Surgical Technician - PRN
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove contact phone line? That's application instruction; we should drop it. Also drop "If you need assistance with this application, please contact ..." and "Please do not contact the office directly – only resumes submitted through this website will be considered." Also drop EEO statement.
We need to preserve all substantive information: job title, company, location, hours, summary, essential duties, responsibilities, qualifications, education/experience, licenses, systems and technology, physical demands.
We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities (essential duties), Requirements (maybe includes high school diploma, background check, computer skills, customer service, excitement to learn), Qualifications (maybe includes ability to prioritize, stress, manual dexterity, etc), Skills (maybe includes communication, organization, teamwork, BLS, CST preferred, software knowledge), Benefits (none stated), Pay (none), Schedule (hours: PRN, Monday-Friday 6am-5pm, shift within those hours, may need earlier/later, no late nights, weekends, on-call, holidays). So we can include Schedule section.
Also maybe include "Education and/or Experience" as part of Qualifications or Requirements? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map content accordingly.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not invent sections. So we will include sections where we have content.
Let's extract content:

Systems and Technology: To perform this job successfully, an individual should have knowledge of Amkai Charts Database software and Microsoft Word. Proficient in Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook.
Physical Demands: description.
We may also include Skills section: maybe combine communication, organization, teamwork, technical software knowledge, BLS, CST preferred. But we already have Qualifications covering many. Could still create Skills section for technical skills: Amkai Charts, MS Office, etc. But we need to avoid duplication? It's okay to have overlapping but we must preserve all info. Could put software knowledge under Skills.
We need to decide sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (essential duties), Requirements (the bullet list), Qualifications (abilities), Skills (technical skills: software, BLS, CST), Schedule (hours). Possibly also include Education/Experience under Qualifications or Requirements? But we already have Requirements includes HS diploma; Education/Experience could be part of Qualifications. But we can also add a separate "Education and Experience" section? Not in allowed headings list; but we could put under Qualifications. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings when appropriate. It doesn't say we cannot add other headings, but better to stick to those. So we can map Education/Experience into Qualifications or Requirements. Since Requirements already includes HS diploma, we could add the experience preference there. But Requirements currently list: HS diploma, background check, computer skills, customer service, excitement to learn. We could add "Two (2) years of hospital main operating room experience preferred" under Requirements as well. That seems okay.
Licenses and Credentials could go under Requirements or Qualifications. Probably under Requirements as they are required/preferred credentials. But we already have Requirements list; we can add BLS required, CST preferred.
Systems and Technology could go under Skills.
Physical Demands maybe could be its own section? Not in list but could be under Requirements? Might be better to add a section "Physical Demands" but not in allowed list; maybe we can incorporate into Qualifications? But it's about physical abilities, could be under Qualifications. However Qualifications already about abilities; we could add physical demands there. But to avoid missing info, we could create a section "Physical Demands" as a heading? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't explicitly forbid other headings, but says "Use for section headings (e.g ...)". It implies we should use those headings for sections. It might be okay to add other headings if needed, but better to stay within given list. However physical demands is substantive; we could put under Qualifications as "Physical demands: ..." but that may be mixing.
Alternatively we could create a section "Requirements" and include physical demands there. But Requirements already about prerequisites; physical demands could be considered a requirement. So we can add physical demands under Requirements.
Thus we can have sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (essential duties), Requirements (includes HS diploma, background check, computer skills, customer service, excitement to learn, experience preference, BLS required, CST preferred, physical demands), Qualifications (abilities to prioritize, stress, manual dexterity, emotional stability, schedule adherence, organization, teamwork, communication), Skills (technical: Amkai Charts, MS Office suite), Schedule (hours). No Benefits, Pay.
