for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive information. Include a section only when posting has real, specific content. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Schedule sections only if posting actually states them. The posting includes Compensation: hourly base pay range $13-$16 per hour plus tips. That's pay info. Work Schedule: 7am-3pm and 3pm-11pm shifts. Benefits: listed. So we have Pay, Schedule, Benefits sections.
We also have About Towne description (company overview). That could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is a section heading we can use for summary of role. The posting includes "Summary The Guest Service Associate is responsible for providing exceptional hospitality services..." That's a summary. Also there is "Essential Functions" with descriptive statements and percentages. That's responsibilities/duties. So we can put Responsibilities section with list of duties (maybe using the descriptive statements). Also we have Qualifications (Education, Licensure, Work Experience). Also Knowledge, Skills, Scope Authority, Working Conditions etc. The instructions: Use headings for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). They didn't list "Knowledge" or "Working Conditions". We could incorporate those under Qualifications or Skills or Requirements. But we must not create sections without real content. We can put Knowledge under Skills or Requirements. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details from Qualifications, Knowledge, Skills, Scope Authority, Working Conditions, etc. We can put them under Qualifications (education, licensure, experience) and Skills (knowledge, abilities). Or we could have Requirements section for licensure, experience, etc. But we have to follow the allowed headings list. We can use Requirements for things like licensure, experience, etc. Qualifications for education? Actually Qualifications and Requirements often overlap. But we can decide: Qualifications: Education, Licensure, Certification, Work Experience. Skills: Knowledge, Skills (abilities). Requirements maybe not needed if we cover in Qualifications and Skills. But we need to include all content. Let's map:
- About the role: company overview and summary of role (maybe combine Towne description and summary). Could be two paragraphs: one about Towne, one about role summary.
- Responsibilities: Essential Functions descriptive statements with percentages. Could be list items each with percentage.
- Qualifications: Education (HS diploma/GED), Licensure (valid driver's license), Work Experience (1 month related experience or equivalent). Also maybe "Knowledge" and "Skills" could go under Skills section.
- Skills: Knowledge of principles and processes for providing customer and personal services; Ability to read/write standard English; ability to read/comprehend simple instructions; ability to write simple correspondence; ability to effectively present information; ability to add/subtract three digit numbers and multiply/divide with 10s and 100s; ability to understand 24 hour and military time; ability to understand rates applicable to time passed; ability to operate a manual transmission highly desirable; perform parallel parking.
- Benefits: list of insurances, 401k, eligibility notes.
- Pay: hourly base pay range $13-$16 per hour plus tips.
- Schedule: 7am-3pm and 3pm-11pm shifts.
We should not include sections like Requirements if we don't have distinct content; but we could still include Requirements if we want to put licensure and experience there. However we already put those under Qualifications. Might be okay to omit Requirements section. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we can omit Requirements if we feel its content is covered elsewhere. But we need to ensure we don't lose any substantive info. If we put licensure and experience under Qualifications, that's fine.
We must not include boilerplate like "Reasonable accommodations may be made..." but that's part of Essential Functions and Working Conditions; we need to preserve substantive info. The phrase "Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform all functions." appears in Essential Functions and also in Working Conditions. It's substantive? It's a statement about accommodations. We should keep it. It's not boilerplate? It's a standard EEO statement but appears in job description; we should keep as it's part of the posting. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. That line might be considered EEO boilerplate. However it's embedded in the Essential Functions and Working Conditions. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we should remove those lines. Also "Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions." appears twice. We'll remove them.
Also "Click here for important notices that may be applicable to you." and privacy policy links are boilerplate; remove.
Also "For more information, visit www.towne.com and follow us on LinkedIn." That's company info but not boilerplate; it's substantive about company. Keep.
Now we need to format.
