IT Professional Assistant
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have content about University, College/Unit/Department, Position Summary, Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, Duties/Responsibilities (multiple bullet lists), Physical Demands maybe not needed, but we can include as part of Responsibilities? Probably not. We have no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule specifics (only schedule M-F 8am-5pm mentioned under Additional Schedule Information). That is schedule info, so we can include a Schedule section with that detail. Pay: "Advertised Salary Commensurate with experience" - that's not specific, we should NOT include Pay section because it's filler (commensurate with experience). Benefits: "Employment Type Employee Benefits Eligibility Benefits Eligible Full/Part time Full Time" - not specific benefits, so we should not include Benefits section. Requirements: we have Minimum Qualifications: High school diploma or equivalent. Preferred Summary Preferred Qualifications (maybe empty). We can include Requirements section with that. Skills: we have Knowledge, Skills, Abilities And/or Competencies broken into categories; we can include Skills section with those bullet points. Responsibilities: we have Duties/Responsibilities with percentages; we can include Responsibilities section with bullet list (maybe combine). Also we have Position Summary (maybe About the role). Could treat "About the role" as Position Summary. Also we have "About the University of Georgia" and "About The College/Unit/Department" maybe could be under "About the role"? But instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. We could include an "About the role" section containing the Position Summary and maybe university/college description? However they said do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. The page already shows it. So we can include About the role with description of role (Position Summary). The university/college description could be considered background but not required; but we might include as part of About the role? Might be okay to include as separate sections? The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. Safer to stick to those headings only when we have content. We have content for About the role (Position Summary). Responsibilities (Duties/Responsibilities). Requirements (Minimum Qualifications). Skills (Knowledge, Skills, Abilities). Schedule (Additional Schedule Information). Possibly also Qualifications? Could combine Requirements and Qualifications. But we have Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Summary (maybe empty). We'll put Requirements with Minimum Qualifications. Skills with the KSAs.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". So no Pay. Benefits none. Schedule we have M-F 8am-5pm. That's specific, so include Schedule.
We must remove boilerplate like EEO, etc.
We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all duties/responsibilities bullet points (the three groups with percentages). Also include Position Summary text. Also include Minimum Qualifications. Also include Knowledge, Skills, Abilities categories (Technical, Dependability and Integrity, Productivity, Relationships & Serving Others, Teamwork, Strategic Planning). Also include Physical Demands? Not in headings list; maybe we could include under Responsibilities? But it's substantive; we could add a section "Physical Demands" but not in examples; but instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. However Physical Demands is substantive; maybe we can incorporate into Responsibilities or Skills? It's about physical demands, not a skill. Could be part of Responsibilities? Might be okay to add a separate section but risk deviating. Safer to include as a subsection under Responsibilities? But we must preserve all substantive info; we could add a
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. However Physical Demands is substantive; maybe we can incorporate into Responsibilities or Skills? It's about physical demands, not a skill. Could be part of Responsibilities? Might be okay to add a separate section but risk deviating. Safer to include as a subsection under Responsibilities? But we must preserve all substantive info; we could add a
under Responsibilities for Physical Demands. However the instruction: "Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose." So we can have prose paragraphs. Thus we can have:
