Employment Specialist
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key parts: - Location: Inland Empire, CA In-Person. This is metadata; maybe we can put in a short
at top? Not a heading. - Anticipated deadline: September 30. Position may close early if application limit met. Apply promptly. This is application instruction; we should remove application instructions per rule: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove deadline and apply promptly. - The Opportunity paragraph: description of role. - Role Tracks: description of two tracks. - Who We Are: description of CEO. - Who You Are: list of personal attributes. - Education And Experience: requirements. - Responsibilities: list. - Both Tracks: Job Placement Services: more responsibilities. - Administrative Support: more responsibilities. - Compensation And Benefits: salary $52,600, benefits description. - More About Us: mission statement, encouragement, CROWN Act, EEO statement (should remove EEO boilerplate). Also note about not contacting each applicant (application instruction) remove. - IND 1: maybe a code, drop. We need to produce sections: maybe About the role (The Opportunity + Role Tracks + Who We Are?), Responsibilities, Requirements (Education And Experience), Qualifications (Who You Are?), Skills (maybe combine?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we must only include sections if there is real specific content. We have Pay: salary $52,600. Benefits: description. Schedule: not mentioned (no schedule). So we should not include Schedule heading. We have Pay and Benefits separate? Could combine into Compensation And Benefits section. The rule says use headings like Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we can also have a combined section? It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid combining but likely they expect separate if content exists. We have both Pay and Benefits content. So we should create Pay
with salary, and Benefits
with benefits description.
We need About the role: could include The Opportunity paragraph and Role Tracks and Who We Are? The "About the role" could be a summary of role. We have The Opportunity paragraph describing role. Role Tracks describes two tracks. Who We Are is about organization, maybe not about role but could be included under About the role? Might be better to have About the role include The Opportunity and Role Tracks. Who We Are could be separate? But there is no heading for "About the organization". Not in list. Could put under About the role as well.
Qualifications: Who You Are list of personal attributes.
Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; we have interpersonal and written communication skills etc. Could be part of Qualifications. But we could create Skills section for those skills. However rule: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Who You Are (qualities) into Qualifications, and Skills maybe not needed.
Education And Experience: requirements.
Responsibilities: list.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (Education And Experience), Qualifications (Who You Are), Pay, Benefits.
Check if any content for Skills: we have "excellent interpersonal and written communication skills", "ability to adjust to particular personalities", "self-motivated, diligent, resilient", "comfortable working under pressure", "highly organized with top notch time management skills", "comfortable learning new technologies". These could be skills. But we already have Qualifications covering personal attributes; maybe we can put those under Qualifications. To avoid thin sections, we can not create Skills.
Now we need to preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must keep details like numbers, specifics.
We need to format lists with - . For prose use
.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, application instructions, etc.
Let's extract substantive content:
- Location: Inland Empire, CA In-Person. This is metadata; maybe include in a short
at top? Not a heading. Could be part of About the role? Might be okay to include as a paragraph.
- The Opportunity paragraph: "The Employment Specialist increases the range of employment opportunities available to our participants using participant interests, experiences, and their ambitions as a foundation for participant job placements, and more broadly, for the identification and cultivation of potential employers for prospect portfolios."
- Role Tracks: description of two tracks.
- Who We Are: description of CEO.
- Who You Are: list of attributes (multiple sentences). We need to preserve each attribute as separate list items? Could be a list.
- Education And Experience: bullet points? It's a paragraph with multiple sentences: "Employment Specialist: You have 2+ years of experience in workforce development, recruitment, or sales/account management, a role in which you needed to meet performance goals on a regular basisYou are skilled in networking and cultivating lasting relationships with people and businesses, helping them understand how our work can help them achieve their business strategy and goals You have experience in looking at a set of data or market research and use it to guide your practice and decision-making". We need to split into list items.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Both Tracks: Job Placement Services: more responsibilities.
- Administrative Support: more responsibilities.
- Compensation And Benefits: salary $52,600, benefits description.
- More About Us: mission statement etc. Might be considered About the role? Could be included under About the role as additional info about organization. But we already have Who We Are. Might combine.
We need to avoid duplication. The Who We Are paragraph is similar to More About Us but with some differences. We should keep both? They are somewhat overlapping but both contain substantive info. We could merge them but must preserve all info; merging is okay as long as we don't lose detail. We can combine into a single paragraph about the organization, ensuring we include all details from both.
Let's extract Who We Are:
"The Center for Employment Opportunities (CEO) provides employment services to people recently released from incarceration. Across the United States, 8,000-9,000 people participate in CEO each year, transitioning to employment that supports themselves, their families, and their communities. What began as a demonstration project of the Vera Institute of Justice in the 1970s to address employment barriers facing the formerly incarcerated following release in New York City has grown into the leading reentry employment organization in the country, where over 30,000 formerly incarcerated individuals have secured full-time employment since 1996."
