We should preserve that exactly.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO Statement, etc. Also remove "Job Overview" heading? We'll not include heading for job overview; we just put paragraph under About the role.
We need to include Department and Job Status maybe as part of About the role? Could embed in paragraph. But we should preserve all substantive information. So include Department: Respiratory - Anschutz Medical Campus, Aurora; Job Status: Full-time, benefit eligible; Shifts: Various shifts available; relocation assistance.
We could put those details in About the role paragraph or separate
. Probably best to include them in About the role
after the overview.
Let's craft About the role
containing overview plus department, job status, shifts, relocation assistance.
We must not repeat job title.
Now sections:
About the role
...
Responsibilities
- ... each duty
Requirements
- ... education, experience, certifications, licensure, professional membership
We could split certifications etc into separate list items.
Benefits
- ... each benefit item
But benefits paragraph includes sentences about bonus program and base pay increases. Those are not list items but we could still keep as after list? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to list benefits as list items. The bonus program and base pay increases are also benefits; we could include them as list items.
Thus benefits list items:
- base pay
- incentives
- paid time off
- medical/dental/vision insurance
- company provided life and disability insurance
- paid parental leave
- 403b employer match (retirement savings)
- a robust wellness program
- access to professional development tools, including an education benefit to help you advance your career
- annual employee bonus program that rewards eligible team members based on organizational performance (paid out following April if goals met)
- annual base pay increases to eligible team members based on performance over previous year
We need to preserve the exact wording? We should not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details as close as possible. We can paraphrase slightly but must keep meaning. Safer to keep the sentences as list items.
Thus:
- base pay
