Schedule
with that sentence. Also maybe aWork Environment
but not in allowed headings list; but we could put under Schedule or maybe under About the role? Better to create Schedule heading for the schedule and maybe include environment details in a paragraph under Schedule or maybe a separate heading like Work Environment not required but we can still include if we want but instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says "usefor section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. Safer to stick to those. So we can put schedule info under Schedule heading. The work environment details could be included in About the role or maybe a separate paragraph under Schedule? We'll include schedule and maybe also mention work environment in same paragraph. - Pay And Benefits: There's a Pay range and benefits list. So we need Pay and Benefits sections. According to instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could combine Pay and Benefits into one section? But they are separate headings allowed. We'll create
Pay
with the pay range paragraph. AndBenefits
with the benefits list. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. The pay range is specific: $22.00 - $32.00/hr. That's substantive. Benefits list is substantive. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers, application instructions, boilerplate, EEO, etc. So we remove all that. We also need to remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, etc. So we strip out the Actalent description, equal opportunity, accommodation, SF Fair Chance, Massachusetts Lie Detector, AI use, etc. Also remove "Job Type & Location" maybe not needed as heading; but we could incorporate location into About the role or Schedule? The location is Madison, AL. Already in schedule. We'll keep location in schedule paragraph. We also need to remove "Application Deadline" etc. Now produce HTML fragment:About the role
