Assessment & Taxation Specialist 2
for sections like 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 include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to extract relevant content: About the role (maybe description), Responsibilities (typical tasks), Requirements/Qualifications (minimum qualifications, required experience), Skills (key competencies, preferred qualifications), Benefits (benefits info), Pay (compensation annual/hourly range), Schedule (work schedule). Also maybe "About the department" could be part of About the role? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can combine Requirements and Qualifications maybe but they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- About the role: The description of position: "The Clackamas County Assessor's Office is seeking a detail-oriented and positive individual to work in the Assessment and Taxation Department. This is a fast-paced, public service environment that demands accuracy, good computer skills and communication skills.

This includes compiling and maintaining assessment and taxation records using sophisticated software applications; the ability to lead assigned staff within their specific program; work with other sections within the department such as cartography, records and tax; and provide information on processes and procedures to other internal staff regarding real and personal property."
That's good.
- Responsibilities: The "Typical Tasks" list: Provides technical information..., Performs a variety of record keeping..., Provides technical information..., During predicted cyclical work..., Performs variety of complex tasks... We can list as - items.
- Requirements/Qualifications: Minimum qualifications: "Required Minimum Qualifications/Transferrable Skills:* A minimum of two (2) years of relevant experience in specialized, increasingly responsible technical duties in property, assessment and/or appraisal or closely related field, to include the application of laws, policies and procedures Education may not substitute for the required relevant experience.

Also "Preferred Special Qualifications/Transferrable Skills:* Intermediate level proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel. Intermediate level proficiency in Microsoft Access. Experience prioritizing assignments and assigning work to staff. Experience working with property record keeping."
Also "Pre-Employment Requirements Driving is required for County business on a regular basis or to accomplish work. Incumbents must possess a valid driver's license, and possess and maintain an acceptable driving record throughout the course of employment."
We could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section maybe "Requirements". But they gave separate headings possible. However they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one
Requirements
(or Qualifications). Let's decide: Use "Requirements" heading for mandatory qualifications, and maybe "Preferred Qualifications" as part of Skills? But they have Skills heading separate. Could treat Skills as key competencies and preferred qualifications. Let's think.
We have:
- Skills: "KEY COMPETENCIES Working knowledge of: Assessment and taxation laws, rules, and regulations governing real and personal property; public and customer service techniques; office operations, procedures and equipment; business math; cash handling procedures; documents and records relating to property ownership; lead work techniques; English spelling, punctuation, grammar and composition. Skill to: Independently review, verify and make decisions regarding specialized function; accurately perform work following established procedures, policies, and guidelines; perform data entry and arithmetic calculations with speed and accuracy; effectively operate office equipment, personal computers and software applications including databases, spreadsheets, word processing, and imaging software; effectively communicate technical information, both orally and in writing; work effectively in a multi-task, and detail and deadline driven environment; establish and maintain effective working relationships with the public, title companies, government agencies, staff and other County employees; provide assistance and information to customers; handle a high volume of customers via telephone, in person and on-line."
Also "Preferred Special Qualifications/Transferrable Skills:* Intermediate level proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel. Intermediate level proficiency in Microsoft Access. Experience prioritizing assignments and assigning work to staff. Experience working with property record keeping."
Thus Skills section can include both key competencies and preferred qualifications.
- Benefits: Benefits Information paragraph with details: "Clackamas County proudly offers an attractive compensation and benefits package, including competitive wages, cost-of-living adjustments, merit increases (for eligible employees), and a robust sick and vacation plan for regular status employees.

We need to keep all substantive info. Not to include fluff like "Learn More About Benefits" maybe that's a link but we can keep as part of benefits? It's not substantive detail; maybe we can drop "Learn More About Benefits" as it's just a link. Also "Learn More About Benefits" is not substantive. We'll keep the benefits details.
- Pay: Compensation Annual Pay Range: $53,788.32 - $67,831.64 Hourly Pay Range: $27.583752 - $34.785454 Salary offers will be made within the posted pay range and will be based on candidate's experience (paid or unpaid) that is directly relevant to the position.

Specific hours of work will be discussed with the candidate selected for this position at the time an offer of employment is extended.

Responsibilities: The "Typical Tasks Duties may include but are not limited to the following:" then list items separated by semicolons? Actually they are sentences separated by semicolons within paragraphs. We need to break into list items. Let's parse:
