Early Intervention Coordinator
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip things like "Click HERE for Video", "This is a full time, benefit eligible position, located in Lowndes County, Georgia." maybe keep location? It's substantive? Might be considered metadata but not a heading. Could be placed in a short
. Also "Who we are." is a heading? It's a phrase; we can treat as section heading "About the agency" maybe but we need to use headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., meaning those are examples; we can use those headings if appropriate. But we must only include a section when posting has real, specific content for it. So we can have sections: About the role (maybe "Who we are" and description of agency), Responsibilities (Job Responsibilities), Qualifications (Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications), Benefits (What we offer). Possibly also "Additional Information" could be under "About the role" or separate? But we should not create sections without real content. Additional Information includes wellness breaks etc. Could be part of Benefits or About the role. Might be better to include a section "Additional Information" but not in the prescribed list; but we can still use with any heading? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests using those. Safer to stick to those.
Thus we can map:
- About the role: includes "Who we are." description of agency and maybe location and full-time benefit eligible.
- Responsibilities: Job Responsibilities bullet list.
- Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications combined? Could separate into Requirements and Qualifications but we have both. Could do Requirements for minimum, Qualifications for preferred. But we need to avoid thin sections. Might combine into Qualifications.
- Benefits: What we offer list.
We must not include Pay or Schedule as not present.
We must preserve all substantive info: location, full-time benefit eligible, agency description, benefits list, responsibilities list, qualifications details, additional info (wellness breaks, employment info like verification, drug screening, background check, ADA accommodation, etc). We need to decide where to put additional info. Could be part of About the role or a separate section like "Additional Information". Since we have no heading for that in list, maybe we can add a section "Additional Information" as Additional Information
. The instruction didn't forbid other headings, just gave examples. It said use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use other headings as long as they are . Probably acceptable.
Thus we will have sections:

Additional Information
Georgia Department of Public Health Commissioner and leaders encourages all employees to engage in regular wellness activities and to make lifestyle choices that promote health and well-being. The use of wellness breaks during the workday is authorized to support this philosophy and assist employees in meeting their wellness goals. A maximum of 30 minutes in a given workday may be used to engage in wellness activities, generally in the form of two 15-minute breaks or one 30-minute break.
Employment Information: Current State employees are subject to State Personnel Board rules regarding salary. DPH accepts educational credential recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and/or the US Department of Education (DOE) will be considered. DPH will contact educational institutions to verify degree, diploma, licensure, etc. The candidate selected for this position may be subject to pre-employment drug screening and a criminal background check. As an employee of DPH, in the event of an identified emergency you may be required, as a term and condition of employment, to assist in meeting the emergency responsibilities of the department. If you require accommodations under the American Disability Act (ADA), email request by the closing date of this announcement to: DPH-HR@dph.ga.gov. DPH is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Due to the volume of applications received, we are unable to provide information on application status by phone or e-mail. All qualified applicants will be considered but may not necessarily receive an interview. Selected applicants will be contacted by the hiring agency for next steps in the selection process. Applicants who are not selected will not receive notification. This position is subject to close at any time once a satisfactory applicant pool has been identified.
We must ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO? We kept "DPH is an Equal Opportunity Employer." That is EEO boilerplate; instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we should remove that line. Also remove "Due to the volume of applications received..." etc as application instructions? That's more about process; maybe considered boilerplate. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove lines that are purely boilerplate: "DPH is an Equal Opportunity Employer." and the paragraph about application status, selected applicants contacted, etc. Also "If you require accommodations under the American Disability Act (ADA), email request by the closing date of this announcement to: DPH-HR@dph.ga.gov." That's not exactly boilerplate; it's a specific instruction for accommodation request. Might be considered application instructions? It's about accommodation request; maybe keep? It's not exactly application instructions but could be considered part of process. The instruction says remove application instructions. That likely includes info about how to apply, accommodation request, contact, etc. Safer to remove that line as well. Also "Current State employees are subject to State Personnel Board rules regarding salary." That's employment info, maybe keep? It's not application instruction. Might be okay.
We also need to remove duplicated lines. There's none.
We must preserve all substantive information. The accommodation request line might be considered substantive for applicants needing ADA; but it's an instruction. I'd lean to remove it as application instruction. However, the instruction says "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So yes, accommodation request is an application instruction. So remove.
Thus Additional Information section should contain only substantive info: wellness breaks encouragement, employment info about salary rules, credential verification, drug screening, background check, emergency responsibilities, maybe also mention that DPH accepts credentials recognized by CHEA/DOE. Also maybe mention that the position is subject to close at any time once a satisfactory applicant pool has been identified. That's also kinda a notice but not application instruction? It's about posting closure; could be considered boilerplate? Might be considered a notice; but it's substantive about the position. I'd keep.
Thus Additional Information paragraph: combine wellness breaks and employment info.
