Instructions on how to submit your resume are provided in the automated email you will receive once you apply. Requisition Number 77092 Posting End Date 10/03/2026 We need to remove application instructions (like "Instructions on how to submit your resume are provided in the automated email you will receive once you apply.") and maybe also "Resume requirement: Resume may not exceed two pages and font size should be no smaller than 10pts." That's still substantive? It's about resume requirement; maybe considered application instruction? The instruction says remove application instructions. The resume requirement is part of application instructions? Probably yes, it's about how to submit resume. So we should drop that line. Also drop "Instructions on how to submit your resume are provided in the automated email you will receive once you apply." Also drop "Requisition Number 77092" and "Posting End Date 10/03/2026" as minor metadata; we can fold into a short
or drop. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short
with that info, maybe at top or bottom. But we could also drop it entirely. Safer to include a short
with "Requisition 77092; posting ends 10/03/2026." That is minor metadata. We need sections: About the role (maybe from Job Overview). Responsibilities (Duties). Requirements (Required Qualifications). Qualifications (maybe Desired Qualifications). Skills (maybe from desired qualifications? Could combine). Benefits, Pay, Schedule: only include if posting actually states them. Telework yes, situational telework; that's schedule/benefit? Telework is a work arrangement, could be considered Schedule? The instruction: include Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections only if posting actually states them. Telework is mentioned; maybe we can put under Schedule? Or Benefits? Telework is a work arrangement, not exactly pay/benefit. Could be under Schedule (telework eligibility). There's also "Eligible for a Referral Bonus? No" which is a benefit? That's a benefit info. So we could have Benefits section: "Eligible for a Referral Bonus: No." Telework: situational telework eligible. So we can include Benefits and Schedule sections. But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
Thus we need to capture all bullet points exactly as given, maybe rephrase slightly? Must preserve meaning; we can keep same phrasing.
