We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We have job posting details: Position Number, County, Posting End Date, Anticipated Starting Salary, Location, mission statement, safety-sensitive, drug testing, medical marijuana policy, Position Information (Job Series, Classification, Class Code, Pay Grade, Salary Range), Job Summary, Primary Responsibilities (list), Knowledge And Skills (list), Minimum Qualifications (text), Licensure/Certifications N/A, OTHER JOB RELATED EDUCATION..., EEO statement (boilerplate to remove). Also we have Anticipated Starting Salary: $50,845.00. Also Salary Range: $50,845 - $75,251. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So remove the EEO paragraph at end. Also remove "Position Number: 22083315 County: Miller Posting End Date: 12/31/2026" maybe minor metadata; we can fold into a short

or drop. The instruction: 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 location and maybe posting end date? But they said "fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." Probably we can include a

with location and maybe posting end date. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep location, anticipated starting salary, salary range, job summary, responsibilities, knowledge and skills, minimum qualifications, maybe licensure/certifications (N/A) - we should not create a section for that if it's N/A. Also we have "OTHER JOB RELATED EDUCATION AND/OR EXPERIENCE MAY BE SUBSTITUTED..." that's part of qualifications. We need sections: About the role (maybe job summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe minimum qualifications), Qualifications (maybe knowledge and skills?), Skills (maybe knowledge and skills?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have no explicit Benefits or Schedule info. So we should not create those sections unless posting actually states them. There's no benefits or schedule. So we omit Benefits and Schedule sections. Pay: we have Anticipated Starting Salary and Salary Range. So we can include a Pay section with that info. Schedule: not present, omit. Now decide which headings to use: About the role (job summary), Responsibilities (primary responsibilities), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (maybe "Knowledge And Skills" could be Skills). But we have both Knowledge And Skills and Minimum Qualifications. Could map Knowledge And Skills to Skills section, Minimum Qualifications to Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay. Possibly also include "Qualifications" for education/experience substitution note? But we can combine. We need to avoid filler headings. So we must ensure each heading has substantive content. Let's extract content: About the role: Job Summary: "The Corrections Officer is responsible for maintaining security and overseeing the work and behavior of inmates in a correctional facility. This position is governed by state and federal laws and agency/institution policy." Also mission statement maybe part of about role? Could include but it's more about department. Could include in About the role as extra sentence. Responsibilities: list of Primary Responsibilities items. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications: "The formal education equivalent of a high school diploma." Also note about satisfaction not entitling to automatic progression, promotion discretion, etc. Also "Licensure/Certifications N/A" maybe not needed. Also "OTHER JOB RELATED EDUCATION AND/OR EXPERIENCE MAY BE SUBSTITUTED FOR ALL OR PART OF THESE BASIC REQUIREMENTS, EXCEPT FOR CERTIFICATION OR LICENSURE REQUIREMENTS, UPON APPROVAL OF THE QUALIFICATIONS REVIEW COMMITTEE." That's part of qualifications. Qualifications: maybe we can put the substitution note here. Skills: Knowledge And Skills list. Pay: Anticipated Starting Salary: $50,845.00; Salary Range: $50,845 - $75,251. We also have location and posting end date; we can put in a short

before sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "Corrections Officer". Not used. We must not include boilerplate EEO etc. Now produce HTML fragment:

Location: Southwest Arkansas Community Corrections Center - Texarkana. Posting end date: December 31, 2026.

Then sections:

About the role

The Corrections Officer is responsible for maintaining security and overseeing the work and behavior of inmates in a correctional facility. This position is governed by state and federal laws and agency/institution policy. The mission of the Department of Corrections is to be a public safety resource for Arkansas families by providing professional management solutions and evidence-based rehabilitative initiatives for offenders.

Responsibilities

  • Supervise the security and conduct of inmates in cells, during group meetings, meals, recreation, visitations, and work assignments.
  • Maintain perimeter security by monitoring the facility for escapees and/or disturbances.
  • Perform security checks of buildings and grounds, including shakedowns and searches of inmates.
  • Maintain logs for work release inmates and write incident reports.
  • Escort inmates to visitations, court, and work assignments.
  • Attend shift briefings to discuss incidents, problems, and weak points in security.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Requirements

The formal education equivalent of a high school diploma. Satisfaction of the minimum qualifications, including years of experience and service, does not entitle employees to automatic progression within the job series. Promotion to the next classification level is at the discretion of the department and the Office of Personnel Management, taking into consideration the employee’s demonstrated skills, competencies, performance, workload responsibilities, and organizational needs.

