Financial Analyst

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description. We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc). Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to include sections: maybe About the role (General Job Description), Responsibilities (Essential Job Functions), Requirements (Licensure, Certification Or Registration Required, Knowledge, Skills And Abilities Required, Additional Information, Initial Screening Criteria), Skills (maybe part of Knowledge, Skills), Benefits (Employee Benefits), Pay (Salary Range, Pay Frequency), Schedule (Shift, Telework, Travel, etc). Also maybe Qualifications (Education/Experience). We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

for each heading, then content:

for prose,

• for lists. We must not repeat job title as heading. Job Title is Financial Analyst III but we shouldn't put heading for it. We need to include metadata like Date, Location, Posting Number, Closing Date etc maybe as short

  under About the role? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph with Date, Location, Posting Number, Closing Date. We must preserve all substantive information: So include salary range, pay frequency, shift, telework, travel, regular/temporary, full time, FLSA, facility location, etc. We need to avoid duplication: The posting repeats some lines like "Salary offered will follow DSHS starting salary guidelines." appears twice; we should include once. We need to remove boilerplate like "DSHS is committed to hiring skilled and dedicated individuals..." maybe keep as part of About the role? It's substantive? It's generic but maybe keep as part of About the role. It's not boilerplate like EEO; it's mission statement. Could keep. We need to remove "Review our Top 10 Tips for Success when Applying to State of Texas Jobs." That's application instruction? Might be considered boilerplate; we can drop. Also remove "Additional Information Must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship." That's substantive (work eligibility). Keep. Also remove "Applicants invited to an interview will be administered a skills test as part of the interview process." That's application instruction? Might be considered part of selection process; maybe keep as part of Requirements? It's about interview process; could be considered application instruction. The instruction says remove application instructions. So drop that. Also remove "Initial Screening Criteria" maybe keep as Requirements. Also remove "Active Duty, Military..." maybe keep as part of Requirements? It's about veterans encouragement; could be considered EEO? Might be boilerplate but it's specific to veterans; maybe keep as part of Requirements? It's not EEO but encouraging veterans; could be considered EEO. Safer to drop? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. That includes EEO. So drop the veteran encouragement paragraph. Also remove "ADA Accommodations" maybe legal; drop. Also remove "Salary Information, Pre-employment Checks, And Work Eligibility" maybe partly legal; but some parts like "The salary offered will follow DSHS starting salary guidelines." duplicate; we already have salary. "Any employment offer is contingent upon available budgeted funds." maybe legal; could drop. "Depending on the program area and position requirements, applicants selected for hire may be required to pass background and other due diligence checks." legal; drop. "DSHS uses E-Verify. You must bring your I-9 documentation..." legal; drop. Thus keep substantive: General Job Description, Essential Job Functions (broken into percentages), Licensure/Certification, Knowledge, Skills And Abilities Required, Additional Information (work eligibility, travel, schedule), Initial Screening Criteria (experience, education), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to avoid duplication: The Essential Job Functions have percentages and bullet-like sentences. We can turn each percentage block into a

  • . Or we can keep as prose. Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should list each duty as
    • . The percentages maybe keep inside li. We need to preserve all substantive information: include the percentages? Might be considered detail; we can keep them inside li. Now craft HTML. Structure:
