Imaging Technologist Level III, Echosonographer - Full Time
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate.
We need to parse the posting: It includes location, tracking code, position type, functional demands, FLSA status, salary grade (need to verify), OSHA category, inclement weather classification, client age group, then description under direction etc. Then essential functions list (long). Then required experience, required licenses for various modalities, minimum education, minimum work experience, etc.
We need to decide sections: Likely "About the role" (summary), "Responsibilities" (essential functions), "Requirements" (licenses, education, experience), maybe "Qualifications" (could overlap), "Skills" (competencies), maybe "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule" only if present. The posting does not mention benefits, pay, schedule explicitly except FLSA status non-exempt, but not pay amount. So we should not create Pay/Benefits/Schedule sections because they are not stated. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. So we omit those.
We need to include sections only when there is real specific content. So we can have About the role (summary paragraph), Responsibilities (list of essential functions), Requirements (licenses, education, experience). Possibly Skills (competencies) but could be part of Requirements. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But we have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose to include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (covering licenses, education, experience), and maybe Skills (competencies). But we risk thin sections. Let's see content: Essential functions are many duties; we can put under Responsibilities. Required licenses, education, experience under Requirements. Skills/competencies could be under Qualifications or Skills. The posting includes many competency statements: "Demonstrates competency with ...", "Demonstrates ability to ...", etc. Those could be Skills. But we could also include them under Responsibilities as they are part of duties. However they are more about competencies. To keep few sections, maybe we have About the role, Responsibilities (including essential functions and competency statements), Requirements (licenses, education, experience). That's three sections.
We must not repeat job title. Use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all the essential functions details as list items. That's huge; we need to capture each bullet. The essential functions paragraph is a long sentence with many clauses separated by line breaks? Actually it's a paragraph with many sentences. We need to break into list items for each duty. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert the essential functions into a list. Similarly, required licenses/education/experience could be list.
We must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes some like "FLSA Status: Non-Exempt", "OSHA Category: Category 1", etc. Those are metadata; we might incorporate them into About the role paragraph or maybe drop? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include metadata like location, tracking code, position type, FLSA status, OSHA category, inclement weather classification, client age group in a short paragraph under About the role maybe.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep location, tracking code, position type, FLSA status, OSHA category, inclement weather classification, client age group. Also the description about direction etc. So we can combine into About the role paragraph.
Now we need to extract essential functions list items. Let's parse the essential functions paragraph: It starts with "ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS" then a list of statements each starting with a verb. We'll split by sentences (period). Let's copy them:
