Restaurant Host - Nordstrom Grill - Roosevelt Field
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the job description.
Content:
- Intro: "Job Description The ideal host/hostess is self-motivated, friendly and committed to providing outstanding customer service every day." That's about the role.
- "A day in the life…" then bullet list (actually sentences separated by ellipsis? Actually they are separated by line breaks? The text: "Greet and seat customers quickly and in a professional mannerShare your knowledge and enthusiasm about the restaurant's menu and products with customersAssist with new employee training by positively reinforcing successful performance and offer assistance as neededSupport other areas of the restaurant as requested, such as answering telephones, completing financial transactions, stock work, cleanup and documentationThe hours and schedule for this position will vary by week depending on business needs". This is responsibilities.
- "You own this if you have…" then list: "The ability to communicate clearly and professionally with customers and coworkersThrived in a fast-paced environmentThe ability to work a flexible scheduleA food handler’s card where required by local and state regulations1+ year experience in food service/hospitality (preferred)". That's requirements/qualifications/skills.
- "Pay Range Details The pay range(s) below has been provided in compliance with state specific laws. Pay ranges may be different for other locations. Pay offers are dependent on the location, as well as job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. $17.95 - $18.65 Hourly". That's Pay.
- "We’ve got you covered… Benefits Our employees are our most important asset and that’s reflected in our benefits. Nordstrom is proud to offer a variety of benefits to support employees and their families, including: Medical/Vision, Dental, Retirement and Paid Time AwayLife Insurance and DisabilityMerchandise Discount and EAP Resources This position may be eligible for performance-based incentives/bonuses. Benefits include 401k, medical/vision/dental/life/disability insurance options, PTO accruals, Holidays, and more. Eligibility requirements may apply based on location, job level, classification, and length of employment. Learn more in the Nordstrom Benefits Overview by copying and pasting the following URL into your browser: https://careers.nordstrom.com/pdfs/Ben_Overview_07-14_Variable_ES-US.pdf". That's Benefits.
- "A few more important points..." includes legal notices, EEO, etc. We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should drop that section.
Thus we have sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (day in the life), Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (you own this if you have...), Pay, Benefits.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate.
We need to format lists appropriately.
Let's extract each piece.
About the role: "The ideal host/hostess is self-motivated, friendly and committed to providing outstanding customer service every day." That's a sentence. Could be a
.
Responsibilities: The bullet list: "Greet and seat customers quickly and in a professional manner", "Share your knowledge and enthusiasm about the restaurant's menu and products with customers", "Assist with new employee training by positively reinforcing successful performance and offer assistance as needed", "Support other areas of the restaurant as requested, such as answering telephones, completing financial transactions, stock work, cleanup and documentation", "The hours and schedule for this position will vary by week depending on business needs". Actually the last sentence about schedule could be part of responsibilities or schedule section. But we have a Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state schedule varies. So we could create a Schedule section with that sentence. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might combine schedule into responsibilities? But they said use Schedule heading only if posting actually states them. It does state schedule varies. Could be its own section. But we need to avoid many thin sections. However we already have About, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay, Benefits. Adding Schedule would be a sixth section. Might be okay but they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. The schedule sentence is short; maybe we can incorporate into Responsibilities as a duty. But they said use Schedule heading only if posting actually states them. It's not mandatory to create a Schedule section; we can include schedule info within Responsibilities. Since they said prefer few substantive sections, we can omit Schedule heading and include schedule info in Responsibilities.
Thus Responsibilities will include all duties including schedule.
Now Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The list: "The ability to communicate clearly and professionally with customers and coworkers", "Thrived in a fast-paced environment", "The ability to work a flexible schedule", "A food handler’s card where required by local and state regulations", "1+ year experience in food service/hospitality (preferred)". Note "Thrived" maybe should be "Thrives". Keep as is.
We can put these in a
.
Pay: The pay range details: "$17.95 - $18.65 Hourly". Also preceding sentences about pay range details. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we can have a with the explanatory sentences, then maybe a
with the pay range? But pay range is not a list; it's a value. Could be $17.95 - $18.65 Hourly
. Or we could put in . The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Pay is not a list, so use
.
Benefits: The benefits description includes list: "Medical/Vision, Dental, Retirement and Paid Time Away", "Life Insurance and Disability", "Merchandise Discount and EAP Resources", then later "Benefits include 401k, medical/vision/dental/life/disability insurance options, PTO accruals, Holidays, and more." Also mention performance-based incentives/bonuses. We need to preserve all substantive information. We can create a
with list items: Medical/Vision, Dental, Retirement and Paid Time Away; Life Insurance and Disability; Merchandise Discount and EAP Resources; 401k; medical/vision/dental/life/disability insurance options; PTO accruals; Holidays; performance-based incentives/bonuses. However there may be duplication. We need to avoid duplicating lines. The text includes both a list and then a sentence summarizing. We should combine unique items.
Let's extract unique benefits:
- Medical/Vision
- Dental
- Retirement
- Paid Time Away
- Life Insurance
- Disability
- Merchandise Discount
- EAP Resources
- 401k
- medical/vision/dental/life/disability insurance options (some overlap)
- PTO accruals
- Holidays
- performance-based incentives/bonuses
But "medical/vision/dental/life/disability insurance options" is essentially same as earlier items. To avoid duplication, we could keep the earlier specific items and not repeat the generic. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot invent or summarize away detail. If we drop the generic sentence, we might be losing detail that says "Benefits include 401k, medical/vision/dental/life/disability insurance options, PTO accruals, Holidays, and more." That includes 401k, PTO accruals, Holidays, and more. We already have 401k, PTO accruals (maybe covered by Paid Time Away?), Holidays not listed elsewhere. So we need to keep Holidays and maybe "more". But we cannot invent "more". We could keep the sentence as a summarizing, and also have a
for the specific items. That would preserve all info without duplication? The sentence includes some items already listed; that's okay duplication? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Duplicated lines refers to duplicated lines in the posting, not necessarily duplication we create. It's okay to have some overlap if it's from original. But we should avoid repeating the same line verbatim if it appears twice in original. In original, they list benefits then later say "Benefits include 401k, medical/vision/dental/life/disability insurance options, PTO accruals, Holidays, and more." That's not a duplicated line; it's a different sentence. So we can keep both.
Thus we can have a for the first list: Medical/Vision, Dental, Retirement and Paid Time Away; Life Insurance and Disability; Merchandise Discount and EAP Resources.
Then a for the sentence: "This position may be eligible for performance-based incentives/bonuses. Benefits include 401k, medical/vision/dental/life/disability insurance options, PTO accruals, Holidays, and more. Eligibility requirements may apply based on location, job level, classification, and length of employment. Learn more in the Nordstrom Benefits Overview by copying and pasting the following URL into your browser: https://careers.nordstrom.com/pdfs/Ben_Overview_07-14_Variable_ES-US.pdf"
But we need to remove application instructions? The URL is not an application instruction; it's a link to benefits overview. It's not application instructions, so we can keep.
Thus Benefits section will have
