Athletics Educator
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real content. The posting includes Job Purpose (maybe About the role). Essential Responsibilities (Responsibilities). Qualifications (Qualifications). Job Competencies (maybe Skills). Organization Competencies (maybe also Skills). Mental And Physical Demands (maybe Requirements? but could be part of Requirements). Terms and Conditions of Employment (maybe not needed). Also there is "Job Title: Athletic Educator Reports to: Manager, Athletic Programs FLSA Status: Exempt Aligned Executive: President and CEO Kīpuka: Liliʻuokalani Center Department: Liliʻuokalani Center – Athletics". We should not repeat job title as heading; we can fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include a
with that metadata. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. So we drop the Equal Opportunity Employer paragraph. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include content from Job Purpose, Essential Responsibilities (with subheadings? but we just need to list duties). We can put responsibilities as
- items. Could group by subheadings? Not required; just list.
Qualifications: list bullet points.
Skills: maybe combine Job Competencies and Organization Competencies into Skills section.
Mental And Physical Demands: could be Requirements? Might be separate section like Requirements? The instruction says use headings for section headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have Requirements for mental/physical demands and maybe other requirements like driver's license etc. But Qualifications already covers education/experience etc. So Requirements could be mental/physical demands and certifications etc. However we have certifications in Qualifications. Might be overlapping. Better to treat Qualifications as education/experience etc. And Requirements as mental/physical demands and maybe certifications? But we already have certifications in Qualifications. Let's see: Qualifications list includes Bachelor's degree, experience, demonstrated experience, familiarity with culture, driver's license, TB clearance, First Aid/CPR, knowledge, ability to work etc. That's a mix. So maybe we put all that under Qualifications. Then Requirements could be mental/physical demands (lift 50 pounds, stand, etc). Also maybe "Ability to work flexible hours" is in Qualifications. So we can put mental/physical demands under Requirements.
Skills: Job Competencies and Organization Competencies.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We must not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule unless stated. Not present.
Thus sections: About the role (Job Purpose), Responsibilities (Essential Responsibilities), Qualifications, Requirements (Mental And Physical Demands), Skills (Job Competencies + Organization Competencies). Possibly also a short
for metadata. Let's craft. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include each bullet from Essential Responsibilities sub-sections. We'll flatten into list items.
