Automotive Service Worker
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the duties list exactly as described, but we can format as list items. Must not lose any detail.
Let's parse the posting:
First paragraph: "Under direct supervision, the candidate will perform automotive maintenance services such as inspections, oil changes, lubrication, cleaning, tire changing, and simple repairs; battery service, checking, servicing, patching and changing tires; clean, wash and polish vehicles; clean interior of vehicles; dispense gasoline and oil; check the level, and refill automobile fluids such as coolant, oil, transmission and brake fluids; Candidates will also assist in performing repairs, in shops and on the road.

That's responsibilities/duties.
Then "Preferred Skills Selection preference will be given to candidates possessing; New York State Class A or B Commercial Driver License ("CDL") Driver License with air brakes and tow endorsement. New York State Certifications: As a Motor Vehicle Inspector certified in Light Vehicles, Group 1; As a Motor Vehicle Inspector certified in Heavy Vehicles, Group 2; As a Motor Vehicle Inspector certified in Motorcycles, Group 3; As a Motor Vehicle Inspector certified in Emissions, Group 1 If selected for the position the above mentioned licenses must be maintained for the duration of employment."
Then later there is "Minimum Qualifications For Level I Assignments ..." and "For Level II Assignments ..." plus license requirements.
Also "Preferred Skills Preferred skills Selection preference will be given to candidates possessing 1. New York State Class A or B Commercial Driver License ("CDL") Driver License with air brakes and tow endorsement. This license must be maintained throughout employment in this title. 2. New York State Certifications: a. As a Motor Vehicle Inspector certified in Light Vehicles, Group 1 b. As a Motor Vehicle Inspector certified in Heavy Vehicles, Group 2 c.

To determine if the residency requirement applies to you, please discuss with the agency representative at the time of interview."
Then salary: ", $49,634.00 – $63,202.00" at end.
We need to remove application instructions, boilerplate, duplicated lines, EEO etc.
We need to keep all substantive info: duties, qualifications (minimum qualifications for Level I and Level II), license requirements, preferred skills, 55a Program, Public Service Loan Forgiveness, Residency Requirement, salary.
We should not include "Current City Employees: Please log into..." etc. Those are application instructions, remove.
We need to avoid repeating duplicated content: The preferred skills appear twice; we should combine.
We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe a brief summary?), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (maybe license requirements?), Qualifications (minimum qualifications), Skills (preferred skills), Benefits (55a, loan forgiveness, residency), Pay (salary). Schedule not present, omit.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
Let's extract each piece precisely.
Duties: The first paragraph plus maybe also "Candidates will also assist in performing repairs, in shops and on the road." Already included. Let's capture as list items.

We also saw earlier mention of Emissions Group 1 etc. We'll include d.
Now Benefits: 55a Program, Public Service Loan Forgiveness, Residency Requirement.
We need to preserve exact wording? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the sentences as is, maybe as list items.
55a Program: "This position is also open to qualified persons with a disability who are eligible for the 55-a Program. Please indicate at the top of your resume and cover letter that you would like to be considered for the position through the 55-a Program."

Pay: "$49,634.00 – $63,202.00"
We should not include the leading comma before salary.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with sections.
We'll decide sections:
About the role
maybe a short paragraph summarizing? But we have no explicit "About the role" text; we could use the first sentence "Under direct supervision, the candidate will perform automotive maintenance services..." as About the role? But that is more duties. Could treat that as About the role (overview). However we already have Responsibilities section with detailed duties. To avoid duplication, we could put the overview in About the role and then Responsibilities as list. But the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine About the role and Responsibilities? But they ask to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. We need to include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. We have content for Responsibilities (duties). We have content for Qualifications (minimum qualifications). We have content for Requirements (license requirements). We have content for Skills (preferred skills). We have content for Benefits (55a, loan
