Groundsworker
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID/req numbers as headings; can fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Preserve all substantive info. We need to extract content: About the role: description of CSUF, department, mission, etc. Responsibilities: duties and responsibilities. Requirements: essential qualifications? Qualifications: maybe essential and preferred? Skills: maybe skills listed. Benefits: Benefits at a Glance. Pay: Salary Range. Schedule: Work Schedule. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual salary range: $3,461 - $4,752 per month. Work schedule: Monday - Friday, 5:00 AM - 1:30 PM (with note about alternative shift times). Benefits: list. We need to avoid duplication: there are repeated lines like "Excellent customer service and interpersonal skills." appears twice; we can keep once. We need to remove boilerplate: Notice of Non-Discrimination, Title IX, etc. Also remove lines about background check? That's part of qualifications (essential). Keep that. We need to remove application instructions: online application/resume must be received... etc. Also remove H-1B, CSU salary step structure, hiring preference, etc. Those are maybe not substantive? They are additional info but maybe considered boilerplate? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The hiring preference etc might be considered legal? Might be considered extra info but not essential? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep info that is substantive about the job: classification, salary, schedule, about CSUF, department, duties, essential qualifications, preferred qualifications, license/certifications, special working conditions, benefits. The hiring preference, CSU out-of-state policy, etc might be considered legal/boilerplate? Might be considered extra but not core job description. However they are part of posting; but the instruction says remove legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The hiring preference and out-of-state policy are legal/policy statements. Likely should be removed. Also the background check info is part of qualifications (essential). Keep. We need to format sections. Let's decide sections: - About the role (or About the position) – include description of CSUF, department, mission, etc. - Responsibilities – duties and responsibilities. - Qualifications – could combine Essential and Preferred? But we have separate headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The instruction says use headings for those if content exists. We could have:
Requirements
for essential qualifications (including experience, background check, ability to perform manual labor, etc.)Preferred Qualifications
maybe under Qualifications? But we could useQualifications
for essential and thenPreferred Qualifications
as separate? The instruction only lists certain headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It does not list Preferred Qualifications separately. So we could put preferred qualifications under Qualifications or Skills. Perhaps we can put essential under Requirements, and preferred under Qualifications (or Skills). But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's think. We have essential qualifications: knowledge, ability, one year experience, background check. We have preferred qualifications: previous experience in large facility, ability to operate equipment, knowledge of sports turf, excellent customer service, ability to read/write English, computer use. We also have License/Certifications: valid California driver's license. Special Working Conditions: ability to perform manual labor, outdoors, weather, overtime, lift up to 50 lbs, color discrimination, master key. These could go under Requirements or Skills. Maybe we can structure:About the role

– duties.Requirements
– essential qualifications (including experience, background check, ability to perform manual labor, etc.)Skills

– benefits list.Pay
– salary range.Schedule
– work schedule. We must not include sections with filler. All have content. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We need to use- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. We need to avoid repeating job title. We need to drop Job ID etc. Could include a short
with classification? The classification is Groundsworker; but job title already shown. Could include classification as meta? Probably drop. Let's craft content. About the role prose: combine CSUF description and department description. We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like: CSUF is a leading public university committed to student success, academic excellence, inclusive excellence.

Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "Notice of Non-Discrimination", "Title IX", "EEO", etc. Also remove lines about background check conditional offer details? That is part of essential qualifications; we can keep brief.
We also need to remove duplicated lines: there is duplicate "Excellent customer service and interpersonal skills." We'll keep once.
