We need to extract sections:
- About the role: Could be the description/job preview and position summary. So we can combine.
- Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities Essential Duties & Responsibilities.
- Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The "Skills, Knowledge and Expertise" plus "REQUIRED TRAINING/CERTIFICATIONS" plus maybe "Physical Demands". Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. We need to decide which sections to include. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can include multiple of those if content exists. But we should prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements, Qualifications, Skills into one section maybe "Requirements" or "Skills". However they said we can use those headings. We need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. So we need to decide which headings have content.
We have:
- Pay: Compensation: $25.00 - $30.00 / hour. That's specific. So include Pay section.
- Schedule: "Schedule: Part Time Hours" plus details: "Position Summary ... hours are flexible ... 5-10 hours per week ... Afternoon and weekend morning availability preferred." Also "WORK ENVIRONMENT: The noise level ... The general schedule of this position is Saturday midmorning to late afternoon. Additional time may be required for performances." So schedule specifics exist. So include Schedule section.
- Benefits: The Benefits paragraph includes list. So include Benefits.
- About the role: The description/job preview and position summary. So include About the role.
- Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities. So include Responsibilities.
- Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: We have physical demands, skills, knowledge, expertise, required training/certifications. Could be split into Requirements and Skills. But we can combine into one section e.g., "Requirements". However we have separate headings allowed. To avoid many thin sections, we could make one "Requirements" section that includes physical demands, skills, knowledge, expertise, required training/certifications. That seems reasonable.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not include Qualifications or Skills separately if we combine.
We must not repeat job title. No headings for Job ID etc.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like age range 4-12, cheerleading dance, etc.
We need to format lists appropriately.
Let's extract content for each section.
About the role:
From "Description Job Preview The YMCA is searching for an energetic leader to engage and teach youth ages 4-12 in Cheerleading Dance. Our program serves youth from the community helping them develop confidence, dance skills, and relationships among each other."
And "Position Summary Under the direction of the Program Director the Cheerleading Dance Instructor will develop and facilitate dance lessons for various age groups. The program Is growing, so hours are flexible, classes will be added based on instructor availability. This is a part time position that will teach 5-10 hours per week based on program needs. Afternoon and weekend morning availability preferred."
We could combine into a paragraph.
Responsibilities:
List from "Key Responsibilities Essential Duties & Responsibilities:" then bullet points:
- Dance Instruction: Design and implement dance instruction in various forms of dance.
- Design and implement dance routines in collaboration with other instructors.
- Provide feedback to participants on technique.
- Grow the skill and confidence of participants.
- Manage classroom behavior.
- Maintain a positive, safe and youth focused environment in accordance with YMCA child protection and youth development best practices.
- YMCA Youth & Character Development: Serve as an adult role model to all students.
- Connect with students and parents on a group and individual basis.
- Help youth develop a strong Spirit, Mind and Body.
- Teach and emphasize the YMCA Core Values of Caring, Respect, Honesty and Responsibility.
- ADMINISTRATIVE DUTIES: Ensure participants in class are current on class roster.
- Design and implement curriculum.
- Other duties as assigned.
We need to preserve all. Could be a
with each as - . Some have colons inside; that's fine.
Requirements:
Combine:
Physical Demands:
- Ability to physically and verbally interact with members and staff.
- At times, be able to lift amounts up to 25 lbs.
- Ability to coordinate movement in line with Cheerleading and other forms of dance within expertise.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise:
- Previous experience working with youth and teens.
- Experienced in One or Multiple dance forms.
- Work as an integral member of a staff team.
- Ability to cultivate relationships and communicate effectively with adults, youth, and teens.
- CPR/AED and First Aid certifications (provided within 90 days)
Work Environment:
- The noise level in the work environment is usually moderate.
- The general schedule of this position is Saturday midmorning to late afternoon. Additional time may be required for performances. (But schedule already covered; maybe we note work environment.)
We could include work environment under Requirements as well.
But we already have Schedule section; we might not duplicate schedule details. However the work environment includes schedule mention; we could keep it under Requirements as "Work Environment". But we might avoid duplication. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep that sentence somewhere. If we put schedule details in Schedule section, we can still include the work environment sentence there or in Requirements. But we need to avoid duplication? Not explicitly forbidden, but better to avoid repeating same info. We could put the work environment sentence under Requirements as a note about noise level and schedule mention; but schedule section already covers schedule. Might be okay to have both mention schedule; but we risk duplication. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; duplication is not prohibited but could be considered redundant. I'd rather include the noise level and schedule mention under Requirements (or maybe under a separate "Work Environment" heading, but we don't have that heading in allowed list; we could put under Requirements). Then Schedule section can focus on part-time hours, 5-10 hrs/week, afternoon/weekend morning availability. That seems fine.
Thus Requirements section includes:
- Physical Demands bullets.
- Skills, Knowledge and Expertise bullets.
- Work Environment: noise level moderate; general schedule Saturday midmorning to late afternoon; additional time may be required for performances.
We need to ensure we don't miss any: "WORK ENVIRONMENT: The noise level in the work environment is usually moderate.The general schedule of this position is Saturday midmorning to late afternoon. Additional time may be required for performances." We'll include that.