Qualifications

Other job-related education and/or experience may be substituted for all or part of these basic requirements, except for certification or licensure requirements, upon approval of the Qualifications Review Committee.

  • Monitor inmate activities and write detailed reports.
  • Capability to perform physically demanding tasks, including emergency responses.
  • Quick and sound decision-making in high-stress or emergency situations.
  • Exercise self-defense tactics when necessary.

Pay

Anticipated starting salary: $50,845.00. Salary range: $50,845 – $75,251.

We omitted Benefits and Schedule. Check for any duplicated lines: we included mission statement in About the role; that's okay. Check for any boilerplate: we removed EEO, safety-sensitive drug testing, medical marijuana policy? Wait, we removed that? The posting includes safety-sensitive position and drug testing, medical marijuana usage prohibition. That is substantive information about the job (safety-sensitive, drug testing). Should we preserve? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The safety-sensitive and drug testing info is not boilerplate; it's specific to the position. So we should include it somewhere, perhaps in About the role or Responsibilities? It's about the position being safety-sensitive and subject to random drug testing, and medical marijuana prohibition. That's substantive. We need to keep it. We missed that. Let's add a sentence in About the role or maybe a separate section? Could add to About the role after job summary. Thus About the role paragraph: include mission statement, safety-sensitive designation, drug testing, medical marijuana prohibition. Let's craft: "The Corrections Officer is responsible for maintaining security and overseeing the work and behavior of inmates in a correctional facility. This position is governed by state and federal laws and agency/institution policy. All DOC positions are designated as Safety Sensitive Positions and are subject to random drug testing pursuant to the Secretarial Directive governing Personnel Drug Testing. Medical marijuana usage, as defined in Amendment 93 of the Arkansas Constitution, prohibits Personnel in a Safety-Sensitive Position from the use of medical marijuana even if they are qualifying patient under the amendment and/or hold a registry identification card. Department Personnel are prohibited from the use or possession of a medicinal marijuana card pursuant to this policy and state law. The mission of the Department of Corrections is to be a public safety resource for Arkansas families by providing professional management solutions and evidence-based rehabilitative initiatives for offenders." That's a bit long but okay. Now ensure we didn't repeat any content elsewhere. Now check for any other substantive info: Position Number, County, Posting End Date we folded into short p. Location we included. Job Series, Classification, Class Code, Pay Grade: we didn't include those. Are they substantive? They are metadata about the position; maybe we should include them? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Position Number, County, Posting End Date are minor metadata. Job Series, Classification, Class Code, Pay Grade might also be considered minor metadata? They are part of Position Information. Could be considered metadata but maybe they are substantive? The instruction says "fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." It doesn't explicitly say to drop all Position Information, but we should preserve substantive information. The job series, classification, class code, pay grade might be considered substantive? However, they are not duties or qualifications; they are internal codes. The instruction about minor metadata suggests we can drop them or fold into a short p. Since we already have a short p for location and posting end date, we could add those details there as well. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; if we drop them, are we losing substantive info? They might be considered minor metadata. The instruction says "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can fold them into a short p. Let's include them in the same p. Thus p: "Location: Southwest Arkansas Community Corrections Center - Texarkana. Posting end date: December 31, 2026. Position Number: 22083315; County: Miller. Job Series: Corrections Officers - Career-path; Classification: Corrections Officer; Class Code: SCO05P; Pay Grade: LES02." That preserves the info. Now check for any other substantive info: "Anticipated Starting Salary: $50,845.00" we included in Pay. Also "Salary Range: $50,845 - $75,251" included. Now check for any other info: "All DOC positions are designated as Safety Sensitive Positions and are subject to random drug testing pursuant to the Secretarial Directive governing Personnel Drug Testing. Medical marijuana usage, as defined in Amendment 93 of the Arkansas Constitution, prohibits Personnel in a Safety-Sensitive
