Managing Principal, Building Structures
for section headings.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions.
We must not include sections like Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes a link "Click here for benefits information: HNTB Total Rewards". That's a statement about benefits but not details. Is that enough to create a Benefits section? The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It states there is a benefits information link, but not actual benefits details. Does that count as stating them? It says "Click here for benefits information: HNTB Total Rewards." That is a statement that benefits info exists via link. I'd argue that is stating benefits exist, but not details. The rule says "unless the posting actually states them." It does state that there is benefits information available via a link. So we could include a Benefits section with that link as content (maybe a
with the link). However we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". The link is specific.
Pay: The posting includes approximate pay ranges for Los Angeles Metro Area and Orange County, CA, and for Washington. So we have pay info. So we should include a Pay section with those ranges.
Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So we should not create Schedule section.
Benefits: we have a link. So we can include Benefits section with that link.
We also have locations: list of locations. Could be part of Additional Information but maybe we could put under "Locations" but not a standard heading. The allowed headings are limited to those list. We could incorporate location info into a
under Additional Information or maybe under About the role. Since we must only use those headings, we can put location info in a paragraph under maybe About the role or Additional Information (but we don't have a heading for Additional Information). We could treat "Additional Information" as not a standard heading; we should not create a heading for it unless it matches one of the allowed. So we should fold location info into a paragraph under maybe About the role or under Pay? Better to put under About the role as part of description.
We need to preserve all substantive info: so we need to include the pay ranges, the benefits link, the locations, the visa sponsorship note, the job type (Regular Full time), maybe the Job Category, ReqID? 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 Job ID etc in a short paragraph.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO statements, visa sponsorship note? Actually visa sponsorship is not boilerplate? It's a specific note: "Visa sponsorship is not available for this position." That's substantive. We should keep it.
We also need to remove duplicated lines, application instructions (like "Click here for benefits information" is not application instruction; it's benefits info). The "Click here to learn more about Equal Opportunity Employer/Disability/Veteran" is boilerplate; remove.
Also remove the long EEO statement, Affirmative Action Policy Statement, etc.
We must preserve substantive info: the role description, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, preferred qualifications, pay ranges, benefits link, locations, visa sponsorship note, job type, maybe job category.
We need to decide sections:
- About the role: could contain the introductory paragraph(s) describing the role, company, etc. Also maybe locations.
- Responsibilities: from "What You'll Do".
- Requirements: from "What You'll Need" (Bachelor’s degree and 15 years experience). Could also include "What You'll Bring" as Skills? Actually "What You'll Bring" is more like skills/qualities. Could be Skills section.
- Qualifications: maybe "What We Prefer" as preferred qualifications.
- Skills: maybe combine "What You'll Bring" and "What We Prefer"? But we need to avoid thin sections. Could have Skills section containing both "What You'll Bring" and "What We Prefer"? But we need to follow rule: use heading only when posting has real specific content for it. We have content for Skills (What You'll Bring) and also for Preferred Qualifications (What We Prefer). Could make two sections: Skills and Qualifications. Or combine them under Skills? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Skills and Qualifications into one section called Skills? But we have headings list includes Skills and Qualifications separate. We could decide to have Skills (including What You'll Bring) and Qualifications (including What We Prefer). That's two sections, each substantive.
- Benefits: from link.
- Pay: from pay ranges.
- Schedule: not present, omit.
We also need to include job type etc maybe in About the role paragraph.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
Now craft HTML.
We need to ensure we use
for each section heading.
Inside sections, use
for prose,
- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive info: let's extract.
