Registered Respiratory Therapist - RRT - 24 or 36 Hours/Week - Nights
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include sections that have content.
We need to decide which sections to include:
- About the role: Could include the introductory paragraph about why work for NEMHS, plus maybe the "Why Join Methodist" bullet list? Actually "Why Join Methodist" is about benefits and opportunities. Could be part of Benefits or About the role. But we have separate Benefits and Pay sections.
- Responsibilities: definitely include the long list.
- Requirements: includes Education, Experience, License/Certifications.
- Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? But we can combine? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (covering education, experience, licensure), Skills (communication), Benefits (including sign on bonus, free parking, tuition assistance, benefits eligibility), Pay (competitive pay mentioned), Schedule (shift details). Also maybe Physical Requirements? Not in list of headings; we could omit or include under Requirements? But not required.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content for Pay: "We offer competitive pay". That's specific enough? It's vague but it's actual statement. We can include Pay section with that sentence.
Benefits: we have "excellent benefits", "full-time benefits eligibility starting at just 24 hours per week", "after one year of employment working 24+ hours per week, take advantage of our RRT to BSRT Academy Program, where Methodist covers the cost of tuition through Methodist College", "Up to $30,000 sign on bonus", "Free parking". Also "competitive pay, excellent benefits and a great work environment". So we can list those.
Schedule: "Schedule: Nights - varied schedule, 2 weekends per month requirement and rotating holidays." Also later "Schedule 6:30p-7a, varied schedule, 2 weekends per month requirement and rotating holidays." So we can include that.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll produce something like:
