Youth Counselor I - 7:30AM-4:00PM
Aspiranet · Turlock, CA · 1 mo ago
Education$21.5–$23/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Schedule sections only if posting actually states them. The posting includes Pay Range: $21.50 - $23.00/hr and also mentions shift options: Mon-Fri 7:30 AM -4:00 PM. So we have Pay and Schedule content.
We also have About the Hope Forward Campus (maybe "About the role"? Actually "About the Hope Forward Campus" is descriptive about the campus, not exactly "About the role". But we can treat as "About the role" maybe. The instruction: use
for each section we include.
Potential sections:
- About the role (includes campus description, Why Aspiranet, Position Summary, Location)
- Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities)
- Requirements (Additional Requirements)
- Qualifications (criteria)
- Benefits (Rewards)
- Pay
- Schedule
We might also include Skills? Not explicitly listed; proficiency in Word/Outlook could be under Skills. But we already put under Requirements. Could also create Skills heading for that. But we have limited headings; we can decide to put proficiency under Skills. Let's see: we have Requirements (ability to work evenings etc.) and Skills (proficiency in Word/Outlook). Could split.
But we have also "Meet all state conditions..." which is a requirement. So Requirements heading can include ability to work evenings, weekends, holidays; meet state conditions; valid driver's license. Skills heading can include proficiency in Microsoft Word and Outlook.
Thus we have:
- About the role
- Responsibilities
- Requirements
- Skills
- Qualifications
- Benefits
- Pay
- Schedule
Check if any section empty: all have content.
Now craft HTML.
We need to use
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Schedule sections only if posting actually states them. The posting includes Pay Range: $21.50 - $23.00/hr and also mentions shift options: Mon-Fri 7:30 AM -4:00 PM. So we have Pay and Schedule content.
We also have About the Hope Forward Campus (maybe "About the role"? Actually "About the Hope Forward Campus" is descriptive about the campus, not exactly "About the role". But we can treat as "About the role" maybe. The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to these headings as appropriate.
We have:
- About the Hope Forward Campus: description of campus, mission, etc. Could go under "About the role" or maybe we create a section "About the role". We'll put that content there.
- Why Aspiranet? Could be part of About the role or maybe separate but not in list; we could incorporate into About the role.
- Position Summary: also about role.
- Key Responsibilities: list.
- Qualifications: list of criteria.
- Additional Requirements: maybe part of Requirements or Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. We have Qualifications (criteria). Additional Requirements (ability to work evenings, weekends, holidays; proficiency in Word/Outlook; meet state conditions). Could go under Requirements or Skills. We'll treat "Requirements" heading for those additional requirements (like ability to work evenings etc.) and maybe also include "Skills" for proficiency in Microsoft Word and Outlook? But we can also put those under Requirements.
We have Benefits: list of rewards.
We have Pay: pay range.
We have Schedule: shift options.
We must not duplicate lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, application instructions, "Ready to Apply?" etc. Also remove "Physical Demands" maybe? It's substantive? It's about ADA etc. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not navigation/legal/EEO but it's about physical demands. Might be considered substantive? It's describing work environment. Could keep but maybe not needed. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Physical Demands is not EEO, but it's somewhat generic. Might keep? It's not duplicated. However it's somewhat generic but still info. I'd keep it under maybe a separate section? Not in allowed headings. Could incorporate into Responsibilities or Requirements? Probably better to omit as it's not essential. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information. Is physical demands substantive? It describes typical office environment, noise level. Might be considered substantive but not critical. However instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep it. But we don't have a heading for it. Could we put it under "Responsibilities"? Not really. Could we create a custom heading? The instruction says 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. Likely they expect only those headings. So we need to fit physical demands into one of those sections, maybe under Responsibilities or Requirements. Could add a bullet under Responsibilities about maintaining safe environment etc. But physical demands is about work environment; maybe we can add a bullet under Responsibilities: "Maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming environment...". Already there is a bullet about maintaining clean safe environment. Physical demands about office environment and noise level could be added as a note under Responsibilities or Requirements. But to preserve all info, we could add a paragraph under Responsibilities about physical demands. However that might be mixing.
Alternatively we could create a section "Physical Demands" but not in allowed list; risk of being considered not following instruction. Safer to embed within existing sections.
