Nurse Co-op
Schedule
withcontaining that info. Benefits: It says "un-benefited position". So no benefits. Should we include Benefits? The rule: never create Benefits unless posting actually states them. It states it's un-benefited, which is a statement about benefits (lack thereof). Should we include a Benefits section? It says "un-benefited position". That is specific content about benefits (none). I'd include a Benefits section stating it's un-benefited. However the rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state it's un-benefited, so we can include Benefits section with that statement. Pay: Not mentioned. So no Pay section. We also have "Job ID / requisition numbers" none. We need to remove boilerplate etc. We need to use
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which sections have content.
We have About the role (statement of purpose). Responsibilities (Job Functions). Requirements (Qualifications/Requirements). Possibly Skills? The posting includes technical skills etc. Could be under Skills. But we already have Requirements covering qualifications and maybe skills. The rule: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine skills into Requirements or Responsibilities. But we have separate headings allowed. Might be better to have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Schedule, Benefits. That's 5 sections.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from statement of purpose, job functions, requirements, schedule, benefits (un-benefited). Must not drop any detail.
We need to format lists with - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities we should list each duty as
- . For Requirements we should list each requirement as
- . For Benefits we can just have a
stating un-benefited.
We need to be careful not to lose any detail. The job functions are long paragraph with many sentences. We need to break into list items each duty. Let's parse.
Job Functions paragraph:

We need to split into sensible list items. Each sentence or clause could be an item. We must preserve all info; we can break at periods.
