We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also must not include Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. Let's see what content we have: - Initial Posting Date, Application Deadline: metadata, could be folded into short
maybe. Not a heading. - Agency Department of Transportation: metadata. - Salary Range $4,312 - $5,988: This is pay info. So we can include a Pay section with that range. Also note about PERS increase etc. That's pay details. - Position Type Employee: metadata. - Position Title: not heading. - Job Description: includes "Transportation Maintenance Specialist 2 – Highway Maintenance Specialist (Seasonal) (On-site Housing Available)" maybe redundant. - The Role: heading? Could be "About the role". We'll use
About the role
and then paragraph. - A Day In The Life: list of duties. That's responsibilities. So we can haveResponsibilities
with- items.
- What’s In It For You: includes work/life balance, 11 paid holidays a year, flexible work schedules, paid leave and so much more. Also mention benefits. So we can have Benefits section.
- Minimum Qualifications: that's qualifications/requirements. Could be Requirements or Qualifications. We'll use
Requirements
maybe. - Special Qualifications: includes CDL-A required etc. That's also requirements. - What We’d Like To See: desirable attributes, could be Skills or Preferences. Could be Skills section. - Additional Information: includes visa sponsorship, I-9, etc. Some of that is boilerplate legal/EEO etc. We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The Additional Information includes many legal statements: "We do not offer visa sponsorship.", "If you are hired, you will be required to fill out the US Department of Homeland Security’s I-9 form..." etc. Some of that may be considered boilerplate legal. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should strip out legal boilerplate like EEO statements, visa sponsorship, I-9, E-Verify, criminal background checks, union representation, etc. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information. Are those considered substantive? They are legal requirements but maybe considered boilerplate. The instruction says remove legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should remove those lines. Also "We may use this recruitment to fill multiple or future vacancies." maybe keep? It's not legal but maybe informational. Might be okay to keep as part of Additional Information but we need to decide. We also have "Snowplow, road maintenance, highway, farming, flagging" at end maybe tags. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's extract substantive content: - About the role: The paragraph starting "Do you want to use your skills to make a difference? Join our hardworking Lake of the Woods maintenance crew and help keep Oregon’s roads and travelers safe! As part of our team, you will operate equipment necessary to maintain and repair roadways, highways, bridges and structures. You will also help with emergency cleanup and traffic control after storms, spills, incidents and more! Apply today! This is a seasonal position that is expected to last approximately 6 months from date of hire. Seasonal positions are regular status, benefits eligible positions, which occur, terminate and recur periodically or regularly. We provide a safe and reliable multimodal transportation system that connects people and helps Oregon's communities and economy thrive. We encourage people from all backgrounds and abilities to apply for our positions. Before applying, visit our applicant information website to learn more about our process. If you are a current State of Oregon employee, you must apply through your employee Workday profile." We need to remove application instructions like "Before applying, visit our applicant information website..." maybe considered application instructions. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should remove sentences about applying process. Also "If you are a current State of Oregon employee, you must apply through your employee Workday profile." That's application instruction. So we should strip those. Thus About the role paragraph should keep: "Do you want to use your skills to make a difference? Join our hardworking Lake of the Woods maintenance crew and help keep Oregon’s roads and travelers safe! As part of our team, you will operate equipment necessary to maintain and repair roadways, highways, bridges and structures. You will also help with emergency cleanup and traffic control after storms, spills, incidents and more! Apply today! This is a seasonal position that is expected to last approximately 6 months from date of hire. Seasonal positions are regular status, benefits eligible positions, which occur, terminate and recur periodically or regularly. We provide a safe and reliable multimodal transportation system that connects people and helps Oregon's communities and economy thrive. We encourage people from all backgrounds and abilities to apply for our positions." We might keep "Apply today!" maybe okay but it's a call to action; could be considered application instruction? Might be okay to keep as it's not instruction. But safer to keep. - Responsibilities: from "A Day In The Life" list.

The salary range listed is the non-PERS monthly salary range. If you are already a participating PERS member or once you become PERS eligible, the salary range will increase by 6.95%." Also "Public Service Loan Forgiveness opportunity!" That's a benefit maybe. We need to include Pay section with that info. Should we include the equal pay assessment details? It's substantive. We'll include. - Benefits: from "What’s In It For You": "Work/life balance, 11 paid holidays a year, flexible work schedules, paid leave and so much more. Learn more about working at the Oregon Department of Transportation and the benefits we offer." Also maybe "Public Service Loan Forgiveness opportunity!" could be benefit. Also "On-site Housing Available" mentioned in title. Also "Through an equal pay assessment..." is pay. Also "Comprehensive and equitable base salary offer within the listed range." That's pay.

That's a benefit/housing. Also "This position requires a maximum 45 minute response time to 37851 Hwy 140, Klamath Falls, OR 97601 emergency call-outs." That's a requirement maybe. We need to decide whether to split into Requirements and Qualifications. Could combine as Requirements. We'll make a Requirements section with both minimum and special qualifications. - Skills: "What We’d Like To See" list: Experience in road maintenance, construction or in a maintenance training program such as ODOT High School to Highway program, ODOT/ODF Fire and Ice program, Job Corps, etc. Experience using hand tools and operating light and heavy equipment such as tractors, excavators, loaders or dump trucks.

We can put that as Skills section. - Additional Information: we need to filter out legal boilerplate.

We need to remove legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. That includes visa sponsorship, I-9, E-Verify, age not requested, criminal background checks, union representation, EEO statement, accommodation contact, Oregon Relay Service. Also maybe "We may use this recruitment to fill multiple or future vacancies." That's not legal; could keep.
