Assistant Grounds Superintendent (Golf)
maybe. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have: - About the role: could be summary of purpose and location. We'll include. - Responsibilities: major duties list. - Requirements: conditions of employment (background, etc.) maybe. - Qualifications: education, experience, etc. - Skills: maybe not explicit separate; but we could infer from qualifications. However we should not create a Skills section unless posting actually states them. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" heading; but we could include skills under Qualifications. Better to not create Skills section if not explicit. - Benefits: posting mentions benefits: "Comprehensive benefits package (medical, dental, life insurance, spouse & dependent life insurance, long-term disability, retirement, and 401(k) savings plan, annual and sick leave, tuition reimbursement, etc.). Stability of Federal Civilian ServicePeople with passion for doing work that mattersQuality of Work Life Balance". That's specific enough to include Benefits section. - Pay: posting says "Salary is dependent on experience and/or education." That's vague but it's actual statement about pay. Should we include Pay section? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state salary dependent on experience/education. That's a statement, albeit not specific numbers. It's still stating something about pay. So we can include Pay section with that sentence. - Schedule: posting says "Hours of work vary to include split days off, possible late evenings, weekends and holidays. Incumbent must be able to work both indoors and outdoors, without a fixed schedule." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. 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. Not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details but can format as lists.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, reasonable accommodation, drug-free workplace, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", etc. Our content is specific.
Now craft HTML.
First, About the role: combine location and purpose.
Paragraph: "This position is located at Casa Linda Golf Course, Morale, Welfare and Recreation Department, Naval Air Station, Jacksonville, FL.

That's fine.
Responsibilities: list major duties. We need to extract bullet points from the long duties paragraph. Let's parse:
