We should ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "Reasonable accommodations may be made..." That's part of Qualifications and Physical Demands sections. Should we keep that? It's boilerplate but it's part of the posting. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Reasonable accommodations may be made..." is not EEO but it's a standard ADA statement. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not explicitly listed but could be considered generic. However it's part of the qualifications and physical demands sections. The instruction says to preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The reasonable accommodations statement is substantive? It's a standard legal statement. Might be considered boilerplate but not explicitly listed. Safer to keep it? The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Reasonable accommodations is related to ADA, not EEO. Might be okay to keep. However it's repetitive: appears in Qualifications and Physical Demands sections. Could be considered duplicated lines. Might be better to remove duplicates. But we have them in two places; we could keep one instance? The instruction: remove duplicated lines. If the same sentence appears multiple times, we should keep only one. The sentence "Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions." appears under Qualifications and Physical Demands. We should keep only one occurrence. Let's keep it under Qualifications maybe.
Thus adjust Qualifications: include that sentence as a list item? It's not a requirement but a statement. Could be a after list. But we need to preserve. We'll add a
after the list:
Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
Similarly Physical Demands section may not need that sentence.
Now check for any other duplicated lines: "Equal Opportunity Employer" removed. "Notice to Prospective Employees" removed. "Please review our Affirmative Action Policy ." removed. "Notice to prospective employees: There have been fraudulent postings..." removed. Good.
Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The company overview includes video link. Keep.
Job Summary details included in About the role paragraph.
Responsibilities list includes all items.
Qualifications list includes education/experience, knowledge.
Skills list includes physical demands, abilities, commute.
