Local College Co-op: Michigan Operations OSS Administrative Support
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content.
From posting: There's a description about Dow, purpose, etc. Could be "About the role" maybe includes description of role and purpose. There's "Key Job Responsibilities" list. There's "Required & Preferred Qualifications" and "Preferred Skills". There's "Critical Requirements Of The Local Student College Co-Op Program" which includes eligibility, hours, etc. There's "About Dow" which is company overview. There's EEO boilerplate to remove.
We need to preserve all substantive info, but remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, accommodation phone, etc. Also remove navigation/cookie/legal. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to decide sections: Could have "About the role" (includes purpose, description, location, part-time coop, etc). "Responsibilities" (list). "Qualifications" (maybe combine required & preferred qualifications). "Skills" (preferred skills). "Requirements" (critical requirements of program). "About Dow" maybe not a standard heading but could be "About the company"? Not in list. The allowed headings are only those listed. So we must map content to those headings. If content doesn't fit, maybe we omit heading. But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can put info under appropriate headings even if not exact match? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests we can use those headings; we should include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. So we can include sections for those headings that have content. If we have content that doesn't fit any of those, we might need to still include it under a relevant heading (maybe "About the role" can include company overview). But "About Dow" is company overview; could go under "About the role" or maybe we omit because not exactly role. However we must preserve all substantive info; we could put company overview under "About the role" as part of role description.
Let's extract substantive content:
- Intro paragraph about Dow values, purpose, etc. Could be part of "About the role" or maybe we could have a separate "About Dow" but not allowed. We'll put under "About the role".
- Job location: Midland, MI. Part-time cooperative education job opportunity.
- Details: open to qualified and highly-committed college students enrolled in a fully accredited college or university located very close to the Midland Dow site. Long-term, year-round, undergraduate student position at least one full year while taking classes. Offers valuable professional work experience in dynamic multinational corporation interfacing with colleagues and leaders in many different roles. Designed for academically successful students who meet ALL specific job and co-op program requirements listed below and who can succeed both in school and professional work environment.
- Job Purpose: Provide administrative support for the Organo Silanes & Silicones (OSS) Plant within Michigan Operations.
- Key Job Responsibilities list (bulleted). We'll put under Responsibilities.
- Required & Preferred Qualifications: paragraphs about no required course of study, but business, project management, operations, or engineering majors may be best fit. Student must deliver quality work product, pay attention to details, prioritize tasks, follow through, efficient, productive, meet deadlines, take initiative, ask for clarity, work independently and cooperatively, flexible, cooperative, positive attitude.
- Preferred Skills: list of Accountability, Administrative Support, Detail-Oriented, Teamwork, Adaptability.
- Critical Requirements Of The Local Student College Co-Op Program: bullet list of requirements: age 18+, HS diploma/GED and enrolled at accredited college/university close to Midland Dow site, pursuing undergraduate degree. Successfully complete minimum 6 credit hours per term during Fall and Winter terms (Sept-Apr). Seeking high performing student with strong GPAs of 3.000+ preferred. Able to begin work soon (within 3 weeks of offer) and work year-round at least 16 hours each week ONLY during regular business hours (8am-5pm, Mon-Fri…max 8 hours/day and 30/week during school). Commit to role for at least 1 full calendar year (before completing classes for stated undergraduate degree or before transferring out of area). Students available longer than one year before completing degree program are preferred and advantaged. Reliable attendance and punctuality in commuting to work daily or at least 2 days a week; therefore dependable transportation, dedication and time management skills required. Since this is a Local Co-op position, candidates must live within 50 miles of the Dow site to which they are applying. Any current Dow college co-ops wishing to transfer into this role must have been in their current role at least one full year, must have at least one full year left before graduating or transferring out of the area, and must have supervisor approval before applying to each Dow co-op job posting. Candidates who receive a job offer will be required to pass a background check and will verify school-related requirements and I-9 documentation before being hired into Dow. A minimum requirement for this U.S. based position is the ability to work legally in the United States. No visa sponsorship/support is available for this position, including for any type of U.S. permanent residency (green card) process.
- About Dow: company description, global breadth, etc. Could be placed under "About the role" or maybe we could create a separate section but not allowed. We'll include under "About the role" after the role description.
- EEO boilerplate etc to remove.
Thus sections:
About the role
with paragraphs covering intro, location, purpose, company overview.
Responsibilities
with - list.
Qualifications
maybe combine required & preferred qualifications? Could split into Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications but only allowed heading "Qualifications". We'll put all qualification content there.
Skills
for preferred skills list.
Requirements
for critical requirements of program.
We should not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule as no specific info.
Check for any mention of pay or schedule: schedule info is in requirements (hours). But we should not create a Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does state hours, but that's under requirements. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state schedule (hours). However we already have schedule info in requirements; but we could still create a Schedule section if we want. However they say prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Since schedule details are already in requirements, we could keep them there. Not required to create separate Schedule section. We'll omit.
Now ensure we don't include boilerplate: remove EEO, accommodation phone, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove "References to Dow or the Company mean Dow Inc. and its subsidiaries." That's part of About Dow; maybe keep? It's substantive but maybe boilerplate? It's a definition; could keep but it's not essential. Might be considered boilerplate but it's part of company description. I'd keep it as it's part of About Dow description.
Remove "As part of our dedication to inclusion, Dow is committed to equal opportunities in employment..." etc. Remove that whole paragraph.
Also remove "Learn more about us and our ambition to be the most innovative, customer-centric, inclusive and sustainable materials science company in the world by visiting www.dow.com." That's promotional; maybe keep? It's not essential but could be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove.
Now craft HTML.
We'll need to wrap content in appropriate tags.
Let's draft:
