for prose. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Include only sections with real specific content. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- About The Job: description of tasks: Perform and validate all routine and special tests associated with hematology, chemistry, coagulation, point of care, immunology, blood bank, urinalysis and parasitology according to GLP regulations. Testing includes instrument maintenance, specimen processing, QC/statistics, troubleshooting protocol/instrument issues verification of results and accurate interpretation and reporting. Technologists must maintain a safe work environment while handling specimens that include blood, feces, tissues, organs and body fluids. Provide interpretative support for laboratory reports and recommend review by clinical pathologist when appropriate. Assist in training of new personnel and provide supervision of co-workers with different qualifications. Act as a consultant for clinicians, clinic staff and students on proper sample submission and result interpretation. Professional services require 24/7 access to testing. Staff members are required to participate in weekend/holiday on-call rotation and coverage of evenings, weekends and holidays.
- Location and Work environment: This work is generally performed at The University of Minnesota, College of Veterinary Medicine, and at the Veterinary Medical Center. The work environment includes working with blood, feces, body fluids, tissues and organs. Special attention to safety practices in a Biosafety Level 2 Laboratory is required to maintain a safe work environment for technologists and other members of the hospital team. Work may also include exposure to noise, bright/low lighting, temperature variations, and allergens such as mold, dust, hay and animal hair and dander.
- Work Schedule: Hours vary with start time from 6:00am - 11:00am to 2:30pm - 7:30pm M-F. Rotating weekends, holidays and on-call.
- Primary Responsibilities: broken into percentages: 70%- Diagnostic Testing (list of duties), 20%- Training, 10%- Quality Control.
- Qualifications: Required Qualifications: BS/BA in Medical Technology/Clinical Laboratory Scientist (CLS)/Medical Technologist(MT) with certification (ASCP preferred). Plus at least 2 years of experience, or a combination of related work.
- Preferred Qualifications: list of abilities.

The University Offers a Comprehensive Benefits Package That Includes Competitive wages, paid holidays, and generous time off Continuous learning opportunities through professional training and degree-seeking programs supported by the Regents Tuition Benefit Program Low-cost medical, dental, and pharmacy plans Healthcare and dependent care flexible spending accounts University HSA contributions Disability and employer-paid life insurance Employee wellbeing program Excellent retirement plans with employer contribution Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) opportunity Financial counseling services Employee Assistance Program with eight sessions of counseling at no cost Employee Transit Pass with free or reduced rates in the Twin Cities metro area While our salary ranges provide a framework, it is important to note that most of the time, the initial pay may not reach the maximum of the range. This approach ensures that compensation reflects the value and unique contributions of each candidate while maintaining equity within our organization. As part of our commitment to fair and equitable compensation, please be aware that the salary offered to incoming candidates will be based on their individual credentials and experience.
We need to include Pay and Benefits sections only if posting actually states them. It does state Pay Range and benefits list. So we can include Pay and Benefits sections.
Schedule: we have Work Schedule details. So include Schedule.
We need to decide which headings to use: About the role (maybe "About the role" corresponds to "About The Job" description). Responsibilities (Primary Responsibilities). Requirements (maybe "Qualifications" includes required qualifications). Skills (Preferred Qualifications maybe). Benefits (benefits list). Pay (Pay Range). Schedule (Work Schedule). Also maybe include "Location and Work environment" could be part of About the role or separate? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't list Location. We could incorporate location into About the role or maybe not create a separate heading if not in list. Since we must only include sections when posting has real specific content for it, and we should prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could embed location within About the role paragraph.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we must cut out the "How To Apply", "Diversity", "Employment Requirements", "About University Of Minnesota". Also cut out "Physical Requirements"? It's substantive but not in the heading list; maybe we can include under Requirements or Qualifications? Could be part of Requirements. But we have a heading "Requirements" maybe for required qualifications. Physical requirements could be under Requirements as well. However the instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It seems they expect separate headings for Requirements and Qualifications. Possibly Requirements = required qualifications, Qualifications = preferred qualifications? Or maybe Requirements = required qualifications, Qualifications = preferred qualifications. We'll follow that.
Thus:
- About the role: combine About The Job description + Location and Work environment.
- Responsibilities: Primary Responsibilities (with sub-bullets maybe). Could break into subpoints but we can just list as
- for each bullet.
- Requirements: Required Qualifications (BS/BA etc + 2 years experience).
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list.
