We need to extract sections:
- About the role: The initial paragraph(s) describing the role. Could be "The Role:" paragraph. We'll put that as About the role.
- Responsibilities: "What You'll Do:" list of duties.
- Requirements: maybe "Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):" includes required qualifications. Could be Requirements or Qualifications. We'll decide: Requirements for required qualifications, Qualifications for maybe education? But we have both. The posting lumps them together. We can treat as Requirements (or Qualifications). Since we need to avoid thin sections, we can combine into one section maybe "Requirements". But we need to follow instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include multiple if content exists. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills (maybe separate), Benefits. No explicit Pay or Schedule. So we omit those.
We have "Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):" which includes both skills and qualifications. Could split into Skills and Qualifications but they'd be thin. Better to combine into one section, maybe "Requirements". Or we could have "Skills" and "Qualifications" each with content. Let's see if we can separate: Skills: Creativity, independence, Autonomy, Problem solving, design judgment, team spirit, volume understanding. Ability to work independently and lead a team as well as provide mentoring. Qualifications: Minimum 5 years of experience in an OEM design studio. Bachelor’s Degree in Design (Automotive, Transportation, Industrial…). Strong understanding of form, 2-D to 3-D interpretation, and ability to visualize. For your portfolio; several series of sketches and ideations, production program experience samples.
We could create two sections: Requirements (maybe experience/education) and Skills (abilities). But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. If we split, each may be substantive enough. Let's see: Requirements: Minimum 5 years experience, Bachelor's degree, strong understanding of form, portfolio. That's substantive. Skills: Creativity, independence, Autonomy, Problem solving, design judgment, team spirit, volume understanding, ability to work independently and lead a team, provide mentoring. That's also substantive. So we can have both.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits.
We need to format lists with - . For prose, use
.
We must not include boilerplate like Non-Discrimination etc. Also remove "About GM", "Why Join Us" maybe not needed as they are not specific to role? They are generic company info. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About GM" and "Why Join Us" are not exactly boilerplate but could be considered generic. However they are substantive about company vision and culture. Might be okay to include? The instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. "About GM" and "Why Join Us" are specific content (vision, mission). Could be included under maybe "About GM" but we don't have a heading for that. We only have allowed headings list. Could we put that under "About the role"? Probably not. Better to omit them as they are not role-specific. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. But we can omit generic company info? It's substantive but not role-specific. The instruction about sections: only include heading when posting has real, specific content for it. It doesn't forbid omitting other content. However "preserve ALL substantive information" suggests we should keep all info, not just role-specific. But we cannot create headings outside allowed list. Could we embed that info in a
under About the role? Might be okay to add a paragraph about GM vision under About the role? But that would be mixing. The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. Likely they expect only those headings. So we should fit all content under those headings. We could put "About GM" and "Why Join Us" under "About the role" as additional paragraphs. That would preserve info.
Thus About the role section will include the initial role description plus the GM vision and why join us paragraphs.
Now Benefits: we have "Benefits Overview From day one, we're looking out for your well-being–at work and at home–so you can focus on realizing your ambitions. Learn how GM supports a rewarding career that rewards you personally by visiting Total Rewards resources." That's substantive. We'll put as Benefits.
