Beauty Advisor - Clinique, Short Hills - Full Time
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.
Thus we need to decide which sections have real content.
Let's extract sections:
- Job Overview: description of role. Could map to "About the role". That's a heading.
- "How Our Beauty Colleagues Spend Their Day…" details daily activities. Could be part of Responsibilities.
- "Full-time colleagues are typically scheduled to work 30 or more hours per week, while part-time colleagues are typically scheduled 12-24 hours per week. All schedules contain weekend shifts as part of the requirements. Hours are dependent on business needs and colleague availability. Information regarding hours per week needed for benefit eligibility purposes can be found here." This is schedule info. So we can have a Schedule section.
- "Who You Are" bullet list: flexible availability, etc. This is Requirements/Qualifications/Skills. Could be Requirements.
- "Essential Physical Requirements" list: physical demands. Could be Requirements or Qualifications.
- "What We Can Offer You" paragraph about benefits: dynamic inclusive environment, competitive pay and benefits, comprehensive health and wellness coverage, 401(k) match, paid time off, eight paid holidays, continuous learning, leadership development, colleague resource groups, volunteer opportunities. Then "Some Additional Benefits We Offer Include" list: merchandise discounts, performance-based incentives, annual merit review, Employee Assistance Program with mental health counseling and legal/financial advice. Also later: "Benefits include 401k, medical/vision/dental/life/disability insurance options, PTO accruals, Holidays, and more." Also "Eligible for Sales Commission". So we have benefits content.
- Pay: The posting mentions "competitive pay" but no specific numbers. Also "performance-based incentives/bonuses". Also "Eligible for Sales Commission". There's no explicit pay rate. The instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. For Pay, we have mention of competitive pay, performance-based incentives, sales commission. That is somewhat specific? It says competitive pay (no number). Is that considered real content? It's not a specific number, but it's stating that pay is competitive and includes incentives/commission. The instruction says 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. "Competitive pay" is vague but still a statement about pay. Is that considered filler? It's not a specific number but it's a statement. The examples of filler include "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". "Competitive pay" is similar to "commensurate with experience"? Might be considered vague but not exactly those examples. However, the instruction says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state something about pay (competitive pay, performance-based incentives, sales commission). So we could include a Pay section with that info.
- Schedule: we have schedule details (full-time 30+ hours, part-time 12-24, weekend shifts). That's specific enough. So Schedule section.
- Benefits: we have many specifics. So Benefits section.
Now other sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide how to split.
We have:
- Job Overview (About the role) - prose.
- How Our Beauty Colleagues Spend Their Day… - daily activities (could be Responsibilities).
- Who You Are - list of requirements (flexible availability, communication, etc.) - could be Requirements.
- Essential Physical Requirements - physical demands - could be Qualifications or Requirements.
- Also there is "At least 1 year of customer service or selling experience required" - that's a requirement.
- Also "Meeting and surpassing daily sales goals by delivering exceptional service" etc. That's responsibilities.
- Also "Responsible for acquiring new customers by opening credit accounts and sharing loyalty benefits" - responsibilities.
- Also "Effectively use point-of-sale technology and digital tools to streamline transactions and enhance the shopping experience" - responsibilities/skills.
- Also "Deliver personalized beauty experiences by building relationships with customers, uncovering their needs, demonstrating product application, and educating them on the benefits and use of beauty products." - responsibilities.
- Also "Drive sales and client loyalty by maintaining an organized and shoppable space, leveraging clienteling tools to promote offers and product launches, participating in sales events, and staying up to date through ongoing training and vendor education." - responsibilities.
Thus we can have:
- About the role (Job Overview + intro story maybe)
- Responsibilities (list of duties)
- Requirements (flexible availability, communication, experience, physical requirements)
- Qualifications (maybe education? Not mentioned. Could be omitted.)
- Skills (maybe product knowledge, trend awareness, clienteling, POS tech) - could be separate.
But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But the instruction says we can use those headings if we have content. We could have Requirements (including experience, availability, physical) and Skills (product knowledge, communication, tech). Qualifications maybe not needed if no specific qualifications like degree, certification. So we could omit Qualifications.
Similarly Skills could be included.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler. Let's see if we have enough for each.
About the role: we have the introductory story and job overview. That's substantive.
Responsibilities: we have many duty statements.
Requirements: we have flexible availability, communication, reading policies, at least 1 year experience, physical requirements.
Skills: we have product knowledge, trend awareness, clienteling, POS tech, ability to build relationships, etc.
Benefits: we have list.
Pay: we have competitive pay, performance-based incentives, sales commission.
Schedule: we have full-time/part-time hours, weekend shifts.
Thus we can include all these sections.
Now we must format using
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "Cosmetic Sales Colleague - also known as a Beauty Advisor". We must not use that as heading.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. There's "BEAUTY00" maybe a code; we should drop it.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove application instructions like "Apply Today!" maybe considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should drop "Join us and help write the next chapter in our story - Apply Today!" and similar.
Also remove "This job description is not all-inclusive..." etc.
Also remove "Access the full menu of benefits offerings here." maybe considered a link; we can drop.
Also remove "Information regarding hours per week needed for benefit eligibility purposes can be found here." maybe drop as it's a link.
Also remove "Additional benefit details are available at macysJOBS.com." drop.
Also remove "Eligible for Sales Commission" maybe keep as part of Pay or Benefits? It's about compensation; could be Pay.
Now we need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to keep the details about benefits, schedule, etc.
Let's extract substantive content pieces:
Intro story: "Be part of an amazing story Macy’s is more than just a store. We’re a story. One that’s captured the hearts and minds of America for more than 160 years. A story about innovations and traditions…about inspiring stores and irresistible products…about the excitement of the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks, and the wonder of the Thanksgiving Day Parade. We’ve been part of memorable moments and milestones for countless customers and colleagues. Those stories are part of what makes this such a special place to work."
Job Overview: "As a Cosmetic Sales Colleague - also known as a Beauty Advisor - you are the trusted expert our customers turn to for all things beauty. Passionate about both products and people, you play a key role in creating a personalized and inspiring shopping experience that builds confidence and drives sales.

By combining genuine hospitality, strong product knowledge, and a passion for beauty, you’ll help every customer leave feeling confident, cared for, and excited to return."
How Our Beauty Colleagues Spend Their Day…: We need to capture that as responsibilities.
Let's extract the responsibilities paragraph:
"Our colleagues begin each day energized and ready to make an impact. They wear their name badge with pride, greet teammates with a warm hello, and help ensure the sales floor is clean, organized, and prepared for customers. Before getting started, they review their sales goals, learn about new arrivals and top-selling items, and stay up to date on current trends and promotions - so they’re fully informed and ready to engage, educate, and sell with confidence.On the floor, they focus on the customer - offering a warm welcome, making eye contact, and creating friendly, personal conversations to create customer relationships to bring the customers back.Throughout the day, they maintain a shoppable space by maintaining the counter and sales floor, refresh signage and pricing, and assist with merchandise moves as needed to support a seamless customer experience. .They always Finish Strong - sharing our Loyalty program benefits, making sure customers have all they need, and ending with a sincere thank-you, often walking the package around and using the customer’s name. We believe service starts with each other - supporting one another with honesty, care, and collaboration so we can better serve our customers and communities.And we know that excellence is a journey - we strive to improve every day, take pride in our work, achieve sales goals and learn from each other to deliver individual and store results."
Note there is a stray period before "They always". We'll keep as is.
