Advanced Marine Electrician (Norfolk, VA)
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invented or summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove things like "Company Overview", "Serco is a place you can count on..." etc. Also remove "Pay Transparency" etc? Actually Pay and Benefits sections we need to include if posting actually states them. The posting includes: "Salary range: The hourly amount for this position can be found at the top of this posting. This role is covered by the Service Contract Act. For positions on this contract, we will pay the prevailing wage rate for the location in which the employee is working, as determined by the Department of Labor and the Wage Determination (WD). The wage rate will vary depending on the locality. Additionally, you will receive Health and Welfare Benefits based on the WD for the contract." Also later: "Benefits – Comprehensible benefits for full-time employees (part-time members receive a limited package tailored to their role): Medical, dental, and vision insurance Robust vacation and sick leave benefits, and flexible work arrangements where permitted by role or contract 401(k) plan that includes employer matching funds Tuition reimbursement program Life insurance and disability coverage Optional coverages that can be purchased, including pet insurance, home and auto insurance, additional life and accident insurance, critical illness insurance, group legal, ID theft protection Birth, adoption, parental leave benefits Employee Assistance Plan that includes counseling conditions Specific benefits are dependent upon the specific contract as well as whether the position is covered by a collective bargaining agreement or Service Contract Labor Standards." Also mention "Serco complies with all applicable state and local leave laws..." That's benefits info.
Pay: they say hourly amount can be found at top of posting (not given). They say wage rate varies depending on locality. That's not a specific number. According to rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. For Pay, they say wage rate varies depending on locality, not a specific number. That's essentially "varies". Should we include Pay section? The rule says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state that wage rate varies depending on locality, but that's not a specific figure. It's still stating something about pay (that it's prevailing wage). However the rule says avoid filler like "varies". The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". So if we include Pay heading, we must not have filler like "varies". The posting says "The wage rate will vary depending on the locality." That's essentially "varies". So we should not include Pay section because it would be filler. Similarly Schedule: no mention of schedule. So omit Schedule.
Benefits: they list specific benefits: medical, dental, vision, vacation, sick leave, flexible work arrangements, 401(k) with match, tuition reimbursement, life insurance, disability coverage, optional coverages, birth/adoption/parental leave, employee assistance plan, etc. That's substantive. So include Benefits section.
Now other sections: About the role: we have description of role, location, etc. Responsibilities: list of duties. Requirements: qualifications like citizenship, clearance, education, experience. Qualifications: maybe overlapping with requirements; but we need to decide which sections to include. The posting includes "To Be Successful In This Role You Will Have" list, plus "Additional Desired Experience And Skills". Could treat Requirements as mandatory, Qualifications as desired? Or combine. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including qualifications and desired skills), Benefits. Possibly also Skills? But we can incorporate skills into Requirements.
We must not repeat job title. Use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must include all details from the posting, but we can format them as lists or paragraphs. Must not omit any substantive info. That's a lot. We need to capture everything: location details, role description, tasks, etc.
