- Pay package: based on 12 hour shifts and 48.0 hours per week (subject to confirmation) with tax-free stipend amount to be determined.
- Posted job title: Travel Respiratory Therapist - Registered RT/RRT
- About American Traveler: description of company, benefits: premium medical, dental, vision and life insurance beginning day one; generous 401(k) match; substantial housing stipends; 24/7 support; access to in-house clinicians.
We need to decide which sections to include.
We have substantive content for:
- About the role (description of role, setting, shift, etc.)
- Responsibilities (list of duties: adult critical care, ED, floating, on-call, etc.)
- Requirements (experience, certifications, license, specific skills)
- Qualifications (maybe overlapping with requirements; but we can combine? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include those that have content.
We have details about Benefits: American Traveler offers exceptional benefits, including premium medical, dental, vision and life insurance beginning day one, generous 401(k) match, substantial housing stipends, and more. Also 24/7 support and access to in-house clinicians. So we have benefits content.
Pay: The posting says "Pay package is based on 12 hour shifts and 48.0 hours per week (subject to confirmation) with tax-free stipend amount to be determined." That's vague; it says tax-free stipend amount to be determined. This is not a specific pay figure; it's placeholder. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. The posting does mention pay package but not actual amount; it's subject to confirmation and stipend TBD. Is that considered substantive? It says "Pay package is based on 12 hour shifts and 48.0 hours per week (subject to confirmation) with tax-free stipend amount to be determined." That's not a specific number; it's basically saying pay TBD. The rule says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). So we should NOT create a Pay section because it's placeholder/TBD. So we omit Pay.
Schedule: The posting gives shift details: Nights, 4x12hrs, 48 hrs/wk, every other weekend required, on-call as needed, etc. That's schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section with details.
We also have "About American Traveler" which is more about the company; could be placed under "About the role" or maybe a separate "About the company". But the instruction only lists those headings; we could put company info under "About the role" or maybe not needed. But we have substantive content about the role itself (description, setting, shift, etc.) which we can put under About the role.
Responsibilities: list of duties: adult critical care and ED patient populations; night shift; every other weekend; on-call; floating; Cerner EMR; etc.
Requirements: minimum 1 year experience; BLS and RRT certification; IL license if applicable; adult critical care and ED experience; specific skills list; Cerner charting; teaching hospital etc preferred.
Skills: could be extracted from requirements (specific skills). But we might combine Requirements and Skills; but we can have both if they have distinct content. However we should prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Requirements and Skills into one Requirements section, or we could have Requirements and then Skills as a subsection? But the instruction says use headings for those categories; we can include both if they have content. But to avoid thin sections, we could merge skills into Requirements.
Benefits: we have substantive content: premium medical, dental, vision, life insurance day one; generous 401(k) match; substantial housing stipends; 24/7 support; access to in-house clinicians. So we can include Benefits.
Schedule: we have shift details.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Schedule.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Use
for each.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them as lists or paragraphs.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes some boilerplate like "American Traveler Job ID #P-759213." We should drop Job ID or fold into short
or drop it. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include a short
with Job ID maybe, but better to drop it as minor metadata. We'll drop it.
Also "Posted job title: Travel Respiratory Therapist - Registered RT/RRT" is basically repeating job title; we can drop.
Also "About American Traveler" paragraph is not boilerplate; it's substantive about benefits and company; we can incorporate into Benefits section maybe.
We need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines.
