Sales Associate Part-time & Full-time
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings. Not repeat job title as heading. Also we should not include headings with filler. So we need to decide which sections have real content.
We have:
- About the role: could be "About The Position" paragraph: "The Retail Sales Associate interacts and assists customers, donors and others with merchandise selection, suggestion selling, and cashiering in a courteous and professional manner."
- Responsibilities: list of essential functions and responsibilities.
- Requirements: maybe "Position Requirements (Qualifications for the job under the Americans with Disabilities Act)" includes education/experience, computer/technology skills, certificates, physical abilities, essential mental/sensory abilities.
- Qualifications: maybe overlapping with 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, Benefits, Pay. Possibly also Skills? But skills are covered in Requirements.
- Pay: we have Pay Rate: $17.13-19.00/hour DOE.
- Benefits: list under "Why work at Evergreen Goodwill?" includes health plan, life insurance, etc.
- Schedule: not provided, so we should not create Schedule section.
- Also we have "About Evergreen Goodwill" and "About Goodwill" describing organization. Could be considered "About the role"? Not exactly. Might be considered background but not required headings. The instruction says we should include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. The posting does have that content; we could include an "About the organization" section but not in the prescribed headings list. However the instruction gave examples of headings but not limited to those? It says: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies those are the allowed headings. So we should only use those headings. So we need to fit the organization description somewhere, maybe under About the role? But that seems odd. However we could treat "About Evergreen Goodwill" as part of "About the role" (maybe not). But we could also create a section "About the role" that includes both the role description and organization overview. That would preserve all substantive info.
Thus:
