Lead Cook - Lawrence Technological University
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. So we need to strip out the About Aramark mission statements etc. Also remove the line "At Aramark, developing new skills and doing what it takes to get the job done make a positive impact for our employees and for our customers. In order to meet our commitments, job duties may change or new ones may be assigned without formal notice." That's part of job description? It's somewhat generic but still substantive? It's about job duties may change. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's a generic statement. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This line is not exactly those but could be considered generic fluff. However it's part of the job description; we might keep it as part of About the role? It says "At Aramark, developing new skills..." It's not essential but it's substantive? It's a statement about the company culture. Might be considered boilerplate but not EEO. Safer to keep? The instruction says remove boilerplate, but not define exactly. I'd keep the initial Job Description paragraph (the first paragraph) as About the role. The later sentence about developing new skills could be considered part of About Aramark? Actually it's after Qualifications? Let's see original text:

We need to remove the About Aramark sections (mission, EEO, etc). Also remove the "Education" heading if no content. There's "Education" then immediately "About Aramark". So we drop Education.
We need to keep the substantive content: The initial Job Description paragraph (up to before "Job Responsibilities"). Then the list of responsibilities (starting with "Schedules and assigns daily work activities..."). Then the Qualifications list (starting with "Previous supervisor experience..."). Also the physical demands and uniform/PPE sentences after qualifications? They appear after qualifications: "This role may have physical demands including, but not limited to, lifting, bending, pushing, pulling and/or extended walking and standing. This role may also require uniforms and/or usage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)." That's substantive; could be part of Qualifications or maybe a separate section like Requirements? But we have no separate Requirements heading; we could include them under Qualifications as they are requirements. Or we could create a "Requirements" section for physical demands and uniform/PPE. However the instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So better to include them under Qualifications.
Also the sentence "At Aramark, developing new skills and doing what it takes to get the job done make a positive impact for our employees and for our customers. In order to meet our commitments, job duties may change or new ones may be assigned without formal notice." This is after responsibilities and before Qualifications. It's somewhat generic but still about job duties may change. Could be considered part of About the role or Responsibilities? It's not a duty but a statement about flexibility. Might be considered boilerplate but not EEO. I'd include it in About the role paragraph perhaps as a separate sentence.
Thus About the role paragraph: combine the initial description and that sentence.
Now we need to format.