More About Us:
"Center for Employment Opportunities believes that everyone deserves the chance to shape a stronger future for themselves, their families, and their communities. People who are justice involved are highly encouraged to apply for vacant positions at all levels. CEO is committed to the CROWN Act, and creating an open space where our employees can present as their true authentic selves. All qualified applicants will be considered for employment without unlawful discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, gender, gender identity, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, military status, prior record of arrest or conviction, citizenship status, current employment status, caregiver status, or any other category protected by federal, state, or local law. We value diverse experiences, including with regard to educational background and justice system contact."
We need to remove EEO boilerplate (the long list of protected categories). That is boilerplate; we should remove it. Also remove "All qualified applicants will be considered for employment without unlawful discrimination..." That's EEO boilerplate. So we should keep only the substantive parts: belief statement, encouragement to justice involved, commitment to CROWN Act, creating open space, valuing diverse experiences. We can keep those.
Thus combine:
- CEO provides employment services to people recently released from incarceration. Across US, 8k-9k participate each year, transitioning to employment supporting themselves, families, communities. Began as demonstration project of Vera Institute of Justice in 1970s to address employment barriers for formerly incarcerated following release in NYC; grown into leading reentry employment organization; over 30k formerly incarcerated individuals have secured full-time employment since 1996.
- CEO believes everyone deserves chance to shape stronger future; justice involved encouraged to apply; committed to CROWN Act; creating open space for employees to present as true authentic selves; values diverse experiences including educational background and justice system contact.
Now Who You Are list: many attributes. We'll turn each into
- .
Education And Experience: we need to parse into bullet points.
Original: "Employment Specialist: You have 2+ years of experience in workforce development, recruitment, or sales/account management, a role in which you needed to meet performance goals on a regular basisYou are skilled in networking and cultivating lasting relationships with people and businesses, helping them understand how our work can help them achieve their business strategy and goals You have experience in looking at a set of data or market research and use it to guide your practice and decision-making"
We can split:
- 2+ years of experience in workforce development, recruitment, or sales/account management, with regular performance goal achievement.
- Skilled in networking and cultivating lasting relationships with people and businesses, helping them understand how our work can help them achieve their business strategy and goals.
- Experience analyzing data or market research to guide practice and decision-making.
Now Responsibilities: we have a paragraph starting "Key responsibilities of the Employment Specialist include but are not limited to:" then a list of items separated by line breaks? The text includes many sentences. We need to extract each duty as list item.
Let's copy the responsibilities section:
"Key responsibilities of the Employment Specialist include but are not limited to: Business Analysis, Relationship Cultivation and Maintenance Envision, develop, and implement a strategic plan for placement services for a local office that ensures CEO meets its participant placement metricsConduct reviews of existing CEO business partnerships regularly, evaluate employer demand and usage of CEO services, and determine improvements and ways to leverage relationships with employersAchieve weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual placement goals in accordance with CEO’s contractual obligationsResearch, conduct outreach to, and build relationships with prospective employers willing to hire CEO participants and who have hiring needs that match the skills, experience, and interests of our overall participant cohortMaintain relationships with existing employer partners Schedule and conduct daily prospecting, cold calls, and face-to-face meetingsServe as the liaison among employers, participants, and our criminal justice partners Both Tracks: Job Placement Services You are expected to produce up to 5 monthly placementsScreen and match program participants with employment opportunities, taking into consideration each participant’s skills, work experience, interests, and goals and aspirationsCustomize participants’ resumes to fit identified opportunitiesManage a caseload of participants, support and coach them around applying for jobs, navigating the hiring process, and finding and securing right fit employment Account Specialist track: Provide placement support to participants in partnership with assigned vocational staff members coordinating on job readiness and application activityCommunicate employer requirements and opportunity details to vocational staff to support accurate participant matching Full Cycle track: Manage a caseload of participants, support and coach them around applying for jobs, navigating the hiring process, and finding and securing right fit employmentServe as the primary point of contact for assigned participants throughout the placement process Administrative Support Document all participant and employer contact, activities, and outcomes in our case management system (Salesforce)Supports the Site Director with administrative and operational duties to ensure the smooth and seamless operation of the sitePerform other job-related duties and responsibilities assigned from time to time Lead activities within or across offices related to your role’s specific outcomes and/or office needs (such as case conferencing responsibilities)"
We need to split into sensible list items. Could group by headings: Business Analysis, Relationship Cultivation and Maintenance; Both Tracks: Job Pl
