Groom Tech in Training, Petsense
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content.
Job summary: "Overall Job Summary" paragraph. Could be "About the role". Use About the role
then
with summary. Responsibilities: list of duties. Many bullet points. Use
- .
Requirements: maybe "Required Qualifications" includes Experience and Education. Could be under Requirements.
Qualifications: maybe "Preferred Knowledge, Skills Or Abilities" could be Skills.
Benefits: there is a paragraph about benefits in Company Info. It mentions benefits: medical, dental, vision, company-paid life and disability insurance, paid parental leave, tuition reimbursement, family planning resources, etc. Also eligibility details. So we can include Benefits section.
Pay: not mentioned. So omit Pay.
Schedule: mentions work shifts vary, generally no less than 4 hours and may exceed 10 hours, also required FT for Level 2, etc. So we have schedule info. So include Schedule.
We must not repeat job title. No Job ID.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The "Disclaimer" and "Company Info" partly includes benefits; we keep benefits but remove generic fluff? We need to preserve all substantive information. The Company Info paragraph includes benefits details; we can keep that as Benefits section. Also maybe some generic statements about team members being heart; could be considered boilerplate? It's not strictly boilerplate but it's generic. However we need to preserve substantive info; maybe we keep it as part of About the role? But it's more about company culture. Could be considered filler but not disallowed. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The company info is not those. So we can keep.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now craft HTML.
