for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". We must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions, cookie/navigation, etc. Also remove "Similar Jobs" and "Apply Now" etc.
We need to decide which headings map to content.
We have:
- Intro: "Join the Cold Chain That Feeds the World..." This is about company and role overview. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About Americold". Use About the role
with paragraph.
- "What You'll Do": responsibilities. Use Responsibilities
with - list.
- "Essential Functions": could be part of responsibilities, but it's more detailed list. Could combine with responsibilities or separate? The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine "What You'll Do" and "Essential Functions" into one Responsibilities section. But we need to preserve all info; we can merge them into a single list.
- "What Experience And Education You Need": qualifications/requirements. Use
Requirements
with list.
- "What Could Set You Apart": preferred qualifications/skills. Could be Preferred Qualifications
or Skills
. Since we have Skills heading allowed. Use Skills
for those.
- "Physical Requirements": could be a separate section? Not in allowed headings list but we could maybe put under Requirements? But it's substantive. The allowed headings list includes: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Physical Requirements not listed; but we could incorporate into Requirements or maybe omit? The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning those are examples, not exclusive? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect those headings only. But we could still use other headings if needed? Safer to stick to those. Physical Requirements could be placed under Requirements or maybe under a separate section but not in list; maybe we can omit? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include physical requirements somewhere. Could add a Requirements
and include both experience/education and physical requirements as sub-items. That would be okay.
- "What We Offer": benefits. Use Benefits
with list.
- Pay and Schedule: not present, so omit.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits.
We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions, similar jobs, apply now.
