Senior Quotations Specialist - Gear and Lighting
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove the repeated EEO statements at end. Also remove "Physical Demands" details? They are substantive; we should keep them. However we need to decide how to format them: they are a list of physical demands with percentages. Could be a list.
We also have "Additional Information" includes Physical Demands, Weight And Force Demands, Working Environment. Could group under a section "Additional Information" with sublists? But we only have headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The instruction says: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests we can use those headings, but we can also use other headings? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect we use those headings when appropriate. But we can also add other headings if needed? 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 suggests those are typical. We'll try to map content to those headings.
We have:
- Company Description: could be "About the role"? Actually About the role is more about the job, not company. But we could use "About the role" for summary of role. However we have a Summary section already. Could treat "About the role" as summary.
- Responsibilities: What You'll Do (list of duties). Also Job Duties Disclaimer is a note; we could include as a paragraph under Responsibilities.
- Requirements: Qualifications (What You'll Need) plus Knowledge, Skills & Abilities.
- Skills: maybe separate? But we can combine.
- Benefits: Benefits list.
- Pay: not present, so omit.
- Schedule: Work Hours.
We also have Additional Information (Physical Demands, etc.) maybe could be under "Requirements" or a separate section like "Working Conditions". Not in the list but we could still use for "Working Conditions" or "Physical Demands". The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but to be safe we could incorporate Physical Demands under "Requirements" or "Additional Information" as a subsection using
maybe. But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can include as a
under a heading like "Additional Information". Since they didn't list that heading, but they said "e.g." meaning examples, not exhaustive. So we can add other headings.
Thus produce:

Now ensure no boilerplate: removed EEO statements, removed "Our goal is to create a workplace..." maybe that's also boilerplate? It's about EEO/diversity; could be considered boilerplate. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. That paragraph about goal to create workplace where everyone feels respected... is likely EEO boilerplate. So remove it.
Also remove "Rexel USA (A VEVRAA Federal Contractor), and its affiliated companies, is an EEO/Disabled/Veterans employer. All qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment without regard to any characteristics protected by law." That's definitely boilerplate; remove both occurrences
for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail.
