Graphic Designer / Sign Production
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content.
First, identify sections:
- About the role: The paragraph after job title? The posting includes: "Are you highly motivated, detail oriented, and creative? Are you up for a challenge, eager to learn, and passionate about design? If so, we’re looking for talented and inspired candidates who are focused on teamwork, task completion, and customer satisfaction. If you are looking for a rewarding career in graphic design, not just another job, then come join our team as a Graphic Designer / Output Specialist! As a Graphic Designer / Output Specialist, your primary responsibility will be to create computer generated vinyl and/or full color graphics output that can be weeded, cut, and applied or printed and mounted to a substrate. You will work closely with team members to ensure complete satisfaction with the final product. The ideal candidate is a creative, self-motivated team player who can work in a fast-paced, deadline driven environment and who is determined to make every project his or her absolute best. We manufacture a variety of printing and marketing solutions including signs, banners, window films, wall and floor graphics, installations and much more. We are looking for a graphic design artist with signage experience who is looking for an opportunity to succeed with our creative services team."
That's about the role. We'll put that in About the role
with
. - Responsibilities: There's a "Responsibilities" heading later: "Responsibilities Prepares comprehensive layouts, mockups, proofs and copy for print reproduction according to instructions from clients and the sales team.Performs logo modification and sources high-quality digital files.Prepares files, included adding bleeds, crop marks, die-lines, hole locations, and other finishing file layers as required, archiving files upon completion for future use.Inspects all jobs for accuracy and quality before sending them to be produced.Maintains accurate electronic and paper records.Works on multiple different projects simultaneously.Loads materials on/into printers, table router, laser cutter and engraver: which may require some heavy lifting." We need to split into list items. Each sentence maybe separate
- ... etc. - Qualifications: There's a "Qualifications" heading: "Qualifications High school diploma or GED required; advanced education degree preferredExperience in graphic design / print production, using PC and Mac.Expert knowledge of Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop.Knowledge of a variety of graphics programs and output devices such as vinyl plotters, large-format printers, laser engravers and CNC routers.Strong math and proof-reading skills, including spelling and grammar.Ability to work well under pressure to output high volume, high quality work.Strong organizational and time management skills.Ability to lift 50 pounds.Strong communication and interpersonal skills.Exceptionally detail-oriented to ensure every part of a project comes out correctly the first time.Prompt, reliable and responsible." We need to list each qualification as
- . Could group but each separate. - Skills: Not explicitly a heading but there may be overlapping with qualifications. The instruction says use headings only if posting has real specific content for it. There's no separate "Skills" heading; we could combine qualifications and skills? But we have Qualifications heading already. We could also have a Skills section if there are skill statements separate from qualifications. The qualifications list includes many skill-like items. Might be okay to just have Qualifications. No separate Skills heading unless there is explicit "Skills:" heading. There's not. - Benefits: There's "Benefits: Competitive salaryEmployee discountsPaid time offFlexible schedule" earlier and later "Benefits: Paid HolidaysPaid Vacation and Sick timePaid overtime as neededGreat working hours: Monday - Friday 8 am – 5 pm". So we need to combine benefits. The posting includes multiple benefit statements. We'll list them as
- . Ensure we don't include filler like "Competitive salary" (that's substantive). "Employee discounts", "Paid time off", "Flexible schedule", "Paid Holidays", "Paid Vacation and Sick time", "Paid overtime as needed", "Great working hours: Monday - Friday 8 am – 5 pm". All are substantive.
- Pay: There's "Compensation: $18.00 - $22.00 per hour". That's pay. So we need a Pay section with that info. Use
Pay
$18.00 - $22.00 per hour
. - Schedule: There's "Great working hours: Monday - Friday 8 am – 5 pm" which is schedule info, but that's already in benefits. However schedule could be separate if we have explicit schedule info. The posting includes "Great working hours: Monday - Friday 8 am – 5 pm". That's schedule. Since we already used it in benefits, but we could still have a Schedule section if we want. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we incorporate schedule into Benefits or Pay? But schedule is separate concept; we could keep Benefits and not have Schedule separate because schedule info is already in Benefits. However we need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. It does have schedule content, but we already used it in Benefits. Could we still have a Schedule section with that content? That would duplicate. Better to keep schedule under Benefits as a bullet. The instruction says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". It doesn't forbid using that content also elsewhere, but we should avoid duplication. So we can omit separate Schedule section. - About the role we already have. Now we need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting includes lines like "If this sounds like you, then we encourage you to click Apply now!" That's application instruction; remove. Also "At FASTSIGNS, every day is unique..." etc is maybe boilerplate? It's about the company but not required? Might be considered fluff but still substantive? It's about opportunities, training, network. Could be considered generic but still specific? It's not boilerplate like EEO. Might keep? The instruction: remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The paragraph about FASTSIGNS network and training is not boilerplate; it's about the company. Might keep as part of About the role? Could be separate but we already have About the role. Could incorporate into About the role as additional paragraph. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep that info somewhere. Could add anotherunder About the role. Also there is line: "This franchise is independently owned and operated by a franchisee. Your application will go directly to the franchisee, and all hiring decisions will be made by the management of this franchisee. All inquiries about employment at this franchisee should be made directly to the franchise location, and not to FASTSIGNS Corporate." That's also boilerplate/franchise disclaimer; maybe considered legal? It's not EEO but could be considered boilerplate. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is a legal disclaimer about franchise. Likely considered legal boilerplate; we should remove it. Also "Compensation: $18.00 - $22.00 per hour" we keep as Pay. Now we need to format. Let's extract About the role content: We'll combine the initial motivational paragraphs and the description of role, plus the FASTSIGNS network/training paragraph. Original About the role text: "Are you highly motivated, detail oriented, and creative? Are you up for a challenge, eager to learn, and passionate about design? If so, we’re looking for talented and inspired candidates who are focused on teamwork, task completion, and customer satisfaction. If you are looking for a rewarding career in graphic design, not just another job, then come join our team as a Graphic Designer / Output Specialist! As a Graphic Designer / Output Specialist, your primary responsibility will be to create computer generated vinyl and/or full color graphics output that can be weeded, cut, and applied or printed and mounted to a substrate.

We manufacture a variety of printing and marketing solutions including signs, banners, window films, wall and floor graphics, installations and much more. We are looking for a graphic design artist with signage experience who is looking for an opportunity to succeed with our creative services team." Then later: "At FASTSIGNS, every day is unique and presents exciting opportunities, including new ways to use your talent and grow your skills. We have a large network of independently owned locations - both locally and internationally - who offer competitive pay and ongoing training opportunities. Are you ready to plan for your future? Discover your next career. Make your statement. Learn more by exploring the positions offered by FASTSIGNS centers." We need to remove application instruction: "Are you ready to plan for your future? Discover your next career. Make your statement. Learn more by exploring the positions offered by FASTSIGNS centers." That's basically a call to action; maybe considered application instruction? It's encouraging to explore positions; could be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove that sentence. Keep the earlier part about opportunities, network, training. Thus About the role paragraphs: Paragraph1: The motivational + role description. Paragraph2: "At FASTSIGNS, every day is unique and presents exciting opportunities, including new ways to use your talent and grow your skills. We have a large network of independently owned locations - both locally and internationally - who offer competitive pay and ongoing training opportunities." We'll keep that.
