Employment Specialist

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have "About Swords to Plowshares" description. Should we treat that as "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content accordingly. We have: - About Swords to Plowshares (organization description) -> could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is about the job, not organization. But we have no explicit "About the role". However we have a summary paragraph describing the role. That could serve as "About the role". The organization description could be omitted? 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." We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include organization description somewhere. Could be placed under a heading like "About the organization"? Not in allowed list. But we could embed it in a

before sections, as it's not a 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 says use those for section headings. Probably we should only use those headings when we have content. We could have a

for the organization overview, then

About the role

with summary, then

Responsibilities

with list, then

Qualifications

(or Requirements) with desired qualifications, then

Skills

maybe separate? The posting includes "Desired Qualifications:" list, also includes "Education:" etc. Could combine Qualifications and Skills. But we need to follow instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Schedule. Pay is given: Salary Range: $31.90 per hour. So we need a Pay section. Schedule: Monday through Friday 9 am-5 pm, Reporting Type: 4 days in office, 1 day from home- after 90 days. So schedule info. We need to omit boilerplate: EEO, organizational values statement, etc. Also remove navigation/legal etc. Also remove "To learn more about Swords to Plowshares, please visit our website at www.swords-to-plowshares.org." That's maybe okay to keep? It's not boilerplate but it's a link; could be considered minor metadata. Might keep as part of About the organization paragraph. We need to preserve all substantive information: organization description, job summary, responsibilities list, desired qualifications list, education, benefits list, schedule, pay, reporting type, employment type (Non-exempt, Full-time). Also location. We need to not repeat job title as heading. So we won't put

Employment Specialist

. We'll keep job title maybe in a

before sections? The instruction: fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Job title is not minor? It's already shown on page, so we can drop it. So we won't include job title. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft:

Location: 330 Franklin Street, Oakland

Employment Type: Non-exempt, Full-time

Reporting Type: 4 days in office, 1 day from home (after 90 days)

Schedule: Monday through Friday, 9 am–5 pm

Pay: $31.90 per hour

Then About the role: we have summary paragraph: "The Employment Specialist recruits, enrolls and provided job placement assistance to each veteran. The Employment Specialist provides supportive services, develops recruitment and implementation plans, and performs community and some employment outreach throughout the San Francisco and East Bay Area. The Employment Specialist provides assessments, case management, information and referral, and job counseling to assist veterans reintegrating into the civilian workforce. Employment Specialists coordinates with employers for job placement and/or occupational training programs in accordance with contract goals. Employment Specialist will host employer spotlights and assist with workshops, maintain relationships with community-based organizations, employers, assist Program Managers with special projects." We'll put that in

About the role

...

Then Responsibilities: list bullet points. Then Qualifications: we have Desired Qualifications list plus Education. Could combine into Qualifications section. We could also have Skills section separate but we prefer few sections. So Qualifications will include experience, knowledge, abilities, education. We need to preserve all specifics: "Five (4-5) years of experience providing vocational and/or pre-employment counseling and case management in a multi-service setting", "Translatable military experience and skills may be alternatively substituted", "Knowledge of federal and state government employment programs a plus", "Ability to meet multiple deadlines while maintaining a professional composure", "Extremely tactful and diplomatic when dealing with people", "Ability to articulate and facilitate presentations in a public speaking forum", "Ability to work independently and as part of a team, and interact well with people from diverse economic, ethnic and educational backgrounds", "Ability to sit for prolonged periods", "Ability to prioritize and complete multiple tasks", "Ability to travel within the San Francisco Bay area and perform case management and outreach functions at various sites and provide proof of auto insurance", "Employee must be able to perform all functions of this position within what would be deemed reasonable accommodations", "Fluency in English and ability to effectively read, write, and communicate in English with staff, clients, and external partners and stakeholders.", "Excellent written and oral communication skills", "Excellent organizational and time management skills", "Proactive, detail-oriented, reliable, exercises good judgment", "Basic computer skills with proficiency in Microsoft Office", "Education: Bachelor’s degree in social work or behavioral sciences Equivalent combination of college course work and experience". We'll put those as

. Benefits: we have a comprehensive list. We'll put under

Benefits

...

. We need to exclude the note about employees working less than 20 hours etc? That's part of benefits description; we should keep it as it's substantive. So include that as a list item maybe. We'll also need to exclude the organizational values statement and EEO etc. Let's craft HTML. Be careful to escape any special characters? Not needed. We'll produce:
