Skills
with the list. - Benefits: we have benefits paragraph and list. - Pay: we have pay range details. - Schedule: we have schedule info: "The hours and schedule for this position will vary by week depending on business needs" and also "The ability to work a flexible schedule based on business needs". So schedule section. We should not include sections like About the role? Yes we have intro. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to output HTML fragment only, no /. Use for headings. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like legal notices, EEO, etc.
We need to ensure we include all substantive info from the posting.
Let's extract each piece.
About the role: "The ideal Salesperson is passionate about fashion and styling and has the ability to cultivate and grow a customer following, both digitally and in-store."
That's a sentence. Could be a
.
Responsibilities: list:
- Set and achieve sales goals, for both in-store and digital selling with effective use of selling tools (inclusive of text and social media)
- Build lasting relationships with customers
- Give the best service to our customers on their terms
- Provide honest and confident feedback to customers about style and fit
- Seek fashion and product knowledge to build your expertise
- Work with the team to keep the department customer ready, which means filling orders, stocking, re-merchandising, price markdowns, and light cleaning
- Grow relationships by opening new Nordstrom Rewards program accounts
Also maybe include "The hours and schedule for this position will vary by week depending on business needs" and "This role may require you to be flexible to occasionally performing work/duties in a department other than the one you were hired into". Those are more about schedule and flexibility; could go under Schedule and maybe Responsibilities? The schedule info is about hours varying; the occasional other department duty is a responsibility? Could be responsibility but also schedule. We'll treat schedule separately.
Thus Responsibilities list as above.
Skills: list from "You own this if you have…":
- Excellent communication and people skills
- A self-motivated, goal oriented focus
- Strong interest to use networking and technology to achieve sales goals
- The ability to excel in a team environment
- The ability to prioritize multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment
- Organization and follow through
- The ability to work a flexible schedule based on business needs
Note: The last item about flexible schedule overlaps with schedule section; but we keep it in skills as it's a skill.
Benefits: The posting says:
"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"
We need to preserve all substantive information, but we must remove application instructions and boilerplate. The URL is part of benefits info; is that considered boilerplate? It's a link to benefits overview; it's substantive. Should we keep it? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The URL is not those; it's a reference to benefits overview. Likely we should keep it as part of benefits. However, we must not include application instructions like "To apply, log into Workday..." etc. That's later.
Thus benefits paragraph: we can combine into a
that includes the benefits list. Could also make a
for benefits list. The posting includes two lists: first "Medical/Vision, Dental, Retirement and Paid Time AwayLife Insurance and DisabilityMerchandise Discount and EAP Resources" (some weird formatting). Then later "Benefits include 401k, medical/vision/dental/life/disability insurance options, PTO accruals, Holidays, and more." We could combine into a single list: Medical, Vision, Dental, Retirement, Paid Time Away, Life Insurance, Disability, Merchandise Discount, EAP Resources, 401k, PTO accruals, Holidays, plus performance-based incentives/bonuses. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We need to preserve the exact phrasing? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the information as given, not rephrase or combine incorrectly. However we can format as list items but must keep the substance. It's okay to break into list items as long as we don't lose info. The original text includes some run-together phrases; we can interpret them.
Better to keep as a that includes the sentences exactly as they appear, maybe with minor punctuation fixes? The instruction says do not invent or summarize away detail; minor formatting changes likely okay. We'll keep the substance.
Thus benefits section:
Benefits
... (the benefits paragraph). We'll include the URL as part of the paragraph.
Pay: we have:
"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. $19.40 - $20.20 Hourly At Nordstrom, the commission most selling employees receive varies based on the merchandise they sell. Apparel, shoes, and accessories sales typically range from 3% to 14.5%. The commission Beauty and Men’s Fragrance sales roles typically receive is 3%."
We need to keep all that. Could be a
.
Schedule: we have:
"The hours and schedule for this position will vary by week depending on business needs"
Also maybe "The ability to work a flexible schedule based on business needs" is in skills but schedule section can include the hours varying.
Thus schedule section:
Schedule
The hours and schedule for this position will vary by week depending on business needs.
We should not include the flexible schedule ability again.
Now we need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The "You own this if you have…" list includes "Organization and follow through". Keep.
Also "A self-motivated, goal oriented focus". Keep.
Also "Strong interest to use networking and technology to achieve sales goals". Keep.
Also "The ability to excel in a team environment". Keep.
Also "The ability to prioritize multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment". Keep.
Also "Excellent communication and people skills". Keep.
Also "The ability to work a flexible schedule based on business needs". Already in skills.
Now check if any other substantive info: The initial paragraph about "A day in the life…" maybe we should keep that heading? It's not a required heading but we can incorporate into responsibilities.
We also have "The ideal Salesperson is passionate about fashion and styling and has the ability to cultivate and grow a customer following, both digitally and in-store." That's about the role.
Now check for any other info like "This role may require you to be flexible to occasionally performing work/duties in a department other than the one you were hired into". That's a responsibility (flexibility to work in other department). Should we include it under Responsibilities? Yes, it's a duty/respons
