Code Enforcement Officer II
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content.
We need to parse the job posting: It includes Job Summary (description), Essential Functions (list of duties), Minimum Qualifications, Supplemental information (salary note, emergency work, benefits link, applicant notice, etc). We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove the applicant notice questions (the Yes/No etc). Also remove the "01 APPLICANT NOTICE..." etc. Also remove "Collier County BCC offers a variety of benefits..." maybe we can keep benefits? It says "Collier County BCC offers a variety of benefits to both regular full and part-time employees. For information, click here to view the comprehensive benefits package we have to offer when you join our team." That's benefits info but no specifics. According to rule: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It states they offer benefits but no specifics; that might be considered vague. The rule: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". Benefits: they say offers a variety of benefits, click here to view... That's not specific; maybe we should not include Benefits section because no concrete benefits listed. Similarly Pay: they mention salary listed reflects full pay range, new employees hired at or near entry point shown depending on qualifications. They didn't give actual numbers. That's vague; we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does not give numbers, just says salary listed reflects full pay range. No actual numbers. So we should not include Pay. Schedule: not mentioned. So we may have sections: About the role (Job Summary), Responsibilities (Essential Functions), Requirements/Qualifications (Minimum Qualifications). Possibly Skills? Not explicit. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications. The instruction: use headings for those categories. We'll include About the role (maybe not required but we can). Responsibilities: list of essential functions as - . Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications as
- . Also maybe include "Qualifications" heading for education/license etc. But we can combine.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from Essential Functions, Minimum Qualifications, Supplemental info (like emergency work, benefits link maybe not needed). Also we need to keep the note about salary offers above minimum pay grade may be considered based on qualifications. That's substantive but vague; still it's info about pay. Should we include Pay section? It says "Salary offers above the minimum pay grade may be considered based on qualifications." That's still not specific numbers but it's a statement about pay. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state something about pay (salary offers above minimum pay grade may be considered). That's still about pay, albeit not specific numbers. I'd argue we can include a Pay section with that statement. However the rule also says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). "Salary offers above the minimum pay grade may be considered based on qualifications." is not filler; it's a statement. So we could include Pay section with that sentence.
Similarly Benefits: they say offers a variety of benefits, click here to view... That's vague but still a statement about benefits. Might be considered filler? It's not specific but it's a statement that benefits exist. The rule says never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state they offer benefits and link. So we could include Benefits section with that sentence. However the rule also says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Might be better to combine Benefits and Pay into a "Compensation and Benefits" section? But headings are prescribed: Benefits, Pay. We could include both if they have content.
Schedule: not mentioned, so omit.
We also need to include metadata like Job ID? Not to be used as heading; fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. There's no explicit Job ID in text. There's "01 APPLICANT NOTICE:" etc which we drop.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's craft:
