Chief Education Officer
for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. The headings we can use: maybe "About the role" for Position Overview and Mission? Could combine. "Responsibilities" for Primary Responsibilities. "Requirements" for Experience (maybe also Qualifications). "Skills" for Core Competencies. "Pay" for Compensation. "Benefits" for Benefits. "Schedule" maybe not present (they mention hybrid work environment 3 days per week in office, periodic weekend/evening work). That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that detail.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to remove duplicated "How to Apply" lines and EEO etc.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience and qualifications" in Pay? Actually Pay section we can include the salary range; the phrase "commensurate with experience and qualifications" is okay as it's part of the description but not filler? It's not placeholder like "TBD". It's actual statement. It's okay.
We must not create sections with only placeholder. So we will include sections: About the role (Mission + Position Overview), Responsibilities, Requirements (Experience), Skills (Core Competencies), Pay, Benefits, Schedule.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract.
