We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also we should not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc as headings; fold minor metadata into short

or drop it. We need to extract relevant content: Working Title, Job Class, Agency, Location, Telework Eligible, Full/Part Time, Regular/Temporary, Who May Apply, Date Posted, Closing Date, Hiring Agency/Seniority Unit, Division/Unit, Work Shift/Work Hours, Days of Work, Travel Required, Salary Range, Classified Status, Bargaining Unit/Union, FLSA Status, Designated in Connect 700 Program for Applicants with Disabilities. But many of these are metadata; we can put them in a short

maybe under a heading like "Position Details". However the instruction says use headings only for the listed section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings? It says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings for sections; we could also have other headings? Probably better to stick to those. We can embed metadata in a

before sections. We must include Pay section only if posting actually states them. Yes salary range given: $22.79 - $31.43 / hourly; $47,585 - $65,625 / annually. So we need a Pay section with that. Schedule: Work Shift/Work Hours: Evening Shift/12:00pm - 8:00pm; Days of Work: Rotating. So we can include Schedule section. Benefits: The posting includes a Benefits section later describing benefits: Paid vacation and sick leave, 12 paid holidays, low-cost medical etc. So we need Benefits section. About the role: There's a paragraph: "The work you'll do is more than just a job..." and description of duties. Also later "This position provides guidance, instruction and direction to incarcerated workers..." That's responsibilities. We need to separate About the role (maybe overview) and Responsibilities (list). We'll create About the role with prose summarizing the role's purpose. Responsibilities with

  • list of duties. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications etc. We'll have Requirements section with list. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications maybe separate? The instruction includes Qualifications as a heading; we can put both minimum and preferred under Qualifications? But we also have Requirements heading. Might treat Requirements as minimum qualifications, Qualifications as preferred. Or combine. We'll follow typical: Requirements = minimum qualifications; Qualifications = preferred qualifications. Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; we could omit if no specific skills. But we have some like ability to read/write/communicate, physical ability, etc. Those could be under Requirements. Skills maybe not needed. We must not create sections with filler. So we will include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info. Let's extract content: About the role: The work you'll do is more than just a job. At the State of Minnesota, employees play a critical role in developing policies, providing essential services, and working to improve the well-being and quality of life for all Minnesotans. The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, and invests in employees by providing benefits, support resources, and training and development opportunities. Have a passion for food and helping people? Start a career with excellent benefits and opportunity for advancement! Work dependable hours with a schedule that doesn't fluctuate! Retire early at the age of 55! Receive a pension when you retire! This position provides guidance, instruction and direction to incarcerated workers in the preparation, presentation, handling, serving and clean-up of daily meals in the food services area to ensure facility meals provided meet quality and nutrition standards and service timelines. Responsible to monitor and adhere to safety and sanitation standards within the food services area, while maintaining a secure environment. This position has direct contact with incarcerated individuals That's a mix of overview and responsibilities. We'll split: About the role: first sentences up to "Have a passion for food..." maybe. Responsibilities: the bullet list of duties. Let's pull responsibilities: - Provide guidance, instruction and direction to incarcerated workers in the preparation, presentation, handling, serving and clean-up of daily meals in the food services area. - Ensure facility meals meet quality and nutrition standards and service timelines. - Monitor and adhere to safety and sanitation standards within the food services area. - Maintain a secure environment. - Direct contact with incarcerated individuals. We could also include other duties like maybe "Work dependable hours with a schedule that doesn't fluctuate!" but that's more about schedule. Now Minimum Qualifications (Requirements): - Applicants must be at least 18 years old and able to pass a criminal history check. - Must be able to read, write, and communicate verbally in English. - Must be able to stand, walk, bend, carry, push, and handle items the majority of shift. - Meet one of the following: - Nine months of full-time food production experience in a high-volume cafeteria, school, hospital, fast food, restaurant, catering, etc. - Six months of full-time experience performing cooking and food preparation in a correctional or secured environment. - Completion of a full-time vocational/technical school program in commercial cooking or commercial food preparation. Also Required Training: Applicants who do not possess a ServSafe Food Manager Certification (or equivalent) at the time of appointment must obtain certification as a requirement to successfully pass the required probation. We could include that under Requirements as well. Preferred Qualifications (Qualifications): - High School Diploma or GED. - Valid Driver’s License. - Experience working in a correctional or secured environment. - Experience directing the work of others sufficient to direct incarcerated workers. - Experience directing the work of others in a large food service setting. - Two or more years of work experience in a large restaurant, cafeteria, school, hospital, or equivalent experience in large volume cooking and food preparation. - Knowledge of food values, nutrition, and therapeutic diets. - Bilingual in a Spanish, Asian, or African dialect. Physical Requirements: The selected finalist is required to review and sign a Physical Demands Analysis (PDA) for this position and may be required to complete a tuberculosis screening prior to hire. For a copy of the PDA, please email Tiffany Werner at tiffany.werner@state.mn.us Additional Requirements: screening criminal history, predatory offender registration, etc. Might be part of Requirements but we can include as note. But we should not include application instructions, contact info, etc. However we may keep contact for PDA? That's maybe considered boilerplate? It's specific info about PDA; but it's a request to email for copy. Might be considered administrative; but it's substantive? Might be okay to include as a note under Requirements or Physical Requirements. However instruction says remove duplicated lines, application instructions. This is not exactly application instruction but a request for PDA copy. Might be considered minor metadata; we could drop it. Safer to omit. We also have "Designated in Connect 700 Program for Applicants with Disabilities: Yes" - could be included in a short paragraph under About the role or a separate note. But we have no heading for that; we could fold into a

