- About ARMStaffing: description of company (maybe not needed? It's substantive but could be considered "About the company" but not requested sections. The sections we can use: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The "About ARMStaffing" is about the company, not the role. Could be omitted or placed under "About the role"? Probably not. The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should only use those headings if we have content. We have content for About the role (job description overview), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (experience/certifications), Qualifications maybe overlapping with Requirements? Could combine. Skills maybe not explicitly listed; we could infer from responsibilities but better not to invent. Benefits we have content. Pay we have some info: Pay package based on 12 hour shifts and 36.0 hours per week with tax-free stipend amount to be determined. That's somewhat vague but it's actual statement; we can include Pay section with that sentence. Schedule we have: Shift: 12 hours, nights; 36 hours per week; Night Shift - 12 x 3. So we can include Schedule section.
We must not include sections with filler/placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Pay section: we have actual statement, though stipend amount to be determined is somewhat vague but it's still specific: "Pay package is based on 12 hour shifts and 36.0 hours per week (subject to confirmation) with tax-free stipend amount to be determined." That's acceptable.
Schedule: we have specifics.
Benefits: we have list.
Requirements: we have list.
Qualifications: maybe we can treat as same as Requirements? But we could separate: Qualifications could include education (graduate of Co ARC approved program) and licensure (RRT). Requirements could be experience (2 years) and certifications (BLS, NRP maybe). However risk of duplication. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But we have headings list; we can choose to include only those with real content. Let's decide:
- About the role: short paragraph summarizing job.
- Responsibilities: ul list.
- Requirements: ul list (experience, certifications, licensure).
- Benefits: ul list.
- Pay: p with statement.
- Schedule: p with statement.
We could omit Qualifications and Skills sections as they'd be thin or duplicate.
We must not include Job ID etc. Could fold minor metadata into a short p or drop it. The Job ID line: "ARMStaffing Job ID #38180301." We can drop it or include in a short p maybe under About the role? Better to drop as per instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can drop it.
Also "Pay package is based on 12 hour shifts and 36.0 hours per week (subject to confirmation) with tax-free stipend amount to be determined." That's Pay.
Also "Posted job title: Respiratory Therapist:Respiratory Therapist,19:00:00-07:00:00" seems like garbage; drop.
Also "About ARMStaffing" description: could be considered boilerplate? It's about the company, not the role. Might be considered not needed. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not exactly boilerplate but it's about the company. Could be considered not needed for the job posting; but it's substantive info about the employer. However the sections we have do not include "About the company". Could we put it under About the role? Probably not appropriate. Safer to omit it, as it's not requested section and could be considered extra. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Including a big About ARMStaffing paragraph would be a section but we don't have a heading for it. Could we add a
About the company? Not in allowed list. So we should omit.
