is benefits and pay. So we can put Benefits and Pay there.
We need to avoid empty sections.
Let's plan sections:
- About the role: include Summary paragraph (maybe also include A LITTLE BIT ABOUT FCS?
for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details from each section.
