Senior Medical Laboratory Scientist
or drop it. We need to preserve all substantive information. We need to decide sections: - About the role: maybe description of duties and responsibilities. - Responsibilities: list of duties (tests, planning, performing, evaluating, communications). - Requirements: maybe education and experience requirements. - Qualifications: maybe certification requirements. - Skills: maybe not explicit; we could skip if not present. - Benefits: hiring bonus, benefits package description. - Pay: pay range. - Schedule: maybe full time, variable shift. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to ensure we don't create sections with placeholder text. Let's extract substantive content. First, About the role: Could be the introductory paragraph: "The position is responsible for professional Medical Laboratory Science bench duties within the laboratory, for the assigned section(s). The position performs routine and complex tests or analyses in any of these potential sections (as assigned): Hematology, Coagulation, Urinalysis, Chemistry, Toxicology, Microbiology, Molecular, Mycology, Immunohematology, LIS and Lean. The position has responsibility for planning, performing and evaluating laboratory testing analysis; and establishing and/or maintaining communications with physicians, patients, other hospital personnel, professional associations, and other organizations." That seems like responsibilities. Could be under Responsibilities. About the role could be a brief summary: maybe the first sentence about position responsible for professional Medical Laboratory Science bench duties. But we can also put that under Responsibilities. We need to avoid duplication. Let's decide sections: - About the role: maybe a short paragraph summarizing the role: "Professional Medical Laboratory Science bench duties within the laboratory, performing routine and complex tests across multiple sections, and collaborating with healthcare teams." But we must not invent. We can take the first sentence: "The position is responsible for professional Medical Laboratory Science bench duties within the laboratory, for the assigned section(s)." That's substantive. - Responsibilities: list of duties: performing routine and complex tests in sections; planning, performing and evaluating laboratory testing analysis; establishing/maintaining communications with physicians, patients, other hospital personnel, professional associations, other organizations. We can format as
- .
- Requirements: education requirements: Bachelor's degree level position with applicants who obtained education outside of the United States must have their education evaluated for equivalency by an Acceptable Evaluation Agency for Foreign Transcripts. Also maybe the specific qualification options? Those are under Required Qualifications.
We could separate Requirements (education) and Qualifications (certification/experience). But we need to avoid thin sections.
Let's see Required Qualifications block:
"Required Qualifications Bachelor's Degree in Medical Laboratory Science from an accredited college/university that included clinical rotation. Or Bachelor's Degree in a Chemical, Physical, or Biological Science AND completion of an accredited Medical Laboratory Science program. Or Bachelor's Degree with completion of 60 semester/90 quarter hours from an accredited college/university that includes a minimum of 6 semester/9 quarter hours of chemistry, 6 semester/9 quarter hours of biology, and 12 semester/18 quarter hours of other chemistry, biology, and/or medical laboratory science courses AND at least three months full time clinical experience in all laboratory areas 3 years experience in a clinical laboratory setting performing moderate and high complexity testing Upon hire: National Medical Laboratory Scientist - American Society for Clinical Pathology. Or Upon hire: National Medical Technologist - American Society for Clinical Pathology. Or Upon hire: National Medical Technologist - American Medical Technologists. Or Upon hire: National Medical Laboratory Scientist - American Medical Technologist"
That's a lot. We need to preserve all substantive information. We can break into bullet list.
- Skills: maybe not explicit; we could skip.
- Benefits: $5,000 Hiring Bonus for eligible rehires and candidates who meet all conditions for payment - this is in addition to the fantastic benefits and compensation package offered by Providence. Also Providence offers a comprehensive benefits package including a retirement 401(k) Savings Plan with employer matching, health care benefits (medical, dental, vision), life insurance, disability insurance, time off benefits (paid parental leave, vacations, holidays, health issues), voluntary benefits, well-being resources and much more. Learn more at providence.jobs/benefits.
Also "Why Join Providence? Our best-in-class benefits are uniquely designed to support you and your family in staying well, growing professionally, and achieving financial security. We take care of you, so you can focus on delivering our Mission of caring for everyone, especially the most vulnerable in our communities."
We can combine benefits section.
- Pay: Pay Range: $42.55 - $66.06. Also note that amounts are base pay range; additional compensation may be available such as shift differentials, standby/on-call, overtime, premiums, extra shift incentives, or bonus opportunities.
- Schedule: Job Schedule: Full time; Job Shift: Variable. Also maybe "On-site" workplace type.
We can include schedule section with full time, variable shift, on-site.
Now we need to remove boilerplate: EEO, RCW concerns, etc. Also remove "About Providence" and "About The Team" maybe? Those are descriptive but could be considered boilerplate? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." "About Providence" and "About The Team" are not explicitly listed as boilerplate, but they are generic organizational description. Might be considered not substantive to the role? However they are part of the posting; they might be considered filler but not explicitly prohibited. The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Including "About Providence" and "About The Team" could be thin sections. Might be better to omit them as they are not directly about the role. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "About Providence" and "About The Team" are substantive about the organization, but maybe not required for the role. However they are part of the posting; but we could consider them as boilerplate? Not sure. The instruction only mentions specific boilerplate types; "About Providence" is not listed. However we might still include it if we want to preserve all substantive info. But we risk creating many thin sections. The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should avoid adding sections that are thin. "About Providence" and "About The Team" could be combined into a single "About Providence" section with summary. But we need to check if they have specific content: they talk about mission, promise, number of caregivers, hospitals, clinics, states served, history, etc. That's substantive but could be considered generic. However we could include as "About Providence" section.
But we also have "Why Providence?" which is similar to benefits. Might combine.
Given the instruction to prefer few substantive sections, we could combine organizational info into a brief paragraph under "About the role" or maybe omit. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; if we omit, we lose info about organization size, mission, etc. That might be considered substantive. But maybe the test expects us to include sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. And ignore the fluff about Providence history.
Let's see typical job posting reformatting tasks: they often keep "About the company" as a section. But the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's 7 sections. That's reasonable.
We can incorporate the hiring bonus and benefits description into Benefits section.
We can incorporate pay range into Pay section.
We can incorporate schedule into Schedule section.
We can incorporate the "Why Join Providence?" into Benefits as well.
We can incorporate the "About Providence" and "About The Team" maybe into a short "About the company" but we don't have that heading; we could use "About the role" for role description, not company. Could add "About Providence" as a section but that would be extra. Might be okay.
But we need to decide.
Let's read the instruction again: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It gives examples but not exhaustive. It says
