for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- Location: Anywhere in Country (maybe not needed)
- Intro paragraph: At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence... (some marketing fluff). Might be considered "About the role"? Possibly we can include as About the role.
- The Opportunity paragraph: description of role.
- Your Key Responsibilities: list of responsibilities (multiple bullet-like sentences). Should be a list.
- Skills And Attributes For Success: list of skills/attributes.
- To Qualify for the Role, You Must Have: qualifications (education, experience, specific areas). Could be Requirements or Qualifications.
- Ideally, You'll Also Have: additional preferred qualifications.
- What We Look For: maybe summary.
- What We Offer You: includes benefits and salary range. This includes Pay and Benefits.
- The salary range details: specific numbers per location.
- In addition, our Total Rewards package includes medical and dental coverage, pension and 401(k) plans, and a wide range of paid time off options.
Thus we have Pay (salary range) and Benefits (medical, dental, pension, 401(k), PTO). Also maybe Schedule? Not mentioned. Travel estimated 25–50% (that's travel, not schedule). No explicit schedule (e.g., full-time, part-time). So we should not create Schedule section because no specific schedule content.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (intro + opportunity), Responsibilities, Skills (maybe combine Skills And Attributes For Success), Qualifications (To Qualify + Ideally), Benefits, Pay.
We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each heading has substantive content.
We need to use
for each section heading.
Inside sections, use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose, use
.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep details like specific responsibilities bullet points, skills list, qualifications list, salary ranges, benefits.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So remove lines like "Are you ready to shape your future with confidence? Apply today." etc. Also remove "Learn more at ey.com/us/careers." etc. Also remove "To make the most of your application experience..." etc. Also remove EY values statements, equal employment opportunity, accommodation statements, etc.
We need to keep the substantive content: intro paragraphs, opportunity, responsibilities, skills, qualifications, ideally, what we look for? Might be redundant with skills. But we can incorporate into About the role or Skills. However we must not duplicate. We need to preserve all substantive info, but we can combine similar content if not duplicative? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Means we cannot omit details. But we can combine if we keep all details? Might be okay to rephrase? Probably better to keep as separate sections if they contain distinct info. However we must avoid thin sections. But we can have multiple sections if they have substantive content.
We need to decide which headings to use: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We can map:
- About the role: include the introductory paragraphs (At EY... The Opportunity...). Could be a couple paragraphs.
- Responsibilities: the "Your Key Responsibilities" bullet list.
- Requirements: maybe the "To Qualify for the Role, You Must Have" (education/experience, specific areas). Could be Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe the "Ideally, You'll Also Have" (preferred qualifications). Could be Qualifications.
- Skills: the "Skills And Attributes For Success" list.
- Benefits: the benefits paragraph (medical, dental, pension, 401(k), PTO). Also maybe mention travel? Travel is not a benefit but maybe part of schedule? Not schedule. We'll keep travel under Responsibilities? Actually travel mentioned under "Willingness to travel based on client and business needs; travel estimated at 25–50%." That is a requirement maybe. Could be placed under Requirements or Responsibilities? It's a condition. Might be part of Requirements. We'll include it under Requirements as a bullet.
- Pay: the salary range details.
- Schedule: none, so omit.
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. We have Pay and Benefits, so include them.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual numbers.
Now we need to format.
We'll produce something like:
