Additional Requirements: background check, drug test, etc. How To Apply: instructions (should be removed as application instructions boilerplate). Remove.

Contact info is not application instructions; but could be considered part of application? Might be okay to keep? However they said "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." Contact info maybe minor metadata; could be placed in a p.

  • for list. Pay: we have salary ranges for both TA and TG. Should we include Pay section? Yes, posting states them. So we can include Pay section with both ranges. Schedule: we have hours of work details; we can include Schedule section. About the role: we can have a paragraph summarizing role. Responsibilities: we can list duties from examples (summer and winter tasks). Could be a combined list. Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications? But we also have Qualifications section. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide what goes where. We have Minimum Qualifications (TG and TA) and Preferred Qualifications. Could put Requirements as minimum qualifications, Qualifications as preferred? Or combine? Usually Requirements = minimum qualifications, Qualifications = preferred or additional qualifications. Skills could be physical requirements? Or maybe skills from tasks? But we have physical requirements separate; maybe we can put under Skills? Or we could omit Skills if not specific. Better to follow typical structure: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (physical requirements or specific skills like CDL, English, etc.), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each has real content. Let's extract content. About the role: The paragraph starting "The work you'll do is more than just a job..." plus description of role, multi-level posting, series, training, CDL, importance, etc. We'll condense but preserve all substantive info; we cannot invent or summarize away detail. Must preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. That means we cannot omit details? We must keep all substantive information. However we can rephrase? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep all details, not summarizing away. But we can still format as HTML; we can keep sentences as is. We cannot remove any substantive info. So we need to include all the details from the posting (except boilerplate). That is a lot. We'll need to include everything: description, examples of work, hours, qualifications, preferred, physical requirements, additional requirements, benefits, pay, schedule. We must not include application instructions, contact? The contact maybe not boilerplate but could be considered part of application instructions? It's contact for questions; maybe we keep as a short p under About the role? But it's not explicitly prohibited. However they said remove application instructions. Contact info is not exactly application instructions but could be considered part of applying. Safer to drop contact? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Contact info is not application instructions; it's just contact for questions. Might be okay to keep. But we could also drop as minor metadata. I'd keep it as a short p under About the role maybe. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have h3 with the title. We need to output only HTML fragment, no html/body tags. Let's structure:

    About the role

    ... (all descriptive paragraphs except those that belong to other sections). We'll need to split out responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay, schedule. Thus About the role should contain introductory overview but not the detailed duty lists etc. However we must preserve all substantive info; we can still include them in About the role but then we would duplicate if also in Responsibilities. Better to split. We need to decide what goes where without losing info. Let's list all substantive info blocks: 1. Introductory paragraph: "The work you'll do is more than just a job.
