QA Requirements Tester - Activision
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Ready to Activate Your Future?" etc? That's maybe part of boilerplate? It's more motivational but not required? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Ready to Activate Your Future?" is not exactly those, but it's more like a call to action; maybe considered application instruction? It says "Ready to Activate Your Future? The videogame industry...". That's more like marketing fluff; but we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. However we can drop generic motivational fluff if it's not substantive? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The motivational paragraph may be considered not substantive? It's somewhat fluff but still part of posting. Might keep but could be considered boilerplate? Not sure. Safer to keep it as prose under a section like "About the company" maybe. But we have "Our World" section already covering company description. The "Ready to Activate Your Future?" is similar to that; could be merged.
We need sections only when posting has real, specific content. So we need to decide which headings to include: About the role (maybe from "Your Mission"), Responsibilities (from "What You Bring To The Table" includes responsibilities), Requirements (Minimum Requirements), Qualifications/Skills (Extra Points maybe), Benefits (Rewards), Pay (they gave pay range), Schedule (they gave onsite work schedule five days per week). Also Location maybe could be part of About the role? But we can include location in a short paragraph.
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. They do state pay range and schedule. So include those.
We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content:

Work schedule: onsite five (5) days per week.

Our World: description of Activision.
Rewards: benefits list.
Pay: In the U.S., the standard base pay range for this role is $13.85 - $25.62 Hourly. These values reflect the expected base pay range of new hires across all U.S. locations. Ultimately, your specific range and offer will be based on several factors, including relevant experience, performance, and work location. Your Talent Professional can share this role’s range details for your local geography during the hiring process. In addition to a competitive base pay, employees in this role may be eligible for incentive compensation. Incentive compensation is not guaranteed. While we strive to provide competitive offers to successful candidates, new hire compensation is negotiable.
We need to include Pay section with that info.
Schedule: "This role is based in our El Segundo, CA office and follows an onsite work schedule of five (5) days per week. Work arrangements may change at the company's discretion to meet business needs."
We can put schedule in a Schedule section.
Location maybe part of About the role or separate? Could include in About the role paragraph.
We need to avoid duplication: The "Your Mission" already includes some responsibilities; but we also have responsibilities list under "What You Bring To The Table". We could combine them under Responsibilities.
We need to use
for each section heading.
Let's decide sections:
- About the role (maybe include mission and location/schedule? But schedule separate). Could have About the role with mission and location.
- Responsibilities (list)
- Requirements (maybe combine Minimum Requirements and Extra Points? Could have Requirements heading with subpoints? But we need to use - for any list. Could have Requirements section with two sublists? Might be okay to have separate sections: Minimum Requirements and Extra Points (or Skills). But we need to avoid many thin sections. Could combine into Requirements (including both minimum and extra). But we need to preserve all detail; we can list them as separate bullet points, maybe marking "Desired" for extra points.
Better: Have Requirements section with two subheadings? Not allowed because only
for section headings; we could have Requirements
then within that we could have
Minimum Requirements:
... then Extra Points (desired):
... That's acceptable.
- Benefits (Rewards)
- Pay
- Schedule
We should not include a section for "Our World" maybe as About the company? Could be part of About the role? But we have "Our World" describing company; could be included as a brief paragraph under About the role or separate section "About the company". The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine company description into About the role section.
Thus sections: About the role (includes mission, location, company overview), Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Now we need to strip boilerplate: Remove lines like "We are an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "General employment questions cannot be accepted or processed here." etc. Also remove "Ready to Activate Your Future?" etc. Also remove "We love hearing from anyone..." etc. Also remove "Not sure you meet all qualifications? Let us decide!" etc. Also remove "We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment..." etc. Also remove "We are committed to working with and providing reasonable assistance to individuals with physical and mental disabilities..." etc. Also remove "Thank you for your interest." etc. Also remove "We are an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "Rewards Requirements" heading? Actually the text shows "Rewards Requirements" then benefits. We'll treat as Benefits.
We need to keep location and schedule info.
Now craft HTML.
Start with maybe a paragraph for metadata: Job ID and location? But we said fold minor metadata into a short or drop it. We could include a short p: "Requisition ID: R028182 | Location: El Segundo, CA". That's okay.
Then sections.
Let's write.
