for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not repeat job title. Must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Must remove duplicated lines. Must not include application instructions (like "Attach all relevant supporting documents...") Actually that is substantive? It's about documents. Might be considered part of application instructions, which we should remove per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove the paragraph about documents, temporary assignment verification, etc. Also remove "Supplemental Information" maybe? Actually Supplemental Information includes salary and requirements etc. Some of that is substantive (salary, requirements). We need to keep salary and requirements but remove application instructions like "Documents: Attach all relevant supporting documents..." etc. Also remove "Information about Temporary Positions:" etc. That's likely application instructions. Also remove "Equal Opportunity" boilerplate. Remove "Payday" maybe? Payday is part of Pay info, we keep. Remove "10-month civil service and SSP employees enjoy a range of competitive benefits:" that's benefits, keep. Remove "Union & Collective Bargaining:" maybe part of benefits? It's about rights, could be considered benefits? Might be considered benefits but it's more about union rights. Could keep as part of benefits? It's not exactly a benefit like health insurance. Might be considered part of benefits but it's more about employee rights. The instruction says include Benefits section only if posting actually states them. It does state benefits list, so we keep benefits. The union part maybe could be considered part of benefits but it's not a typical benefit. However it's still substantive info about employment. We could include it under Benefits as a bullet.
We must not include "Equal Opportunity" etc. So remove that.
Now let's extract substantive content:
