We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings where content exists. No job title heading. Use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. The description includes: description paragraph about purpose, duties list (Essential Job Functions), Minimum Qualifications (Education and Experience, Licenses Or Certifications, Special Requirements), Knowledge, Skill, Abilities / Supplemental Information, Physical Demands, Work Environment, EEO etc (to be removed). Also there is no explicit Pay, Benefits, Schedule. So we should not create those sections.
We need to decide which headings map to content.
We have:
- About the role: could be the initial description paragraph: "This position works under the general direction...". That is about role.
- Responsibilities: the list of duties (Essential Job Functions). That's a list.
- Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications (Education and Experience, Licenses Or Certifications, Special Requirements). Could be "Requirements" heading.
- Qualifications: maybe Knowledge, Skills and Abilities. Could be "Qualifications" or "Skills". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have both Qualifications and Skills if content distinct. But we have Knowledge, Skills and Abilities section. Could split: Qualifications for education/experience/licenses, Skills for knowledge/skills/abilities.
- Physical Demands and Work Environment maybe could be under "Requirements"? But we have no heading for those; we could omit if not matching allowed headings. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop Physical Demands and Work Environment unless we incorporate them into another allowed heading. The allowed headings list is not exhaustive? It says use

However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop Physical Demands and Work Environment unless we incorporate them into another allowed heading. The allowed headings list is not exhaustive? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples, not exclusive list. So we could add other headings if needed, but better to stick to those. However we need to preserve all substantive info; we could include Physical Demands and Work Environment under a heading like "Working Conditions" but not in list. Might be okay to add a heading like "Working Conditions". The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not restrictive. So we can add other headings as needed.
Thus we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (Education & Experience, Licenses), Qualifications (Knowledge, Skills, Abilities), Working Conditions (Physical Demands, Work Environment). Also maybe "Special Requirements" but it's None, we can drop.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, ADA, Drug-Free Workplace etc. Remove those.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must not create Pay/Benefits/Schedule sections unless posting states them (none).
We must preserve all substantive info: description paragraph, duties list, minimum qualifications (education/experience, licenses, special requirements), knowledge/skills/abilities, physical demands, work environment.
We need to format lists with - . For prose use
.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Not present.
Let's extract content.
Description paragraph:
"This position works under the general direction of the Community Development Director to administer housing related activities assisted with federal funds that the County receives primarily through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Funding sources include the Community Development Block Grant Program, HOME Investment Partnership Program and others primarily to benefit low to moderate income households and/or areas. The purpose of this position is to inspect residential properties to determine compliance with codes and quality standards, prepare cost estimates and monitor rehabilitation work and contractor performance; and to do other work as required."
That's prose.
Duties list: "Examples of Duties Essential Job Functions" then a long list of items separated by periods? Actually each duty ends with a period. We need to turn each into
- . Let's split by sentences.
List:
- Administer federal and state grant funds provided for community development within Henry County and its municipalities.
- Oversee contractors/developer in the purchase, rehabilitation and disposition of residential properties.
- Manage housing rehabilitation projects and activities assisted with CDBG, HOME and/or NSP funding.
- Prepare clear and concise reports, correspondence, and other written material; analyze and compile information.

- Prepare items and documentation for Board of Commissioners' agenda as related to the department. Presents items as necessary.
- Serve as project manager and perform any other daily duties as may be required to accomplish Department goals and objectives as assigned by the Director.
We need to ensure each is a separate
- . Some sentences have two clauses separated by semicolons but still one duty; we keep as one.
Now Minimum Qualifications:
"Education and Experience: Prefers a Bachelor’s degree in a related field and two (2) years of experience in housing rehabilitation, construction trades, code enforcement, or federal grant administration (CDBG/HOME/NSP) or equivalent combination of education and experience."
"Licenses Or Certifications: Valid State of Georgia driver’s license"
"Special Requirements: None."
We can include Education and Experience and Licenses under Requirements heading. Special Requirements None can be omitted (no content). Or we could include a line but it's None, which is filler; we should not include heading with filler. So we omit.
Now Knowledge, Skill, Abilities / Supplemental Information:
We need to capture that block.
It says:
"Knowledge, Skills and Abilities: Strong familiarity with HUD regulations, local building codes, lead-based paint hazard mitigation, and residential construction methods.
Knowledge of local government operations, community development related programs, policies and plans, and modern office practices and procedures.
Knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other similar programs.
Knowledge of Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS), Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting System (DRGR) and (HUD Environmental Review Online System (HEROS)
Skill in the use of computers and software applications related to the essential functions of the job.
Excellent communication, project management, and record-keeping skills to manage client relations and tracking systems.
Ability to get along with others and work effectively with the public and co-workers.
Ability to work flexible hours, including evening meetings.
Ability to multi-task and work within deadlines.
Ability to handle confidential and sensitive matters.
Ability to work with and process payments for accounts within the budget and department.
Ability to use computers for data entry, word processing, and accounting purposes.
Ability to operate a copying machine."
We can turn each sentence into
- under a Skills heading (or Qualifications). Since we have both Qualifications and Skills headings possible, we could put Knowledge/Skills/Abilities under Skills. Qualifications could be education/experience/licenses. Let's do that.
Now Physical Demands:
"The work is sedentary work which requires exerting up to 20 pounds of force occasionally and/or negligible amount of force frequently or constantly to lift, carry, push, pull or otherwise move objects, including the human body. Requires mental acuity including the ability to make rational decisions through sound logic and deductive processes, the ability to express ideas by means of the spoken word and have close visual acuity."
We can put under a heading "Physical Demands".
Work Environment:
"Work is performed in a relatively safe, and secure work environment."
We can put under "Work Environment". (We could combine with Physical Demands under Working Conditions but separate is fine.)
Now we need to remove EEO etc.
Now produce HTML.
