Applications Submitted Through Work In Texas Work In Texas (WIT) applicants must complete supplemental questions to be considered for the position.

An applicant must be eligible to work in the United States to be hired at the Comptroller's office and must remain eligible, without sponsorship or any assurance of financial or other assistance from this agency, during the term of their employment. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statements, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove application instructions like "Click here to see an inside look", "Applications Submitted Through Work In Texas", "To complete the supplemental questions please go to CAPPS Recruit", etc. Also remove navigation/legal like "Click on the occupational category for the position." etc. Also remove military preference details? That's maybe substantive? It's about military preference proof; could be considered part of qualifications? Might be considered boilerplate but it's specific to the posting. However guidelines: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Military preference is not exactly EEO but it's a special consideration; might be considered part of qualifications? It's not a standard qualification but a preference. Could keep as part of "Qualifications" maybe? But it's more about application process. Might be considered application instruction. Safer to drop it. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to decide sections: - About the role: could combine agency info and division description? The heading "About the role" is appropriate for a summary of the role and agency. We'll include description of agency culture, division focus, etc. - Responsibilities: the "In This Role You Will" list. - Requirements: maybe combine qualifications and licenses? The heading "Requirements" could be used for minimum qualifications and licenses/certifications. - Qualifications: maybe separate? But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings allowed. We could use "Requirements" for minimum qualifications and "Qualifications" for preferred/experience? However the posting has "Qualifications - External Minimum Qualifications". Could treat that as Requirements. Then maybe "Skills" for skills like analytical, communication? Not explicitly listed. Could skip. - Benefits: we have flexible scheduling, personal development opportunities, workshops, teambuilding, on the job training, travel reimbursement, yearly audit training counts towards CPE. Also maybe "We offer flexible scheduling that helps employees maintain a healthy work-life balance." That's a benefit. Also "Personal development opportunities are strongly encouraged through available workshops, teambuilding exercises, and on the job training." Also "Travel reimbursement is provided for business needs." Also "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's a benefit. - Pay: we have salary range and specific levels. So we need a Pay section. - Schedule: we have flexible scheduling mentioned, also in-office work required for first six months, travel approx every 3 weeks, teleworking permitted after six months. So schedule info. We must not create sections with placeholder text 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 we also have specific salary numbers. We can include Pay section with the specific salary range and levels. The phrase "commensurate based on knowledge..." could be included as prose but not as a placeholder. It's okay. We must not include headings with filler/placeholder text. So we need to ensure each heading has real content. Now produce HTML fragment with

headings and

• for lists,

  for prose. We need to decide which content goes into which section. Let's draft:
