We need to extract substantive info: description, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay, schedule.
We have:
- About the role: maybe the introductory paragraph describing role and location, mission, etc.
- Responsibilities: the "In This Role, You Will ..." list.
- Requirements: "To Be Successful In This Role, You Will Have ..." includes security clearance, US citizenship, education, experience, physical exam, travel.
- Qualifications: maybe overlapping with requirements; but we can treat "Additional Desired Experience And Skills" as Skills or Qualifications.
- Skills: certifications, overseas experience, military communications.
- Benefits: the Benefits section listing medical, dental, vision, vacation, sick leave, flexible work, 401(k) matching, tuition reimbursement, life insurance, disability coverage, optional coverages, birth/adoption/parental leave, Employee Assistance Plan.
- Pay: The Pay Transparency section mentions competitive pay, performance-based incentives, benefits, but no specific numbers. It says "Salary range: The range for this position can be found at the top of this posting." No actual range given. Since we don't have actual numbers, we should not create a Pay section if it's just generic statements without specific numbers. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits we have specific list, so we can include Benefits. Pay: they mention competitive pay etc but no specific range; it's generic. Should we include Pay? The rule says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "Pay Transparency Our Total Rewards package includes competitive pay, performance-based incentives, and benefits..." That's still generic but it's stating something about pay. However they also say "Salary range: The range for this position can be found at the top of this posting." No actual range. Since we don't have a specific number, maybe we should not include Pay section because it's not substantive. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could omit Pay.
- Schedule: Not mentioned besides "Up to 10% Travel". That's travel, not schedule. No schedule info. So omit Schedule.
Now we need to format with headings and - for lists,
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to remove boilerplate: navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove links? Probably keep them if they are part of substantive info? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Links to veterans support, benefits pages, etc might be considered navigation? Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The links to veterans support and benefits pages might be considered navigation; but they are part of the posting. However they might be considered "application instructions"? Not exactly. The instruction says remove application instructions. The links to benefits pages are not application instructions. But they are more like references. Might be okay to keep? However they are URLs; we could keep them as part of prose. But we might also drop them if they are considered navigation. Safer to keep them? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So navigation includes links like "Visit the following link for more information about how Serco supports our Veterans". That's navigation. So we should remove that sentence/link. Also "To review Serco benefits please visit: https://careers.serco-na.com/us/en/what-we-offer." That's navigation. Also "To review all Serco benefits please visit: https://careers.serco-na.com/us/en/about-us." Also navigation. Also "If you require an accommodation with the application process please email: careers@serco-na.com or call the HR Service Desk at 800-628-6458
