Freelance Food Writer – Tasting Table

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. Must not repeat job title. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, application instructions. Also remove "How to Apply" etc. Also remove "About Static Media" maybe not needed? It's about company but could be considered "About the role"? Probably not; it's about company, not role. We can maybe include as part of About the role? But instructions: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include those headings if content exists. We need to preserve all substantive information: description of Tasting Table, what they do, looking for freelance writers, two paths (News Writer, Feature Writer) with pay rates, schedule, location requirements, what you'll do (claim and complete articles, deliver accurate content, follow style guide), example topics, what we offer (paid trial assignment $60, reliable pay twice-monthly, flexible schedule, fully remote, high visibility), what you'll need (experience, food coverage, CMS comfort, research skills, grammar, attention to detail), why you want to work here (work with top-tier team, reach millions, flexible remote, reliable pay). Also mention "In addition, all content on Static Media’s websites is created exclusively by human writers. Submissions containing AI-generated material during the hiring process will not be accepted." That's maybe a requirement? Could be part of Requirements or Qualifications. Also note about Static Media description maybe not needed. We must not include application instructions (How to Apply). So we remove that paragraph. We also must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences. We need to decide sections: - About the role: could include description of Tasting Table and what they're looking for (freelance writers). Could also include two ways to contribute. - Responsibilities: what you'll do (claim and complete articles, deliver accurate content, follow style guide, etc.) - Requirements: maybe experience needed (at least 1 year editorial/professional writing experience, experience covering food etc., comfort working in CMS, strong research skills, grammar, attention to detail, no AI-generated content). Also location requirements for Feature writers (must be based in US). Could also include that news writers may be based anywhere. - Qualifications: maybe similar to requirements? Might be redundant. Could combine? But we need to follow instruction: use sections only if posting has real specific content. Could have both Requirements and Qualifications if distinct. However posting lumps them together under "What You'll Need". That's more like requirements/qualifications. Could treat as Requirements. Qualifications maybe not needed. - Skills: maybe list specific skills: research, grammar, attention to detail, CMS comfort, ability to write engaging approachable writing, curiosity, sharp researcher, feel for timely food story. - Benefits: what we offer: paid trial assignment $60, reliable pay twice-monthly, flexible schedule, fully remote, high visibility (reach millions, syndicated). Also maybe mention "Work with a top-tier digital media team" but that's more why you want to work here. - Pay: include compensation details: News Writer $21–$25/hr, Feature Writer $0.08-$0.10/word, starting rates, based on experience, etc. - Schedule: include schedule details: News writers work consistent schedule of choosing (10-40 hrs/week). Feature writers no set schedule but minimum one feature per week. Also flexible schedule. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. The posting includes "Compensation within this range is based on experience and qualifications, with $21 per hour as the starting rate." That's substantive. Also "Compensation within this range is based on experience and qualifications, with 8 cents per word as the starting rate." That's substantive. We must not include "not specified" etc. We must not duplicate lines. We need to ensure we don't include application instructions: "Please submit: Resume Brief cover letter Three writing samples..." etc. Remove. Also remove "Why You Want to Work Here" maybe could be part of Benefits? But we have a Benefits section; we could include "Why you want to work here" as part of Benefits or maybe as a separate section? Not in list. Could incorporate into Benefits or maybe into About the role. Safer to include under Benefits? But Benefits is about what we offer. The "Why you want to work here" is more motivational. Could be omitted? But we must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include that info somewhere. Could add a section "Why You Want to Work Here" but not in allowed headings. The instruction says use those headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, not exclusive list? It says "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we must fit all content into those sections. We can put "Why you want to work here" under Benefits or About the role. Probably Benefits is appropriate: includes "Work with a top-tier digital media team, Reach millions of readers each month, Flexible, fully remote work with reliable pay". That matches Benefits. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly Qualifications omitted if not distinct. We'll see. Now craft content. About the role: description of Tasting Table and that they're looking for freelance writers for news and features teams, two paths. Responsibilities: claim and complete articles from list, deliver accurate engaging content, follow style guide, editorial strategy, publishing standards. Requirements: at least 1 year editorial/professional writing experience, experience covering food and beverage culture, consumer grocery trends, product taste tests and reviews, restaurant industry news, mixology, culinary lifestyle topics, comfort working in a CMS, strong research skills, grammar, attention to detail, submissions must not contain AI-generated material, location requirement for Feature writers (must be based in United States). Also note news writers may be based anywhere. Skills: curious, sharp researchers, feel for what makes a food story timely, useful, or irresistible, ability to turn angle into engaging, approachable writing. Benefits: paid trial assignment $60, reliable pay twice-monthly, flexible schedule, fully remote (work from anywhere with stable internet), high visibility (work reaches millions, syndicated across MSN, Yahoo, AOL, Apple News, etc.), work with top-tier digital media team, reach millions of readers each month, flexible fully remote work with reliable pay. Pay: News Writer $21–$25/hr (starting $21/hr), Feature Writer $0.08–$0.10/word (starting $0.08/word), compensation based on experience and qualifications. Schedule: News writers work consistent schedule of choosing (10–40 hours/week). Feature writers no set schedule but minimum one feature per week. Flexible schedule. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". We have "based on experience and qualifications". That's okay. We must not repeat job title. Not needed. We must not include metadata like Job ID. Now produce HTML. We'll wrap each section in

heading then content: either

or

• for lists. We need to decide where to use lists. For responsibilities, we can list bullet points. For requirements, bullet list. For skills, bullet list. For benefits, bullet list. For pay, maybe just paragraph. For schedule, paragraph. Let's craft. About the role: maybe a couple paragraphs. We'll output:

  Check we didn't include any boilerplate. We removed "How to Apply", "About Static Media", "What You'll Do" maybe we covered responsibilities. We included "Example Topics You Might Cover" maybe we omitted; that is substantive but maybe could be included under About the role or Responsibilities? It's examples of topics; could be added as a bullet under Responsibilities or About the role. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information. So we should include example topics. Where to put? Could be under About the role as additional sentence, or under Responsibilities as bullet. Let's add a bullet under Responsibilities: "Example topics include: “The Fluffiest Scrambled Eggs You've Ever Tasted, Try These Tricks”, “The Next Big Trends In Chocolate We’ll See In
