DEPUTY ASSESSOR REAL PROPERTY - 40008176
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 can include a short paragraph with date posted, closing date, hiring range, job type maybe. But we should not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. The posting does state Hiring Range (pay) and Job Type (schedule). However the instruction says: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences." Also: "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a 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." So we could create a Pay section if we have hiring range. But they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting does state Hiring Range and Job Type (Full-Time, 37.5 hrs/week, Exempt). So we could include Pay and Schedule sections. However they also said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be better to combine Pay and Schedule into a single "Details" paragraph? But they explicitly said use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use those headings if we have content. We have Pay (hiring range) and Schedule (job type). We also have Benefits? Not mentioned. So we should not create Benefits section. We have About the role? Could use Summary Objective as About the role. Responsibilities = Essential Functions. Requirements = Minimum Education And Experience Requirements plus Special Certifications And Licenses? Could combine. Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities could be Skills section. Qualifications maybe combine with Requirements. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's think: We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all content: summary objective, essential functions, knowledge, skills, abilities, minimum education and experience, special certifications and licenses, physical demands, unavoidable hazards, standard clauses, essential safety functions, ADA compliance, background check statement. Also metadata: Department Tax Administration, Date Posted, Closing Date, Hiring Range, Position Number, Job Type. We can put metadata in a short
at top. We need to use
for section headings. Let's decide sections: - About the role (summary objective) - Responsibilities (essential functions) - Requirements (minimum education and experience + special certifications and licenses) - Skills (knowledge, skills, and abilities) - Pay (hiring range) - Schedule (job type) - Physical Demands - Work Environment (unavoidable hazards) - Safety (essential safety functions + ADA compliance + background check?) Could combine but maybe separate sections: Safety, Equal Opportunity (ADA), Background Check. However we should avoid many thin sections. Could combine Safety and Compliance into one section "Safety and Compliance". But we need to preserve all info; we can include paragraphs under that heading. We must not create sections with filler text. All headings must have real content.
