Retail - Event Host / Service Associate
for sections present sections: About the role? The posting includes description of duties. We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits". The posting includes benefits description. Also includes "Preferred Knowledge/Skills/Abilities". Also "Physical Requirements". Also "Work Environment". Also "Preferred Type Of Experience". Also "Other duties as assigned". We need to include sections only when there is real specific content. Avoid placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we should strip out the EEOC statements, the "Applicants in the U.S. must satisfy federal..." maybe that's legal but not EEO? It's about legal requirements; might be considered boilerplate? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So legal statements like "Applicants in the U.S. must satisfy federal, state, and local legal requirements of the job." is legal boilerplate; remove. Also the EEOC statements and posters etc. Remove.
Also remove the "For a summary of benefits, visit the Michaels Benefits at a Glance page." maybe keep benefits description but remove referral links? The instruction: remove duplicated lines, but we can keep benefits description. Might keep the sentence about benefits but not the links? It says "For a summary of benefits, visit the Michaels Benefits at a Glance page." That's a reference; maybe we can keep but it's not substantive? It's a pointer; could be considered boilerplate? Might be okay to keep but it's not essential. Safer to remove that sentence.
Also remove "For additional information regarding benefits, visit MIKBenefits.com". Remove.
Also remove "Michaels is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc.
Also remove "EEOC Know Your Rights Poster..." lines.
Also remove "Founded in 1973..." maybe that's company description; could be considered substantive? It's about company; maybe keep as part of "About the role"? Might be considered boilerplate but it's about the company; not required. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Company overview may be okay to keep? It's not explicitly prohibited. But we might keep a brief "About the role" section summarizing the job purpose. However we must not invent or summarize away detail. We can keep the description of purpose: "At The Michaels Companies Inc., our purpose is to fuel the joy of creativity and celebration." That's substantive? It's company mission; maybe keep as part of "About the role". But we need to avoid fluff. Might be okay.
We need to structure: Use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide sections: Perhaps "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits". Also maybe "Physical Requirements" and "Work Environment". But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine Physical Requirements and Work Environment into a "Requirements" section? But they are distinct. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have sections: "Responsibilities", "Qualifications and Skills", "Physical Requirements and Work Environment", "Benefits". Also maybe "About the role" as intro.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "not specified". All sections have content.
Let's extract content.
