We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. No job title heading. No Job ID etc.
We need to parse the posting.
Let's extract relevant content.
First paragraph: "Agency Information We endeavor to maintain timely communication..." That's boilerplate about application portal, etc. Should be removed (application instructions). Also "Are you ready to grow..." maybe part of culture description. That could be part of About the role? Actually "About The Division" later.
We need sections: About the role (maybe description of role), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (maybe minimum qualifications), Qualifications (maybe licenses/certifications?), Skills (maybe not explicit), Benefits (maybe flexible scheduling, travel reimbursement, training, etc.), Pay (salary range), Schedule (maybe in-office work first six months, teleworking after, travel every 3 weeks). We need to include only if content present.
Let's gather content.
From posting:
- Agency description: "Innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to excellence best describes the culture here at the Comptroller's Office. We take pride in the work we do serving as Texas' accountant, tax collector, treasurer, and much more! The Comptroller's office serves virtually every citizen in the state. As Texas' chief tax collector, accountant, revenue estimator, treasurer and purchasing manager, the agency is responsible for writing the checks and keeping the books for the multi-billion-dollar business of state government. Our agency workforce is as diverse as the people of Texas we serve. We value our employees and take very seriously our collective commitment to public service. Personal development opportunities are strongly encouraged through available workshops, teambuilding exercises, and on the job training. We offer flexible scheduling that helps employees maintain a healthy work-life balance."
That's about agency/culture. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the Division". There's also "About The Division" section later.
- About The Division: "The Audit Division employs Tax Auditors nationwide. Tax Compliance is the Audit Division's primary focus. We strive to increase tax reporting accuracy and to promote greater voluntary compliance for the state of Texas. As a Tax Auditor for the Comptroller's office, you'll join a bright, forward-thinking agency where a strong work ethic affects and enriches Texans' lives every single day. We'll provide you with challenging work to help strengthen your skills and encourage your professional growth. This position is one of public trust and requires a high degree of confidentiality in handling all taxpayer records, services, audits and/or transactions. In-office work is required for the first six months while you complete Basic Audit Training that requires an overall training grade of 75 or above. Employees will be required to travel approximately every 3 weeks to training centers in Austin, Dallas, or Houston. Teleworking is permitted after the initial six months of training, per Audit Division's policies. Travel reimbursement is provided for business needs. All auditors are required to attend yearly audit training, which has been approved by the Texas CPA Association and counts towards Continuing Professional Education Credit for those who are Certified Public Accountants."
That includes responsibilities? Actually it's more about division and role.
- Salary info: "Salary and the entry level position will be commensurate based on knowledge of Texas tax law and tax compliance auditing experience on a case-by-case basis. Texas: $5,416.67 - $6,562.50 Tax Auditor I - $5,416.67 Tax Auditor II - $5,958.33 Tax Auditor III - $6,562.50"
- Qualifications - External Minimum Qualifications: Tax Auditor I Graduation from an accredited college or university with a bachelor's or master's degree in accounting; a finance bachelor's or master's degree in business administration with at least 12 hours in accounting courses; or a bachelor's or master's degree in any other field with a total of 24 semester hours of accounting. NOTE: Experience as a full-time Tax Auditor with private, state, or other local government agencies may be considered for the following higher entry level positions: Tax Auditor II One (1) year as a Tax Auditor II with the Comptroller of Public Accounts. The Applicant left the agency in good standing within the past three years. Tax Auditor III One (1) year as a Tax Auditor III with Comptroller of Public Accounts. Applicant left the agency in good standing within the past three years.
- Licenses/Certifications: Valid Driver's License Proof of Automobile Insurance 36 months of Driving Record
- In This Role You Will: list of duties (many bullet-like sentences). That's responsibilities.
- Important Notes To The Candidate: includes salary contingent upon qualifications, CPA employees lateral transfer, accommodation request, skills demonstration, interview score, background check, military preference, etc. Some of that is boilerplate but some is relevant: "Salary is contingent upon qualifications." (already covered). "CPA employees in the same job classification, if selected, will be laterally transferred with no increase in salary." That's maybe a note but could be included under Pay or Requirements? Might be considered boilerplate but it's specific info about salary. We'll keep maybe under Pay note.
- Military preference etc is maybe not needed? It's about application process; could be considered boilerplate but it's specific to veterans. Might be considered EEO? It's a preference; but instructions say remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. Military preference might be considered part of EEO? Not sure. Safer to remove.
- Applications Submitted Through Work In Texas etc: application instructions, remove.
- The Comptroller's Office is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace... that's EEO boilerplate, remove.
- Resumes will not be accepted... remove.
- An applicant must be eligible to work in the United States... remove (legal).
Thus we keep: Agency description, About The Division, Responsibilities (In This Role You Will), Qualifications (minimum qualifications), Licenses/Certifications, Pay (salary range), Benefits (flexible scheduling, personal development opportunities, travel reimbursement, yearly audit training, CPE credit), Schedule (in-office work first six months, travel every 3 weeks, teleworking after six months). Also maybe "Skills" not explicit; we could omit if no specific skills list.

Also maybe "Skills" not explicit; we could omit if no specific skills list.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. The posting says "Salary and the entry level position will be commensurate based on knowledge of Texas tax law and tax compliance auditing experience on a case-by-case basis." That's somewhat vague but still substantive? It says commensurate based on knowledge/experience. Might be considered filler? It's not a specific number but it's part of salary description. However we also have specific salary ranges. We can include that sentence as prose under Pay.
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state salary, schedule, benefits.
Now craft HTML.
Structure:
About the Role
Agency description and division description maybe combined? Could split: About the role could include agency culture and division description. But we have also "About The Division" heading; but we only allowed headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we cannot have "About The Division" as a heading; we must incorporate its content under appropriate heading, likely About the role.
Thus About the role paragraph(s) will include agency culture, division description, role description.
Then Responsibilities: list of duties from "In This Role You Will". Use
- each sentence.
Then Requirements: maybe includes minimum qualifications? Actually Requirements could be the minimum qualifications (education/experience). Qualifications could be licenses/certifications. But we have both Qualifications and Requirements headings allowed. We need to decide what goes where. The posting has "Qualifications - External Minimum Qualifications:" and then "Licenses/Certifications". So we can put minimum qualifications under Requirements (or Qualifications). Licenses/Certifications under Qualifications? Or Skills? But we have Skills heading; we could put licenses/certifications under Qualifications, and maybe skills under Skills if any. There's no explicit skills list besides maybe "strong work ethic", "confidentiality", etc. But we can treat those as part of responsibilities.
Better: Use Requirements for minimum qualifications (education/experience). Use Qualifications for licenses/certifications. Use Skills maybe omitted if no specific skill list; we should not create empty heading. So omit Skills.
Benefits: flexible scheduling, personal development workshops, teambuilding, on-the-job training, travel reimbursement, yearly audit training approved by Texas CPA Association counting towards CPE.
Pay: salary range and note about commensurate, CPA lateral transfer.
Schedule: in-office work first six months for Basic Audit Training, travel approx every 3 weeks to Austin/Dallas/Houston, teleworking permitted after six months.
Now ensure we preserve all substantive info.
Let's extract exact sentences.
Agency culture paragraph:

Click here to see an inside look at the Texas Comptroller's office - that's a link, maybe remove as navigation? It's a call to action; could be considered boilerplate? It's a link to internal info; maybe keep? It's not substantive about job; it's a navigation link. Probably remove.
About The Division paragraph:
