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. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must only include sections when posting has real specific content. Let's parse the posting: - Advertisement Closes date: 9/25/2026 (11:59 PM ET) - maybe metadata, but we can include as short p? 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 closing date and maybe location? But location is also metadata. We can include location in a paragraph. - Pay Grade 14 Salary $50,000.00 Annually - that's Pay info, so we need a Pay section with that content. - Employment Type EXECUTIVE BRANCH | FULL TIME ELIGIBLE FOR OVERTIME PAY | 18A | 40.0 HR/WK - that's schedule info (hours per week) and employment type. Could be Schedule section (40.0 HR/WK) and maybe Benefits? Not given. - Hiring Agency Justice & Public Safety Cabinet | Kentucky State Police - could be part of About the role? Or maybe we can include in About the role paragraph. - Location 3600 Chamberlain Lane, Suite 410 Louisville, KY 40241 USA - location. - Description: paragraph about KSP. - Then description of Forensic Chemist roles. - Responsibilities: list. - Skills and Expectations: list. - Minimum Requirements: Education, Experience, etc. - Working Conditions: paragraph. - Probationary Period: paragraph. - Contact info: Julie Ferguson. - Equal Opportunity Employer line: we must remove EEO boilerplate. We need to decide sections: - About the role: could combine description of agency and role overview. Use

About the role

then

with description. - Responsibilities:

Responsibilities

then
  • ... items. - Requirements: maybe combine Minimum Requirements (Education, Experience) and Special Requirements? The posting says Minimum Requirements EDUCATION..., EXPERIENCE..., etc. Also SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: NONE. So we can have Requirements section with education and experience. - Qualifications: maybe not separate; but we have Skills and Expectations. Could treat Skills as Skills section. - Benefits: not mentioned; do not create. - Pay: we have Pay Grade and Salary. So

    Pay

    Pay Grade 14, Salary $50,000.00 Annually

    - Schedule: we have Employment Type: FULL TIME, ELIGIBLE FOR OVERTIME PAY, 40.0 HR/WK. So

    Schedule

    Full-time, 40 hours per week, eligible for overtime pay

    We might also include location and hiring agency in About the role or a separate meta paragraph. But we can include location and agency in About the role paragraph. We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is Forensic Chemist I; we must not use that as heading. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. So we drop 2604888. We must not include advertisement closes date as heading; we can include as short p maybe in About the role or separate meta. But instruction: fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph at top with closing date and location? But location is not minor? It's substantive. Could be part of About the role. Better: At top, a short p: "Application deadline: September 25, 2026, 11:59 PM ET." Then About the role section includes agency, location, description. Let's extract responsibilities list: "Responsibilities Include But Are Not Limited To The Following Analyzes unknown and known substances submitted by law enforcement agencies to determine properties and identity. Receives specialized training in designated forensic disciplines. Compiles and reviews laboratory reports regarding analysis of submitted evidence. Maintains review of work-related literature and other documents. Provides testimony throughout the Commonwealth pertaining to forensic analysis and reports. Receives and releases evidence and is responsible for the security of such evidence until released. Maintains laboratory instrumentation. Responds to crime scenes and other work-related special details." We'll turn each line into

  • . Skills and Expectations list: "Skills and Expectations include but are not limited to the following: Attention to detail. Strong written and verbal communication. Ability to multi-task. Strong problem solver." We'll make
    • . Minimum Requirements: "EDUCATION: Graduate of a college or university with a bachelor's degree in chemistry, forensic science, or a related science field. EXPERIENCE, TRAINING, OR SKILLS: NONE Substitute EDUCATION for EXPERIENCE: NONE Substitute EXPERIENCE for EDUCATION: NONE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS (AGE, LICENSURE, REGULATION, ETC.): NONE" We can summarize: Education: bachelor's degree in chemistry, forensic science, or related science field. No experience required. No substitutions. No special requirements. We'll put in Requirements section as
        maybe. Working Conditions paragraph: "Incumbents in this classification will typically perform their job duties in a forensic laboratory setting. May have some contact with contagious diseases and/or body fluids or regular exposure to noxious odors, chemical substances, and biohazardous compounds, which may require the following of safety procedures. Regular handling of sharp surgical instruments." Probationary Period: "This job has an initial and promotional probationary period of 12 months, except as provided in KRS 18A.111." Contact: "If you have questions about this advertisement, please contact Julie Ferguson at julie.ferguson@ky.gov." We can include contact in a short p after sections, maybe not a heading. We must not include EEO line. Now construct HTML. We'll start with a p for deadline. Then

