Deputy City Attorney or Assistant City Attorney (DOQ)

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes job duties, qualifications, etc. We need to decide headings: Use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. The posting includes job duties (essential functions) for both Deputy and Assistant City Attorney. Also qualifications for each. Also tools and equipment, physical demands, work environment. Also pay class & hiring range: "Depending upon experience". That's vague; we should not create Pay section if it's not specific (like "commensurate with experience" etc). The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It says "Depending upon experience" - that's not a specific amount; likely we should not create Pay section. Schedule: days worked Monday-Friday, hours 8-5. That's specific schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section. Benefits: not mentioned. So omit Benefits. About the role: maybe we can include a brief summary? The instruction: do not repeat job title as heading. Could have About the role as a heading with prose summarizing. But we must preserve all substantive information; we can't invent. However we could put a short paragraph under About the role that describes the position generally, but that might be considered summarizing. Safer to not include About the role if we don't have explicit content. The posting includes "JOB DUTIES:" and "QUALIFICATIONS:" etc. So we can have Responsibilities (duties) and Requirements (qualifications). Also maybe Skills? Could extract skills from qualifications. But better to have Responsibilities and Requirements sections. Also maybe a section for Working Conditions (Physical Demands, Work Environment). Could combine into a section like Working Conditions. But headings list includes Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Not Working Conditions. However we can still use other headings? 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? Likely we should stick to those headings. So we can have Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Schedule. Qualifications could be separate from Requirements? Might be overlapping. We could treat Requirements as qualifications. Skills could be derived from qualifications but we might not need separate Skills if not explicit. The posting includes "Demonstrated skills in performing legal research..." etc. That's skills. So we could have Skills section. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include duties, qualifications, tools/equipment, physical demands, work environment, schedule. We'll need to fit them into allowed headings. Option: Use Responsibilities for duties. Use Requirements for qualifications (including education, license, experience, knowledge, skills). Use Skills maybe for specific skills list. But we might duplicate. Better to have Responsibilities, Requirements, and Schedule. Then we can include tools/equipment, physical demands, work environment under Requirements as part of qualifications? Might be okay but could be considered not preserving detail if we lump them. However we can include them as

under Requirements. We must not create Pay/Benefits sections. Schedule we have. Thus output:

Responsibilities

• ... duties for Deputy City Attorney ...
... etc. But we have two positions: Deputy City Attorney and Assistant City Attorney. The posting includes duties for each. We could combine them under Responsibilities with subheadings? But we cannot add extra headings besides h3. Could use

to differentiate. Probably okay to list duties for both. We need to preserve all substantive information: essential functions, non-essential duties, etc. We'll include them as list items. Similarly for Qualifications: include education, license, experience, knowledge, skills, tools/equipment, physical demands, work environment. We'll need to avoid repeating boilerplate like "Attendance at work is an essential function of this position." That's substantive; we keep. We must remove EEO etc. Let's craft. First, Responsibilities section: include duties for Deputy City Attorney (essential functions, non-essential duties) and Assistant City Attorney (essential duties). We'll combine. We'll produce

• ... each duty as separate item. We need to be careful not to lose any detail.

Assistant: not explicitly stated years? It says "Considerable knowledge of state statutes..." but not explicit years.
