CORRECTIONAL OFFICER 1* - 09222026-81083

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 need to parse the posting. Job Information includes opening/closing dates, salary, job type, location, department, location of positions, MVR screening, sign-on bonus, hiring rate, background check, etc. Some of that could go under "About the role" or "Overview". We need to decide sections. We have "Overview" paragraph describing role. That could be "About the role". Also there is "Responsibilities" list (bulleted). There's "Qualifications" section with Education and Experience and Necessary Special Qualifications. There's also "Skills"? Not explicit but maybe we can infer from responsibilities? But we should not invent. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. There's no explicit "Skills" list; we could skip Skills. "Benefits": posting mentions sign-on bonus $5,000 over 18 months. That's a benefit. Also maybe other benefits not mentioned. So we can include Benefits section with that detail. "Pay": posting includes salary monthly and annually, hiring rate. So we can include Pay section. "Schedule": posting mentions shifts: "most correctional security employees can expect to be assigned to any one of three different work shifts and any number of different post assignments." Also "may be assigned to work any shift". That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none. We need to include all substantive info: opening/closing dates? Should we include? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Opening/closing dates could be part of About the role or maybe a short paragraph. It's substantive. We'll include in About the role maybe as a paragraph. We also have location, department, MVR screening, sign-on bonus, hiring rate, background check, etc. Those could be in About the role or Benefits/Pay. We need to decide structure: maybe sections: About the role (includes overview, location, dates, hiring rate, sign-on bonus, background check, MVR, etc.), Responsibilities (list), Qualifications (Education and Experience + Necessary Special Qualifications), Benefits (sign-on bonus), Pay (salary range, hiring rate), Schedule (shift info). Ensure not duplicate info. We must not repeat info across sections unnecessarily? It says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. It doesn't forbid duplication but better to avoid redundancy. However we need to include all info somewhere. Could include some in About the role and some in Benefits/Pay etc. Ensure we don't miss any. Let's extract all substantive info: - Opening Date/Time: 09/22/2026 12:00AM Central Time - Closing Date/Time: 10/05/2026 11:59PM Central Time - Salary (Monthly): $3,631.00 - $5,434.00 - Salary (Annually): $43,572.00 - $65,208.00 - Job Type: Full-Time - City, State Location: Tiptonville, TN - Department: Correction - LOCATION OF (5) POSITION(S) TO BE FILLED: DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION, LAKE COUNTY - Motor Vehicle Records (MVR) screening will be conducted prior to employment. - Newly hired Correctional Officers are eligible for a $5,000 sign-on bonus, payable over an 18-month period. - This classification, Correctional Officer 1, currently has a hiring rate which begins at $4,267 per month. - This position requires a criminal background check.

We need to ensure we include all. Now decide sections: About the role: could include overview, location, department, job type, opening/closing dates, MVR screening, hiring rate, background check, maybe sign-on bonus? But sign-on bonus is a benefit; better to put in Benefits. Pay: salary range and hiring rate. Benefits: sign-on bonus. Schedule: shift info (three different work shifts, any number of post assignments, no guarantee). Also maybe mention may be assigned to any shift. Qualifications: Education and Experience + Necessary Special Qualifications. Responsibilities: list. We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each heading has substantive content. Now produce HTML. We'll need to wrap each section in

  heading then content. For lists, use

  • . For prose, use

    . We need to avoid repeating job title as heading; we aren't. We must not include markdown fences. Let's craft. First, About the role: We'll include overview paragraph, location, department, job type, opening/closing dates, MVR screening, background check requirement. We should also mention that it's Full-Time, location Tiptonville, TN, Department of Correction, Lake County (5 positions). Also mention that it's Correctional Officer 1. Let's write:

    Overview: The Correctional Officer 1 is responsible for correctional work of average difficulty; performs related work as required. This is the entry working class in the Correctional Officer sub-series. An employee in this class performs correctional work at a state penal institution involving the custody, transport, and rehabilitation of inmates, and may be assigned to work any shift. This class differs from that of Correctional Corporal in that an incumbent of the latter acts as a minor supervisor. An applicant appointed to this class will be reclassified to the Correctional Officer 2* after successful completion of a mandatory one-year training period; inadequate or marginal performance during the training period will result in automatic demotion or termination.

    Then maybe another paragraph for job details:

    Location: Tiptonville, TN (Department of Correction, Lake County – 5 positions). Job Type: Full-Time. Opening Date: 09/22/2026 12:00 AM Central Time.

    then
    with each bullet. We need to preserve all responsibilities bullet points exactly as given (maybe slight punctuation). We'll copy them. Now Qualifications:

    Qualifications

    then we have Education and Experience: maybe a

    then list of Necessary Special Qualifications as

    then

    Salary range: $3,631.00 – $5,434.00 per month ($43,572.00 – $65,208.00 annually). The hiring rate for Correctional Officer 1 begins at $4,267 per month.

    Schedule:

    Schedule

    then

    Most correctional security employees can expect to be assigned to any one of three different work shifts and any number of different post assignments. While employee work preferences are considered, there is no guarantee that the employee will remain assigned to any specific shift and/or post assignment.

    We should also maybe mention that may be assigned to work any shift (already covered). Good. Now ensure we didn't miss any info: MVR screening included in About the role. Background check included. Sign
