Attorney IV

We need to produce HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive information. We need to parse the job description and extract sections. The posting includes: - Job Description And Duties: description of role, duties, essential functions. - Working Conditions: location, in-office attendance, telework, etc. - Special Requirements: Membership in State Bar of California. - Application Instructions: final filing date, who may apply, how to apply, required documents, addresses, etc. But we must remove application instructions per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should drop the application instructions section entirely. - Also there is "To be considered for this job opportunity, applicants must be either reachable on an employment list, have transfer eligibility or have reinstatement eligibility." That's part of eligibility but maybe considered part of Requirements? It's about eligibility for the job (list eligibility). Might be considered part of Requirements or Qualifications. However we need to preserve substantive info. The instruction says remove application instructions, but eligibility criteria might be considered part of Requirements. The line "To be considered for this job opportunity, applicants must be either reachable on an employment list, have transfer eligibility or have reinstatement eligibility." That is a requirement for applying. Could be placed under Requirements. Also "To take the exam and gain employment list eligibility, please click here to access the exam bulletin: ..." That's application instruction, should be removed. Also "You will find additional information about the job in the Duty Statement." Not needed. Also "Working Conditions" section we keep. Also "Special Requirements" we keep. Also maybe "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule" sections: we need to include only if posting actually states them. The posting does not mention benefits, pay, or schedule specifics besides working conditions (in-office attendance four days per week, telework/hybrid). That could be considered schedule? It mentions in-office attendance four days per week, telework/hybrid allowed. That is schedule info. So we could include a Schedule section with that detail. Benefits: not mentioned. Pay: not mentioned. So we omit Benefits and Pay. We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We'll include only those with content. We need to decide what goes where. - About the role: could be a brief summary: "Under the general direction of the Chief Counsel and/or Assistant Chief Counsel, but working directly for the Administrative Director of the Division of Workers’ Compensation, the Attorney IV acts as legal counsel on the most complex and sensitive matters relating to the Division." That's a summary. - Responsibilities: list of duties (the bullet list after "The Attorney IV's duties include, but are not limited to:" and the essential functions list. - Requirements: eligibility criteria (employment list, transfer eligibility, reinstatement eligibility) plus maybe special requirements (State Bar membership). Also maybe "Special Requirements" could be under Requirements or Qualifications. We'll treat Special Requirements as Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe experience/education needed? Not explicitly given besides "must meet the Minimum Qualifications stated in the Classification Specification(s)" but not detailed. Could be omitted if no specifics. However we have "must have a high level of experience, strong technical lawyering skills, and subject matter expertise in multiple areas of the Division’s responsibility." That's more like qualifications. Could be placed under Qualifications. - Skills: maybe "strong technical lawyering skills, ability to communicate effectively both orally and in writing, ability to appear and perform competently in courts, ability to travel, etc." Could be under Skills. But we need to avoid fabricating. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the exact statements. We can break down the duties list into

• items. We need to include the essential functions list as responsibilities as well. We need to ensure we don't duplicate. Let's extract substantive paragraphs: From start: "Job Description And Duties Under the general direction of the Chief Counsel and/or Assistant Chief Counsel, but working directly for the Administrative Director of the Division of Workers’ Compensation, the Attorney IV acts as legal counsel on the most complex and sensitive matters relating to the Division.
