We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove "Your Global Benefits At a Glance" etc. Also remove "Nearest Major Market: Cincinnati". Also remove "Apply now »". Also remove "Festo inspires people..." introductory paragraph? That is generic marketing; maybe considered boilerplate? It's not specific to role. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The opening paragraph about Festo inspiring people is generic marketing; could be considered boilerplate? It's not specific to role but maybe considered part of company description. The instruction says remove boilerplate; but not explicitly say to remove company overview. However "Festo inspires people..." is generic fluff; could be considered boilerplate.
