We also have location info: Primary City/State: Goodyear, Arizona; Department Name: Palm Valley-Img Ctr; Work Shift: Day; Location: Banner Imaging Palm Valley (1800 N Civic Square). Should we include location? Possibly under About the role or a separate section? There's no heading for location; we could embed in About the role paragraph. The instruction: do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include location and shift in a short paragraph maybe under About the role or a separate "Details" but not required. Better to include location and shift in About the role paragraph. We must not include boilerplate like EEO statement, Privacy Policy, etc. Now produce HTML fragment. We'll structure:
