We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's structure:
About the role
... prose summarizing role and agency description.
Responsibilities
- ... each duty.
Requirements
- ... minimum qualifications.
Qualifications
- ... preferred qualifications.
Skills
Maybe we can combine skills from minimum qualifications? But we have separate skills like communication, math, computer, driver's license, physical requirements. Could be part of Requirements. But we have a heading Skills optional; we can include if we have specific skill list. The posting includes: Clear communication skills, Basic math and computer skills, Must possess and maintain a valid Driver's License, Must be able to perform all physical/essential requirements. Those could be under Skills. However we already have Requirements for minimum qualifications; we could split: Requirements = experience, age, etc. Skills = communication, math/computer, driver's license, physical ability. Let's do that.
Benefits
- ... benefits list.
Pay
Salary Range: $24.54 - $31.43 / hourly
Shift differential for hours between 6:00 pm and 6:00 am.
Eligible for up to a $2,500 hiring bonus (not available to current State of Minnesota employees).

Work Shift/Work Hours: Days/Evenings/Overnights/Rotating Shift (example: 7:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.; 3:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m.; hours may vary depending on program needs).
Days of Work: Varies; may include weekends and holidays.
Travel Required: Yes (50%), transport and accompany individuals to medical appointments, community outings, recreational activities, and spiritual events.
Shifts Available: Day, rotating (day/evening combination) OR overnight.
We also need to include location maybe in About the role.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info: mention that posting will fill multiple permanent full-time and part-time positions, locations Bloomington and Lakeville, MN. Include that.
Also mention that Direct Care and Treatment unable to provide sponsorship for work visas, applicants must be eligible to work in US, DCT does not participate in E-Verify. That's substantive; maybe include in About the role or Requirements? Could be under Requirements (legal eligibility). Let's put under Requirements as a bullet.
Also mention Designated in Connect 700 Program for Applicants with Disabilities: Yes. Could be under Requirements or Benefits? It's a program designation; maybe under Requirements? Actually it's a program for applicants with disabilities; could be under Requirements? Not exactly a requirement but a designation. Could be under About the role? I'd put under Requirements as a note.
Also mention Classified Status, Bargaining Unit/Union, FLSA Status, Work Area. Those are metadata; could be included in About the role or a separate section? Not specified headings; we could include in About the role prose.
We must not include headings for metadata like Job ID, etc.
Now let's craft content.
