We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, accommodations, powered by JazzHR, etc. Also remove application instructions? The instruction about submitting before 4 p.m. is application instruction; we should remove that. Also remove opening/closing dates? Those are metadata; we could fold into a short
or drop. The instruction says: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with metadata like location, work week, salary, opening/closing dates maybe. But we also have Pay and Schedule sections; we could put salary in Pay section, work week in Schedule section. Opening/closing dates maybe not needed; could be dropped. The location could be in About the role. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the duties, responsibilities, qualifications, requirements, preferred skillset, benefits, etc. We must not omit any substantive detail. However we can combine some sections if they overlap. We need to use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is not given explicitly; maybe "Office of Record Access" etc. We'll not add.
We need to decide sections:
- About the role: could include brief summary: location, work week, salary? But we have separate Pay and Schedule sections. Maybe About the role includes a short description of the position's purpose: liaison etc. Could combine with responsibilities.
Better to have sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
But we must not create sections with filler. Ensure each has real content.
