Sous Chef - Kitchen
for section headings. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Please visit www.lambertvillestation.com for a comprehensive introduction to our property." That's maybe not boilerplate but it's a link; we can keep? It's not a duty; maybe keep as part of summary? It's not essential but it's info. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that link? It's not a duty but it's info about property. Could be considered part of Job Summary. We'll keep as a
. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe Job Summary + Job Overview), Responsibilities (Job Description), Requirements (Education And Experience + maybe Skills?), Benefits (Benefits). Also maybe Skills? The posting includes many skill requirements; we could put them under Requirements or Skills. Since we prefer few substantive sections, we could combine Requirements and Skills into one section titled Requirements (or Qualifications). But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which to include based on content. We have no Pay or Schedule specifics. So we omit those. Benefits we have. Education And Experience we have. Skills we have many. Could combine Requirements and Skills into one section? But we have separate headings possible. To avoid thin sections, we could make one "Requirements" that includes education, experience, skills, certifications. Or we could make "Qualifications" for education/experience and "Skills" for skill list. But that may be thin. Let's see: Education And Experience: high school diploma or equivalent, bilingual Spanish a plus. That's short. Skills list is long. Could combine them into "Requirements". That seems reasonable. Thus sections: About the role (Job Summary + Job Overview), Responsibilities (Job Description), Requirements (Education And Experience + Skills + Certifications), Benefits. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use
for each section heading.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities we list each duty as
- . For requirements we list each requirement as
- . For benefits we list each benefit as
- . For About the role we can use prose
.
We must preserve all substantive information. Let's extract.

We need to preserve this info. It's not a duty but part of job description? Could be under Responsibilities? Might be better to include under Requirements? But it's physical demands. Could be part of Responsibilities? Usually physical demands are separate but we have no heading for that. Could include under Requirements as bullet points. We'll include them as list items under Requirements.
Education And Experience: "High school diploma and or equivalentBilingual in Spanish a plus, however, not required"
Benefits: "Medical insurancePaid time off for sick time Eligible to participate in the company’s 401(k) program with employer matchingDiscounts on Hotels, Restaurants Visit us at https://www.genesis-hospitality.com/ Genesis Hospitality is part of Genesis Global Group and is an equal opportunity employer."
We need to remove boilerplate: "Genesis Hospitality is part of Genesis Global Group and is an equal opportunity employer." That's EEO boilerplate; remove. Also "Visit us at https://www.genesis-hospitality.com/" maybe keep as link? It's not boilerplate but it's a reference; could keep as part of benefits? It's a URL; maybe keep as plain text. But it's not a benefit; it's just a link. Could keep as a
after benefits? Might be considered boilerplate? Not sure. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The equal opportunity line is EEO; remove. The "Visit us at https://www.genesis-hospitality.com/" is not EEO; it's a link to parent company; could keep but it's not a benefit. Might be considered navigation? Not exactly. Safer to keep as a
after benefits? But it's not a benefit; maybe we can include it as part of Benefits section as a link? The benefits list includes medical insurance, paid time off, 401(k), discounts on hotels, restaurants. The URL is extra. We could include it as a
after the benefits list.
Now we need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines. Check for duplicates: The job description includes many similar phrases like "Ability to work in fast-paced environment and work well under pressure." and earlier "Must be able to work well under pressure in a fast-paced environment." Might be considered duplicate but we should keep both? The instruction: remove duplicated lines. If they are essentially same meaning, we might deduplicate. But they are slightly different wording. Safer to keep both? Might be considered duplicated. I'd deduplicate by keeping one instance. Let's identify duplicates:
- "Must be able to work well under pressure in a fast-paced environment." (from Job Overview)
- "Ability to work in fast-paced environment and work well under pressure." (from Job Description list)
These are similar; we can keep one.
- "Attention to detail, an ability to multi-task and time management skills." appears also earlier? In Job Overview: "strong organizational and time management skills." Not same.
- "Well-developed and multi-tasking, organizational skills, and detailed oriented." similar to organizational skills.
We could keep them but risk duplication. I'd keep unique items.
Let's compile unique responsibilities:
From Job Overview (we could treat as part of About the role, not responsibilities). But we already have About the role containing summary and overview. So responsibilities list should be from Job Description only.
Let's list duties from Job Description (unique):
1. Be ServSafe Certified.
2. Have knowledge of allergies and dictating needs.