    after About the role. We also have "Work Shift/Work Hours: Evening Shift/12:00pm - 8:00pm" and "Days of Work: Rotating". We'll put in Schedule section. Pay section: Salary Range: $22.79 - $31.43 / hourly; $47,585 - $65,625 / annually. Benefits section: list from Benefits paragraph. Let's extract benefits list: - Paid vacation and sick leave - 12 paid holidays each year - Low-cost medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug plans - Fertility care, including IVF - Diabetes care - Dental and orthodontic care for adults and children - 6 weeks paid leave for parents of newborn or newly adopted children - Pension plan that provides income when you retire (after working at least three years) - Employer paid life insurance to provide support for your family in the event of death - Short-term and long-term disability insurance that can provide income if you are unable to work due to illness or injury - Tax-free expense accounts for health, dental, and dependent care - Resources that provide support and promote physical, emotional, social, and financial well-being Also there are resources under Support To Help You Reach Your Career Goals: Training, classes, and professional development; Federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program; Employee Assistance Program (EAP); Daily Living/Convenience Services: Chore services, home repair, trip planning, child/elder care; Programs, resources and benefits eligibility varies based on type of employment, agency, funding availability, union/collective bargaining agreement, location, and length of service with the State of Minnesota. We could include those as part of Benefits or maybe as a separate "Resources" but not in allowed headings. Could include under Benefits as additional bullet points. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to preserve all substantive info. That's a lot; we can include them as bullet points under Benefits. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, etc. At the end there is a large EEO block; we must remove that. Also remove "How To Apply", "Contact", "About Corrections Dept" maybe? The "About Corrections Dept" is descriptive of agency; could be considered part of About the role? But it's more about the department. Might be considered boilerplate? It's substantive about agency but not about the role. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About Corrections Dept" is not exactly those; it's descriptive of agency. Could be considered part of About the role? Might be okay to keep as a short paragraph under About the role? However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could incorporate that into About the role as additional context. But we already have About the role covering the work; we could add a sentence about the agency. Let's decide to include a brief note about agency under About the role: "The Minnesota Department of Corrections works to transform lives for a safer Minnesota..." etc. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll structure:

    Position details: Working Title: Food Service Lead; Job Class: Cook Coordinator; Agency: Corrections Dept; Location: Shakopee; Telework Eligible: No; Full/Part Time: Full-Time; Regular/Temporary: Unlimited; Who May Apply: Open to all qualified job seekers; Date Posted: 09/26/2026; Closing Date: 10/02/2026; Hiring Agency/Seniority Unit: Department of Corrections; Division/Unit: Minnesota Correctional Facility (MCF) Shakopee; Work Shift/Work Hours: Evening Shift/12:00pm - 8:00pm; Days of Work: Rotating; Travel Required: No; Salary Range: $22.79 - $31.43 / hourly; $47,5
