Legal Counsel, XO & PayPal
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Include a section only when posting has real specific content. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and schedule sections only if posting actually states them. Pay is given with ranges per location, so include Pay section. Schedule: they mention hybrid work model: 3 days in office, 2 days remote choice. That's schedule info, so include Schedule section. Benefits: they have a paragraph describing benefits, we can include Benefits section with
maybe also list? It says "Our Benefits:" then description. Could format as
. Could also list bullet points but not given as list. We'll just use
.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we must omit the scam warning paragraphs, EEO statement, etc. Also omit "Who We Are: Click Here..." etc. Also omit "Any general requests..." etc. Also omit "PayPal does not charge candidates..." etc. Also omit "For the majority of employees..."? That's schedule/hybrid, we keep that as schedule. Actually that sentence is about hybrid work model; we keep it in Schedule section.
We need to preserve all substantive information: company description, job summary, essential responsibilities (list), minimum qualifications, additional responsibilities & preferred qualifications (maybe list), pay details, benefits description, schedule/hybrid.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the exact text? Probably we can paraphrase but must preserve all substantive information; better to keep the sentences as is, but we can format into
or
- . Must not add extra info.
Let's extract sections:
Company description: first paragraph(s) about PayPal. That's substantive; could be under "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. There's no explicit "About the company" heading, but we could put under "About the role" maybe? However "About the role" is for role description, not company. But we have no other heading; maybe we can include company description under "About the role" as part of role context. Or we could omit? The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., not limited to those. So we can use those headings; we should include sections that have content. The company description could go under "About the role" as it's context. Or we could create a heading "About the company" but not in list; but they gave examples, not strict. Safer to use "About the role" for role summary and responsibilities etc. The company description could be placed before job summary as a
without heading? But they said use headings for sections; we could just put a
without heading? The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use headings for sections; but we could have a leading
for company description without heading? Might be okay but better to include a heading like "About the role" and include company description there? However the role summary is separate: "Job Summary: This job uses specialized expertise..." That's about the role. So we could combine company description under "About the role" as introductory paragraph.
Let's structure:
About the role
[company description] [job summary]
Then Responsibilities: essential responsibilities list.
Then Requirements/Qualifications: minimum qualifications and additional responsibilities & preferred qualifications.
We could split into Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications but headings limited to Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Could use "Qualifications" for both minimum and preferred. Or "Requirements" for minimum, "Qualifications" for preferred. Let's do:
Requirements
Minimum Qualifications: 5+ years relevant experience and a Juris doctorate degree OR Any equivalent combination of education and experience.
Qualifications
Additional Responsibilities & Preferred Qualifications: Subsidiary: PayPal Travel Percent: 0
But that seems odd; the additional responsibilities & preferred qualifications line includes "Subsidiary: PayPal Travel Percent: 0". That's not a qualification; it's more metadata. Actually the line: "Additional Responsibilities & Preferred Qualifications: Subsidiary: PayPal Travel Percent: 0". Probably they meant additional responsibilities and preferred qualifications, then they list Subsidiary: PayPal Travel Percent: 0. That seems like a weird placeholder. Might be we should treat "Additional Responsibilities & Preferred Qualifications" as a heading? But we don't have that heading. Could treat as "Responsibilities" additional? But we already have essential responsibilities. Might be better to include a section "Additional Responsibilities" under Responsibilities? However the instruction: "Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". The additional responsibilities & preferred qualifications is not a list; it's a line. Could be ignored? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include that line somewhere.
Maybe we can include a
under "Qualifications" that says "Additional Responsibilities & Preferred Qualifications: Subsidiary: PayPal Travel Percent: 0". That preserves the info.
Pay section: include
Pay
with containing the pay ranges.
Benefits:
Benefits
with containing the benefits description.
Schedule:
Schedule
with containing hybrid work model description.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, scam warning, etc.
