Senior Human Resources Generalist
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should have About the role heading with overview paragraph.
Responsibilities: we have a big list. We'll put under Responsibilities
with - each bullet.
Requirements: maybe combine Qualifications? The posting has "Qualifications Education and Experience:" and then "Required Skills". We can treat Qualifications as education/experience, and Skills as separate section. The instruction says we can have Qualifications and Skills sections. So we will have Qualifications heading with education/experience details. Skills heading with required skills list.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, confidentiality agreement, etc. Also remove "Our Commitment to Inclusion" etc. Also remove "To learn more, please visit..." etc. Also remove "Posted Min Pay Rate" etc? Actually we need to include Pay section, so we keep that info. The "Posted Min Pay Rate" and "Posted Max Pay Rate" lines we can include in Pay section.
We must not include "Regular attendance required" maybe as part of Requirements? It's a requirement. Could be included under Qualifications or Skills? It's a requirement. We could put under Qualifications as a bullet? But it's not education/experience. Might be better to put under Requirements? But we don't have a Requirements section separate from Qualifications? The instruction lists Requirements as a possible heading. We could use Requirements for things like "Must be able to pass a pre-employment physical, drug screen, and assessment", "Must be eligible to work in the United States, visa sponsorships are not available", "Regular attendance required". Also "Willingness to travel between both York and Wellsville plant locations". Also "Bilingual in Spanish (verbal and written communication) a plus but not required" maybe under Skills? Actually it's a plus. We'll handle.
Thus we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (education/experience), Skills (required skills), Benefits, Pay.
We might also include Requirements as separate if we have distinct items not covered elsewhere. But we can incorporate travel willingness, eligibility, physical, etc. into Qualifications or Skills? The instruction says we can have Qualifications and Skills sections. It didn't forbid having Requirements. But we can decide to not create a Requirements section if we can fit those items elsewhere without losing info. However we must preserve ALL substantive information. If we put travel willingness, eligibility, physical, etc. under Qualifications, that's okay as long as we keep them. Qualifications heading originally is for education and experience, but we can expand to include other qualifications like travel, eligibility, etc. That's acceptable.
Similarly, Skills section can hold required skills list.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have no such.
Now craft HTML.
We'll start with
About the role
then overview paragraph.
