We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Title: Forensic Technologist - Forensic Unit Employee Classification: Forensic Technologist Campus: University of North Texas Health at Fort Worth Division: HSC-Div of Rsrch & Innovation SubDivision-Department: HSC-Health Institutes & Centers Department: HSC-Center for Human ID-304600 Job Location: Fort Worth Salary: Grade 08 FTE: 1.000000 Retirement Eligibility: TRS Eligible We have "About Us - Values Overview" paragraph. That's about the organization, not necessarily "About the role". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - About Us - Values Overview: description of UNT System. Could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About the role" would be description of the position. We have "Position Overview" paragraph: "Perform lab duties to include extraction, quantification, amplification and processing/loading of DNA samples onto analytical instruments. Also assists in performing maintenance, calibrations, and stocking of laboratories. May testify as an expert witness." That's a good summary of role. Thus we can have

About the role

with that paragraph. - Responsibilities: we have "Job Duties" list: bullet points: "Casework examination following all Quality Assurance Manual and Procedure Manual guidelines.", "Maintain proficiency by completing two external proficiency tests per year as required by the National Standards.", "Perform extractions, quantitation, amplifications, and load samples on the genetic analyzers for processing of casework samples.", "Assist in performing equipment maintenance, performance checks, and calibrations.", "Perform equipment checks and stock laboratories as needed.", "Provide court testimony as required." We can put those under

Responsibilities

as
  • ... etc. - Requirements: we have "Minimum Qualifications": "High school diploma or GED and three (3) years of related experience; or any equivalent combination of education and experience." That's a requirement. Also "Required License/Registration/Certifications": "Texas Forensic Science Commission Forensic Biology Technician License". That's also a requirement. Thus we can have

    Requirements

    with those items as list. - Qualifications: maybe we could separate "Knowledge, Skills And Abilities" as Qualifications or Skills. The instruction includes Qualifications and Skills separate. We have "Knowledge, Skills And Abilities" list: bullet points: "Knowledge of forensic science principles, evidence collection, and preservation techniques related to criminal investigations.", "Familiarity with laboratory equipment, testing methods, and analytical procedures for various types of evidence, including biological samples.", "Strong attention to detail in documenting, testing, and analyzing physical evidence.", "Ability to collect and store evidence in a manner that preserves its integrity for investigations and legal proceedings.", "Capability to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines while maintaining accuracy in forensic work.", "Strong communication skills to prepare detailed reports and present findings clearly to law enforcement and in court." We could put those under

    Skills

    (or Qualifications). Since we have both sections, we could put Knowledge, Skills And Abilities under Skills. Qualifications maybe we could put Minimum Qualifications and License under Qualifications. But we already used Requirements for those. Actually we could treat Requirements as the mandatory qualifications (education/experience/license). Then Qualifications could be preferred qualifications? Not present. So maybe we skip Qualifications section if no specific content beyond what we already used. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we should not create Qualifications if we don't have distinct content. Similarly Benefits: we have "Benefits For information regarding our Benefits, click here." That's not specific content; it's a link placeholder. No actual benefits listed. So we should NOT include Benefits section because it's not specific. Pay: we have "Salary: Grade 08". That's specific? It's a grade, not a numeric salary. Could be considered Pay info. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state Salary: Grade 08. That is a statement of pay grade. So we can include Pay section with that info. Schedule: we have "Work Schedule 8:00a - 5:00p, M-F with potential for flexible work arrangement". That's specific. So include Schedule. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Pay, Schedule. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We need to strip boilerplate: About Us - Values Overview (we may not need that as separate section; we used Position Overview for About the role). The About Us values overview is generic; we can discard. We need to preserve all substantive information: we must include all details from the posting that are not boilerplate. Let's list all substantive info: - Position Overview: Perform lab duties to include extraction, quantification, amplification and processing/loading of DNA samples onto analytical instruments. Also assists in performing maintenance, calibrations, and stocking of laboratories. May testify as an expert witness. - Job Duties list (6 items). - Minimum Qualifications: High school diploma or GED and three (3) years of related experience; or any equivalent combination of education and experience. - Required License/Registration/Certifications: Texas Forensic Science Commission Forensic Biology Technician License. - Knowledge, Skills And Abilities list (6 items). - Physical Requirements: Repeating motions that may include the wrists, hands and/or fingers. Communicating with others to exchange information. - Environmental Hazards: Exposure to moving mechanical parts or vibration. Work with toxic or caustic chemicals. - Work Schedule: 8:00a - 5:00p, M-F with potential for flexible work arrangement. - Driving University Vehicle: No. - Security Sensitive: This is a Security Sensitive Position. - Special Instructions: Applicants must submit a minimum of two professional references as part of their application. If needed, additional references can be added after the application has been submitted. Employment at the Center for Human Identification is contingent upon your agreement to provide a DNA sample for purposes of quality control to detect sample contamination. - Benefits: For information regarding our Benefits, click here. (Not specific, we discard.) - EEO Statement: boilerplate, discard. - Salary: Grade 08. - FTE: 1.000000. - Retirement Eligibility: TRS Eligible. - Campus: University of North Texas Health at Fort Worth. - Division: HSC-Div of Rsrch & Innovation. - SubDivision-Department: HSC-Health Institutes & Centers. - Department: HSC-Center for Human ID-304600. - Job Location: Fort Worth. - Employee Classification: Forensic Technologist. We need to decide where to place these details. Many are metadata like campus, division, department, job location, classification, FTE, retirement eligibility. 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 at the top maybe summarizing key metadata: Campus, Division, Department, Location, FTE, Retirement eligibility, etc. But we must not repeat job title as heading. We can include a

    with that info. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we must include all those metadata details somewhere, not drop them. We can include them in a

    after the heading sections or before. The instruction: fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So we can create a

    that includes those details. Thus final HTML: maybe start with a

    containing metadata: "Campus: University of North Texas Health at Fort Worth. Division: HSC-Div of Rsrch & Innovation. SubDivision-Department: HSC-Health Institutes & Centers. Department: HSC-Center for Human ID-304600. Job Location: Fort Worth. Employee Classification: Forensic Technologist. FTE: 1.000000. Retirement Eligibility: TRS Eligible." Then sections. We need to ensure we don't create headings with empty content. Let's outline:

Department: HSC-Center for Human ID-304600. Job Location: Fort Worth. Employee Classification: Forensic Technologist. FTE: 1.000000. Retirement Eligibility: TRS Eligible.
