Assistant Maintainer (Cleaner) (Various Shifts Available)
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- About The Metropolitan Museum Of Art: description of museum, mission, values, etc. This is about the organization, not the role. Could be considered "About the role"? Not exactly. But we can treat as "About the Museum" maybe not needed? The instructions say we can use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should include sections only if there is real content. The posting includes "GENERAL DESCRIPTION:" which is about the role. Then "PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES & DUTIES:" list. Then "REQUIREMENTS & QUALIFICATIONS:" with subparts: EXPERIENCE & SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE & EDUCATION. Then "COMPENSATION RATE: Pay Rate: $21.1524 /Hourly". Then "Benefits Offerings" list. Also location requirements, visa sponsorship note, etc. Those could be considered minor metadata; we can fold into a short
or drop. The instructions: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So location requirements, visa sponsorship, etc can be in a paragraph.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, equal opportunity, etc. Also the line "We recognize that it is highly unlikely that someone meets 100% of the desired attributes for a role. If much of this job description describes you, then please apply for this role." That's application encouragement; maybe considered boilerplate? It's not exactly EEO but it's encouraging to apply. The instruction says remove application instructions. That line is encouraging to apply; could be considered application instruction. Safer to remove.
Also "The Met is committed to the full inclusion..." that's EEO; remove.
Also "The Metropolitan Museum of Art provides equal opportunity..." remove.
Also "Note: Benefits Offering may differ based on Employee Status." That's part of benefits; we can keep but maybe rephrase? It's substantive.
We need to preserve all substantive information: museum description, general description, responsibilities list, requirements (experience & skills, knowledge & education), compensation rate, benefits list, location requirements, visa sponsorship note maybe minor.
We need to decide sections.
Potential sections:
- About the Museum (maybe not a standard heading but we could use About the role? But it's about the museum. Could we use "About the role" for the general description? Actually "GENERAL DESCRIPTION:" is about the role. So we could put that under a heading like "About the role". The museum description could be omitted? It's substantive but maybe not needed for role. However instructions: "Preserve ALL substantive information". So we need to keep museum description somewhere. Could be a short paragraph before sections, not under a heading. That's allowed: we can have prose
outside headings. The instructions: Use
for section headings, - for any list,
for prose. So we can have a leading
with museum description.
Then we can have
About the role
with the GENERAL DESCRIPTION paragraph.
Then Responsibilities
with list.
Then Requirements
maybe combine experience & skills and knowledge & education? Or separate headings: Requirements and Qualifications? The instructions list possible headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could have Requirements
with experience & skills list, and Qualifications
with knowledge & education. Or combine.
Better to follow typical structure: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Since Pay is separate.
We have compensation rate: we can make Pay
with paragraph.
Benefits: Benefits
with list.
Location requirements and visa sponsorship: could be a short under maybe "Additional Information" but not a standard heading; we could just add a
after benefits.
We must not create sections with filler. So we need to ensure each heading has real content.
Let's extract content.
Museum description paragraph:
"The Met presents over 5,000 years of art from around the world for everyone to experience and enjoy. The Museum lives in two iconic sites in New York City—The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Cloisters. Millions of people also take part in The Met experience online. Since its founding in 1870, The Met has always aspired to be more than a treasury of rare and beautiful objects. We are committed to fostering a collaborative and respectful work environment with a staff as diverse as the audiences we engage. Our staff members are art lovers who are passionate about working toward a common goal: creating the most dynamic and inspiring art museum in the world. At The Met, every staff member – from security officers to researchers to scientists and beyond – lives by our core values of respect, inclusivity, collaboration, excellence, and integrity. Respect: Engage one another with collegiality, empathy, and kindness, always. Inclusivity: Ensure that all are and feel welcome and valued. Collaboration: Reach across boundaries to exchange ideas and work together toward our shared mission. Excellence: Lead the cultural world in quality and expertise—and inspire curiosity and creativity. Integrity: Hold ourselves to the highest moral standards, admit when we fall short, and then evolve."
That's a lot; we keep it.

We can put that in a paragraph.
Also there is a line: "We recognize that it is highly unlikely that someone meets 100% of the desired attributes for a role. If much of this job description describes you, then please apply for this role." That's application encouragement; remove.
Also EEO statements: remove.
