We need to produce HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to extract content: Overview of Position (description). Essential Functions with percentages. Other Functions. Relevant Competencies (list of competencies). Knowledge, Skills And Abilities (list). Desired: Knowledge of and previous use of additional data analysis and reporting tools such as SPSS statistical software is preferred. Familiarity with the State Educational Data System (EDS) and State reporting guidelines. Beginning SQL programming and data extraction skills. Experience/Education Typical Qualifications (list). Clearances (Criminal Justice fingerprinting and background check). Benefits info: Seattle Public Schools benefits are administered by the Washington State Healthcare Authority (HCA) under the School Employees Benefits Board (SEBB). Click Eligibility for benefits is determined by the number of hours employees are anticipated to work during the school year (September 1 through August 31). Any employee who is scheduled to work 630 hours or more in a year is eligible for benefits. Salary Schedule: "Please find the salary schedule associated with this role and others like it 01" (no actual schedule). That seems like placeholder; we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "Please find the salary schedule associated with this role and others like it 01" – no actual numbers, so we should not create Pay section. Benefits: we have some info about benefits eligibility; that's specific enough to include Benefits section. Schedule: not mentioned. So we may include About the role (overview), Responsibilities (essential functions + other functions), Requirements (maybe Experience/Education Typical Qualifications + Clearances?), Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements? We need to decide). The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to map content appropriately. We have: - Overview Of Position: description -> About the role. - Essential Functions: list of duties with percentages -> Responsibilities. - Other Functions: also duties -> could be part of Responsibilities. - Relevant Competencies: list of competencies -> could be Skills? Or maybe Qualifications? The heading Skills is appropriate for competencies like Organizing, Functional/Technical Skills, Interpersonal Skills, Intellectual Acumen, District-wide Core Competencies (Collaboration, Getting Results, Decision Quality & Problem Solving, Integrity, Accountability). Those are skills/competencies. - Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: list of specific KSAs -> could be Qualifications or Skills. But we already used Skills for competencies; maybe we put Knowledge, Skills And Abilities under Qualifications. Or we could have both Skills and Qualifications sections. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we might combine. We have also Desired: additional desired qualifications. Experience/Education Typical Qualifications: typical qualifications. Clearances: maybe part of Requirements. Benefits: we have benefits eligibility info. Thus we could have sections: - About the role (overview) - Responsibilities (essential functions + other functions) - Qualifications (Experience/Education Typical Qualifications + Desired + Clearances) - Skills (Relevant Competencies + Knowledge, Skills And Abilities) - Benefits (benefits eligibility) We should not include Pay or Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must use

for each section heading. Inside sections, use

for prose,

  • for lists. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. We need to extract the details precisely. Let's parse the content.
