Knott's Scary Farm - Talent
for each section heading.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from posting, but we can format them as lists or paragraphs.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal-opportunity, scam warning, cookie/navigation/legal. However some lines like "Six Flags Entertainment Corporation is an equal opportunity employer." is EEO boilerplate; we should remove. Also "Performers must be at least 18 years old." is not EEO but a requirement; we keep. "We support a drug-free workplace and perform physicals and background checks." is maybe boilerplate but it's substantive about requirements; we keep as part of requirements.
We must remove duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat.
Let's extract substantive content:

We need to decide where to put each. Perhaps:
About the role: overview description (first paragraph plus mission statement etc). Could include the casting commitment etc.
Responsibilities: the bullet list of duties.
Requirements: mandatory items: age 18+, background check, availability to attend orientations/training/rehearsals/event dates, availability to work all assigned training and event dates (Thursday-Sunday) including nights weekends holidays, shift times, willingness to wear heavy makeup/mask, ability to pass background check, provide records, drug-free workplace, physicals.
Skills: adaptable, quick-thinking, comfortable improvising while maintaining character, team-oriented, reliable, ability to use props/noise makers, vocalizations, posture changes, guest service, etc. But many of those are duties. Might be better to put skills as adaptable, quick-thinking, improvising, team-oriented, reliable.
But we must not create thin sections. Let's combine Requirements and Skills into one section called Requirements (or Qualifications). However the instruction says we can have sections like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for both Requirements and Skills. Could make two sections: Requirements (mandatory: age, background check, availability, makeup, records, drug-free) and Skills (desired: adaptable, quick-thinking, improvising, team-oriented, reliable, etc). That seems reasonable.
Pay: $16.90/hr.
Schedule: event dates list, shift times, availability to work all assigned training and event dates (Thursday-Sunday) includes weekday/weekend nights and holidays. Some shifts start as early as 3pm and some go as late as 3am.
