Assistant State's Attorney - Entry Level
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content.
From posting: We have description: Who We Are, Mission, Who We Are Looking For, etc. But we must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections like About the role (maybe from "General Description" or "Who We Are Looking For"?). Responsibilities: Duties/Responsibilities. Requirements: maybe "Minimum Qualifications". Qualifications: maybe same? Actually they have Minimum Qualifications and also "Excellent legal research..." etc. Could combine as Requirements and Qualifications. Skills: maybe "Work well with people from diverse communities..." etc. Benefits: they have Benefits section. Pay: Salary range given. Schedule: not mentioned (no schedule). So we should not include Schedule heading.
We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Salary is given as range, so Pay section okay.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not put Assistant State's Attorney... etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must include all details from posting, but we can format into sections.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions, navigation, cookie, legal, etc. Also remove "See Open Roles Back to Job Openings", "Apply Share", etc. Also remove repeated blocks.
We need to include the substantive content: Who We Are, Mission, Who We Are Looking For, General Description, Duties/Responsibilities, Minimum Qualifications, Working Environment, Physical Requirements, Benefits, Salary (Pay), maybe also note about work authorization, no visa sponsorship, etc. Also note about in-person attendance requirement.
We must not include EEO statement. Also not include "Equal Employment Opportunity:" block. Also not include "The CCSAO does not provide relocation assistance."? That's part of benefits? It's a note about relocation assistance; could be included in Benefits section? It's not a benefit but a note. Might be considered substantive; we can include as a paragraph under Benefits or separate note. But we should not create a section for it unless we have a heading. Could include as a
after Benefits. We must not include duplicated lines. The posting appears duplicated many times; we need to deduplicate. Let's extract unique substantive paragraphs.

We must not include links? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. The links are part of the content; we could keep them as plain text? Probably we should keep the sentences but maybe remove the actual URLs? The instruction didn't say to strip URLs. It said preserve ALL substantive information. So we keep the sentences including "Follow this link to the Cook County Benefits and this link to Cook County Pension Fund if you want to learn more about our amazing benefit coverage." That's okay. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. We have removed those. Now we need to map to headings. Possible sections: - About the role: Could combine Who We Are, Mission, Who We Are Looking For, General Description? The instruction says use
