We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Title: Election Clerk (but we don't repeat as heading) - The Position: continuous filing exam, cut-offs dates: 8/3/26, 8/24/26, 9/13/26 (final). That's metadata; we can put in a short

maybe under About the role? Not a heading. - Under close supervision, Election Clerks perform a variety of routine administrative support tasks related to the registration of voters and administration of elections. All Election Clerk positions are temporary intermittent positions, limited to 1560 hours per year. May be assigned to full-time and/or part-time hours, not to exceed 1560 hours worked. - Examples Of Knowledge And Abilities: Knowledge Of: list; Ability To: list. - Employment Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications: six months of full-time paid or volunteer experience including customer relations, data entry, giving and receiving information on a daily basis, and/or general recordkeeping. Note about experience. - General Qualifications: Criminal History and Background Checks details; License Requirement: valid California Driver License, Class C or higher may be required; Forklift Certification: some positions require; Selective Certification: ability to speak, read, write and/or translate in a language other than standard English; Physical Requirements: lift up to 50 pounds; Working Conditions: work weekends, holidays, non-routine hours during peak operating times; irregular hours and extended shifts during election cycles; Probationary Period: none. - Application and Testing Information: details about application process, cut-off dates, etc. We need to remove boilerplate like application instructions, but we can keep cut-off dates? The instruction says: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include cut-off dates in a short paragraph. - Also we need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should strip out the long application instructions, supplemental questionnaire, formula rate exam, FAQs, EEO statement, accommodation info. Keep only substantive job description: duties, knowledge, abilities, qualifications, requirements, etc. Thus sections: - About the role: could include description of role, temporary intermittent, hours limit, cut-off dates maybe. - Responsibilities: list of duties: perform routine administrative support tasks related to voter registration and election administration; file documents; operate office equipment; read and compare signatures; understand and explain policy; follow instructions; communicate; develop relationships; etc. Could be derived from Knowledge and Abilities. - Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications (experience) plus License Requirement, Forklift Certification, Language ability, Physical lift, Background check, etc. - Qualifications: maybe Education? Not specified. Could combine with Requirements. - Skills: list of knowledge and abilities: office procedures, file maintenance, warehouse safety, basic math, English usage, etc.; ability to read signatures, file documents, operate equipment, explain policy, follow instructions, communicate English, develop relationships, etc. - Benefits: Not mentioned. So omit. - Pay: Not mentioned. Omit. - Schedule: mention work weekends, holidays, non-routine hours, irregular hours, extended shifts during election cycles. That's schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section. Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Schedule. Possibly also Qualifications if we separate experience vs skills. But we can combine. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no
