We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: description, impact, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, benefits, salary. No schedule. So we need sections: About the role (maybe from description), Responsibilities (Your Impact on the Mission – Excellence in Advocacy list), Requirements (The Assets You Possess/Essential Qualifications), Qualifications (maybe overlapping? Actually they have "Requirements" and then "The Assets You Possess/Essential Qualifications" which is essentially requirements. Then they have "The Successful Candidate Will Also Demonstrate ..." which could be Qualifications or Skills. We'll need to decide. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for each section heading. We need to preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove application instructions (none). Remove cookie/navigation/legal etc. We need to include Pay section only if posting actually states them. Salary is given: $88,510-$118,946 annually. So include Pay section. Benefits: they list many perks. Include Benefits section. Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Let's extract content. Job Snapshot description: "The CSEC Program provides a collaborative and intensive model of legal representation and service delivery to some of CLC’s most high-need clients: youth in foster care who have been trafficked or exploited. A CSEC Attorney will represent up to 60 CSEC clients at any given time, advocating for youth and emerging adult clients both in and outside of the courtroom. The CSEC Attorney will also collaborate with a cross sector of child welfare, workforce, educational, and other community and county agencies working with transition-age clients to ensure access to necessary resources and services to prepare for life after foster care." That's prose for About the role. Your Impact on the Mission – Excellence in Advocacy: list of duties: - Provide direct representation for up to 60 youth within the first year in the CSEC dependency courtroom; - Attend and participate in multi-disciplinary meetings (MDTs) on behalf of clients; - Pick up all new Welfare & Institutions Code Section 300(b)(2) filings assigned to the CSEC dependency courtroom; - accept transfers of CSEC identified cases from other CLC firms; - Collaborate with other members of the CLC CSEC Team which may include attorney and investigator supervisors, investigators, peer advocates, MSW interns and other supporting staff; - Work closely with the Supervising Attorney to attend and participate in meetings which may include, but are not limited to: CSEC Steering Committee Meeting, Victim Witness Protocol Meeting, ICAN CSEC Meeting, CLC CSEC Monthly Check-in Conference Calls - Develop professional relationships with CSEC service providers in the community; - Assist the Policy Team as needed on issues of legislation and policy impacting CSEC youth; - Attend at least one CSEC training per month; - Attend at some Saturday CSEC Empowerment Events and the 3-day Annual Empowerment Conference; - Provide CSEC training and consultation to case-carrying CLC attorneys, investigators, peer advocates and other staff as needed. - Continuous learning: staying informed and adapting evolving social dynamics to better engage and support clients from all backgrounds. We can turn each bullet into

  • . Requirements: "The Assets You Possess/Essential Qualifications Applicants must possess a Juris Doctor degree and be a member in good standing of the State Bar of California. Prior attendance at CSEC 101 training and at least one CSEC 102 training, and one year dependency or juvenile justice experience preferred." That's prose. "The Successful Candidate Will Also Demonstrate Deep understanding of the child welfare system, the California Welfare and Institutions Code, Rules of Court, Local Rules, and DCFS policy. High standards of ethical and professional conduct. Must be able to handle high-stress situations and maintain composure while working with clients. The role demands strong emotional resilience and the ability to provide support & care in a challenging and dynamic environment Interest & proficiency in working with children & youth in diverse communities. Have an inclusive, deeply human approach to client’s wellbeing. Ability to convey legal arguments logically and effectively in oral & written form. A valid California driver’s license, reliable automobile, and auto insurance are required while working for Children’s Law Center." That could be Qualifications or Skills. We'll split: Qualifications (education, bar, training, experience) and Skills (the rest). But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But spec says use headings for those categories if content exists. We have both. We'll create:

    About the role

    ...

    Responsibilities

      ...

    Requirements

    ...

    Qualifications

    ...

    (maybe include driver's license etc.)

