DOC Assistant Superintendent
State of Vermont · St Johnsbury, VT · 1 mo ago
Full-time
We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: Overview (maybe not a heading? The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The posting includes Overview, Who May Apply, Environmental Factors, Minimum Qualifications, DOC PREA Requirements, Conviction History Requirements, Special Requirements, Total Compensation, Equal Opportunity Employer. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We should not repeat job title as heading. We should not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to strip out Equal Opportunity Employer (EEO) boilerplate. Also remove application instructions like "Resumes will not be accepted via e-mail. You must apply online..." etc. Also remove contact info? The instruction: "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." The contact email maybe minor metadata; we could include in a short p. But maybe drop it. The "Who May Apply" includes contact email and application instructions; we should drop application instructions but keep who may apply? The content: "This position, DOC Assistant Superintendent (Job Requisition #55781), is open to all State employees and external applicants. If you would like more information about this position, please contact Christopher.Cadorette@vermont.gov." That's minor metadata; we could put in a short p. The Job Requisition number should be dropped (minor metadata). So we keep "open to all State employees and external applicants." and contact email maybe. Environmental Factors: we keep. Minimum Qualifications: we keep. DOC PREA Requirements: we keep. Conviction History Requirements: we keep. Special Requirements: we keep. Total Compensation: we keep (benefits details). This is Benefits section essentially. We should use
Benefits
and list benefits as- . The text includes many benefits; we need to preserve all substantive information. Should we create a Benefits section? Yes, because posting states total compensation and benefits. So we create Benefits heading.
Pay and Schedule: not present (no specific pay or schedule). So we omit those sections.
Overview: The initial paragraph "Overview The Vermont Department Of Corrections is looking for an Assistant Superintendent at Northeast Correctional Complex in St. Johnsbury. The Assistant Superintendent manages staff and resources in an adult correctional facility." That's a description; we could treat as About the role or Overview. Use
About the role
maybe. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content to those headings. Overview could be About the role. Responsibilities: many duties listed. Requirements/Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications etc. Skills maybe not explicit. We could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But we need to follow instruction: use those headings when appropriate. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (maybe same), Benefits. We could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits. But we must not create empty sections. Let's decide: - About the role: overview paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of duties (the long paragraph after overview). Could be turned into- .
- Requirements: maybe the minimum qualifications (Bachelor's Degree AND four years... OR HS diploma...). That's requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe the DOC PREA Requirements, Conviction History Requirements, Special Requirements? Those are additional qualifications. Could be under Qualifications.
- Benefits: total compensation details.
We need to avoid duplication. Let's extract responsibilities: The overview paragraph includes some duties; but after "Overview" there is a long sentence describing duties. Actually the whole block after "Overview" until "Who May Apply" is a description of duties. We'll treat that as responsibilities.
Let's parse:
Overview paragraph: "The Vermont Department Of Corrections is looking for an Assistant Superintendent at Northeast Correctional Complex in St. Johnsbury. The Assistant Superintendent manages staff and resources in an adult correctional facility." That's short.
Then continues: "May recruit, hire, evaluate, and discipline staff. Supervises staff and ensures that training standards are met. Maintains systems for incarcerated individual case records, confidential files, and management information in order to monitor workload, supervise program activities, and conduct program evaluation.
