We should not include Schedule. Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "EEO", "Application Statements", etc. Check that we didn't repeat job title as heading. We didn't. We used for each section.
We used - for lists,
for prose.
We preserved all substantive information: we included company description? Actually we omitted the "About Peraton" paragraph. Is that substantive? It's company overview; but the instruction says we should include sections only when posting has real, specific content for it. The "About Peraton" is not under a heading like "About the role". It's generic company description. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not navigation/legal/EEO but it's still generic marketing. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The About Peraton is not explicitly listed as boilerplate to remove, but it's not specific to the role. However we have "About the role" section which we already captured the role-specific content. The generic company description could be considered boilerplate but not explicitly prohibited. However to be safe, we could include it as part of About the role? But the instruction says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So they expect About the role heading to contain role-specific info. The generic company description is not role-specific; maybe we should omit it. It's not required to preserve all substantive information? The instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The company description is substantive about the company, but not about the role. However it's still part of the posting. But the instruction also says "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." It doesn't explicitly say to drop company description. However the focus is on reformatting a job posting into clean HTML; likely they'd want to keep the company description as part of About the role or maybe a separate section like "About Peraton". But they only gave a list of possible headings; they didn't include "About the company". So maybe we should incorporate it into About the role as a brief intro. But we already have a paragraph about the role
