Director, Child Development & Family Support
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use Qualifications as separate from Requirements? Might be redundant. But we can choose to use Requirements for minimum qualifications, Qualifications for preferred/additional? However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine into Requirements (including minimum, preferred, additional). Skills separate. Pay and Schedule separate if present. Benefits: we need to see if any benefits mentioned. Not really; there is no explicit benefits like health insurance, retirement, etc. So we should not create Benefits section.
Pay: Compensation range given: $96,136 – $144,263 Annually. So we need Pay section.
Schedule: 40 hours per week, Monday – Friday. Also Remote Eligibility: On-Site (Not eligible for remote work). So schedule section.
We also have Working Conditions details; could be part of Responsibilities? Not exactly. Could be part of Requirements? Not. Might be omitted as not fitting headings. But we could include under Responsibilities? Not appropriate. Might be omitted as not required heading. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we can omit Working Conditions if no heading matches. There's no heading for Working Conditions. So we omit.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all substantive info from the posting within the allowed sections. That means we need to embed details like Employee Group, Classification, Employment Type, FLSA Status, etc. Those are substantive but not fitting any heading. Could we put them under Requirements? They are job details, not qualifications. Could we put them under About the role? Possibly as part of summary? But they are not summary. The instruction says we can use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to fit all substantive info into those sections. If some info doesn't fit, we might need to create a section like "Job Details" but not allowed. However we could embed them under Requirements or Qualifications as extra bullet points? Might be okay if we treat them as part of Requirements (job requirements). But they are not requirements; they are job classification details. However we could still include them under Requirements as they are details about the job. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we must include them somewhere. If we put them under Requirements, it's not inaccurate; they are details about the job. Might be acceptable.
Similarly, Working Conditions details could be placed under Responsibilities? Not really. Could be under Requirements as well? Might be okay.
But we need to avoid creating sections with filler. We'll create sections: About the role (Job Summary). Responsibilities (Essential Duties + Additional Duties). Requirements (Minimum Qualifications, Additional Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Job Details, Working Conditions). Skills (Skills + Knowledge Of + Abilities). Pay (Compensation). Schedule (Schedule + Remote Eligibility). Ensure we don't repeat content.
We must use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities we need a list. For Requirements we need a list (maybe separate sublists?). For Skills we need a list. For Pay we can just put a
. For Schedule a
.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: application deadline, submission instructions, EEO, etc. Also remove lines like "For best consideration, please submit application materials by October 9, 2026." etc. Also remove "To be considered for this role, please submit a complete application including Employment History, Resume & Cover Letter." Also remove "Please include all relevant education..." etc? That's part of Salary Placement; it's substantive? It's about how to consider experience for salary placement. Might be considered substantive but maybe we can keep under Pay or Requirements? It's about salary placement. Could be included under Pay as a note. It's not boilerplate; it's about how salary placement works. We'll keep it under Pay.
Also remove "Hired employees will not have an opportunity to update past experience or appeal initial placement after the time of hire." That's also about salary placement; keep under Pay.
Also remove "Post-offer fitness for duty evaluation (including TB screening and health appraisal) within 30 days of hire date." That's under Additional Qualifications; keep.
Also remove "Must be enrolled in the Oregon Central Background Registry prior to beginning employment, and enrollment must be maintained throughout employment." Keep.
Also remove "Must complete required Oregon Department of Early Learning and Care Self-Study Trainings within 30 days of hire". Keep.
Also remove "Current driver’s license, insurance, and access to a reliable automobile during work hours. Must have at least three (3) years of driving history." Keep.
Also remove "At the College’s discretion, equivalent combinations of education and experience may be substituted on a year-for-year basis." Keep.
Also remove "Bilingual skills with oral and written fluency in English and Spanish, Russian, or another language that meets the community/department’s needs." Keep under Preferred Qualifications.
Also remove "Extensive knowledge of Head Start/Early Head Start performance standards, policies, trends, and issues." Keep under Preferred Qualifications.
Also remove "Ability To Additional Qualifications and/or Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (KSAs)" list; we will treat as Skills/KSAs.
Also remove "Skills In Strategic thinking, change management, and project management skills..." etc. Keep under Skills.
Also remove "Knowledge Of State, local, and federal early learning childcare programs..." etc. Keep under Skills or maybe separate Knowledge but we don't have heading; we can include under Skills as knowledge.
Also remove "Working Conditions and Important Information Job Details Employee Group: CDFS Management Classification: CDFS Management – Range 10 Employment Type: Full-Time (1.0 FTE) FLSA Status: Exempt (Salaried) Compensation: $96,136 – $144,263 Annually Schedule: 40 hours per week, Monday – Friday Remote Eligibility: On-Site (Not eligible for remote work) Working Conditions ..."
