for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section only when posting has real, specific content. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay/Schedule/Benefits only if posting actually states them.
We have content: Job Description: Cybersecurity Instructor Colorado Springs, CO. Then "Before You Apply" with details: full-time W-2 position with Allyon. Active TS/SCI security clearance required. Bachelor’s degree in IT, Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or related field, or equivalent certifications and experience required. 3+ years cybersecurity experience with focus on training or course development required. Candidates cannot proceed without meeting required qualifications. Allyon does not sponsor security clearances and does not offer C2C opportunities.
Then "Why this Role Matters" paragraph.
Then "What You Will Do" bullet list (duties). Then "Required Qualifications" list (including degree, certifications, etc). Then "Preferred Qualifications". Then "What’s In It For You" describing benefits, total rewards, salary range $120k-$130k. Then "About Allyon". Then "The Bottom Line". Also mention "Local to Colorado Springs, CO and able to work onsite 5 days/week". That's schedule info.
We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe "Why this Role Matters" or overview). Responsibilities (What You Will Do). Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications). Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications). Skills (maybe list of technical skills). Benefits (What’s In It For You). Pay (salary range). Schedule (onsite 5 days/week). Also maybe "About Allyon" could be omitted? Not a required heading; we could include as "About the Company" but not in list. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should prefer those. We can include About Allyon as a paragraph maybe under About the role? But we should not invent headings not listed unless needed. However we can include a paragraph about Allyon as part of About the role or separate but not a heading? The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests we can use those headings; not that we cannot use others, but better to stick to those. We can include About Allyon as a paragraph under About the role or maybe as a separate section "About the Company" but not in list; maybe we can omit it as not required? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include info about Allyon somewhere. Could embed in a
under About the role or maybe under a heading "About Allyon" but that is not in the list; but we could still use
for About Allyon? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but to be safe we could treat About Allyon as part of About the role (since it's about the company). Or we could add a heading "About Allyon" as but it's not in the example list; but the instruction says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." implies those are examples, not exclusive. So we can use other headings as needed. But to be safe, we can include About Allyon as a paragraph under About the role.
We need to remove boilerplate: "Before You Apply" maybe not needed as heading; we can incorporate its content into Requirements or a short paragraph. Also "Candidates cannot proceed..." is part of requirements. Also "Allyon does not sponsor security clearances and does not offer C2C opportunities" is metadata; we can fold into a short
