Direct-Ed-IND2Cross Country Education Job ID #a2m98f7fmg82. Posted job title: School-Based Physical Therapist - remove. About Cross Country Education ... (company description) - maybe not needed? It's not a required section but could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About Cross Country Education" is company overview, not role. The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph about the company? The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The company description may be considered not essential but could be included as a paragraph under maybe "About the role"? However "About the role" is a heading we can use for role overview. The posting includes "Position Overview" which is about role. So we can put that under
About the role
with paragraphs. Responsibilities: The bullet points under Position Overview are responsibilities. Could be a list. Requirements: Might be same as Qualifications? Usually Requirements includes license, degree, experience. Qualifications also includes those. We can combine or separate. The instruction: Use headings for sections like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. We have: - About the role: Position Overview paragraph(s). - Responsibilities: list of duties (evaluate, deliver, develop, collaborate). - Requirements: maybe the qualifications (DPT, license, NPI, experience). Could be under Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? Could be redundant. Better to put qualifications under Requirements and maybe Skills under a separate heading if we have skills like collaboration and communication. The posting mentions "strong collaboration and communication skills" as part of qualifications. Could be under Skills. - Benefits: Comprehensive health coverage including Medical, Dental, Vision, and a 401(k) match. - Pay: $55.30 - $58.40 per hour, weekly pay, bonus opportunities. - Schedule: full-time school-based schedule of 37.5 hours per week, plus paid sick leave. Also earlier they said 40 hours per week shift 8 hours, duration 41 weeks. But later they say Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a full-time school-based schedule of 37.5 hours per week, along with paid sick leave. There's a discrepancy. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include both pieces? The posting says Duration: 41 weeks, 40 hours per week, Shift: 8 hours, Employment Type: Local Contract. Then later Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a full-time school-based schedule of 37.5 hours per week, along with paid sick leave. This is contradictory. We must keep both as they are in the posting. So schedule section should include both: 40 hours per week, 8-hour shifts, 41 weeks duration, and also mention the school-based schedule of 37.5 hours per week with paid sick leave (maybe it's a mistake but we keep). We'll include as a paragraph. We also have "Help students move..." paragraph which is more about role; could be part of About the role. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, job ID, application instructions (Learn more about Cross Country Education: website). Actually "Ready to make a difference? Learn more about Cross Country Education: www.crosscountry.com/education" is application instruction? It's a link to learn more; could be considered application instruction? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should drop that line. Also remove "Direct-Ed-IND2Cross Country Education Job ID #a2m98f7fmg82. Posted job title: School-Based Physical Therapist". Remove. Also remove "About Cross Country Education" company description? It's not explicitly required to keep; but it's substantive info about the company. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep it unless it's considered boilerplate? It's a description of the company, not boilerplate like EEO. It's substantive. However the instruction also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could include it as a short paragraph under maybe a heading "About the company" but that heading is not in the allowed list. The allowed headings are only those listed. We cannot add other headings. So we must either drop it or incorporate into existing allowed sections. Where could it fit? Possibly under "About the role"? Not really. Could be under "Benefits"? No. Could be under "Pay"? No. Could be under "Schedule"? No. Could be under "Requirements"? No. Could be under "Skills"? No. Could be under "Qualifications"? No. The instruction says we should only use those headings for sections. If we have content that doesn't fit any of those, we could either drop it (if considered not essential) or incorporate as a paragraph without a heading? The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." It doesn't forbid having paragraphs without headings; it just says use h3 for section headings. So we can have a
for prose that is not under a heading. However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could add a
about the company without a heading, but that might be considered thin. Better to incorporate into "About the role"? Not ideal.
Maybe we treat "About Cross Country Education" as "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is about the role, not company. But we could rename? Not allowed to change heading names? The examples are given but we could still use "About the role" heading for role overview. The company description could be placed after that as a
without heading. That seems acceptable.
