Addiction Counselor

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; fold minor metadata into short

or drop it. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove "PLEASE ATTACH THE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS LISTED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE" maybe? That's instruction to user, not part of posting. We'll ignore. We need to extract substantive content: Agency, location, salary, pay grade, closing date, description, responsibilities, qualifications, skills, abilities, conditions of employment, benefits, etc. We must not create sections like Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. Pay: salary range given. Schedule: full-time mentioned. Benefits: described. So we can include Pay, Schedule, Benefits sections. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. We have actual salary range. We must not duplicate lines. We need to structure: maybe sections: About the role (description), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine qualifications and skills?), Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see content: - About the role: description of position: provides substance use disorder services, etc. Also "Why the Department of Corrections?" maybe part of about. - Responsibilities: list under "What You Will Do Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:" then bullet list. - Requirements: maybe "Preferred Qualifications" and "Conditions Of Employment" and "Additional Requirements". Could be separate sections: Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Requirements (conditions of employment, additional requirements). But we need to avoid duplication. - Skills: list under "Skill To effectively communicate..." and "Ability To ..." maybe combine as Skills and Abilities. - Benefits: described at end: $0 premium employee health insurance, eleven paid holidays, generous vacation and sick leave accrual, dental, vision, other insurance options, retirement benefits, Class A retirement under SDRS. - Pay: salary $24.00 to $32.00 per hour, depending on experience; Pay Grade: H. - Schedule: Full-Time position. We also have hiring incentive $5,000 (but note current/previous state employees not qualify). That's substantive; could be part of Benefits or Pay? Might be a separate section? Could include under Benefits or maybe under Pay? It's a hiring incentive. Could be part of Benefits. We'll include in Benefits. Also mention "Additional Requirements: To be considered, please attach your resume and three professional references." That's application instruction; we should remove application instructions per rule. So drop that line. Also "Veterans’ Preference per ARSD 55:10:02:08." That's maybe a condition; could be part of Requirements. Also "Successful applicant(s) will be required to undergo a background investigation." etc. That's conditions of employment. Also "NCRC: If you possess a National Career Readiness Certificate, please submit the certificate with your application." That's application instruction; drop. Also "For more information on how to acquire a National Career Readiness Certificate contact a South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulation Job Service Office." drop. Also "A certificate is not necessary to be considered." drop. Also "The State of South Dakota does not sponsor work visas for new or existing employees." maybe condition; could be part of Requirements. Also "All persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and complete an Employment Eligibility Verification, Form I-9." condition. Also "The State of South Dakota as an employer will be using E-Verify to complete employment eligibility verification upon hire." condition. Also "You must apply online: ..." application instruction; drop. Also "You must apply online, emailed resumes or submissions will not be accepted." drop. Also contact info for BHR: telephone, email, website. That's maybe minor metadata; could be folded into short

or drop. Probably drop as it's contact info. Also "An Equal Opportunity Employer" boilerplate; drop. Now we need to preserve all substantive information.

However there is also "This position is eligible for Veterans’ Preference per ARSD 55:10:02:08." That's a condition. - "Successful applicant(s) will be required to undergo a background investigation." Already covered. - "An arrest/conviction record will not necessarily bar employment." - "Successful applicant(s) will undergo an abuse and neglect screening." - "Offers of employment are conditional upon successful completion of a drug screening." - "NCRC: ..." drop. - "For more information on how to acquire a National Career Readiness Certificate contact a South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulation Job Service Office." drop. - "A certificate is not necessary to be considered." drop. - "The State of South Dakota does not sponsor work visas for new or existing employees." - "All persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and complete an Employment Eligibility Verification, Form I-9." - "The State of South Dakota as an employer will be using E-Verify to complete employment eligibility verification upon hire." - Benefits: $0 premium employee health insurance option plus eleven paid holidays, generous vacation and sick leave accrual, dental, vision, and other insurance options, and retirement benefits. Also mention "You can view our benefits information here." (link, but we can drop link as it's maybe navigation? Might be considered boilerplate? It's a link to benefits info; could be considered part of benefits but it's a reference; we could keep the description but drop the link. The rule says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. A link to benefits info might be considered navigation; but it's part of benefits description. Safer to drop the link but keep the description. - "This position is a member of Class A retirement under SDRS." - Also hiring incentive $5,000 (mentioned earlier) could be part of Benefits. Now we need to output HTML fragment with sections using

headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to decide which sections to include. We must not create sections with filler. Let's plan: -

  About the role

  : prose summarizing agency, location, position type, purpose, hiring incentive, why DOC, desired candidate traits maybe? Could be long but okay. -

  Responsibilities

  : list of duties. -

  Knowledge and Skills

  : maybe combine knowledge, skills, abilities. But we have separate headings Knowledge, Skills, Abilities? The instruction list includes Skills as a possible heading. Could also have Qualifications. But we need to avoid many thin sections. Perhaps combine Knowledge, Skills, Abilities into one section titled "Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities". That's substantive. -

  Qualifications

  : preferred qualifications (degree, certification). -

  Requirements

  : conditions of employment (drug-free workplace, background check, drug screen, OC spray, self-defense, CPR, TB screening, veterans preference, arrest record not bar, abuse/neglect screening, drug screening
