Also there is "About Health Department" paragraph. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe the introductory paragraph about mission). Responsibilities (the duties). Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications). Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications). Skills (maybe from Preferred Qualifications like interpersonal, communication, teamwork, prioritize, critical thinking). Benefits (the benefits list). Pay (salary range). Schedule (hours/telework etc). We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content for Pay (salary range). Schedule: we have part-time 20 hours per week, flexible within 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. M-F, occasional evening/weekend work, telework up to 50% etc. That's specific enough. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting that are substantive, but we can combine into sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have

Foodborne Diseases Student Worker

. We'll start with maybe

About the role

containing the introductory paragraph about mission and the work you'll do? Actually "About the role" could contain the description of the role and mission. But we also have separate Responsibilities. Might be okay to put mission in About the role, and responsibilities separate. We need to ensure we don't miss any substantive info: location, telework eligibility, part-time, hours, temporary end date, etc. Those could go under Schedule or maybe a separate section like "Details". But we only allowed headings from list. Could put location and telework under Schedule? Or maybe under About the role? Better to create a section "Schedule" for hours, telework, etc. Could also include location there? Not typical but we can include location in About the role? The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those headings only if we have content. We can also include other info like location under About the role or Schedule. We'll decide. Let's extract substantive content blocks: - About the role / mission: "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. Join our team of Student Workers within the Infectious Disease Epidemiology, Prevention & Control (IDEPC) Division as a key part of the statewide public health system, dedicated to MDH’s mission: protecting, maintaining and improving the health of all Minnesotans." That's good for About the role. - Responsibilities: "As a Foodborne Diseases Student Worker, you will conduct surveillance activities for Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter, Escherichia coli O157:H7 infections, other Shiga toxin-producing E. coli infections, and other reportable diseases. Additionally, will assist in epidemiological investigations of outbreaks of communicable disease, participate in data collection through structured telephone interviews and provide data management in epidemiological studies to describe illness and sequelae and identify risk factors for enteric infections" Also mention that this vacancy will fill two positions, part-time 20 hrs/week, flexible hours 8am-4:30pm M-F occasional evening/weekend, temporary until Sep 1 2028 or until completion of educational program. Telework eligibility details. We could put the schedule details under Schedule: part-time 20 hrs/week, flexible within 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. M-F, occasional evening/weekend work, temporary until Sep 1 2028, telework up to 50% for those living in MN or bordering state within 50 miles, relocation requirement, etc. - Requirements (Minimum Qualifications): list: * Completion of two years of post-secondary education in Epidemiology, Environmental Health or related public health field. * Student Worker Eligibility: enrolled in post-secondary or graduate program or plan to enroll within three months; can be off for summer or one semester/quarter but not exceed one semester/quarter per year; if credit-granting institution must carry at least six semester/nine quarter credits; if non-credit granting or one credit per class must take two or more classes per semester/quarter; lesser load treated as semester/quarter off; graduate students must be enrolled in at least two courses or making progress on a dissertation. * Will be asked to complete an Educational Verification form prior to appointment. We need to preserve all detail; we can put as
  • items. - Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications): list: * Able to make a 1 to 2 year commitment * Currently accepted or enrolled in a degree-seeking graduate program in Epidemiology, Environmental Health or related public health field, with career goals in applied infectious disease epidemiology * Ability to develop and maintain effective interpersonal relations with co-workers, supervisors, and health care professionals * Ability to communicate effectively, orally and in writing with members of the public and health care professionals * Ability to work collaboratively as part of a team * Ability to prioritize tasks, manage time, adapt to change, collect and enter data * Critical thinking skills and judgement - Skills: Could be overlapping with Preferred Qualifications; but we could separate skills like interpersonal, communication, teamwork, prioritization, time management, adaptability, data collection/entry, critical thinking. However the instructions say prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine Skills into Qualifications or Responsibilities. But we have separate headings allowed; we need to decide if we have enough content for Skills separate from Qualifications. The Preferred Qualifications already include abilities that could be considered skills. We could treat Qualifications as minimum qualifications, Skills as preferred qualifications/abilities. That seems reasonable. Thus: - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications. - Skills: Preferred Qualifications (abilities). - Qualifications: maybe we could rename? Actually we already used Requirements for min quals, Skills for preferred quals. Then we might not need a separate Qualifications heading. But we have to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We could omit Qualifications if we covered its content elsewhere. However the posting also mentions "Preferred Qualifications" which we treat as Skills. That's fine. But we also have "Additional Requirements" (background check, reference check, no E-Verify, legal authorization). That could go under Requirements as well (maybe as additional
