Adult Protective Services Specialist I/II
or drop it. Remove boilerplate: EEO, Fair Chance Employer, contact email, announcement number, powered by JazzHR, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information: location (McAlester Oklahoma), role description, salary levels, benefits, travel extensive, driver's license, car insurance, duties, minimum qualifications for Level I and II, description of duties for each level. We need to decide sections: Could have About the role (overview), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (maybe driver's license, travel, etc.), Qualifications (education/experience), Benefits (Full State Employee Benefits), Pay (salary levels), Schedule? Not given schedule specifics; maybe not include Schedule if no specific content. The posting mentions travel extensive but not schedule. So we skip Schedule. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have specific salary numbers, so Pay section is okay. Benefits: "Full State Employee Benefits" is specific enough? It's a phrase; we can include Benefits section with that line. We need to use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "Adult Protective Services Specialist". We'll not use that as heading.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract:

Also note: "This is a position in the Oklahoma Civil Service." Could be minor metadata; we could fold into a short

We need to remove boilerplate: Fair Chance Employer, contact email, announcement number, JazzHR.
Now structure:
We could have sections:
- About the role (location, purpose, civil service note)
- Responsibilities (general duties)
- Requirements (travel, driver's license, car insurance)
- Qualifications (education/experience for Level I and II)
- Benefits (Full State Employee Benefits)
- Pay (salary levels)
We should not create Schedule.
We need to use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for each section that has a list, we use ul.
For About the role maybe just prose
.
For Responsibilities: list of duties (general). Could be bullet list.
For Requirements: list (travel extensive, driver's license, car insurance). Could be bullet.
For Qualifications: maybe two sublists for Level I and Level II? Could be bullet list with sub-items? But we need to use ul li for any list. Could have nested lists? Probably okay but simpler: separate sections for Level I Qualifications and Level II Qualifications? But we only have Qualifications heading; we could have bullet list with two items: each item containing the details. Or we could have two headings under Qualifications? Not allowed because only headings we can use are the predefined ones. So we keep Qualifications section and inside we can have paragraphs describing each level.
But we need to use ul for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Qualifications is not a list per se but we could treat education/experience as list items. Might be okay to use p.
Better: Use
for prose, and only use ul for explicit lists. The posting has lists of duties (Level I and Level II). Those are lists. So we can put them under Responsibilities or maybe separate sections? But we have only one Responsibilities heading. Could combine general duties and level-specific duties under Responsibilities as lists.
But we need to preserve all detail; we can have separate subheadings? Not allowed. So we can embed details in paragraphs.
Alternatively, we could create separate sections for Level I and Level II under Qualifications? But the instruction says use headings only from the list; we cannot create custom headings like "Level I Qualifications". So we must stick to those headings.
Thus we need to fit all info under those headings.
