Product Engineer I
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. I think I should only include sections that match those headings. The company description could be folded into a short
under "About the role" or omitted. The rules: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The company description is substantive but not a standard section. I could add a section "About the company" but not in the list. The rules say "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, but likely they want only those. However, the company description is important. I'll include it as a paragraph under "About the role" or maybe a separate "About the company" heading? But the rules say "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." The company description is not minor metadata. I think I'll create an "About the role" section that includes the role profile and maybe company context. But the role profile is separate. Let's see. Structure: - About the role: from "The Blueprint (Role Profile)" paragraph. - Responsibilities: from "The Build (Responsibilities)" list. - Qualifications: from "The Toolbox (Qualifications)" list. The qualifications list includes both requirements and skills. The rules have "Requirements" and "Qualifications" and "Skills" as possible headings. The posting calls it "Qualifications". I'll use "Qualifications" as heading. Also there is "Skills" maybe separate? The qualifications include "Experience with CAD software", "Working knowledge of various manufacturing...", "Familiarity with PPAP...". Could be split but I'll keep as one Qualifications section with bullet points. Now, need to convert each bullet point into
. Also the company description at the end: "At Apex Tool Group (www.apextoolgroup.com), we build innovation... join us and say #WeBuildATG!" That's marketing. Could be included as a separate paragraph under "About the role" or maybe a separate "About the company" heading. Since the rules don't forbid extra headings, but they say "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It's ambiguous. I think it's safe to include a "About the company" heading? But the rules say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The company description is substantive. However, the user might expect only the standard sections. I'll include it as a paragraph under "About the role" maybe after the role profile. Or create a separate "About the company" section. I'll do a separate "About the company" heading because it's distinct. But the rules didn't list it. However, they said "e.g." meaning examples. I'll include it.
But the rules also say "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate". The company description is not boilerplate. It's part of the posting. I'll keep it.
