We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warnings, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Title: STILT WALKING MONSTERS (Knott’s Scary Farm)
- Casting experienced, versatile, agile STILT WALKERS for 2026 season.
- Ideal candidate: able to comfortably and confidently perform on stilts in a safe manner for extended periods while being "in-character" as a KSF Monster.
- Thursday-Sunday availability preferred.
- Previous Stilt Walking experience required.
- Event uses Articulated/Drywall/Painter stilts; need experience performing on this style.
- Compensated at $18.03/hr.
- Audition info: after application, eligible applicants receive private link to schedule online audition. (But we should remove application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. However audition info might be considered part of process; but we need to preserve substantive info. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So audition instructions might be considered application instructions. We need to decide. The posting includes "AUDITION INFO After an application has been submitted, eligible applicants will receive a private link to schedule an online audition." That's basically application instruction. Likely we should remove it. However we might keep the info about audition? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should omit that line.
- Event dates list: many dates in September and October. Provide as schedule? Could be schedule section. The posting includes "KNOTT'S SCARY FARM EVENT DATES* (September) 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 26, 27 (October) 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, 22, 23, 24, 25, 29, 30, 31 Event dates are subject to change". That's schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section with those dates.
- Then a bunch of responsibilities bullet-like sentences: "Uses creativity and common sense while startling and scaring guests in a safe and effective manner that utilizes performance techniques taught in training", etc. Those are responsibilities/duties. We'll put them under Responsibilities as
- .
- Also includes: "Maintains cleanliness and safety in assigned work area and performs all duties in compliance with Six Flags Safety guidelines and requirements and reports all unsafe or unusual conditions to supervision". That's also responsibility.
- "Meets scheduling availability requirements that include nights, weekends, and holidays". That's schedule/requirements.
- "Fulfills Scary Farm’s attendance requirements as outlined in the Six Flags attendance policy". Could be requirement.
- "Adheres to the Six Flags Rules of Conduct including specific costuming and grooming standards as outlined in Employee Guidelines and other park/division specific policies and procedures". That's requirement.
- "Other duties may be assigned". That's generic; maybe we can include but it's not specific. Might be okay.
- "Availability to work all assigned Scary Farm training and event dates (Thursday-Sunday) which includes weekday/weekends nights and holidays. Some shifts start as early as 3pm and some shifts go as late as 3am". That's schedule.
- "Stilt-walking Experience Required". That's requirement.
- "Experience in stage acting or haunted attractions helpful, but not required". That's qualification/skill.
- "Willingness and ability to wear heavy make‑up and/or a mask that covers the entire face for extended periods of time in varying Southern California temperatures and weather conditions". That's requirement/qualification.
- "Ability to pass a background check, if 18 years of age or older, which may include, but is not limited to, credit, criminal, and DMV". That's requirement.
- "Provide record of previous employment, education, and personal references, per Company policy, unless prohibited by federal, state, or provincial law". That's requirement (application instruction? but it's a requirement to provide records). Might be considered application instruction? It's a requirement for hiring. We'll keep as requirement.
- Also "Performers must be at least 18 years old." That's requirement.
- "We support a drug-free workplace and perform physicals and background checks." That's requirement.
Now we need to decide sections.
We have:
About the role: could be a brief paragraph summarizing the role: casting experienced stilt walkers for Knott's Scary Farm, performing as monster, etc.
Responsibilities: the bullet list of duties (the long list starting with "Uses creativity...").
Requirements: maybe list of mandatory requirements: previous stilt walking experience required, experience with articulated/drywall/painter stilts, Thursday-Sunday availability preferred, ability to pass background check, must be 18+, willingness to wear heavy makeup/mask, provide records, drug-free workplace, physicals, etc.
Qualifications: maybe helpful but not required: experience in stage acting or haunted attractions helpful.
Skills: maybe creativity, teamwork, guest service, etc. But we could combine.
Benefits: not mentioned. No benefits info. So we should not include Benefits section.
Pay: we have $18.03/hour. So we can include Pay section with that.
Schedule: we have event dates list and shift times. So include Schedule section.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft.
