We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About The Adjutant General's Office", "Role Overview", "Salary", "A Day In The Life", "What You'll Need For Success", "You Must Satisfy The Following Requirements To Continue Employment", "Supervisory Responsibilities/Direct Reports", "Benefits Of Employment With The State Of Indiana". Also there is an introductory paragraph about Indiana state. We need to use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map to generic headings like "Requirements". So we can use
for section headings. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting includes an EEO statement at end; we must remove that. Also remove "Equal Employment Opportunity" etc. Also remove "Free Parking for most positions Free LinkedIn Learning access" maybe part of benefits? It's part of benefits list; we can keep if it's substantive. But we need to preserve all substantive info. However we must not include boilerplate like EEO statement. So we will omit that paragraph. We need to decide which sections to include based on real content. We have: - Intro paragraph: "Work for Indiana Begin a fulfilling career with the State of Indiana by joining one of the largest employers in the state, offering a range of opportunities across 60+ agencies. At the state, you'll find competitive compensation, a robust benefits package and a commitment to work-life balance. Most importantly, you'll have the chance to make a real and measurable impact on the lives of Hoosiers across Indiana." That's substantive; we can put as a
maybe under no heading? Could be a general intro. Since no heading, just a
. - About The Adjutant General's Office: heading "About The Adjutant General's Office". Use
About The Adjutant General's Office
then paragraphs. - Role Overview: heading "Role Overview". UseRole Overview
. - Salary: heading "Salary". UseSalary
. The content: "The salary for this position traditionally starts at $47,320.00 but may be commensurate with education and work experience. Use our Compensation Calculator to view the total compensation package." The phrase "commensurate with education and work experience" is a placeholder? It's not a specific number but it's still substantive? The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") . So we cannot include a Salary section if the content is just that placeholder. However we have a specific starting salary $47,320.00 plus note that may be commensurate. The instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", ...). It seems they want to avoid sections where the only content is placeholder like "commensurate with experience". But we have actual number plus note. I think we can keep Salary section with the specific starting salary and note about compensation calculator. That's substantive. - A Day In The Life: heading "A Day In The Life". UseA Day In The Life
. Then list of essential functions as bullet list. - What You'll Need For Success: heading "What You'll Need For Success". UseWhat You'll Need For Success
. Then list of abilities as bullet list. - You Must Satisfy The Following Requirements To Continue Employment: heading maybe "Requirements". UseRequirements
or keep original phrasing? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map to generic headings like "Requirements". So we can use Requirements
. Content: Obtain and retain an Indiana driver’s license. Obtain a pesticide applicator license and appropriate category within the first year of employment and retain. Also maybe "Supervisory Responsibilities/Direct Reports" could be separate? But we can incorporate under Requirements or separate section. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine Supervisory Responsibilities into Requirements or maybe a separate "Supervisory Responsibilities" but that's thin. Better to include under Requirements.
- Benefits Of Employment With The State Of Indiana: heading "Benefits". Use Benefits
. Then list benefits as bullet list.
We must not include EEO statement.
Also need to remove duplicated lines. Check for duplicates: The intro about State of Indiana appears also later in Benefits? Not duplicate.
We need to preserve all substantive info: ensure we include details like alternative work schedule, spot bonus program, chance to work with military and federal partners (from AGO benefits). Also mention agency specific benefits: alternative work schedule, spot bonus program, chance to work with military and federal partners. Those are under AGO description; we should include them maybe under About The Adjutant General's Office or Benefits? Probably under About The Adjutant General's Office.
Also mention "AGO offers a competitive compensation and benefits package, as well as an outstanding work/life balance." Already covered.
Also mention "AGO offers agency specific benefits, such as an opportunity to work an alternative work schedule, a spot bonus program to reward hardworking employees, and a chance to work with military and federal partners."
We'll include that in About section.
Now format.
We'll produce:
