- Any duplicated lines, application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal stuff.
The user said: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So I need to strip all that.
Also: "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text... and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them."
The posting does state benefits: "PPG offers excellent Medical, Dental, & Vision Benefits; matching 401k + retirement savings; and Paid Vacation, Holiday pay." So I can have a Benefits section.
It doesn't have specific Pay or Schedule sections with actual stated values. It mentions "PPG pay ranges and benefits can vary by location" but that's generic, not specific pay for this role. The rule says: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state benefits specifically, so Benefits section is okay. Pay and Schedule are not stated with specific values, so I should NOT create those sections.
Let's check the headings list: "e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule". I need to map the content to these. I should only include sections that have real content.
Let's map:
- "About the role" - The posting has general description, reporting structure, location. I can put that under a heading or combine. The rule says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". I'll use "About the role" for the introductory/description part.
- "Responsibilities" - yes, list.
- "Requirements" or "Qualifications" - the posting has "Qualifications". I'll use "Qualifications" as heading.
- "Skills" - not explicitly separate, but qualifications include skills. I might fold into Qualifications or Requirements. The rule: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." I'll see if there's distinct "Skills" content. Not really, so I'll skip or fold.
- "Benefits" - yes, stated.
- "Pay" - not specific, skip.
- "Schedule" - "2nd Shift" is in the title, but no specific schedule details beyond that. The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It says "2nd Shift" but no detailed schedule. I think I should not create a Schedule section unless there's specific content. The title has "(2nd Shift)" but that's just shift info. I'll maybe mention shift in a
or fold into About the role. But the rule says "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". The shift is part of the title, but I can mention it in prose. I'll be careful.
Let's re-read the input carefully for any specific schedule pay info:
- "You will work onsite in our Springdale, PA plant."
- "2nd Shift" in title.
- No specific hours, pay rate, etc.
So I will not create Pay or Schedule sections.
What about "About Us" and "The PPG Way 2030"? The rule says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." But also "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The "About Us" and values are substantive company info, but are they part of the job posting's relevant sections? The rule says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." I need to decide what to include as sections.
The user gave example headings: "About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule". I should probably stick to those, or use relevant ones. The "About Us" part could be "About the role" or I could have a separate "Company Overview" but the rules limit headings to the listed examples. I'll map:
- "About the role" → the description, reporting, location, shift.
- "Responsibilities" → list.
- "Qualifications" → list (or "Requirements"? The posting says "Qualifications". I'll use "Qualifications" as heading, as it matches the posting's wording and one of the allowed examples.)
- "Skills" → not explicitly, skip.
- "Benefits" → the specific benefits listed.
- I'll skip Pay, Schedule.
What about the "About Us" PPG description and values? The rule says "Preserve ALL substantive information". But including it might create thin sections. I could fold it into "About the role" or omit if it's too broad. The posting has a lot of "About Us" text. The rule: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." I think I should include the role-related "About" info (location, reporting, shift, core duties context) but maybe not the entire company history and values unless I can compress meaningfully. However, the rule also says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." This is tricky. I'll include the immediate role context: "You will work onsite in our Springdale, PA plant. You will test raw material and finish good properties... You will report to the Manager of Quality Services & Manufacturing Support." I'll put that under "About the role". I'll skip the broader "WE PROTECT AND BEAUTIFY THE WORLD®" and the 2030 values because they're not specific to the role and would make the HTML too long/thin. But I need to be careful. Let's see what the user expects.
Actually, re-reading: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." This might mean I should keep all the text that's not boilerplate. But then the HTML would be huge. The rule also: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." And "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text..."
I think the best approach is to extract the core job sections: About the role (context, location, reporting, shift), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits. I'll include the specific benefits text. I'll fold the "About Us" PPG description into a
under "About the role" or maybe omit it if it's not strictly about the role. But the rule says preserve all substantive info. I'll try to include
