Ultrasonographer 0.8 FTE - Carol Milgard Breast Center
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate (mission/vision maybe considered not boilerplate? It's part of description but maybe we keep as prose under About the role? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. So we can have sections: About the role (maybe mission/vision + job summary), Responsibilities (essential job functions), Qualifications (education/work experience + job knowledge/skills), Benefits (pay and benefits + sign-on bonus?), Pay (maybe separate), Schedule (shift schedule). However we must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay range, benefits list, schedule details, sign-on bonus. So we can have sections: About the role (mission/vision + job summary), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits, Schedule. Or combine Pay and Benefits? The instruction says use headings for those categories if content exists. We have both Pay and Benefits content, so separate headings.
We must not repeat job title. Use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from mission, vision, location, pay, benefits, schedule, sign-on bonus, job summary, essential job functions (list), qualifications (education/work experience, job knowledge/skills, physical requirements, mental requirements, working/environmental conditions). Also note ARDMS registry etc.
We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. There's no explicit EEO etc. There's duplicated mission sentence repeated twice; we should keep only once? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplicated lines: we should remove duplicate lines. So we should include mission statement once.
Also there is a line: "Learn more about us at the Carol Milgard Breast Center by touring our website - https://www.carolmilgardbreastcenter.org/" That's maybe not substantive? It's a link; could be considered boilerplate? It's not navigation but it's a reference. Might keep as prose? Probably we can keep as part of About the role.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
