INTERMEDIATE CLERK, CAREER DEVELOPMENT INTERN
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- About This Position: description of duties (specialized clerical duties). This is about role and responsibilities.
- Essential Job Functions: list of duties.
- Requirements: includes experience, special requirement, license, physical class.
- Additional Information: Examination content, test details, eligibility, shift, application instructions (but we should remove application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should drop sections about how to apply, email verification, etc. Also remove boilerplate like EEO, ARDI, testing accommodations contact? Those might be considered boilerplate but maybe some are substantive? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove EEO statement, ARDI, testing accommodations (maybe considered part of process but could be considered boilerplate? It's about accommodations; might be considered legal. Safer to remove. Also remove department contact info? Might be considered contact but not required. Probably remove.
- Benefits: The posting mentions benefits in "Why work for us?" paragraph: "Join us and discover one of the strongest public-sector benefits packages in the county with a rich selection of health care options, robust retirement plans and the flexibility to work, relax, and rejuvenate to reach your fullest personal and professional potential." Also a link to benefits. That's substantive benefits info. So we should include Benefits section.
- Pay: Not mentioned. No pay info. So omit Pay section.
- Schedule: Not mentioned. There's "Available Shift Any" maybe? Actually there is "Available Shift Any" under Eligibility And Vacancy Information. That indicates shift availability. Could be schedule info. It says "Available Shift Any". That's schedule info. So we could include Schedule section with that.
- Qualifications: Might be same as Requirements. We could combine Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- About the role: maybe a brief paragraph about the position (specialized clerical duties). Could be under About the role.
- Responsibilities: list of essential job functions.
- Requirements: experience, special requirement, license, physical class.
- Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? Could be omitted if duplicate. But we could put license and physical class under Qualifications? However we already have Requirements covering experience. Might be better to have Requirements for experience, Qualifications for license and physical class. But the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine into Requirements (including experience, license, physical class). Qualifications maybe not needed.
- Skills: Not explicitly listed. Could infer from duties but not explicit. Better not to create Skills section if no explicit skills listed.
- Benefits: we have.
- Schedule: "Available Shift Any". Could be schedule.
Thus output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Schedule.
We need to use for each heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the details from the posting.
Let's extract substantive content:
About This Position: "Performs specialized clerical duties." That's it. Could be a short sentence.
Essential Job Functions list: many items. We need to preserve all. Let's list them exactly as in the posting:
- Processes documents according to established procedures; examples include reports, charts, tables and lists, bills, receipts, statements, case files, permits, licenses, and notices.
- Reviews documents for completeness, accuracy, and compliance with legal and other requirements.
- Answers questions and provides information to the public concerning regulations, procedures, forms, applications, and permit requests.
- Maintains records requiring specialized knowledge and judgment in the selection, compilation or computation of data; examples include cost records and distribution and control ledgers which can be posted without extensive knowledge of bookkeeping.
- Compares or segregates documents where specialized knowledge of the function and more than a routine check for completeness and accuracy is involved.
- Utilizes office machines such as computers or terminals, copiers, scanners, or calculators incidental to the performance of other duties.
- Searches records and files for data where judgment and discrimination are required in selecting or abstracting material.
- Indexes and cross-references records and files.
- Sorts, arranges and files documents; retrieves and issues filed materials.
- Calculates amounts due and collects fees.
- Requests, receives, stores, inventories, and issues office supplies, and maintains related records.
- Receives, sorts and distributes mail.
- Serves as a receptionist or counter clerk, as needed.
We need to keep each as list item.
Requirements: "Six (6) months of office clerical experience gained through an on-the-job training program as a Career Development Intern, Office Support/Clerical* within the County of Los Angeles."
Special Requirement Information: "Applicants must hold or have held the payroll title of Career Development Intern, Office Support/Clerical within the County of Los Angeles. Only current or past enrollees may compete in this examination for permanent appointment to the Intermediate Clerk position in accordance with the Civil Service Rule 6.02A(3). Applicants who have a Certificate of Participation issued by the Director of Personnel demonstrating that they have completed the County of Los Angeles Career Development Intern Program, Office and Clerical Support must submit a copy of their certification at the time of filing or within seven (7) calendar days of filing your application online. Please submit documentation to KMacaranas@hr.lacounty.gov and indicate your name, the exam name, and the exam number. We do not accept password-protected documents. Ensure documents are unlocked before attaching to your application or sending to the exam analyst. To obtain a Certificate of Participation, please contact the Career Development Intern Program at CDI@hr.lacounty.gov."
Withhold Information: "No withhold or out-of-class experience will be allowed for this examination. Required experienced must be fully met at the time of filing and clearly indicated on the application."

Physical Class: "Physical Class 2 - Light: This class includes administrative and clerical positions requiring light physical effort that may include occasional light lifting to a 10-pound limit and some bending, stooping, or squatting. Considerable ambulation may be involved."
We need to preserve all that.
Additional Information: Examination content etc. Might be considered part of Requirements? But it's about exam. Could be considered part of Requirements? The instruction says include sections only when posting has real specific content. The exam content is specific. Could be a section like "Examination" but not in allowed headings. Allowed headings are limited to those list. So we might need to fit exam content under Requirements or Qualifications? Not ideal. But we could omit exam content if not fitting allowed headings? However we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include it somewhere. Perhaps we can put it under Requirements as additional detail. Or under Qualifications. Since we have limited headings, we can include exam content under Requirements (makes sense). Or we could create a separate section "Requirements" and include both experience and exam details.
Similarly, eligibility and vacancy info: "Applicants who passed the assessment(s) are placed on a list in the order of their score group for a period of 12 months. Applications will be processed as they are received and added to the list accordingly. We will use this list to fill vacancies as they occur." That's substantive. Could go under Requirements or maybe under Schedule? Not really. Could be under Requirements as part of process.
Available Shift Any: that's schedule.
Application instructions etc we should remove.
Thus we will have sections:
- About the role: short paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list of essential job functions.
- Requirements: include experience, special requirement, license, physical class, exam content, eligibility/vacancy info.
- Benefits: paragraph about benefits.
- Schedule: "Available Shift Any".
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, ARDI, testing accommodations, contact info, etc.
We need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines.
