(company description - maybe About the role? Actually it's about company, could be About the role or maybe not needed. It's substantive but not about role. Might be considered "About the company". The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. We have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The company description could go under About the role? Probably not. It's about the company, not role. Might be considered filler? It's substantive but not required sections. Could we put it under About the role? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning those are examples, but we should use those headings when appropriate. The company description may not fit any of those exactly. Could we omit? It's substantive but not required. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep it somewhere. Perhaps we can put it under a generic About the Company? But they said use those headings e.g., but not limited? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests we should use those headings for sections; but we could also use other headings if needed? The examples are just examples; but they likely expect us to use those headings only. However, we need to preserve all substantive info; we could incorporate company description into About the role section (makes sense as overview). Or we could create a
About the Company? But they said use those headings e.g., but not limited? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests we should use those headings for sections; but we could also use other headings if needed? The examples are just examples; but they likely expect us to use those headings only. However, we need to preserve all substantive info; we could incorporate company description into About the role section (makes sense as overview). Or we could create a
without heading? The instruction: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose." It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests using those for sections. Safer to use those headings only and embed company description in About the role
.
Thus sections:
- About the role: includes description of role and company overview.
- Responsibilities: the major activities list.
- Requirements: Minimum Type of Experience Required (3+ years retail leadership experience) plus maybe legal requirement? Could also include Work Environment? Work Environment is more about physical demands; could be under Requirements or Qualifications? Usually physical demands are under Requirements or Qualifications. We'll treat as Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe none separate; but we could combine with Requirements. However we need to avoid empty sections. If we have no distinct qualifications, we could omit Qualifications section.
- Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; but we could infer from responsibilities? Better not to invent. So omit Skills if no explicit.
- Benefits: The posting mentions Michaels offers a range of benefits: 401(k) with employer match, Employee Assistance Program, medical, dental, vision coverage, telemedicine, flexible spending accounts, commuter benefits, tuition assistance, adoption assistance, various voluntary insurance options, everyday perks such as employee discounts and partner discount programs. Also link to benefits pages. That's substantive. So we need Benefits section with list.
- Pay: Total Base Pay Range $17.75 - $23.10, plus overtime eligibility.
- Schedule: Work hours include nights, weekends and early mornings (from Work Environment). Also maybe shift details. So we can put Schedule section with that.
We must not include boilerplate like EEOC, legal posters, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
