We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes summary, essential duties, supervisory responsibilities, qualifications, education/experience, physical demands, work environment, benefits. We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should map content accordingly. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like disclaimer, EEO, etc. The posting includes a disclaimer at end; we should drop that. Also drop "Continued employment remains on an at-will basis." etc. Also drop "Requirements are representative..." etc. Keep substantive info. We need sections only when there is real specific content. Provide About the role (summary). Responsibilities (essential duties + supervisory responsibilities). Requirements (qualifications? maybe combine). Qualifications (education/experience). Skills maybe not separate; we could omit if not specific. Benefits section present. Pay and Schedule not present, so omit. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent. Let's extract: Summary: This position is responsible for supervising the keeper staff assigned to this area, monitoring and performing husbandry, and coordinating activities with other departments within Animal Programs. Specific animals in this area will include Okapi, Bongo, Squirrel Monkey, Orangutan, Red Panda, Colobus, Jaguar, Capybara, and Giant Anteater. Essential Duties and Responsibilities: list many bullet-like sentences. We'll turn each sentence into

  • . Supervisory Responsibilities: also list. Qualifications: list of abilities. Education and/or Experience: list. Physical Demands: description. Work Environment: description. Benefits: list. We need to decide headings: About the role (summary). Responsibilities (essential duties + supervisory). Requirements (maybe qualifications abilities). Qualifications (education/experience). Benefits. We could also include Physical Demands and Work Environment under Requirements or as separate sections? The allowed headings list includes only those specific: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we must fit content into those headings. We can put Physical Demands and Work Environment under Requirements (maybe as part of requirements). Or we could omit if not fitting? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; cannot drop. So we need to include them somewhere. Could add them under Requirements as a list. Skills heading: we could put the abilities under Skills? But Qualifications already covers education/experience. The abilities could be under Skills. However the instruction: Use headings only when posting has real specific content for it. We have content for Skills (abilities). So we could have Skills section for the abilities list. Qualifications for education/experience. Requirements for physical demands and work environment? Or maybe Requirements for qualifications (knowledge, skill, ability). But we already have Skills for abilities. Let's think. The posting includes: Qualifications: To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill, and/or ability required. Then list of abilities (must be 21+, driver license, ability to independently perform..., etc). Then Education and/or Experience: ... Then Physical Demands, Work Environment. Thus we could map: - About the role: summary paragraph. - Responsibilities: essential duties + supervisory responsibilities (list). - Requirements: Physical Demands + Work Environment (list). Could also include "Must be 21 years..." etc but those are more qualifications. - Qualifications: Education and/or Experience. - Skills: the list of abilities (knowledge, skill, ability). Or we could put those under Qualifications and combine education/experience there. But we have separate headings; better to follow typical: Qualifications = education/experience; Skills = abilities; Requirements = physical demands/work environment. Check if any content missing: Benefits we have. We must not create Pay/Schedule sections. Now produce HTML. We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Disclaimer", "Continued employment remains on an at-will basis." etc. We'll extract each piece. Let's copy summary: "This position is responsible for supervising the keeper staff assigned to this area, monitoring and performing husbandry, and coordinating activities with other departments within Animal Programs. Specific animals in this area will include Okapi, Bongo, Squirrel Monkey, Orangutan, Red Panda, Colobus, Jaguar, Capybara, and Giant Anteater." Now essential duties list: each sentence after "Essential Duties and Responsibilities:" up to before "Supervisory Responsibilities:" (the line "Supervisory Responsibilities:" appears after the list). Let's extract sentences: - Supervise and plan the work of staff responsible for the direct maintenance and care of a variety of animals within the Zoo - Participate in the development and implementation of goals, objectives, policies and priorities for both the collection and staff - Supervise, direct and participate in the feeding and watering of animals in and around existing quarters; clean, inspect, sanitize, and maintain and repair animal quarters - Train assigned employees, interns, and volunteers