We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The text includes "ATTENTION MILITARY AFFILIATED JOB SEEKERS - Our organization works with partner companies to source qualified talent for their open roles. The following position is available to Veterans, Transitioning Military, National Guard and Reserve Members, Military Spouses, Wounded Warriors, and their Caregivers. If you have the required skill set, education requirements, and experience, please click the submit button and follow the next steps." This is like a call to action; we should remove application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. That includes "please click the submit button and follow the next steps." Also the initial sentence about organization works with partner companies maybe considered boilerplate? It's not exactly legal/EEO but it's generic intro. Might be considered boilerplate; but we need to preserve ALL substantive information. The substantive info includes that it's remote, excluded locations, role description, duties, qualifications, pay, schedule, etc. The intro about organization works with partner companies and military affiliated job seekers may be considered not essential but could be considered part of description. However the instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The intro is not exactly those categories, but it's more like a marketing blurb. Might be okay to keep? But we need to decide. Usually they'd want to keep the role description but not the fluff about organization works with partner companies. However it's not explicitly prohibited. Safer to keep it? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we keep other text. So we can keep the first paragraph as prose.
But we need to format into sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide what goes where.
- About the role: could be a brief summary of the role (the paragraph about providing quality customer care, remote role, excluded locations). Could include the description of what the role does.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (the day in the life bullet points). Use
- .
- Requirements: maybe education and experience requirements (High School/GED, 1-2 years customer service experience, etc.) Could also include required equipment? Might be better under Requirements or Qualifications.
- Qualifications: maybe preferred experience (Healthcare, HR Services, Financial Services) and skills (communication, customer care, fast-paced, problem-solving, multi-tasking, ability to hardwire equipment, on-camera visibility). Could also include required equipment.
- Skills: maybe separate list of skills (verbal/written communication, customer care focus, fast-paced, problem-solving, apply feedback, multi-tasking, hardwire equipment, on-camera visibility). But we might combine.
- Benefits: Not explicitly stated besides pay rate? No benefits like health insurance, etc. Not given. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not mention benefits besides pay. So skip Benefits.
- Pay: include Pay Rate: $18/hour. Also maybe start date? Start date could be under Pay? Or maybe under About the role? The instruction says include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state Pay Rate. So we create a Pay section with that info. Could also include start date? Not pay. Could put start date under About the role or maybe a separate section? Not required. We could include start date in About the role as prose.
- Schedule: include training schedule and post-training schedule, plus note about varying shifts and overtime. So we create Schedule section with details.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Auto req ID 483398BR should be dropped or folded into short p. We can drop it.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's craft.
First, maybe a short p for metadata: "Remote role (excluding listed states). Military-affiliated candidates encouraged." But we can incorporate into About the role.
Let's structure:
