Traffic Anchor and Producer
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should choose appropriate headings based on content. We have About the role (What We Need). Responsibilities (What You'll Do). Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (What You'll Need and What You'll Bring). Could combine into Requirements or Qualifications. Since we prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones, we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (covering both Need and Bring), Benefits, Pay. Avoid Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must keep details like bullet points.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, we need to convert each line into
- . Similarly for qualifications list.
We need to use
for prose.
We must remove boilerplate: the initial lines about Total Traffic + Weather Network, click here to apply, etc. Also remove EEO, E-Verify, etc. Also remove "We are accepting applications..." etc. Also remove "Non-Compete will be required..." etc. Also remove "Click here to learn about E-Verify." Also remove the initial promotional paragraphs about iHeart? Those are substantive? They are about company but not directly about the role. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The promotional paragraphs about iHeart are part of the posting; they are substantive? They describe company. Might be considered boilerplate? Not exactly navigation/legal/EEO. It's company overview. Might be considered part of About the role? Could be included but maybe not needed. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The company overview is not those. So we should keep it? It's part of the posting. However, we need to decide if we include it in About the role section. The "What We Need" already describes role. The company overview could be placed before About the role as a
. But we have no heading for company overview; we could just include a
before the About the role heading. That's allowed.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat.
