for sections: 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 as headings; can fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Schedule only if posting actually states them. Pay: Salary Range: $20.68 - $25.85 / hourly. So we have pay info. Schedule: Work Shift/Work Hours: Day Shift, Days of Work: Monday - Saturday, Telework Eligible: No, Full/Part Time: Part-Time, expected approx 12 hours per week. So schedule info exists. Benefits: there is a Benefits section with details. So include Benefits. About the role: we have description: "The work you'll do is more than just a job..." and "Explore Minnesota is seeking a part-time customer service specialist to support stocking and visitor services..." Also "Job Summary This is a part-time position expected to work approximately 12 hours per week Industry support and responsive customer service Brochure and marketing material management". Could treat as About the role.

Also maybe other duties. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications list. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list. Skills: maybe combine some skill statements? Could include skills like customer service practices, communication, digital navigation tools, MS Suite, organizational skills, attention to detail, ability to lift, etc. But we need to avoid duplication. We'll decide sections: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (maybe derived from both?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Ensure we don't create empty sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no
Customer Svcs Specialist. We must not put Job ID etc as headings; we can include a short
with location etc maybe but not required. 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
with location, telework, etc. But we might drop it to keep concise. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information. Location is substantive: Winona, also Work Area: La Crescent, MN/Dresbach Welcome Center. So we need to keep location info. Could put in a
under About the role or separate metadata paragraph. Probably better to include a short
after opening: e.g.,
Location: Winona, MN (Dresbach Welcome Center). Part‑time, day shift, Monday‑Saturday, ~12 hrs/week, no telework.
That captures location, shift, etc. Then we can still have Schedule section for more detail? Might duplicate. Better to keep schedule details in Schedule section, and location in a short paragraph. We must not include application instructions (How To Apply, Contact etc). So remove those. We must not include EEO boilerplate, etc. We must not include "About Explore Minnesota" maybe could be part of About the role? It's about agency. Could include as part of About the role? But we already have About the role for the job. The "About Explore Minnesota" is agency description; could be considered part of About the role? Might be okay to include as a separate section? Not listed as allowed headings; only those specific headings. So we should incorporate that info into About the role or maybe drop if not directly about role. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can incorporate agency description into About the role. Now craft HTML. We needfor each section. Let's outline:
Location: Winona, MN (Dresbach Welcome Center). Part‑time, day shift, Monday‑Saturday, ~12 hours/week, no telework.

under Requirements? The allowed headings are limited; we cannot create new headings like "Additional Requirements". So we need to incorporate that info into existing sections, perhaps under Requirements or a
after Requirements. Since we cannot add new heading, we can add a paragraph under Requirements (or after) describing those additional requirements. Let's add a
after the Minimum Qualifications list: "Additional requirements include successful completion of employee reference checks, a criminal background check (conviction not an automatic bar), and, if applicable, a driver’s license record check for state‑vehicle operation. Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the country without sponsorship for an employment visa." Similarly, we might include "Designated in Connect 700 Program for Applicants with Disabilities: No" maybe not needed. We also need to include "Classified Status: Classified", "Bargaining Unit/Union: 206 - Clerical/AFSCME", "FLSA Status: Nonexempt". Those are substantive but minor metadata. Could fold into a short paragraph under About the role or a separate
. Since we already have location paragraph, we could add another paragraph for employment details. But we must avoid too many thin sections. We can add a
after location paragraph: "Position is classified, nonexempt, represented by AFSCME Local 206 (Clerical)." That captures. We must not include "Who May Apply: Open to all qualified job seekers" etc. That's generic. We must not include "Date Posted", "Closing Date". Those are metadata but could be considered minor; we could drop them as per instruction to fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. We could include a short paragraph with posting dates if desired, but not required. The instruction says "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short
for metadata like posting dates, job id, etc. But we already have location paragraph; we could add another
for metadata. However we must avoid too many paragraphs