        Then maybe a p for Working Conditions and Probationary Period and Contact. Could be separate sections? There's no heading for Working Conditions or Probationary Period in the list of allowed headings; but we could incorporate them into About the role or Requirements? But they are substantive. The instruction: Use

        for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not exclusive list. So we could add other headings like Working Conditions, Probationary Period if we want, but they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Working Conditions and Probationary Period into About the role or Requirements? Might be better to add a section "Working Conditions" as

        Working Conditions

        and another for "Probationary Period". But they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. However, we have many sections already; adding two more may be okay if they are substantive. But we could incorporate them into About the role (description of work environment) and Requirements (probation). However, probation is not exactly a requirement; it's a condition of employment. Could be part of About the role. Given the instruction to prefer few sections, maybe we keep only the sections we have: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Pay, Schedule. Then we can embed Working Conditions and Probationary Period and Contact into About the role paragraph as additional sentences. Let's do that: About the role paragraph will include agency description, location, work conditions, probation period, contact info. Thus we avoid many sections. Now ensure we preserve all substantive information: we must not lose any details. Let's list all substantive info from posting: - Advertisement Closes date. - Pay Grade 14 Salary $50,000.00 Annually. - Employment Type EXECUTIVE BRANCH | FULL TIME ELIGIBLE FOR OVERTIME PAY | 18A | 40.0 HR/WK. - Hiring Agency Justice & Public Safety Cabinet | Kentucky State Police. - Location. - Description of KSP. - Description of Forensic Chemist roles (Toxicology, Drug Chemistry, Trace Analysis). - Training program details. - After training, process casework under direction. - Responsibilities list (8 items). - Skills list (4 items). - Minimum Requirements: Education (bachelor's degree in chemistry, forensic science, or related science field). Experience: none. Substitutions: none. Special requirements: none. - Working Conditions paragraph. - Probationary Period. - Contact Julie Ferguson. - EEO line (to remove). We must preserve all substantive info; we can embed many into About the role. Let's craft About the role paragraph: "Kentucky State Police is the premier, full-service law enforcement agency in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, working to prevent, reduce, and deter crime, enhance highway safety, protect individual rights, and provide leadership, training, technical, and operational support to the criminal justice community. The Forensic Chemist I position may be assigned to Toxicology, Drug Chemistry, or Trace Analysis. In Toxicology, analysts process blood and urine for DUI cases; in Drug Chemistry, they analyze seized drug evidence; in Trace Analysis, they examine evidence such as arson debris, hairs, fibers, glass, paint chips, gun‑shot residue, and unknown specimens. The Forensic Chemist Training Program lasts approximately one year and includes reading assignments, practical examinations, a mock trial, and competency tests for each discipline. Upon completion, analysts generally process casework under the direction of experienced analysts for a set period. The position is located at 3600 Chamberlain Lane, Suite 410, Louisville, KY 40241, within the Justice & Public Safety Cabinet. The role is full‑time (40 hours/week), eligible for overtime pay, and part of the Executive Branch. The initial and promotional probationary period is 12 months (per KRS 18A.111). For questions, contact Julie Ferguson at julie.ferguson@ky.gov. Application deadline: September 25, 2026, 11:59 PM ET." That covers agency description, role description, training, location, hiring agency, schedule, probation, contact, deadline. Now Responsibilities section as list. Requirements section: Education: bachelor's degree in chemistry, forensic science, or related science field. No experience required. No substitutions. No special requirements. We can phrase as list items. Skills section: list. Pay section: Pay Grade 14, Salary $50,000.00 Annually. Schedule section: Full-time, 40 hours per week, eligible for overtime pay. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The description of Forensic Chemist roles (Toxicology, Drug Chemistry,
