Voice Picker - 1st Shift
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to parse content:
Company description: Simon & Schuster was named to Forbes... etc. That's about the company, could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is more about the job. But we have description of company and role. Could put "About the role" heading with description of role: It's a 1st Shift Voice Picker within distribution center. Then responsibilities: list of duties.
Responsibilities: bullet list of duties: Pick orders using voice picking equipment; Follow simple voice commands to fill book orders; Meet or exceed LM SOP quota; Scan labels using finger scanner; Willing to work in other areas of operation from time to time; Take direction from different leads when working in other areas; Perform replenishments as needed; Other duties as assigned.
Requirements: bullet list: High School Diploma preferred; Ability to understand and read shipping labels; Ability to understand and follow simple commands; Able to meet daily LM quota for picking; Attention to detail; Good listening and math skills; Must be able to lift a minimum of 40 pounds; Must have careful attention to detail and strong communication skills; Must have ability to stand for up to 8 hours/day; Able to follow all safety policies and procedures; Overtime as needed (both voluntary and mandatory). Also maybe "Some Requirements" heading.
Qualifications: maybe same as requirements? Could combine. But we need separate sections only if content. Could put "Qualifications" with same list? Might duplicate. Better to have "Requirements" and "Skills". Skills: Good listening and math skills, attention to detail, communication skills, ability to follow commands, etc. Could separate.
Benefits: The posting lists benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401(k) plan, life insurance coverage, disability benefits, tuition assistance program and PTO, Broad Based Ownership program. Also mention "The benefits available for this position include ...". So we have benefits content.
Pay: The posting says: "The hiring salary range for this position applies to New York City, California, Colorado, Washington state, and most other geographies. Starting pay for the successful applicant depends on a variety of job-related factors, including but not limited to geographic location, market demands, experience, training, and education." That's not a specific number, but it's still content about pay. It says "depends on a variety..." Not a specific figure, but it's still substantive? The rule: do NOT emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") . The text says "Starting pay ... depends on a variety..." That's similar to "commensurate with experience" but it's not exactly placeholder; it's describing that pay varies. Might be considered filler? The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). Since they mention depends on factors, that is essentially "varies". I'd consider that filler and thus should not create a Pay section. So we omit Pay.
Schedule: The posting includes "Shift And Schedule Monday- Friday - 5:00AM - 1:00PM". That's specific schedule. So we can create Schedule section with that.
Now we need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So we will not have heading "1st Shift Voice Picker". We'll have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Schedule. Possibly also Qualifications but we can merge.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can rephrase? Must preserve all substantive information; we can keep same sentences but maybe reformat. We cannot omit details like "Willing to work in other areas of operation from time to time." etc.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, application instructions, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, etc. So we cut out the EEO paragraph, the "If you need a reasonable accommodation..." etc. Also remove "Unrelated emails..." etc. Also remove "Candidates hired..." etc.
We need to keep the company description? It's substantive about the employer. Could be part of "About the role" or maybe a separate "About the company". But only allowed headings are the list; we could put company description under "About the role" as it's about the role's context. Or we could not have a heading for company description and just include it as a paragraph before sections? The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. Probably we should stick to those headings. We can include a paragraph before first heading that describes the company. That's allowed as prose (
). So we can have a
with company description, then
About the role
with description of role (maybe short). Then responsibilities list, etc. We must not repeat the job title as a heading. So we won't have heading "1st Shift Voice Picker". We'll include it maybe in the About the role paragraph. Now let's craft HTML. Start with acontaining company description: "Simon & Schuster was named to Forbes magazine list of America's Best Mid-Size Employers 2022. Simon & Schuster is a global leader in general interest publishing, dedicated to providing the best in fiction and nonfiction for readers of all ages, and in all printed, digital and audio formats. Its distinguished roster of authors includes many of the world's most popular and widely recognized writers, and winners of the most prestigious literary honors and awards. It is home to numerous well-known imprints and divisions such as Simon & Schuster, Scribner, Atria Books, Gallery Books, Pocket Books, Adams Media, Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing and Simon & Schuster Audio and international companies in Australia, Canada, India and the United Kingdom, and proudly brings the works of its authors to readers in more than 200 countries and territories. For more information visit our website at www.simonandschuster.com." Then maybe a
about the role: "Simon & Schuster is currently seeking a 1st Shift Voice Picker. This is a role within the distribution center of Simon & Schuster, a 100-year-old book publishing company with offices around the world." Then
About the role
maybe we could skip because we already described role. But we need to follow instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). It doesn't say we must have About the role heading, but we can include it if we have content. We already have a paragraph describing role; we could put that under About the role heading. So we could move that paragraph under About the role heading. Then we don't need a separate preceding paragraph. Let's do: About the role
then
Simon & Schuster is currently seeking a 1st Shift Voice Picker. This is a role within the distribution center of Simon & Schuster, a 100-year-old book publishing company with offices around the world.
Then we need company description maybe as a separate paragraph before that? Could be part of About the role? But it's about company, not role. Could add a precedingfor company overview. That's fine. Thus:
Simon & Schuster was named to Forbes magazine list of America's Best Mid-Size Employers 2022. Simon & Schuster is a global leader in general interest publishing, dedicated to providing the best in fiction and nonfiction for readers of all ages, and in all printed, digital and audio formats.

We should not include Pay section. Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate: removed EEO, accommodation request, unrelated emails, candidate hired statement, etc. Check for any leftover boilerplate: The paragraph about "The hiring salary range for this position applies to New York City, California, Colorado, Washington state, and most other geographies. Starting pay for the successful applicant depends on a variety of job-related factors, including but not limited to geographic location, market demands, experience, training, and education." We omitted because it's pay filler.