    Skills

    maybe not needed if we put those in Qualifications. But we have "Ability to convey legal arguments..." etc. Could be Skills. Better: Requirements: JD, bar, CSEC trainings, experience. Qualifications: understanding of child welfare system, ethical conduct, stress handling, emotional resilience, interest in diverse communities, inclusive approach, communication skills. Skills: driver's license, automobile, insurance (maybe more like requirement). But driver's license is a requirement. Could be under Requirements as well. Let's think: The posting has "Requirements" heading then "The Assets You Possess/Essential Qualifications". Then "The Successful Candidate Will Also Demonstrate ..." which is more like qualifications/skills. So we can map: - Requirements: JD, bar, CSEC 101/102, one year dependency/juvenile justice experience preferred. - Qualifications: Deep understanding of child welfare system, Cal WIC, Rules of Court, Local Rules, DCFS policy; high ethical standards; handle high-stress; composure; emotional resilience; support & care; interest & proficiency working with children & youth in diverse communities; inclusive, deeply human approach; ability to convey legal arguments logically & effectively oral/written. - Skills: Valid California driver’s license, reliable automobile, auto insurance. But driver's license could be a requirement. However we already used Requirements for education etc. We could add driver's license under Requirements as well. But to avoid duplication, we can put driver's license under Requirements as an additional bullet. Better: Keep Requirements as education/bar/training/experience/driver's license. Qualifications as the understanding/ethics/resilience/etc. Skills maybe not needed. But we need to follow instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Requirements we could make a list. Let's decide: Section About the role: prose. Responsibilities: list. Requirements: list (JD, bar member, CSEC 101 & 102 training, 1 year dependency/juvenile justice experience preferred, valid CA driver's license, reliable automobile, auto insurance). Qualifications: list (deep understanding of child welfare system, Cal WIC, Rules of Court, Local Rules, DCFS policy; high ethical standards; handle high-stress; composure; emotional resilience; support & care; interest & proficiency working with children & youth in diverse communities; inclusive, deeply human approach; ability to convey legal arguments logically & effectively oral/written). Benefits: list (Employee Assistance Program, Company-Sponsored Benefits (Medical, Dental, Life Insurance), up to 6% employer matched retirement plan, Generous Parental Leave + Additional Leave Options, Fitness/Wellness Program, Health Care & Dependent Day Care FSA, Transit + Parking Benefits, Durfee Professional Development funds (after 2 years), Flexible working environment, Paid vacation/sick/holiday time, CLC pays current year’s mandatory bar dues for attorneys actively employed on due date with no known plans to end employment within 30 days, CLC pays bar dues for new admittees on initial payment due date with same condition). Pay:

      $88,510 - $118,946 annually

      We must not include schedule. Check for any duplicated lines: we removed boilerplate. Now produce HTML fragment. Make sure to use

      headings exactly as specified: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We are not using Skills or Schedule. So we will not include those headings. Thus output:

      About the role

      ...

      Responsibilities

      • ...

      Requirements

      • ...

      Pay

      $88,510 - $118,946 annually

      Make sure no extra whitespace issues. Now craft the content precisely. About the role prose: combine the two sentences from Job Snapshot. "The CSEC Program provides a collaborative and intensive model of legal representation and service delivery to some of CLC’s most high-need clients: youth in foster care who have been trafficked or exploited. A CSEC Attorney will represent up to 60 CSEC clients at any given time, advocating for youth and emerging adult clients both in and outside of the courtroom. The CSEC Attorney will also collaborate with a cross sector of child welfare, workforce, educational, and other community and county agencies working with transition-age clients to ensure access to necessary resources and services to prepare for life after foster care." That's fine. Responsibilities list: need to capture each bullet. Let's list: - Provide direct representation for up to 60 youth within the first year in the CSEC dependency courtroom; - Attend and participate in multi-disciplinary meetings (MDTs) on behalf of clients; - Pick up all new Welfare & Institutions Code Section 300(b)(2) filings assigned to the CSEC dependency courtroom; - Accept transfers of CSEC identified cases from other CLC firms; - Collaborate with other members of the CLC CSEC Team which may include attorney and investigator supervisors, investigators, peer advocates, MSW interns and other supporting staff; - Work closely with the Supervising Attorney to attend and participate in meetings which may include, but are not limited to: CSEC Steering Committee Meeting, Victim Witness Protocol Meeting, ICAN CSEC Meeting, CLC CSEC Monthly Check-in Conference Calls; - Develop professional relationships with CSEC service providers in the community; - Assist the Policy Team as needed on issues of legislation and policy impacting CSEC youth; - Attend at least one CSEC training per month; - Attend at some Saturday CSEC Empowerment Events and the 3-day Annual Empowerment Conference; - Provide CSEC training and consultation to case-carrying CLC attorneys, investigators, peer advocates and other staff as needed; - Engage in continuous learning: staying informed and adapting evolving social dynamics to better engage and support clients from all backgrounds. Make sure each ends with a period? Not required. Now Requirements list: - Juris Doctor degree; - Member in good standing of the State Bar of California; - Prior attendance at CSEC 101 training and at least one CSEC 102 training; - One year dependency or juvenile justice experience preferred; - Valid California driver’s license; - Reliable automobile; - Auto insurance.
