We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes Salary Range $5,872 - $7,980. Also mentions Benefits details. Also mentions shift differential etc. So we can have Pay section with salary range. Benefits section with benefits list. Schedule? The posting mentions work hours, shifts, days off vary, probationary period, shift differential etc. Could include Schedule section summarizing shift info. Must not create placeholder. We'll include Schedule if there is concrete info: "For the duration of the probationary period, work hours, shifts, and days off will vary based on the needs of the institution." Also "Shift differential – based on union, employees shall be paid shift differential for shifts which starts between the hours of 12 noon and 3:00 a.m." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule.
We need sections: About the role (maybe "About The Job – Your Role" content). Responsibilities (Nature of the Work). Requirements (Minimum Qualifications). Qualifications maybe same as Requirements? Could combine. But we need to follow instruction: use headings for those categories if content exists. We'll include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Qualifications but could be duplicate. We'll keep Requirements and maybe Qualifications separate if distinct content: Minimum Qualifications and Special Qualifications. Could treat Requirements as Minimum Qualifications, Qualifications as Special Qualifications? But better to follow typical: Requirements = Minimum Qualifications, Qualifications = Special Qualifications? However instruction: "Use

We must not repeat job title as heading. So no h3 for Correctional Officer.
We must output only HTML fragment, no html/body tags, no markdown fences.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must keep details like training, probation period, etc. Must keep bullet lists for duties/requirements/benefits.
We'll need to convert paragraphs into
. Lists into
- .
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to cut out sections like "Application Instructions", "Additional Information – Please monitor your Workday...", "Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (EDI&B)...", "Veterans’ and Oregon National Guard preference...", "Questions...", "Recruiter: Jeana Jeffries...", "Workday will timeout...", "ODOC does not offer visa sponsorship...", etc. Also remove "Initial Posting Date", "Application Deadline / Agency Department of Corrections", "Position Type Employee", "Relocation Assistance Available!" maybe keep relocation assistance as part of About the role? It's substantive: "Relocation Assistance: Relocation costs may be paid in some cases. Please contact recruitment for further information." That's substantive, we can keep.
Also "By completing the application and successfully passing the NTN React test, you are securing your spot on the waitlist..." That's application instruction; maybe remove as it's instruction. But it's also substantive about process. However instruction says remove application instructions. So we should remove that line.
Also "Once hired, you will begin by attending the Basic Corrections Course (BCC)." That's substantive about training, keep.
We need to preserve all substantive info, but we can trim procedural instructions like how to apply, contact recruiter, etc. However we might keep info about NTN test requirement as part of qualifications? It's a requirement: "Must pass NTN test with a minimum score of 70 percent in all areas". That's a qualification, keep.
We need to be careful not to inadvertently keep boilerplate like EEO statements. We'll remove those paragraphs.
Let's extract substantive sections:
- About The Job – Your Role: paragraphs about career challenge, role description, location, relocation assistance, training, probationary period, etc.
- Nature of the Work: duties.
- Minimum Qualifications: list.
- Special Qualifications: list.
- Required And Requested Skills: list (good ratings, etc.)
- Benefits: list.
- Pay: salary range, note about PERS, shift differential maybe.
- Schedule: info about work hours, shifts, days off vary, shift differential.
We also have "Relocation Assistance Available!" and details.
We'll produce sections:

We must ensure not to include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now craft content. About the role: combine paragraphs: "Are you looking for a career that will challenge your personal fitness, intellect, and maturity? What if your work environment could include various tasks allowing you to gain insight on yourself and others? Becoming a Correctional Officer may be the way to fulfill those goals! As a Correctional Officer, you will set limits, provide good role model examples, and assist in facilitating positive change in the lives of adults in custody (AIC). This announcement is for Columbia River Correctional Institution in Portland, Oregon. DOC offers many positions across Oregon – locations include Ontario, Wilsonville, Madras, Salem, Tillamook, Pendleton, Umatilla, Portland, and Lakeview. If you are interested in additional locations, you will need to apply to announcements that are specific to that facility. Relocation Assistance: Relocation costs may be paid in some cases. Please contact recruitment for further information. Once hired, you will begin by attending the Basic Corrections Course (BCC). Your training is on-the-job, meaning you will start earning a paycheck during your training! Previous correctional experience is not a requirement. We invest in training and educating YOU, if you have the right personal attributes! At DOC we are looking for people with the right integrity, passion for helping others, and motivation. This position is an entry level position. Your first year is considered to be a probationary period including the BCC (seven-weeks training in our academy course, this training is eligible for college credit towards your degree), classroom training, online courses, health and fitness classes, force skills training, and a comprehensive Field Training Evaluation Program (FTEP). BCC is certified by the Department of Public Safety and Standards Training (DPSST). For the duration of the probationary period, work hours, shifts, and days off will vary based on the needs of the institution. All Correctional Officer positions are union represented — training, work hours, breaks, days off, etc. will be determined by your institution’s labor contract. Once the probationary period is completed, work shifts and days off may be subject to a bid process in accordance with the applicable labor contract." That's a lot but okay. Responsibilities: from "Nature of the Work": "As a Correctional Officer, you will work in a team setting to maintain order within the institutions, enforcing rules and regulations while providing care to ensure safety and security. You will help adults in custody be orderly and obey agency guidelines and standards while monitoring their activities and supervising their work assignments. Cell checks and searches of adults in custody and their living quarters for contraband, settling disputes, and enforcing discipline are often required. Observing, inspecting, and reporting of safety, sanitary, and fire hazard are routine." We'll make each sentence as li? Could combine into one li with multiple sentences. Better to split into li for each duty. List: - Work in a team setting to maintain order within the institutions, enforcing rules and regulations while providing care to ensure safety and security. - Help adults in custody be orderly and obey agency guidelines and standards while monitoring their activities and supervising their work assignments. - Perform cell checks and searches of adults in custody and their living quarters for contraband. - Settle disputes and enforce discipline. - Observe, inspect, and report safety, sanitary, and fire hazards.

It's not specific; but it's part of the text. It's not a placeholder like "varies". It's "And more". Might be okay but could be considered vague. Safer to keep? The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). "And more" is not exactly those but still vague. Might be okay but could be considered filler. I'd drop "And more" to avoid risk. - Additional Applicable Incentives: - Possible 5% differential for foreign language proficiency - 4% SWAT Member (eligible to try out after trial service completion) - 4% Crisis Negotiation Team (eligible to try out after trial service completion) - 4% Field Training Officer (eligible to apply after trial service completion) - Shift differential – based on union,
