On-siteFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like welcome, apply button, EEO, etc. Keep substantive info: description of role, minimum qualifications (education/certification/licensure), experience, preferred qualifications, core job duties and responsibilities, physical requirements, working environment, skills and abilities, scheduled weekly hours, shift, exempt/non-exempt, company, cost center, address maybe? The address is part of location; we can include as maybe a paragraph. Pay and schedule: schedule is given (Scheduled Weekly Hours: 40 Shift Day). So we can include a Schedule section with that info. Pay not mentioned, so omit Pay section. Benefits not mentioned, omit Benefits. Use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each bullet as list items where appropriate.
Let's parse sections:
- Intro description: "Provides intraoperative care to patients by functioning as the scrub person assisting the surgical team during an operative procedure." That's prose.
- Minimum Qualifications: includes EDUCATION, CERTIFICATION, AND/OR LICENSURE: list of certifications. Also "Obtain Basic Life Support (BLS) Certification within 30 days of hire." Experience: "Two (2) years of progressive clinical scrub experience in a CST role."
We could combine Minimum Qualifications as a section with subpoints? The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have headings like "Qualifications" for minimum qualifications, maybe "Preferred Qualifications". Could also have "Requirements". But we need to follow typical headings: Qualifications, Responsibilities, Skills, etc. We'll decide.
We have:
- About the role? Could be the introductory description. Could use "About the role" heading.
- Responsibilities: core job duties and responsibilities.
- Qualifications: minimum qualifications.
- Preferred Qualifications: separate heading maybe "Preferred Qualifications" (though not in list but we can use as heading if content). The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It didn't list Preferred Qualifications but we can still use a heading if we have content; but better to stick to given list? It says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, not exclusive. So we can add other headings if needed. But we should avoid thin sections. Preferred Qualifications has content: recommendation from three surgeons. That's a specific item. Could be included under Qualifications as a sublist? Might be better to have a separate "Preferred Qualifications" section.
- Skills And Abilities: that's a Skills section.
- Physical Requirements: could be under Requirements? Or we could have a "Requirements" section covering physical requirements. But we also have experience under qualifications. Might be better to have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (minimum), Preferred Qualifications, Skills, Requirements (physical), Working Environment, Schedule.
But we need to avoid filler. All sections have real content.
Let's extract each piece.
