for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: EEO etc. The WHY JOIN US includes Equal Opportunity Employer line - that's boilerplate; we should remove it. Also "As an Equal Opportunity Employer..." remove.
We need to keep benefits: medical, dental, vision coverage, generous paid time off including vacation days and paid holidays.
We need to keep mission statement content.
We need to keep POSITION OVERVIEW content.
We need to keep KEY ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS content as list items.
We need to keep REQUIREMENTS content as list items.
We need to keep WHY JOIN US content (benefits) as list items.
We must not include headings with filler text.
We need to decide which headings to use: About the role (mission + position overview?), Responsibilities (key essential functions), Requirements (requirements), Benefits (why join us). Possibly also Qualifications/Skills but we can combine into Requirements.
We should not create sections like Skills if not separate.
Thus output:
About the role
MISSION STATEMENT content...
POSITION OVERVIEW content...
But we need to preserve all substantive information; we could combine mission statement and position overview into one or two
s. Probably two
s.
Then
Responsibilities
- ... each essential function as list item.
Then Requirements
- ... each requirement as list item.
Then Benefits
- ... each benefit as list item.
We must not include Pay or Schedule.
Check that we didn't include any boilerplate: remove EEO line.
Now extract the substantive text.
