Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications). Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). Skills (KSAs). Benefits? Not mentioned. Pay? Salary Placement mentions salary range but not actual numbers; it's generic. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It says "Initial salary placement will be within the posted range or pay rate of the position". That's not a specific number, but it's stating that salary will be within posted range. Is that considered stating pay? It's vague but it's still referencing pay. However the instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state something about salary placement, albeit not a number. I'd consider that as stating pay info, albeit generic. We could include a Pay section with that sentence. However the rule also says: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might combine Pay into About the role? But better to have a Pay section if there is content. Schedule: "Works variable schedule and exhibits regular and predictable attendance." That's schedule info. So we could have a Schedule section. Benefits: none. Thus sections: About the role (job summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred), Skills (KSAs), Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for each section heading. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use

    . We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Already removed. We need to ensure we don't include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now craft HTML. Structure:

    Schedule

    Works variable schedule and exhibits regular and predictable attendance. Work may be performed in an office and recreation facility. Work will be performed in an indoor facility and in the water; work may also be performed outdoors during variable weather conditions in the summer.

    We also need to include Physical Requirements? That's part of Working Conditions. Could be part of Schedule or maybe a separate section? There's no heading for Working Conditions in the list; we could incorporate into Schedule or maybe a separate section like "Working Conditions". But the instruction only gave a set of possible headings; we can add others if needed? It says: "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, not exclusive. But we should prefer few substantive sections. Physical Requirements could be part of Schedule or maybe a separate "Working Conditions". However we already have Schedule covering variable schedule and environment. Physical Requirements are distinct. Could add a "Working Conditions" section with Physical Requirements and Environment. But we already have Schedule covering environment; maybe we can merge Physical Requirements into Schedule? Might be too thin. Better to add a "Working Conditions" section. But the instruction didn't forbid other headings; just gave examples. It says "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use other headings if needed. However we should avoid thin sections. Physical Requirements is substantive. So we can add a "Working Conditions" section. Let's add:

    Working Conditions

    • Must be able to swim 300 yards continuously, tread water for two minutes, and swim 20 yards to retrieve a 10-pound object off the bottom of the largest pools at any time; must have sufficient physical fitness and swimming ability to reach a patron within 30 seconds within the zone of coverage, which may be over 30 yards from guard station; must be able to deliver emergency equipment poolside (automated external defibrillator, bag-vale masks, backboard) within 30 seconds of emergency notification; must be able to move equipment reels on deck and move equipment into and out of the pools; must be able to tolerate teaching in the water, at water temperatures between 80 and 90 degrees, for up to three hours per shift.
