CORRECTIONAL OFFICER 2* - 10202026-81809

The user wants me to reformat a job posting into clean, well-structured semantic HTML. Let me analyze the content and apply the rules. First, I need to identify the sections: - Job Information (metadata like dates, salary, location, department) - Qualifications (Education and Experience, Substitution, Necessary Special Qualifications) - Overview - Responsibilities - Competencies (KSA's) - includes Competencies, Knowledges, Skills, Abilities Rules: - Use

for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule) - Use

• for lists - Use

  for prose - Do NOT repeat job title as heading - Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings - Fold minor metadata into short

  or drop - Preserve ALL substantive information - Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/scam-warning) - Include section ONLY when real specific content exists - Never emit heading with filler/placeholder text - Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them - Output ONLY HTML fragment, no /, no markdown code fences Let me structure: 1. Job Information section: This has opening/closing dates, salary, job type, location, department, MVR screening, sign-on bonus, hiring rate, background check. This is metadata but substantive. I'll create a section maybe "Job Details" or "Position Information". The rules mention "Pay" and "Schedule" as possible headings. Salary is given, so Pay section could be used. Schedule? Not explicitly stated but mentions shifts. Could include in Overview or separate. I'll create a "Pay" section for salary info, and maybe "Schedule" for shift info. But the rules say only include if posting actually states them. The posting states salary ranges and mentions shifts. So I'll include Pay and Schedule. But the rules say "use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". So I can use those. I'll create: -

  Position Details

  for metadata (dates, location, department, etc.) but maybe better to fold into a short

  ? The rules say "fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it." But this is quite a bit of metadata. However, the user wants to preserve ALL substantive information. I'll create a "Position Details" section with a

  containing the metadata. Alternatively, I could create separate sections: "Pay" for salary, "Schedule" for shift info, "Location" for city/state/department. But the rules say prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine. Let me think: The posting has: - Opening/Closing dates - Salary (monthly and annually) - Job Type (Full-Time) - City, State Location - Department - Location of positions - MVR screening - Sign-on bonus - Hiring rate - Background check requirement These are all substantive. I'll create a "Position Details" section with a

  for these items. But the rules say "use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". This is a list of details, so okay. Now Qualifications: Education and Experience, Substitution, Necessary Special Qualifications (list of requirements). This is a "Qualifications" section. Overview: prose. Responsibilities: list of duties. Competencies (KSA's): includes Competencies, Knowledges, Skills, Abilities. This could be a "Skills" section or "Competencies". The rules mention "Skills" as a heading. I'll use "Competencies" as heading, with sub-lists. Now, I must not include EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. The posting doesn't seem to have that. Also, remove application instructions. The posting doesn't have explicit application instructions beyond the dates. Now, output only HTML fragment. Let me write the HTML. I'll start with

    Position Details

    then
    with list items. But the rules say "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." There's no Job ID here. I'll create:

    Position Details

    • Opening Date/Time: 10/20/2026 12:00AM Central Time
    • Closing Date/Time: 11/02/2026 11:59PM Central Time
    • Salary (Monthly): $4,098.00 - $6,160.00
    • Salary (Annually): $49,176.00 - $73,920.00
    • Job Type: Full-Time
    • Location: Tiptonville, TN
    • Department: Correction
    • Positions: 5 positions at Department of Correction, Lake County
    • Motor Vehicle Records (MVR) screening conducted prior to employment
    • Sign-on bonus: $5,000 for newly hired Correctional Officers, payable over 18-month period
    • Hiring rate: begins at $4,480 per month
    • Criminal background check required; may need to provide criminal history information
    But the salary is also Pay. Could separate Pay section. However, the rules say "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting states salary, so Pay section is appropriate. But also the salary is part of position details. I'll create a Pay section for salary, and keep other details in Position Details. But the rules say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine. I'll create a "Position Details" section with all metadata, including salary. That's fine. Now Qualifications:

    During their careers, 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.

    Note: The shift assignment paragraph is part of Necessary Special Qualifications? Actually it's separate paragraph after the list. I'll include it as a

    after the list. Now Overview:

    Overview

This is the working level class in the Correctional Officer sub-series.

    Now, the rules say "use

    for section headings". I used

    for sub-sections. That's okay, but the rules didn't forbid

    . However, they said "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements,