- Skills: maybe we could put Physical Requirements under Skills? But better to put Physical Requirements under Requirements? However we already used Requirements for required qualifications. Could put Physical Requirements under Skills? Not ideal. Perhaps we can create a separate section for Physical Requirements but not in allowed headings. The instruction 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 exhaustive. But they say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could add a section for Physical Requirements if needed, but better to incorporate into Requirements or Qualifications. I'd incorporate physical requirements into Requirements (maybe as a sublist). But the heading "Requirements" could cover both required qualifications and physical demands. However they'd be mixed. Might be okay.
Alternatively we could put Physical Requirements under Skills (since skills include abilities). But physical demands are not skills. I'd put them under Requirements.
Thus:

Responsibilities
- 70% - Diagnostic Testing: ...
- 20% - Training: ...
- 10% - Quality Control: ...
But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can break down each responsibility into more detailed bullet points as per posting.
Let's extract details:
Diagnostic Testing (70%):
- Performs diagnostic testing on patient samples to aid VMC Clinicians, staff and students in the diagnosis and/or monitoring of various disease states.
- Diagnostic testing includes routine and stat testing such as CBC (complete blood count), chemistry profiles (evaluates liver/kidney function, glucose and electrolytes) and urinalysis.
- Reviews and analyzes test results for accuracy and evaluates test results for critical values.
- Recommends verification processes and/or review of results by Clinical Pathologist when indicated.
- High quality testing and results are required to provide support for diagnostic and GLP research testing.
- Testing processes include but are not limited to:
* Advising clinicians/staff/students on optimal specimens for testing
* Pre-analytical sample analysis evaluation for acceptability and processing
* Evaluation of QC/QA on equipment and manual methods to determine acceptability for daily performing and reporting
* Evaluation of specimens according to standard operating procedures and assessment of reports for further review by Lab Supervisor/Manager or Clinical Pathologist.
Training (20%):
- Trains VMC clinicians and staff on all Point of Care instrumentation (i-STAT blood gas analyzers using syringes or micropipettes; Glucose analyzers; Total Plasma Protein and Packed cell volume using a Safepette).
- Supports test selection, ordering and the understanding reports.
- Train the lab after-hours teams, supporting after hours for any questions (24/7 support availability).
- Training for these areas includes routine operation of analyzers, the ability to troubleshoot basic problems, requesting the test in the analyzer/hospital or lab system and interpretation of results.
Quality Control (10%):
- Performs quality control, quality assurance, instrument maintenance, daily and monthly monitoring of analyzers, troubleshooting test results or equipment issues.
- Daily maintenance and quality control/quality assurance review is required to verify that instruments, procedures and staff are able to provide high quality and accurate results for diagnosis and treatment of VMC patients and valid results for research evaluation and publications.
- Recognizes when a test system is not within expected range and provides troubleshooting, notifies appropriate resources, contacts technical support, provides basic service according to advice from vendors to resolve as soon as possible.
- Describes the system errors and provides an estimate of time to results to limit loss of specimen quality and assure timely results.
- Triage specimens as priorities are required to address the critical needs of the patient.
- Audit test results performed by other members of the team and report preventative and corrective action.
Now About the role: combine About The Job paragraph plus Location and Work environment.
About The Job paragraph: "Perform and validate all routine and special tests associated with the hematology, chemistry, coagulation, point of care, immunology, blood bank, urinalysis and parasitology according to Good Laboratory Practice regulations. Testing includes instrument maintenance, specimen processing, quality control (QC)/statistics, troubleshooting protocol/instrument issues verification of results and accurate interpretation and reporting. Technologists must maintain a safe work environment while handling specimens that include blood, feces, tissues, organs and body fluids. Provide interpretative support for laboratory reports and recommend review by clinical pathologist when appropriate. Assist in training of new personnel and provide supervision of co-workers with different qualifications. Act as a consultant for clinicians, clinic staff and students on proper sample submission and result interpretation. Professional services require 24/7 access to testing. Staff members are required to participate in weekend/holiday on-call rotation and coverage of evenings, weekends and holidays."
Location and Work environment: "This work is generally performed at The University of Minnesota, College of Veterinary Medicine, and at the Veterinary Medical Center. The work environment includes working with blood, feces, body fluids, tissues and organs. Special attention to safety practices in a Biosafety Level 2 Laboratory is required to maintain a safe work environment for technologists and other members of the hospital team. Work may also include exposure to noise, bright/low lighting, temperature variations, and allergens such as mold, dust, hay and animal hair and dander."
We'll combine into a paragraph.
Now Requirements: Required Qualifications: "BS/BA in Medical Technology/Clinical Laboratory Scientist (CLS)/Medical Technologist(MT) with certification (ASCP preferred). Plus at least 2 years of experience, or a combination of related work."
We could also include Physical Requirements here as a sublist.
Physical Requirements: list of demands: Stand, Walk, Sit
