for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. The headings we can use: maybe "About the role" for general summary, "Responsibilities" for essential functions, "Marginal Functions" maybe not a standard heading but we could include under Responsibilities? The instruction says use those headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings where appropriate. We can have multiple sections: About the role (general summary + corporate philosophy/policy?), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (minimum knowledge, skills, ability), Qualifications (maybe education/experience?), Skills (maybe equipment/tools?), Benefits (none), Pay (none), Schedule (we have shift info: Rotating Shift, Employment Type Full time). So we can include Schedule section with that info. Benefits: none, so omit. Pay: none, omit.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details from essential functions list etc. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not include headings with filler text. So only include sections where we have content.
Let's extract:
- About the role: Could include General Summary, Corporate Philosophy Statement, Corporate Policy Statement, HIPAA Security Compliance, Reporting Relationships, Our Commitment (maybe but that's EEO-ish). Our Commitment includes EEO statement; we should remove EEO boilerplate. The "Our Commitment" paragraph is about mission and core values, not EEO; but then after that there is EEO statement. We'll keep the mission paragraph but discard the EEO line. The mission paragraph: "Our Commitment Rooted in our Mission and Core Values, we honor the dignity of every person and recognize the unique perspectives, experiences, and talents each colleague brings. By finding common ground and embracing our differences, we grow stronger together and deliver more compassionate, person-centered care." That's substantive; we can include under About the role.
- Responsibilities: Essential Functions list (bullet points). Also maybe Marginal Functions could be considered responsibilities but we could include under Responsibilities as well, but we could also have a separate section? Not in allowed headings. Could put marginal functions under Responsibilities as well, but we need to preserve all info. We'll include both essential and marginal under Responsibilities as separate
maybe with headings inside? But we cannot add extra headings besides . We could wrap them in
with bold? Not allowed? We can use
for prose; we could include a
label like "Essential Functions:" then
. That's okay.
- Requirements: Minimum Knowledge, Skills and Ability Required list (includes ability to read/write, HS diploma preferred, previous experience preferred, ability to operate equipment, proof of Mandatory Reporter abuse training). Also Physical Demand Requirements, Physical Activity Requirements, Visual Acuity Requirements, Intellectual/Emotional Requirements, Equipment/Tools, Working Conditions could be considered Requirements or Qualifications. But we have separate headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide mapping.
We could treat:
- Requirements: Minimum Knowledge, Skills and Ability Required (the list).
- Qualifications: Education/experience preferences? Actually that's part of Minimum Knowledge list. Could also include Physical Demand etc as Qualifications? Hmm.
- Skills: Equipment/Tools list.
But we also have Physical Demand etc which are not exactly skills but requirements. Could put them under Requirements as well.
We need to avoid too many thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. So maybe we have:
- About the role (summary, philosophy, policy, HIPAA, reporting, commitment)
- Responsibilities (essential functions + marginal functions)
- Requirements (minimum knowledge, skills, ability; physical demands; physical activity; visual acuity; intellectual/emotional; working conditions)
- Skills (equipment/tools)
- Schedule (employment type full time, shift rotating)
We must not include Benefits or Pay.
We must ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now we need to format.
We'll produce:
About the role
... (combined prose)
