State of Michigan · Muskegon, MI · 1 mo ago
AdministrativeFull-time
We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes POSITION DUTIES paragraph. Also APPOINTMENT TYPE/BENEFITS, WORK SCHEDULE, Required Education And Experience, Additional Requirements And Information, Requirements (citizenship). Also maybe Benefits? The posting mentions benefits offered by the state (full-time). It says "Therefore, you would be eligible to participate in the benefits offered by the state." That's a statement about benefits but not specific details. According to rules: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Here we have schedule details (varied schedule of 40+ hours per week, occasional travel, specific days/hours). So we can include a Schedule section with that content. Benefits: only statement that you would be eligible to participate in benefits offered by the state, but no specifics. That's vague; maybe we should not create Benefits section because no specific benefits listed. The rule says never create Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state that you would be eligible to participate in the benefits offered by the state. That's a statement but not specific benefits. Might be considered too vague; safer to omit Benefits section. Pay: not mentioned, so omit. We need headings: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can choose appropriate headings based on content. The posting includes Position Duties (responsibilities). So we can have

Responsibilities

with the duties paragraph. We have Required Education And Experience: could be

Qualifications

or

Requirements

. The posting also has Additional Requirements And Information (like drug test, background check, CDL, citizenship). Also a separate Requirements section about citizenship. Might combine into Requirements. We have Work Schedule:

Schedule

. We have Appointment Type/Benefits: maybe we can include a short paragraph about appointment type (Full-Time) under a section like About the role? Or we could create a heading "Appointment Type" but not in allowed list; but we can still use

for any section heading? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive list; we can use other headings as long as they are

. Probably safe to use headings like "Appointment Type" etc. But better to stick to given examples. We can incorporate appointment type into a brief

under Responsibilities or a separate section like "About the role". The posting starts with "POSITION DUTIES -This role is all about helping people...". That's like About the role. So we can use

About the role

for that paragraph. Then Responsibilities: maybe we separate duties? Actually the POSITION DUTIES paragraph already describes duties. Could treat that as Responsibilities. But we already used About the role for the introductory paragraph. Might be redundant. Let's think: The instruction says do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. It didn't forbid having both About the role and Responsibilities. But we need to avoid filler. We have substantive content: the paragraph about helping people, processing transactions, answering questions, etc. That's responsibilities. So we can use

Responsibilities

for that paragraph. The "Apply today..." is promotional; maybe we can include that as part of responsibilities? It's not a duty. Might be considered boilerplate? It's a call to action; maybe we can drop it as it's application instruction? The instruction says remove application instructions. "Apply today and start building your career with the State of Michigan!" is application instruction; we should drop it. Also "Review additional information about the position's responsibilities here: Position Description DOS Aide 6-E8" is a link; maybe drop as it's a reference. So we keep the core duties. Thus:

Responsibilities

This role is all about helping people. You’ll work directly with Michigan residents to review their requests, check eligibility, and make sure their applications meet requirements. You’ll process a variety of transactions, answer questions, and help customers understand different services and online options. If you like working with people, staying organized, and getting things done accurately and on time, this job gives you a meaningful way to serve your community.

Now Appointment Type/Benefits: we have "This position is Full-Time. Therefore, you would be eligible to participate in the benefits offered by the state." That's appointment type (Full-Time) and benefits statement. We could create a section

Appointment Type

with that paragraph. Benefits: we could note eligibility but no specifics; maybe we can include a short sentence about benefits eligibility within that section. Since we cannot create a Benefits section without specifics, we can incorporate into Appointment Type. Thus:

Appointment Type

This position is Full-Time, making you eligible to participate in the benefits offered by the state.

Now Work Schedule: we have details.

Schedule

As a Full-Time position, the incumbent(s) will work a varied schedule of 40+ hours per week. Occasional travel may be required for relief assignments at other branch offices.

Now Additional Requirements And Information: includes many items: must apply through NEOGOV, AI not permitted, interview attendance policy, drug test, criminal background check, CDLKTEX details, SECCHDPOS citizenship requirement, etc. Also there is a separate Requirements section about citizenship. We need to preserve all substantive information. We'll combine into a section maybe

Additional Requirements

. But we must avoid duplication. The posting also has a "Requirements" heading about citizenship. We'll incorporate that. Let's parse Additional Requirements And Information paragraph: "You must apply for this vacancy through the NEOGOV system; click on "Apply" in the job posting for instructions in submitting your electronic application. Your application for any position does not guarantee that you will be contacted by the Department for further consideration. Only those applicants interviewed will be notified of the results. The use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) in the selections process (i.e. application, written exercises, cover letter, etc.) with MDOS is not permitted. If it is substantiated that AI was used in the process, your application will be removed from consideration. If you are scheduled for an interview based on your application and fail to attend the interview without proper notice (i.e. no call/no show or cancellation without valid reason), you will be removed from the selections process and will be ineligible for consideration of similar positions for the following six months. Civil Service Commission Rule 2-7 requires that all newly hired state employees submit to and pass a pre-employment drug test prior to their actual appointment. Due to the nature of work of the Department of State, criminal records will be checked. Any position offer will be conditional until results of the criminal background record checks indicate eligibility for employment. CDLKTEX: Pursuant to the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Enhancement (CMVSE) Act and the requirements established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), this designation requires a nationwide criminal history background check prior to position appointment. The employee, once appointed, is required to successfully complete a formal CDL training course, and knowledge test prior to certification as a CDL Knowledge Test Examiner. Additionally, the incumbent will be required to pass refresher training and examination every four years. SECCHDPOS: Position requires incumbent to be a United States Citizen and pass a thorough background investigation to comply with Public Act 7 of 2008, Public Act 23 of 2008, and the Memorandum of Agreement between the State of Michigan and the Department of Homeland Security." Then there is a separate "Requirements As part of the Department of State’s continued efforts to produce secure driver’s licenses and personal identification cards, state law (Public Act 7 of 2008) requires the Department to perform security checks on designated positions. This notice is to inform you that if you are appointed to a Security Checked Position, you must provide proof of U.S. Citizenship and continue to meet the requirements for the duration of the position. Employment may be terminated if U.S. Citizenship cannot be verified by the first day of employment. The following documents may be used to verify proof of citizenship*: Original certified birth certificate issued by a government unit in the U.S. or U.S. territoryValid, unexpired U.S. passportCertificate of Citizenship (N-560, or N-561)Certificate of Naturalization (N-550, N-570 or N-578)Note: Photo identification must be provided. The current legal name and date of birth on the citizenship and identity documents should match. Spelling needs to match exactly. Date of birth needs to be an exact match.

We need to keep all substantive info. Remove application instructions (like "You must apply for this vacancy through the NEOGOV system; click on "Apply" in the job posting for instructions in submitting your electronic application.") That's application instruction; remove. Also "Your application for any position does not guarantee that you will be contacted..." maybe not instruction but still about process; maybe keep? It's about selection process; could be considered relevant. The instruction says remove application instructions. That line is not exactly instruction but more about process; I'd keep it as it's substantive about selection. However "Only those applicants interviewed will be notified of the results." is also process. Keep. AI policy: keep. Interview attendance policy: keep. Drug test: keep. Criminal background check: keep. CDLKTEX details: keep. SECCHDPOS: keep. Then the separate Requirements about citizenship: keep. Also "View The Job Specification At ..." is a link; maybe drop as it's reference. "MDOS is proud to be a silver level Veteran-Friendly Employer Michigan Veterans Affairs
