Library Aide I - Mesquite Library
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections have real content.
- About the role: Could use General Summary as about the role. So About the role
General Summary ...
- Responsibilities: Essential Duties and Responsibilities list. Use- for each duty.
- Requirements: Could include Education Required, Experience Required, Physical Requirements? Might be separate sections. But we can combine into Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have multiple of those.
We need to include only sections with real content.
We have:
- Pay: pay range $14.56 to $19.51 per hour, part-time 12 hours per week, FLSA non-exempt. Also mention pay begins at minimum, annual merit and COLA increases. So we have Pay section.
- Schedule: The posting includes schedule lines: Saturday 215 PM - 615 PM Tuesday 900 AM - 100 PM Thursday 315 PM - 715 PM. Also note schedule may change. So we have Schedule section.
- Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly. No benefits listed. So we should not include Benefits.
- Skills: Could include Core Competencies, Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities, Additional Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities. Might combine into Skills section. But we also have Requirements (education, experience). Could separate.
We need to avoid filler like "N/A". The posting has "Preferred N/A" for Education Preferred and Experience Required Preferred? Actually: Education Required Completion of tenth (10th) grade. Preferred N/A. Experience Required N/A Preferred 6 months of customer service experience. So we have some N/A lines; we should not include those as content if they are just N/A. We can omit them.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include Education Required, Experience Required (preferred 6 months), Physical Requirements, Core Competencies, Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities, Additional Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities.
We could group into Requirements (education, experience), Qualifications (core competencies?), Skills (knowledge, skills, abilities). But we need to follow headings list; we can choose which to include.
Simplify: Use sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Schedule.
We need to map content:
- About the role: General Summary paragraph.
- Responsibilities: Essential Duties and Responsibilities list (bullet points).
- Requirements: Education Required, Experience Required (preferred 6 months), Physical Requirements.
- Qualifications: Core Competencies (list).
- Skills: Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities + Additional Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities (maybe combine).
- Pay: Pay range and details.
- Schedule: Schedule lines.
We must not include headings with empty content.
Now format: Use
for each heading. Then content:
for prose,
- for lists.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title. Not include Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate like application deadline, interview anticipation, etc. Also remove "Application Deadline", "To be considered", "We anticipate interviewing". Also remove "PLEASE NOTE Meeting these posted qualifications does not necessarily guarantee an interview." Also remove "Saturday 215 PM - 615 PM ..."? That's schedule, keep.
Also remove "USD $14.56 - USD $19.51 /Hr." duplicate; keep pay info once.
Also remove "Part-Time YPL-Children's Services Mesquite Library 160 W. First North Street" maybe location? Could be considered location but not required; but it's substantive? It's location address. Might keep as part of About the role? Not sure. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So location is substantive. Could include in About the role paragraph or separate? Could add a
with location. But we already have About the role using General Summary; we could add location after. We need to avoid duplication: The posting includes "Part-Time YPL-Children's Services Mesquite Library 160 W. First North Street". That's likely the job location/department. We'll include as a short paragraph. Now craft HTML. Let's list duties from "Essential Duties and Responsibilities": - Sorts and reshelves returned books, periodicals, and other materials. - Provides basic support with Assists customers with check-out and check-in. (The text seems garbled: "Provides basic support with Assists customers with check-out and check-in."
