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. We 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 create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must include Pay and Schedule only if posting actually states them. The posting includes Salary Range $5,872 - $7,980. That's pay info. So we can have a Pay section with that range. Schedule? The posting mentions work hours, shifts, days off will vary based on needs, probationary period etc. It does not give a specific schedule; it's variable. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. For Schedule, does it state schedule? It says "For the duration of the probationary period, work hours, shifts, and days off will vary based on the needs of the institution." That's not a specific schedule; it's variable. Likely we should not create a Schedule section because no concrete schedule. Benefits: there is a Benefits section with details. So include Benefits. We need sections: About the role (maybe "About The Job – Your Role" content). Responsibilities: maybe "Nature of the Work" etc. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications and Special Qualifications. Qualifications maybe same as Requirements? Could combine. Skills: "Required And Requested Skills". Benefits: as given. Pay: Salary Range. We must not include headings with filler. Ensure we use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like relocation assistance, training, etc. Must not omit substantive info. We need to strip boilerplate: EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, application instructions, etc. Also remove "Initial Posting Date", "Application Deadline / Agency Department of Corrections", "Position Type Employee", maybe those are metadata; we can fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So we could include a short paragraph at top with "Initial Posting Date 08/21/2026" etc? It says fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Probably we can include a short

    with that info. But we need to decide: The instruction says "do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with Initial Posting Date, Agency, Position Type, etc. That's minor metadata. We'll include a

    at start. Now we need to extract substantive content: - About The Job – Your Role: paragraphs about career challenge, role description, location, relocation assistance, waitlist, training, etc. - Responsibilities: maybe from "Nature of the Work": maintain order, enforce rules, provide care, monitor activities, supervise work assignments, cell checks, searches, settling disputes, enforcing discipline, observing, inspecting, reporting safety, sanitary, fire hazard. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications list: high school diploma or GED, 21+ years, US citizen, meet DPSST Physical Standards, reading comprehension, report writing, retention abilities, satisfactorily complete ODOC background investigation OAR 259-008-0015. - Special Qualifications: Must pass NTN test with min score 70% in all areas, good employee work history, history of law abiding behavior OAR 259-008-0070, pass psychological evaluation and risk assessment as required by HB 2936, no evidence of substance abuse, proficient using computers, valid driver's license, subject to testing for prohibited drugs. - Skills: The National Testing Network also provides dimensional ratings... list: Good ratings: Working as a team member, Ability to effectively take control of situations, Cooperative in supporting management’s goals, Making choices reflecting good integrity, Ability to support and communicate with other staff. Acceptable ratings: Use of grammar and understanding of written content. Low risk ratings: Of being unprofessionally involved with offenders, Conducting yourself in abrasive style and miss use of authority, Experience in a public safety occupation. - Benefits: list: Family health, vision, and dental insurance; Vacation, sick leave, and 11 paid holidays; 21 days paid military leave for national guard and reserve components; Optional short and long-term disability; Term life insurance; Fully paid retirement program; Oregon Saving Growth Plan; Flexible spending accounts for health and childcare; And more. 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, employees shall be paid shift differential for shifts which starts between the hours of 12 noon and 3:00 a.m. Also note: The salary range listed above is for non-PERS qualifying applicants. PERS qualifying applicants may be eligible for an adjusted range to reflect an additional 6.95%. So we need to include that nuance in Pay section. - Pay: Salary Range $5,872 - $7,980 (monthly? likely monthly). Also note about PERS adjustment. - Schedule: Not specific; we should not create Schedule section. - About the Department: Could be part of About the role? Might be separate section "About the Department". But we only have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. "About the Department" could be considered part of About the role? Might be okay to include as a subsection under About the role? But we need to follow headings list; we could treat "About the Department" as part of About the role (maybe combine). However we have to include all substantive info; we can put department description under About the role paragraph. - Also "About The Process" includes application instructions etc which we should remove (application instructions). So we drop that. - Also "Additional Information – Please monitor your Workday..." etc is boilerplate/application instructions; drop. - Also "Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (EDI&B)..." is EEO boilerplate; drop. - Also "Veterans’ and Oregon National Guard preference..." maybe not boilerplate but could be considered a benefit? It's a preference; could be included under Benefits? Might be considered a benefit. But it's not in the list of headings; we could include under Benefits as an extra bullet. However the instruction: only include sections when posting has real specific content. It does have that content. Could add under Benefits as a bullet. But we need to decide if we want to add a separate section? Not in headings list; we could incorporate into Benefits. - Also "Questions" etc is application instructions; drop. - Also "Recruiter: Jeana Jeffries..." contact info; that's minor metadata; could be folded into short p. - Also "Workday will timeout..." etc is application instruction; drop. - Also "ODOC does not offer visa sponsorship." etc drop. - Also "This applicant list may be used to fill future vacancies." drop. Thus final HTML: start with a

    for metadata: Initial Posting Date 08/21/2026, Agency Department of Corrections, Position Type Employee, Position Title Correctional Officer - Columbia River Correctional Institution (Portland) maybe we shouldn't repeat title? The instruction says do NOT repeat the job title as a heading; but we can include it in metadata paragraph? It says fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. The job title is not minor metadata? It's the position title; but they said the page already shows it, so we shouldn't repeat as heading. Including it in a paragraph is okay? Might be considered repeating. Safer to drop the job title from metadata; just include Initial Posting Date, Agency, Position Type. But we could include location? The location is part of title. Might be okay to include location in metadata? Not sure. Safer to just include Initial Posting Date, Agency, Position Type. We'll keep it short. Now sections:

    About the role

    with paragraphs covering: career challenge, role description, location, relocation assistance, waitlist, training, etc. We need to preserve all substantive info from that section. Let's extract: - "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. By completing the application and successfully passing the NTN React test, you are securing your spot on the waitlist for future openings at this location. 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." We need to keep all that. Now 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 put that as
    • items? Could be prose. The instruction: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. This is a list of duties; we can break into bullet points.
