Ocular Genetic Counselor | Full-Time - Philadelphia, PA
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to map content to these headings. We should only include sections where there is real specific content. We should not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to decide which headings to use: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements/Qualifications (Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications), Skills (Required Skills), Benefits (We Offer...), Pay (not present), Schedule (Full-Time mentioned but not detailed; we should not create Schedule unless posting actually states them; it says Schedule: Full-Time but that's just metadata; we should not create a Schedule section with filler? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state Schedule: Full-Time, but that's just a label; is that considered stating schedule? Probably yes, it states Full-Time. However we need to avoid placeholder like "not specified". It does specify Full-Time. So we could include a Schedule section with that info. But we need to see if we should include it as a Schedule
with
Full-Time
. However the rule says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Might be better to incorporate schedule into About the role or elsewhere. But we have to follow instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Full-Time is specific. So we could include Schedule. Benefits: They list "We Offer Competitive salary Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance Retirement savings plan Paid Time Off (PTO) Tuition assistance and professional development opportunities Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Opportunities to participate in clinical research and scientific publications Collaborative academic environment with internationally recognized experts Career growth within one of the world's premier ophthalmology institutions". That's benefits. So we can have Benefits section. Pay: They mention Competitive salary but no specific number. The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. They state "Competitive salary" which is vague but still states something. Is that considered filler? It's not a specific number but it's a statement. The rule says avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". "Competitive salary" is similar vague. Might be considered filler. Safer to not create Pay section. Thus sections: About the role (maybe intro), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements (Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Skills (Required Skills), Benefits (We Offer...), Schedule (Full-Time). Could also have About Wills Eye Hospital as About the role? But we already have About the role maybe summarizing role. Could also have a separate section for About Wills Eye Hospital but not in allowed headings list; but we could use About the role for that? The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should stick to those. So we need to map content accordingly. We can put About the role: summary paragraph from "Join a World Leader in Ophthalmology Wills Eye Hospital is hiring..." plus maybe "Why Join Wills Eye Hospital?" and "Why This Opportunity Is Different". Could combine. Responsibilities: "What You'll Do" sections (Patient Care & Genetic Counseling, Clinical Program Leadership, Research & Academic Contributions, Education & Mentorship, Collaboration). We'll list as- each bullet.
Requirements: Minimum Qualifications.