in their areas of work including zookeeping and animal care methods, procedures, techniques and professional conduct - Monitor the work of assigned employees for accuracy, proper work methods, techniques, and compliance with applicable standards and specifications - Supervise the administration of animal diet directives from Nutrition Department; clean and maintain food storage containers - Maintain adequate records on daily activities, observe animal behavior for signs of illness, weight loss/gain or injury, report any signs of illness or injury to curator, assist veterinarians in minor operations or related activity as needed - Supervise and implement approved animal training and enrichment projects in the area - Supervise and participate in the implementation of approved research projects - Lead and participate in regular staff meetings - Maintain inventory of supplies and equipment - Supervise and perform various maintenance and repair activities on animal quarters and animal cleaning equipment - Oversee and assist in the training and enrichment of assigned animals - Respond to public inquiries in a courteous manner, resolve complaints in an efficient and timely manner - Present keeper talks to park visitors and media as needed - Ensure and supervise the proper restraint, crating, moving, and uncrating of animals - Inspect animal equipment and facilities, report for maintenance as required Now supervisory responsibilities list (after "Supervisory Responsibilities:" line). It seems duplicated somewhat but we need to capture: - Demonstrates leadership of employees through ongoing training to include applicable laws, Zoo policies, business conduct and ethics and the provision of quality services to guests and employees supporting the highest level of program integrity. - Exercise supervision over assigned zoo keeping staff, interns and volunteers for all areas of collection care and professional conduct - Participate in the selection, hiring, training and evaluation of staff - Monitor the work environment of staff, participate in the review and implementation of disciplinary action as needed with the Curatorial and Human Resources staff - Schedule staff; maintain up to date standard operation procedure for assigned areas - Ensure safe working environment for staff and animals - Demonstrates leadership of employees through ongoing training to include applicable laws, zoo policies, business conduct and ethics and the provision of quality services to guests and employees supporting the highest level of program integrity. Note there is a duplicate line at start and end; we can keep both or deduplicate? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Duplicate lines are substantive? They are repeated; we could keep both but maybe it's okay to keep as is. However it's redundant; but we should preserve as given. We'll keep both. Now Qualifications (abilities) list after "Must be 21 years of age or older" etc. Let's extract: - Must be 21 years of age or older - Valid driver license with acceptable motor vehicle record to maintain zoo standards of insurability - Must possess ability to: - Independently perform the most difficult animal care and handling duties - Interpret, explain and enforce department policies and procedures - Work independently in the absence of immediate supervision - Understand and follow oral and written instructions - Communicate clearly and concisely, both orally and in writing - Establish and maintain effective working relationships - Maintain mental capacity which permits making sound decisions and using good judgment, prioritizing work activities - Foster and maintain a cohesive team environment - Supervisory Responsibilities: (but we already captured supervisory responsibilities earlier; this appears again under Qualifications? Actually after the abilities list there is "Supervisory Responsibilities:" again with similar content. We'll treat that as part of supervisory responsibilities already captured; but it's duplicated. We'll keep it as part of supervisory responsibilities maybe. But the abilities list includes also "Supervisory Responsibilities:" heading again; we already captured supervisory responsibilities earlier; we could treat this as part of supervisory responsibilities (duplicate). We'll keep it. Now Education and/or Experience: - Must have 3 years of increasingly responsible zoo keeping experience; minimum of 1-year supervisory experience preferred - High School diploma or equivalent - Bachelor’s degree in wildlife management, zoology, animal behavior, biology, ecology, psychology or related field preferred - Specialized training in zoology or a related field desirable but not required - Some tax-related expertise, or experience may be assigned to certain categories (venomous reptile experience, experience with incubators or hand rearing) Now Physical Demands: - While performing the duties of this job, the employee is frequently required to stand, walk, sit; use hands to finger, handle, or feel; reach with hands and arms; stoop, kneel, crouch, or crawl; and talk or hear. - The employee must frequently lift and/or move 50 pounds, sometimes up to 75 pounds with assistance.
