Also maybe include "Minimum guarantee: 40 Hours" but that's schedule.
Skills: JOB SKILLS:
- Good organizational and time management skills.
- Good verbal and written communication skills.
Compliance section maybe not needed as not in allowed headings. Could be omitted.
Schedule: details:
- Start Date: 10/05/2026
- Duration: 16 weeks (also Length of assignment: 17 Weeks - conflict; we need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Both appear; we should keep both? They are contradictory but we must preserve both. So we can list both as separate items.
- 40 hours per week
- Shift: 8 hours
- Shift: 08:00 AM - 04:30 PM
- Minimum guarantee: 40 Hours
- Length of assignment: 17 Weeks
- Also maybe "Employment Type: Local Contract" but that's not schedule; could be omitted or placed elsewhere? Not in allowed headings. Could be omitted as not substantive? It's about employment type; maybe we could include in About the role? But better to omit as not requested heading. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; but we cannot create new headings not allowed. Could we fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can fold minor metadata like Employment Type into a short
maybe under About the role? But they said fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we could include a short paragraph after About the role containing "Employment Type: Local Contract." That's minor metadata. Similarly "Specialty: Speech Language Pathologist", "Discipline: Therapy" maybe minor. We could include them in a short paragraph. But we must not create sections with filler. So we can add a
after About the role that includes those details. Let's craft:
About the role

Check for any other substantive info like "Compliance" etc. Not in allowed headings, but we could fold into a short
maybe after Skills? But it's not minor metadata; it's a substantive section about compliance. However the allowed headings do not include Compliance. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." It didn't say we must omit sections not in list; but the list of headings is given as examples: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive. However later: "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we could create a Compliance section if there is real content. But the instruction earlier: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It seems they expect us to use those headings. Safer to stick to those. Compliance content could be folded into Requirements or Skills?
