Schedule

Currently 2 days a week onsite (with expectation to revert to telework as workload decreases). Seventh Sense contributes over $1,500 annually to your Transportation FSA for onsite commute.

We need to ensure we didn't duplicate content. The commute benefit appears both in About the role and Schedule. Might be okay but maybe we should keep it only once. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. If we duplicate, it's still preserving but could be considered redundant. Better to keep it only in one place. Let's move commute benefit to Schedule section only, and remove from About the role. But About the role currently includes that sentence. We could rephrase About the role to exclude commute benefit, but we must preserve all info. So we need to keep that info somewhere. We can keep it in Schedule section and mention in About the role that there is a commute benefit? Actually we could keep it in About the role but not duplicate in Schedule. Let's decide: keep commute benefit in About the role, and Schedule just about onsite/telework expectation. That preserves info without duplication. Thus adjust Schedule: just about work location and expectation. Schedule section: "This position is currently 2 days a week onsite because of end of fiscal year contract work. As the work slows in the new fiscal year, the expectation is that it will revert to a telework arrangement." Now About the role includes commute benefit sentence. Let's rewrite About the role without duplicating schedule details? We can keep hiring timeframe, location description, and commute benefit. We'll mention location generally but not repeat schedule specifics. About the role: "We are looking for candidates with experience supporting Federal Government contracting offices. This position supports the Research Activities Branch (RAB) in the Office of Procurement at the NASA Shared Services Center (NSSC) at Stennis Space Center (SSC) in Stennis, MS. Specifically these positions support the award or administration of Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) contract instruments. Hiring Timeframe: Immediate. For onsite work Seventh Sense will support your commute by contributing over $1,500 annually to your Transportation FSA." We removed the schedule details from About the role. Now schedule section only has the onsite/tele
