We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like 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 (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc). Must not include duplicated lines. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. Benefits are present: list of benefits. Pay not mentioned. Schedule not mentioned. So we include Benefits section.
We need sections: maybe "About the role" (description), "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits". We need to decide what content goes where.
We have a lot of text: introduction about Broward County, benefits list, description of Aviation Department, job description, minimum education and experience requirements, preferences, special certifications, additional information, scope of work duties and responsibilities, competencies, work environment, physical demands, etc.
We need to extract substantive info and place into appropriate sections.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. Must preserve all substantive info. So we need to include all details but organized.
We can have sections:
- About the role: maybe a paragraph summarizing the role (the description of Aviation Department, advanced professional accounting work, etc.)
- Responsibilities: list of duties (prepare monthly sales tax reconciliation, dispute chargebacks, prepare monthly revenue accruals, journal entry preparation, various account reconciliations, prepare support for overdue validations, prepare support for customer refunds, ability to prioritize tasks, conduct research, support team, external audit support, work unsupervised, performs related work as assigned.)
- Requirements: Minimum Education And Experience Requirements: Bachelor's degree in accounting or finance; or Bachelor's degree and coursework that qualifies for CPA Examination.
- Preferences: Doctorate degree, Masters degree, CPA, CMA, CGFO, AAE or ACE, 1+ year PeopleSoft, 3+ year financial accounting and reporting experience, 1+ years billing and or collections experience, 1+ years Advance Excel skills (vlookup, pivot, macros), 2+ Years Experience in Bank Reconciliations.
- Skills: maybe list competencies (Business Insight, Tech Savvy, Directs Work, Optimizes Work Processes, Builds Effective Teams, Manages Ambiguity) and also Advance Excel skills etc. But we already have Excel in preferences. Could combine.
- Benefits: list of benefits: Eleven (11) paid holidays each year; Vacation (Paid Time Off) = 2 weeks per year; Tuition Reimbursement (Up to 2K annually); Up to 40 hours of Job Basis Leave for eligible positions; Paid Parental Leave; Health Benefits (High-Deductible Health Plan – bi-weekly premiums: Employee $10.90 / Family $80.79 Includes a County Funded Health Savings Account of up to $2000 Annually; Consumer Driven Health Plan – bi-weekly premiums: Employee $82.58 / Family $286.79); Florida Retirement System (FRS) – Pension or Investment Plan; 457 Deferred Compensation County matches up to $2,000 a year.
We also have additional information: background check, ability to maintain authorization to drive a County vehicle, Drug-Free Workplace Policy, ability to interact courteously, ability to obtain/maintain SIDA access, ability to obtain/maintain Airfield driving privileges, must possess a valid Florida driver's license during employment and maintain authority to drive on County business.
These could be placed under "Requirements" or "Additional Requirements". Perhaps under "Requirements" as additional requirements (like background check, driver's license, etc.) Or we could have a separate section "Additional Requirements". But we only have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Qualifications could be used for preferences and certifications. But we already have Requirements for minimum education/experience. Qualifications could be for preferred qualifications (certifications, degrees, etc.). Skills could be for competencies and technical skills.
We need to avoid duplication. Let's map:
- About the role: description of Aviation Department, role purpose, advanced professional accounting work, etc.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Requirements: Minimum Education And Experience Requirements (Bachelor's degree etc.) plus maybe mandatory items like background check, driver's license, ability to obtain SIDA, airfield driving privileges, drug-free workplace, etc. Those are requirements.
- Qualifications: Preferred qualifications (Doctorate, Masters, CPA, CMA, CGFO, AAE/ACE, PeopleSoft experience, years experience, Excel skills, bank reconciliations). Also maybe "Special Certifications and Licenses: None." but we can note none.
- Skills: Competencies list (Business Insight, Tech Savvy, Directs Work, Optimizes Work Processes, Builds Effective Teams, Manages Ambiguity). Also maybe "Ability to prioritize all assigned tasks and ad-hoc duties, and meet given deadlines." but that's more responsibility.
- Benefits: as above.
We must not include sections with filler. All sections have content.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat same bullet.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's craft.
