(we must remove application instructions per rule). So we should not include that. We need to produce sections: About the role (description), Responsibilities (maybe duties), Requirements (maybe minimum qualifications), Qualifications (maybe license etc), Skills (maybe holistic defense emphasis?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. Let's see what we have: - About the role: we have description of office, role, holistic defense, training program, supportive team environment, location Reno NV near Sierra Nevada and Lake Tahoe. That's substantive. - Responsibilities: The posting says "Attorneys in the Criminal Division represent clients at all stages of criminal proceedings with an emphasis on holistic defense." That's a responsibility. Also maybe "represent clients at all stages of criminal proceedings". Could be considered responsibilities. So we can include Responsibilities section with that bullet. - Requirements: Minimum qualifications: graduation from recognized law school and some experience in practice of law; OR equivalent combination. Also license: current membership in Nevada Bar; valid driver's license. Also must be admitted to Nevada bar on or before start date. Also maybe experience levels I-IV. Those could be qualifications rather than requirements. But we can put them under Requirements or Qualifications. The rule: Use headings for section headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. We have: - Requirements: maybe the minimum qualifications (education, experience, bar membership, driver's license). Also "must be fully admitted to Nevada bar on or before start date". Also "Nevada does not have reciprocity". Could be included. - Qualifications: maybe the levels I-IV experience requirements. Or maybe we treat those as qualifications for different levels. Could be under Qualifications. - Skills: maybe "holistic defense", "team-based atmosphere", "training program". Could be skills. - Benefits: health insurance, paid vacation and sick leave, employer-paid public employee retirement, PERS contributions, wide range of other competitive benefits. Also mention "Washoe County provides employer-paid contributions to PERS, health insurance, and a wide range of other competitive benefits." Also "excellent benefits including health insurance, paid vacation and sick leave, and employer-paid public employee retirement." So we can list those. - Pay: salary range $112,694.40–$146,515.20; entry level starts at $112,694.40. Also mention salary range starts at $112,694 (maybe duplicate). We'll include the range. - Schedule: It says "This is a fulltime government position". So schedule: full-time. Could be included. We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience", etc. We have actual numbers. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Deputy Alternate Public Defender. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we drop the "What Happens Next To apply..." line. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like location Reno NV, base of Sierra Nevada Mountains, less than one hour from Lake Tahoe. Also mention that Alternate Public Defender is separate office from Public Defender; used when conflicts arise. Also mention that office offers comprehensive training program and supportive team environment. Also mention that prior experience and demonstrated interests in criminal defense and/or serving vulnerable populations preferred but not required. Also mention that Nevada does not have reciprocity. Also mention that candidates must be licensed to practice law in Nevada or eligible for immediate admission. Also mention that training provided in team-based atmosphere. Also mention that conditions of employment: fulltime government position; salary range; benefits. We need to format as HTML fragment: use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to decide what to put in lists vs prose. Probably: - About the role: prose

    containing description. - Responsibilities: list of duties (maybe just one item). Could be

    • Attorneys represent clients at all stages of criminal proceedings with an emphasis on holistic defense.
    - Requirements: list of minimum qualifications: education, experience, bar membership, driver's license, admission to Nevada bar, no reciprocity? Actually reciprocity is a fact not a requirement. Could be included as note. - Qualifications: list of experience levels I-IV? Might be better as list. - Skills: maybe list of skills: holistic defense, team-based work, training program. - Benefits: list of benefits: health insurance, paid vacation and sick leave, employer-paid public employee retirement, PERS contributions, wide range of other competitive benefits. - Pay: maybe prose

    with salary range. - Schedule: prose

    full-time. We must ensure we don't create sections with filler. All sections have content. Let's extract exact phrasing to preserve. From posting: - "THE WASHOE COUNTY ALTERNATE PUBLIC DEFENDER’S OFFICE is accepting applications for the position of Deputy Alternate Public Defender in the Criminal Division." (but we cannot repeat job title as heading; but we can include in prose.) - "The Alternate Public Defender is a separate office from the Public Defender. Alternate Public Defender services are used when conflicts of interest arise at the Washoe County Public Defender’s Office. This occurs when the Public Defender’s Office has previously represented a witness, victim, or co-defendant in a new case." - "Attorneys in the Criminal Division represent clients at all stages of criminal proceedings with an emphasis on holistic defense." - "Prior experience and demonstrated interests in criminal defense and/or serving vulnerable populations are preferred but not required." - "The Alternate Public Defender’s Office offers a comprehensive training program and a supportive team environment." - "The salary range starts at $112,694." (but later more precise) - "Washoe County provides employer-paid contributions to PERS, health insurance, and a wide range of other competitive benefits." - "Our office is located in Reno, NV at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and less than one hour from beautiful Lake Tahoe." - "A successful candidate must be fully admitted to the Nevada bar on or before the start date. Nevada does not have reciprocity with any other jurisdictions." - "The Washoe County Public Defender’s Office offers competitive salary and benefits in the public service sector in Northern Nevada. Salary for the entry level position starts at $112,694.40 annually." (some duplication) - Minimum Qualifications: "Graduation from a recognized law school and some experience in the practice of law; OR an equivalent combination of education and experience." - "LICENSE OR CERTIFICATE Current membership in the Bar in the State of Nevada. A valid driver's license is required at the time of appointment." - Then levels I-IV details. - "Candidates must be licensed to practice law in the State of Nevada or eligible for immediate admission to the Nevada bar." - "Training provided in a team-based atmosphere." - Conditions of Employment: "This is a fulltime government position and salary range, depending on experience, is $112,694.40– $146,515.20 and comes with excellent benefits including health insurance, paid vacation and sick leave, and employer-paid public employee retirement." - "For a full review of benefits visit Washoe County Employee Benefits ." We need to avoid duplication. We'll synthesize but preserve all substantive info; we can combine similar statements but must not lose detail. We can mention both salary start and range. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the exact numbers and details. Let's craft sections: About the role: combine description of office, role, holistic defense, training, supportive team, location Reno NV near Sierra Nevada and Lake Tahoe, preference for experience but not required. Responsibilities: list representing clients at all stages of criminal proceedings with emphasis on holistic defense. Requirements: list: graduation from recognized law school and some experience in practice of law OR equivalent combination; current membership in Nevada Bar; valid driver's license; must be fully admitted to Nevada bar on or before start date; Nevada does not have reciprocity (maybe as note). Also candidate must be licensed to practice law in Nevada or eligible for immediate admission. Qualifications: maybe the experience levels I-IV: we could list each level's requirement. But we could also treat those as part of Requirements (experience). However the instruction: Use headings for section headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to decide what goes where. We have both minimum qualifications and specific experience levels for different tiers. Could put minimum qualifications under Requirements, and the specific levels under Qualifications (since they are qualifications for different levels). Or we could put all under Requirements and leave Qualifications empty (but we must not create empty sections). So we need to put something under Qualifications. Skills: maybe "holistic defense", "team-based atmosphere", "training program". Could be list. Benefits: list: employer-paid contributions to PERS, health insurance, wide range of other competitive benefits, paid vacation and sick leave, employer-paid public employee retirement. Pay: list? Could be prose: salary range $112,694.40–$146,515.20; entry level starts at $112,694.40 annually. Schedule: full-time government position. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat info unnecessarily but preserve all substantive info. We can mention salary start in About
