District Attorney Investigator I/II
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "District Attorney Investigator I/II"? Not given explicitly but it's about that. We'll not put heading for title.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's mention of diversity etc but that's not boilerplate? It's part of description maybe keep as part of About the role.
We need to preserve all substantive info.
We need to include Pay section only if posting actually states them. Yes salary ranges given. Also mention GSI, MBA, etc. So include Pay.
Schedule: The posting includes "Tentative Schedule" with opening date, closing date continuous, application review bi-weekly. That's schedule info. So include Schedule.
Benefits: There's a Benefits/Incentives section with many details. So include Benefits.
Responsibilities: The "Examples Of Duties" for both levels. So include Responsibilities.
Requirements: The "Typical Qualifications" and "Necessary Special Requirements" etc. So include Requirements.
Qualifications: Might be overlapping with Requirements. But we can separate: maybe Requirements for mandatory, Qualifications for desired? The posting includes "Highly Desired Bilingual fluency". Also "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities". So we can have Skills section for KSAs. Qualifications maybe for education/experience? But we already have Requirements covering those. To avoid duplication, we can follow instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But they ask to use headings if content exists. We have content for Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule, Skills maybe. Qualifications maybe not needed separate if covered. But we have "Typical Qualifications" which is essentially requirements. Could treat as Requirements. Then "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities" as Skills. Also "Highly Desired Bilingual fluency" could be Skills.
Thus sections: About the role (mission description), Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not include empty sections.
Now craft HTML.
We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. Must keep details like salary numbers, percentages, leave hours, etc.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, we need
. For requirements list, also . For benefits list, also . For skills list maybe also .
We need to use for prose.
We must not include markdown fences.
Let's extract content.
About the role: The first paragraph about Ventura County District Attorney's Office mission, leadership, team size, Bureau of Investigation description, divisions, etc. Also mention diversity etc. We'll summarize but must preserve all substantive info; we cannot omit details. However we can keep as prose but must keep all info. That's a lot. We need to include all details: mention serving 850k residents, leadership of DA Erik Nasarenko, team of 320 professionals, attorneys, investigators, victim advocates, support staff, mission to protect community, uphold rule of law, Bureau of Investigation employs 60 investigators, staff composition, investigators are sworn peace officers recruited from CA law enforcement, available 24h, advanced equipment, may be called upon statewide, recognized experts, three divisions: Major Crimes, Major Fraud, Administrative, with units listed. Also mention diversity, equity, belonging, inclusion importance. Also mention the Position description? That's more responsibilities. So About the role includes the office description.
