for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
2. Use - for lists of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose
3. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)
4. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it
5. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail
6. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions
7. Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text
8. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them
9. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones
10. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences
Let me analyze the job posting:
- Job title: Electronic Security Systems Specialist 2 (implied from the overview)
- State of Tennessee job
- Opening/Closing dates
- Salary information (monthly and annually)
- Job type: Full-Time
- Location: Tiptonville, TN
- Department: Correction
- MVR screening and criminal background check mentioned
- Qualifications section with education/experience requirements and substitutions
- Overview section describing the role
- Responsibilities section with detailed duties
- Competencies (KSA's) section with competencies, knowledges, skills, abilities, tools & equipment
I need to structure this into appropriate sections. Let me map:
- Overview -> "About the role" (h3)
- Responsibilities -> "Responsibilities" (h3)
- Qualifications -> "Qualifications" (h3) - includes education/experience and special qualifications
- Competencies (KSA's) -> "Skills" (h3) or maybe "Competencies" but the rule says use "Skills" as heading
- Salary information -> "Pay" (h3) since it's specified
- Job type, location, department, dates -> could be folded into a short
or maybe "Schedule" but schedule usually means work schedule. The posting has "Job Type Full-Time" and dates. I'll include a brief metadata paragraph at the top or in a "Details" section? The rules say fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. I'll include a short paragraph with key metadata: location, job type, department, opening/closing dates, salary.
But the rule says: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So I should include a short paragraph with metadata.
Also, the salary is given, so I should include a Pay section.
The posting doesn't have explicit Benefits or Schedule sections (beyond full-time). So I won't create those.
Now, I need to output only HTML fragment.
Let me structure:
1. Short metadata paragraph (maybe at top)
2. About the role (from Overview)
3. Responsibilities (list)
4. Qualifications (list of requirements, substitutions, special qualifications)
5. Skills (from Competencies KSA's) - but the competencies include multiple categories: Competencies, Knowledges, Skills, Abilities, Tools & Equipment. I'll make a Skills section with sub-lists? The rule says use
- for any list. I could create a single Skills section with multiple sub-lists, but the heading is
for section headings. I could do one Skills section with multiple unordered lists, each with a label? But the rule says use for section headings like "Skills". I think I'll create a "Skills" section and include all the competencies, knowledges, skills, abilities, tools as lists. Maybe use labels within the list items? Or separate lists with headings? But only allowed for section headings. I could use ? Not specified. The rule says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use for those. I'll keep it simple: one Skills section with multiple lists, each preceded by a bold label in a paragraph or as a list item? Better to use for each category.
I'll do:
Skills
Competencies:
- Tech Savvy
... etc.
But the rule says use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So I can have a paragraph for the label, then a list.
Alternatively, I could make each category a separate list with a heading? But only
for section headings. I'll stick to one Skills section with multiple lists.
Now, let's write the HTML.
First, metadata paragraph:
