Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.

- Intro paragraph about YMCA: "As a thought-leader ... serving in Atlanta. Today, we’re looking for you to join us as we carry out our mission to positively impact lives and communities across the state. At the Y, we’re an association of like-minded people (staff, volunteers, and members), on the forefront of a movement to ensure that everyone -- especially children -- experience an equal opportunity to reach their full potential. In the course of a year, we provide more than 3,000 children, ages 6 weeks through Pre-K with high-quality literacy and STEAM-infused learning; give 58,000 youth and teens access to sports, aquatics, day and resident camps, teen leadership development programs, and employment opportunities; provide over 200,000 members with programs, services, and facilities to enjoy connection and maintain wellness regardless of age; and engage over 25,000 volunteers and donors from across Atlanta to share in the gift of supporting their communities."
That's about the organization; could be "About the role"? Actually it's about the organization. Could be "About the role" or "About the YMCA". The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use "About the role" for that intro.
Then "Nature And Scope Under the direction of the Afterschool Program Director(s) and Site Director, the Site Counselor is responsible for leading assigned group in various planned activities to support the overall goals of the program. Planning and implementing activities for elementary age children that builds upon the skills needed to be successful in school. All decisions must be guided by Bright from the Start and the YMCA standards."
That could be part of responsibilities or description. Could be "About the role" as well. But we already used that. Could combine.
Then "RESPONSIBILITIES (including, But Not Limited To)" list.
List items:
- Operate the program according to BFTS and YMCA policies and procedures.
- Create an environment that provides various activities and instruction to support program goals.
- Operate and deliver the program in compliance with YMCA and BFTS regulations.
- Discuss and report any concerns with the Site Director.
- Maintain personal file to remain in compliance with Bright From the Start and the YMCA.
- Compile attendance records and other pertinent information required by the program, as needed.
- Coordinate supply orders with the Site Director.
- Attend BFTS, YMCA and other trainings as scheduled. Maintain BFTS annual trainings hours.
- Consult with the Site Director on concerns related to student(s) development or behavior.
- Provide input into the planning and development of the program.
- Complete monthly self-assessments of the program, as needed.
- Assist students with virtual learning assignments as required by their school district.
- Perform other duties as related to the delivery of a quality afterschool program.
Then "s Guidelines and Non-Negotiables. Emphasis will be placed on member service, program knowledge, member/staff safety, and communication with members and staff." This seems like a fragment; maybe part of responsibilities or guidelines. Could be part of responsibilities.
Then "Requirements" heading appears. List:
- Must be 18 years of age
- Must possess a minimum credential that meets BFTS requirement and HS Diploma or equivalent
- Have prior experience working with school-age children in a group setting. A licensed setting and supervision of staff in a school-age setting is a plus
- Have current evidence of successful completion of biennial training in CPR/First Aid or be able to obtain within 30 days of hire
- Excellent verbal/written communication skills
- Have experience with Microsoft Office software, including Word, Excel, and Power Point, as well as, internet technology platforms such as Google Classroom and Zoom
- Must receive a cleared GCIC/NCIC and a cleared Fingerprint check through Bright From the Start before working. Annual GCIC checks will be conducted before each school year begin
Then "Ergonomic Requirements Bending, stooping, standing, sitting, lifting up to thirty pounds, seeing, hearing, keyboard input."
Then "Employment and Benefits package for this job posting is offered through the YMCA of Metropolitan Atlanta, Inc."
Then "Employment Requirement Ability to pass a pre-employment background check including Criminal Record check, Drug Screening, motor vehicle record (MVR) and reference check according to company policy. Must be legally eligible to work in the US without current or future sponsorship. This job posting is subject to change at any time."
Then "The YMCA of Metropolitan Atlanta offers excellent benefits and career opportunities as part of our culture of excellence. The opportunities to serve are vast, and we’re looking for like minded people, who share our values of CARING, HONESTY, RESPECT, and RESPONSIBILITY to join us and do their best work."
Then "The YMCA of Metropolitan Atlanta does not discriminate in employment opportunities or practices based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristics protected by law."
Then "Location: Ed Isakson / Alpharetta YMCA"
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The EEO statement is boilerplate; we should remove it. Also "This job posting is subject to change at any time." maybe boilerplate? Might be considered generic; but it's substantive? It's a notice; could be removed as boilerplate. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove the EEO statement. Also maybe remove "This job posting is subject to change at any time." as it's generic; but not sure. It's not explicitly listed; but could be considered boilerplate. Safer to keep? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. That line is not exactly those categories; it's a change notice. Might be okay to keep. But we could drop as it's not substantive. I'd keep it maybe under a generic note? But better to keep only substantive info. I'd remove it.
Also "Employment and Benefits package for this job posting is offered through the YMCA of Metropolitan Atlanta, Inc." is a sentence about benefits; we can include under Benefits section.
We need to decide sections:
- About the role (intro + nature and scope)
- Responsibilities (list)
- Requirements (list)
- Qualifications? Might be overlapping with Requirements; but we can keep Requirements as qualifications. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can have Requirements and maybe Skills separate. The requirements list includes skills like communication, Microsoft Office, etc. Could split into Requirements (age, credential, experience, CPR, background check) and Skills (communication, MS Office, Google Classroom, Zoom). But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine into Requirements and include skills within that list. Or we could have a Skills section for the software/communication. Let's see: The posting has "Excellent verbal/written communication skills" and "Have experience with Microsoft Office software, including Word, Excel, and Power Point, as well as, internet technology platforms such as Google Classroom and Zoom". Those are skills. Could make a Skills section.
Also "Ergonomic Requirements" could be part of Requirements or a separate section like Physical Requirements. Not in the list of headings but we could incorporate into Requirements.
Benefits: we have "Employment and Benefits package for this job posting is offered through the YMCA of Metropolitan Atlanta, Inc." and later "The YMCA of Metropolitan Atlanta offers excellent benefits and career opportunities as part of our culture of excellence." That's benefits info. No specific details like health insurance, retirement, etc. It's vague but still mentions benefits. The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state benefits exist, though not detailed. So we can include a Benefits section with that statement.
Pay: not mentioned, so omit.
Schedule: not mentioned, omit.
Location: could be included in About the role or a separate section? Not in headings list but we could add a short paragraph under About the role or maybe a separate "Location" heading not in list; but instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those examples. Safer to include location within About the role paragraph.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Job title is "Site Counselor". Not used.

Benefits
Employment and Benefits package for this job posting is offered through the YMCA of Metropolitan Atlanta, Inc. The YMCA of Metropolitan Atlanta offers excellent benefits and career opportunities as part of our culture of excellence.
We might also include the values statement: "The opportunities to serve are vast, and we’re looking for like minded people, who share our values of CARING, HONESTY, RESPECT, and RESPONSIBILITY to join us and do their best work."
