Information Systems Application Specialist
Full-time
. Now we need to avoid boilerplate: remove EEO, drug screen etc? The Special Requirements includes drug screen, polygraph, etc. That's substantive? It's a requirement. Should we include under Requirements or Qualifications? It's a special requirement. Could be part of Requirements. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them into sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID etc. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:About the role
This position is located in the IT Services Unit within the Information Services Division in Oklahoma City, OK. Remote working will NOT be an option for this position. Basic Purpose Positions in this job family are assigned responsibilities involving the planning and development of automated applications systems to support the business needs of an organization. This includes review and analysis of user functions and activities, evaluation of available resources and current systems, and the development of appropriate programs or systems. Works with users, management and others to identify and define long and short-range information services requirements.
But we might split Basic Purpose into its own paragraph? It's okay. Responsibilities: list of Major Work Duties and Typical Functions. They are quite detailed; we can combine into a- list.
We need to preserve all substantive information: So we need to include each duty as a list item.
Let's extract Major Work Duties bullet points (they are separated by periods). The text:
"Analyzes and designs .net program code, screen layouts, reports, set implementation and testing criteria, and plans to support the development of new or enhanced applications.Performs all aspects of .net systems design including writing required program code, database models, testing, and evaluation of existing processes.Provides technical assistance to internal and external customers relating to agency developed .net applications. Work with users and other IT personnel to troubleshoot issues.Conducts or coordinates user acceptance tests, performance stress regression, integration testing, making changes and corrections as needed. Participates in structures walk-throughs.Troubleshoots minor network and PC software problems as needed. Assists with training users regarding in-house developed systems."
Then "Typical Functions" list:
"Reviews and analyzes organization business needs; confers with users to evaluate requirements, discuss solutions and develop plan of approach.Analyzes and designs program logic, screen layouts, reports, station criteria and testing criteria to support development of new or enhanced systems; evaluates prototypes, design techniques, tools and instructional methods.Performs all aspects of systems design including writing required programs, testing and evaluation of new processes and implementation of new applications; writes, tests, debugs and documents software.Prepares development request documentation to support new or enhanced systems and applications; translates into detailed functional requirements, technical designs and specifications.Conducts or coordinates user acceptance, performance stress, regression and integration testing; makes changes and corrections as needed.Participates in structured walk-throughs and other activities to review systems and provide training and support; provides technical assistance, instruction and training to lower-level staff.Performs ongoing maintenance and review of applications systems and programs; identifies problems and develops appropriate solutions.Participates in the planning, design, development, integration and implementation of software and technology."
We can combine both sets into one list, but ensure we don't lose any detail.
We could separate into two lists under Responsibilities: Major Work Duties and Typical Functions, but we can just make one list.
Now Requirements: Education And Experience for each level. We need to preserve all details. Could present as a
- with three items for Level I, II, III each containing the education/experience requirements.
We need to not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the exact text for each level.
Let's extract:
Level I: "Education and Experience requirements at this level consist of the completion of twelve semester hours of computer science or management information systems course work at an accredited college or university; or completion of a minimum of 156 hours of vocational or technical education courses resulting in certification in applications development; or an equivalent combination of education and experience, substituting one year of experience in applications development for the required education."
Level II: "Education and Experience requirements at this level consist of the completion of twelve semester hours of computer science or management information systems course work at an accredited college or university plus one additional year of experience in applications development and analysis work; or completion of a minimum of 156 hours of vocational or technical education courses resulting in certification in applications development plus one additional year of experience in applications development and analysis work; or an equivalent combination of education and experience, substituting one year of experience in applications development for the required education plus one additional year of experience in applications development and analysis work."
Level III: "Education and Experience requirements at this level consist of the completion of twelve semester hours of computer science or management information systems course work at an accredited college or university plus three additional year of experience in applications development and analysis work; or completion of a minimum of 156 hours of vocational or technical education courses resulting in certification in applications development plus three additional year of experience in applications development and analysis work; or an equivalent combination of education and experience, substituting one year of experience in applications development for the required education plus three additional year of experience in applications development and analysis work."
We'll put those as list items.
Now Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, And Competencies: we can put under Skills section (or Qualifications). The spec includes Skills heading. We'll put under
- for each.
Schedule: Full time.
Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Remove those lines.
Also remove "Note: Applications will be accepted until 11:59 PM on the day prior to the posting end date above." etc. Also remove "Current active State of Oklahoma employees must apply for open positions internally through the Workday Jobs Hub." etc. Also remove "If You Are Needing Any Extra Assistance Or Have Any Questions Relating To a Job You Have Applied For, Please Click The Link Below And Find The Agency For Which You Applied For Additional Information Agency Contact". All that is boilerplate.
Now produce HTML.
We'll need to ensure proper nesting: each section heading
then content. We'll not include any extra tags like . Let's craft. First About the role:
