We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, duplicate lines, application instructions, EEO etc. Also need to include Pay and Schedule only if stated. Let's extract content: - Initial Posting Date, Application Deadline, Agency, Department, Salary Range, Position Type, Position Title: these are metadata; we should fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Probably we can include a short paragraph with posting date, deadline, agency, position type, salary range. - Job Description: includes equal opportunity statement (boilerplate) - remove. Then "Opportunity awaits! Discover a rewarding path where you support your community and grow your career." That's prose, keep. - Then description of OEP, summary of duties: we can put under Responsibilities. - "As An Eligibility Worker, You Will ..." list of duties: bullet list. - Minimum Qualifications: list. - Essential Attributes: list of experience/skills. - Working Conditions: includes schedule (professional business hours Monday-Friday), location, etc. So we can have Schedule section (maybe include work schedule) and maybe Working Conditions as part of Responsibilities? But we have a Schedule heading if we have content: "Your work schedule will be professional business hours, Monday – Friday." That's specific. Also location: in-office at SE Malden Street ODHS office. Could be part of Working Conditions but not a heading; we could include in a paragraph under Responsibilities or a separate section like "Work Environment". But only allowed headings are those listed; we could put schedule under Schedule heading, and maybe other working conditions under Responsibilities or Benefits? Probably better to put schedule under Schedule, and maybe mention location in a paragraph under Responsibilities or a separate "About the role". However we need to avoid filler. - Background Checks And Requirements: could be part of Requirements? Might be considered Requirements. But we can include under Requirements. - Benefits: list bullet points. - Employment Preference Veterans’...: could be part of Benefits or Requirements? Might be under Benefits? It's a preference; maybe include under Benefits? But it's not a benefit; maybe under Requirements? Could be under "Qualifications"? Probably better to include under Benefits as a note? But it's not a benefit; maybe under "About the role"? Might be considered extra info; we could include under Benefits as a bullet? But it's not a benefit. Could be under "Requirements"? It's a preference, not a requirement. Could be omitted? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep that info somewhere. Could put under a section "About the role" or "Additional Information". But only allowed headings are those listed; we could put under "About the role" as a paragraph. - General Information: permanent full-time, represented by SEIU, recruitment may be used to fill future vacancies. Could be under About the role. - Contact Information: we should drop application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. Contact info is maybe considered application instructions? It says "Contact Information We invite you to contact the recruiter...". That's likely application instructions; we should remove. Thus we need to produce HTML with sections: -

About the role

: paragraph summarizing OEP, mission, opportunity statement. -

Responsibilities

:
  • ... duties list. -

    Requirements

    : maybe combine Minimum Qualifications and Essential Attributes and Background Checks? Could split into Qualifications and Skills. But we have headings Qualifications and Skills available. Use Qualifications for minimum qualifications, Skills for essential attributes. Background Checks maybe under Requirements? Could be under Qualifications? Might be better to have a separate section "Requirements" for background checks etc. But we have only those headings; we could use "Requirements" for background checks and maybe other requirements like schedule? But schedule is separate. Let's decide: -

    Qualifications

    : Minimum Qualifications list. -

    Skills

    : Essential Attributes list. -

    Benefits

    : Benefits list. -

    Pay

    : Salary range. -

    Schedule

    : Work schedule Monday-Friday. We also need to include location maybe in About the role or Responsibilities? Could add a paragraph under About the role: "Position is located at the SE Malden Street ODHS office in Oregon." Also include posting date, deadline, agency, position type maybe in a short paragraph at top (not a heading). The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." So we can include a short

    with posting date, deadline, agency, position type. Now ensure we don't include boilerplate: equal opportunity statement, EEO, etc. Remove "We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc. Also remove "Opportunity awaits! Discover a rewarding path where you support your community and grow your career." That's not boilerplate; keep. Remove "Attention all candidates! Your resume (optional) and cover letter (optional) may be uploaded..." etc. That's application instructions; remove. Remove "Background Checks And Requirements" details? We need to keep substance: criminal history background check, I-9, E-Verify, driver's license maybe. That's substantive. Could include under Requirements or maybe under Qualifications? Let's put under Requirements heading? But we already used Qualifications and Skills. Could add another heading "Requirements" for background checks etc. However we have not used "Requirements" heading yet; we could use it for background checks and maybe other requirements like schedule? But schedule is separate. We have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use Requirements for background checks etc. Qualifications for minimum qualifications. Skills for essential attributes. That seems logical. Thus: -

    About the role

    : paragraph with OEP description, opportunity statement, location. -

    Responsibilities

    : ul of duties. -

    Requirements

    : ul of background check requirements, maybe also mention veterans preference? Actually veterans preference is a preference not a requirement; could be under Benefits? But we can put under Requirements as "Preference for veterans and Oregon National Guard members". Might be okay. -

    Qualifications

    : ul of minimum qualifications. -

    Skills

    : ul of essential attributes. -

    Benefits

    : ul of benefits list. -

    Pay

    : p with salary range. -

    Schedule

    : p with work schedule Monday-Friday. Now ensure we preserve all substantive info: Let's extract details.

Responsibilities: the bullet list of duties. Requirements: background check items, maybe also mention driver's license, I-9, E-Verify, no visa sponsorship, veterans preference?

We also need to include mention of Cost of Living Adjustments, annual salary increases, amazing benefits package, possible eligibility for PSLF, PERS increase note. Those are benefits.

Just fragment. Let's craft:

    Posted: 09/24/2026 | Deadline: 10/01/2026 | Agency: Department of Human Services | Position Type: Employee | Vacancies: 3
