We are open Monday-Friday, serving the Parker, Aurora, and Douglas areas." So schedule: Monday-Friday (full-time). Could include that. We must not include sections with placeholder or vague like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include duplicated lines. We must not include application instructions like "Click here to learn more." "apply today, or reach out to us at suzanne.hinton@thrivepet.com." Also "Learn more at thrivepetcare.com." Also EEO statements etc. Remove those. Also remove "About Thrive" paragraphs? Might be considered boilerplate but contains info about Thrive's network, values, awards. Might be considered substantive? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About Thrive" is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered company description. Might be okay to keep? However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. The "About Thrive" section includes info about network size, mission, values, awards. That seems substantive about the employer. Should we keep? Possibly yes, but we have no specific section for "About the company". Could put under "About Pine Grove Animal Hospital" already. The "About Thrive" could be considered extra but maybe not needed. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine some info into existing sections. We need to decide what to include. Likely they'd want sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly Skills separate but could be merged with Requirements. We'll produce:About the role
