We can have sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (maybe bilingual etc?), Benefits (none), Pay (we have hiring pay), Schedule (we have requirement to work evenings, weekends, rotating shifts). So we can include Pay and Schedule sections. We must not repeat the job title as heading. So no heading for "Animal Care Technician I". Also not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, except boilerplate. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Thus produce something like:

    About the role

    Pima Animal Care Center (PACC) is looking to add an Intake Technician to our Admissions Team. The Intake Technician provides first line customer support to community members bringing in stray or owned animals into the shelter. Technicians microchip, vaccinate, and assess all incoming dogs and cats with various behaviors. They also provide daily care, feeding, and maintenance of animals at PACC, ensuring their health and well-being. This position may also perform cleaning and sanitizing of animal enclosures as well as monitor animal behavior. This position requires the ability to work evenings, weekends, and rotating shifts. The first review of applications will be on 10/02/2026. Hiring pay is $18.79 per hour. Job classification: 5931 - Animal Care Technician I, Salary Grade: 3, Job Type: Classified, Department: Pima Animal Care Center.

    But we need to avoid repeating job title as heading; but we can include it in prose. Then Responsibilities: list essential functions. We need to parse the essential functions list: It's a long sentence separated by semicolons. Let's split: - Provides humane care and safe handling for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and small pets, while monitoring behavior and health; - Works outdoors in all weather conditions and safely handles live animals, including those that may be injured, frightened, or offensive, using appropriate techniques to minimize risks to self and others; - Demonstrates excellent customer service to the public and volunteers by answering questions, addressing concerns, and guiding decisions regarding intakes, outcomes, redemptions and animal care in adherence to PACC policies; - Handles animals for behavioral assessments and playgroups, identifying placement or behavior concerns, and participates in decisions regarding outcomes, including euthanasia; - Accurately organizes and documents information on animal behavior, history, medical records and outcomes, utilizing shelter software and other systems for recordkeeping, communication, and scheduling; - Administers vaccinations and medications under veterinary guidance, assesses animals for signs of illness or injury and documents and communicates health concerns; - Facilitates adoption and foster processes by assisting with enrichment, behavioral evaluations, animal meet and greets, matchmaking and note reviews; - Supports intake and admissions by providing correct intake pathways, checking animals for health concerns, identifying ages/breeds and finding kennel placements; - Maintains a clean and sanitary facility, including kennels, workspaces, public lobbies, and treatment spaces; - Frequently lifts and carries heavy objects, bends, stoops, reaches, and performs other physical tasks as required; - Safeguards and accounts for scheduled drugs and funds received for PACC services; - Operates County-owned vehicles to transport animals and supplies. We'll put each as
  • . Then Requirements: Minimum Qualifications: High school diploma or GED certificate. (Relevant experience and/or education from an accredited college or university may be substituted.) Qualifying education and experience must be clearly documented in the "Education" and "Work Experience" sections of the application. Do not substitute a resume for your application or write "see resume" on your application. We could also include Selection Procedure? Might be considered part of Requirements? But we can keep as prose under maybe "Selection process". However headings limited to given list; we could add a section "Selection Procedure" but not in allowed headings list. The instruction: Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should prefer those headings. It says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect us to use only those headings. So we should map content to those headings. Thus we need to fit Selection Procedure maybe under Requirements or Qualifications? Could be under Requirements as part of "Selection process". But we might just omit it if not fitting. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; cannot omit selection procedure details. So we need to include it somewhere. Perhaps we can include it under "Requirements" as a paragraph after minimum qualifications. Or we could create a separate section "Selection Procedure" but that's not in the list; risk of being considered not following instruction. Safer to include it under Requirements as additional prose. Similarly Supplemental Information (licenses, background checks, immunizations, physical requirements, etc.) could go under Requirements or Qualifications or Skills? Could be under Requirements as well. But we need to keep all details. We also have Preferred Qualifications: bilingual, 1 year customer service, 6 months dogs, shelter experience. That fits under Qualifications. Skills: maybe we could list specific skills like customer service, animal handling, recordkeeping, vaccinations, etc. But we already have responsibilities covering many skills. Could create Skills section summarizing abilities: customer service, animal handling, recordkeeping, vaccination administration, etc. But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can list skills that are explicitly mentioned. The posting mentions: customer service, animal handling, behavioral assessments, recordkeeping, vaccination administration, adoption/foster facilitation, intake pathways, cleaning, lifting, safeguarding funds, operating vehicles. Those are skills. Could create Skills section with those as list. But we must not create thin sections; better to have few substantive sections. We could combine Responsibilities and Skills? But responsibilities already list duties; skills could be derived but might be considered summarizing. Safer to not create Skills section unless we have explicit skill list. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" heading; but we can extract skills from responsibilities and qualifications. However that might be considered summarizing. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. That's six sections. That seems fine. We need to include Pay: hiring pay $18.79 per hour. Schedule: ability to work evenings, weekends, rotating shifts. We also have first review date; could be included in About the role. We also have job classification, salary grade, job type, department; include in About the role. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove "Selection Procedure" and "Supplemental Information" as headings; we can embed their content into appropriate sections. Let's embed Selection Procedure under Requirements maybe as a paragraph: "Selection procedure: ..." but we need to keep the content. Similarly Supplemental Information: Licenses and Certificates, Special Notice Items, Physical/Sensory Requirements, Working Conditions. We'll embed those under Requirements as well (maybe as a subsection). But we must not invent headings inside; we can just include as prose paragraphs. We must not repeat the job title as heading; fine. Now produce HTML. We
