Senior Director of Community Living
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. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to decide which sections to include: We have Salary Range: $95,000-105,000 (Pay). Benefits: list. So we can have Pay and Benefits sections. Also maybe About the role (Job Description). Responsibilities (Job Responsibilities). Requirements (Education /Skills/ Experience). Qualifications maybe same as Requirements? Could combine. Skills maybe part of Requirements. But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine Education/Skills/Experience be a Requirements section. Also Working Conditions maybe part of Responsibilities? Could be separate but maybe thin. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role (Job Description + Mission + Who We Are?), Responsibilities, Requirements (Education/Skills/Experience + Working Conditions?), Benefits, Pay. That's four sections.
But we need to follow heading names: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose subset. Use About the role for overview (Job Description, Mission, Who We Are). Responsibilities for Job Responsibilities. Requirements for Education/Skills/Experience and maybe Working Conditions? Could also include Qualifications separate but maybe thin. Better to have Requirements covering education, experience, skills. Working Conditions maybe part of Responsibilities? Could be separate but might be thin. However we can include Working Conditions under Requirements as a bullet? Might be okay.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Senior Director of Community Living.
We must not include Job ID etc. There's none.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO statement, How to Apply, Recent Jobs, etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information: include mission, who we are, salary range, benefits list, responsibilities bullet points, education/skills/experience bullet points, working conditions bullet points.
We need to format lists with
- . For prose use
.
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state Salary Range and Benefits, so we can have Pay and Benefits sections.
Schedule: not specified, so we should not create Schedule section.
