We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each heading. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting. The posting includes: - Summary: location, supervision, description of janitorial and custodial services. - Qualifications: details about experience, no specific length required, evidence needed, screen-out element, volunteer work credit, etc. - Duties: long list of tasks. - Work Schedule: Multiple shifts available, Days may vary. - Position Description Title/PD#: Environmental Services (EVS) Technician/PD99909-S - Relocation/Recruitment Incentives: Not Authorized - Working Conditions: description. We need to map to sections. About the role: could be summary description. Responsibilities: duties list. Requirements/Qualifications: qualifications section. Skills: maybe not explicit; we could infer from duties but better not to create if not explicit. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. There's no explicit Skills list, so we should omit Skills. Benefits: posting says Relocation/Recruitment Incentives: Not Authorized. That's not a benefit; it's a statement that none. Should we include Benefits? The instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It states "Not Authorized" which is a statement about benefits (none). Is that considered stating them? It says relocation/recruitment incentives not authorized. That's not a benefit like health insurance, etc. Probably we should not create Benefits section because there's no actual benefit described. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It states Relocation/Recruitment Incentives: Not Authorized. That's a statement about incentives, not benefits. Might be considered a benefit? Safer to omit Benefits. Pay: not mentioned. So omit Pay. Schedule: posting includes "Work Schedule: Multiple shifts available Days may vary". That's specific content. So include Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements/Qualifications (qualifications), Schedule (work schedule). Possibly also Working Conditions? Not in list of allowed headings; we could fold into About the role or Responsibilities? The allowed headings are limited to those eight. We cannot add extra headings. So we need to incorporate working conditions into existing sections, maybe About the role or Responsibilities. The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should use those headings. Likely we should only use those headings. So we need to map content to those headings. Working conditions could go under About the role or Responsibilities. Probably About the role includes location, supervision, working conditions. We'll include working conditions details in About the role paragraph. Thus:

About the role

... summary plus working conditions.

Responsibilities

  • ... each duty as list items.

Requirements

or

Qualifications

? Both are allowed. We need to decide which to use. The posting has qualifications section. Could use Qualifications. But we also have Requirements heading allowed. Which is more appropriate? The posting says "Qualifications". Use

Qualifications

. Could also include Requirements but we should avoid duplicate thin sections. Use Qualifications. Thus:

Qualifications

... qualification text.

Schedule

Multiple shifts available. Days may vary.

We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We must preserve all substantive information. Need to include details from qualifications: experience not required, evidence needed, screen-out element, volunteer work credit, note about full year, part-time credit, etc. We need to include duties list exactly as given, but we can break into list items. Must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to capture all duties listed. That's a long list; we need to include each bullet as
  • . Ensure we keep the semantics. Let's extract duties paragraph: "Duties The EVS Technician executes a full range of housekeeping activities in patient and non-patient care areasThe position may be assigned to any tour and may be required to work in various designated areas during any tour of dutyTypically - the position works independently with general supervision - or works with a team and is responsible for the full-range of cleaning duties in an assigned area throughout the medical facilityThese duties include - but are limited to the following: Performs floor maintenance - wall washingCleans doors - doorframes - baseboard corners and edges - and stairwellsTasks are accomplished by sweeping - dust mopping - damp and wet mopping - scrubbing - stripping - refinishing - buffing - vacuuming and extracting carpets and runners - spot cleaning areas - and high and low dustingPeriodically utilizes pressure washers and heavy industrial powered and battery operated equipment the above taskAdjusts - cleans - and performs minor maintenance on this equipment and changes attachments for their proper use in achieving the best resultsEmpties trash and wastebaskets - replaces linersTransports general refuse - regulated medical waste and recycling to central collection areas Cleans rest rooms - bathrooms - and shower rooms - ensuring that they are cleaned and meet acceptable standards (cleans - disinfects - and deodorizes lavatories - showers - bathtubs - urinals - and toilet bowlscleans mirrors - sinks - and water fountainswashes and polishes light and toilet fixtures)Replenishes supplies of paper towels - toilet paper - hand sanitizers - and soap in all areas where dispensers are locatedMoves and arranges furniture - patient wardrobes - beds - etcin the assigned area to accomplish cleaning tasksProvides bed-making services in patient care areas and OD roomscleans mattresses - springs - and bed framesand cleans bedside stands - over bed lights - blood pressure cuffs - bed tables - etcin patient roomsRemoves bags of soiled textiles from patient rooms and transports to the designated soiled room in each ward areaLoads and unloads clean textiles from bulk cartsRestocks clean textile closets - cabinets - shelves - carts - and participates in inventory management activitiesDefrosts and cleans patient care refrigerators and ice machines in nourishment kitchen areascleans stainless steel on storage instrument cabinets and counters - elevators in lobbies - wards - diet-kitchens and nurse utility roomsand cleans ashtrays - smoke stands - sand urns in designated smoke areas and water fountainsProvides interim cleaning of windows and window ledges from the inside - cleans glass door and other glass surfacesand replaces curtains and cleans blindsCleans and/or replaces needle boxesPeriodically cleans specific non-critical Reusable Medical Equipment (RME) in inpatient and clinical areas of the medical centerAdditionally - the position may work with and provide guidance to a Compensated Work Therapy (CWT) worker - and perform other duties as assigned" We need to split into sensible list items.
