We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - Position Information: description of role, duties, etc. This is about the role. Could be "About the role". We'll include a

About the role

with paragraphs summarizing the description. - Duties: there is a long list under "Examples of Duties Responsibilities May Include, But Are Not Limited To" with subcategories: Executive & Administrative Support, Municipal & Legal Support, Communication & Public Service, Team Leadership. Those are responsibilities. So we can have

Responsibilities

with
  • items. - Qualifications: there is a "Qualifications" section with Education, Experience, Special Requirements, Knowledge Of, Ability To. So we can have

    Qualifications

    with maybe subpoints? But we need to use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can list each qualification as
    • . Could also separate Education, Experience etc but still list items. - Skills: there is a list of desired attributes: Discreet, Highly organized, Proactive, Diplomatic, Detail-oriented with proofreading, Adaptable, Independent, Service-oriented, Experienced, Technical, Superb written and verbal communication. Also mention "Skills in marketing and outreach is desirable." So we can have

      • . - Benefits: there is a paragraph: "Benefits for regular employees include CALPERS retirement, medical/dental insurance, paid life insurance, retirement health saving account, deferred compensation plan with employer match, paid time off, incentive pay, tuition reimbursement, wellness activities, employee assistance program, and employee development courses." So we can have

        Benefits

        with
        • . - Pay: Not mentioned. No salary. So we should NOT include Pay section. - Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly, though mentions may require evening and weekend work, attendance at meetings before/after normal business hours. That's schedule info. Could we treat that as Schedule? The rule: include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does mention may require evening and weekend work and attendance at meetings before or after normal business hours. That's schedule info. So we can include

          Schedule

          with a

          describing that. - About the role: we already have. We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include duplicated lines. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can condense into prose or list items, but must not invent or summarize away detail. However we can combine similar items? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That suggests we should not omit any detail. But we can rephrase? Probably we need to keep the info but can be concise as long as we don't lose detail. Hard to know. Safer to keep bullet points that capture each distinct piece. Let's extract details: From Position Information paragraph: - City of Pittsburg, CA seeking experienced, highly organized, exceptionally discreet Executive Assistant to provide high-level administrative, executive, and legal support to City Attorney's and City Manager's Offices. - Manage sensitive information, coordinate complex schedules and communications, prepare and process important City documents, support legal and administrative matters, interact regularly with elected officials, government representatives, employees, community organizations, public. - Provide administrative support to City Attorney's Office and City Manager's Office. - Ideal candidate brings sound judgment, diplomacy, initiative, exceptional attention to detail. - Trusted to recognize priorities, anticipate needs, protect confidential information, independently move work forward with limited day-to-day direction. - Duties include assisting with office coordination, managing correspondence, maintaining detailed files, assisting in maintaining and preparing contracts, resolutions, ordinances, staff reports, court pleadings; conducting legal research with high degree of accuracy, tact, initiative. - Experienced individual with attention to detail, exceptional customer service skills, strong office and computer skills desired. - No two weeks exactly alike; priorities can change quickly based on City Council business, legal deadlines, public inquiries, emerging issues, requests from City leadership. - Throughout week, incumbent can expect shifting priorities, urgent requests, opportunities to exercise independent judgment. - Ability to remain calm, organized, professional, responsive essential. - Position may require evening and weekend work and attendance at meetings before or after normal business hours, depending on City business and operational needs. - Person appointed is an "at-will" employee.
