$72k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate like EEO, scam warning, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Salary Range: $72,000 to $72,000 (so fixed $72k). Also Washington State Employee Benefits and Retirement Plans.
- FLSA: Full-time, Non-Exempt
- Work Location: Hybrid within Washington State
- Mission statement etc.
- Purpose And Position Summary: Investigator with ODC investigates allegations... etc.
- Primary Job Duties And Responsibilities: long list.
- Other Duties And Projects As Assigned: other duties.
- Education Required: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination...
- Education Preferred: Bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, law (or related discipline) degree. Police, military or civilian investigation training.
- Experience Required: 3 years of experience investigating, practicing law, or engaging in similar work that involves interviewing and report writing. Experience with the legal system and analyzing complex factual and legal issues.
- Experience Preferred: Familiarity and experience with complex financial investigations and/or computer forensics. Exposure to wide range of legal matters, such as family law, criminal law, and immigration law.
- Competencies (Skills/Abilities) Required: list.
- Competencies (Skills/Abilities) Preferred: list.
- Working Conditions: Hybrid - Commutable position... etc.
- WSBA Benefits Include: list of benefits.
- Additional info: WSBA is PSLF eligible employer, tuition assistance, etc. Also culture pillars.
- Application instructions etc to be removed.
- Also mention "For consideration and to apply: ..." remove.
- Also mention "WSBA Staff must be authorized to work in the United States on a permanent basis, upon hire. This position is not eligible for Sponsorship." That's maybe not boilerplate? It's a requirement about work authorization. Could be considered part of Requirements? Might be considered a requirement. But it's not about education/experience. Could be included under Requirements as a line. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information. So we should include that as a requirement (maybe under Requirements). Also mention pre-employment background screening etc. That's also a requirement (condition of hire). Also mention WSBA subject to Washington State Court Rules GR 12.4 etc. That's more about organization, maybe not needed. But we should preserve substantive info about the job. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep everything that is substantive about the job: duties, responsibilities, education, experience, skills, benefits, pay, schedule, working conditions, etc. Also things like "WSBA Staff must reside within the State of Washington at the time of hire, and during active employment status." That's a requirement (location/residency). Also "Staff are required to use a personal smart mobile device for multifactor authentication via a WSBA authorized App." That's a condition. Also "The essential functions of the job that must be performed, with or without a reasonable accommodation: ..." That's also requirements.
We need to decide how to structure sections.
We have headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to map content.
- About the role: could include mission statement, purpose and position summary, maybe work location hybrid, FLSA status.
- Responsibilities: primary job duties and responsibilities, other duties as assigned.
- Requirements: education required, experience required, residency requirement, work authorization, background check, essential functions, maybe also "Staff must reside within WA", "use personal smart mobile device", etc.
- Qualifications: education preferred, experience preferred, maybe also "Police, military or civilian investigation training" could be qualification.
- Skills: competencies required and preferred? Could combine required and preferred skills under Skills section. But we have separate Skills heading. Could put required competencies there, and maybe preferred under Qualifications? But we have Qualifications heading separate. Usually qualifications include education, experience, certifications. Skills include abilities. We'll follow typical: Qualifications: education and experience (both required and preferred). Skills: competencies (required and preferred). However we need to avoid duplication.
Better: Use sections as per instruction: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We'll fill each with relevant content.
About the role: mission statement, purpose and position summary, work location hybrid, FLSA full-time non-exempt.
Responsibilities: primary duties and other duties.
Requirements: maybe include "FLSA: Full-time, Non-Exempt"? Actually that's more about job type, could be About the role. Requirements could include: education required, experience required, residency requirement, work authorization, background check, essential functions, maybe also "Staff must reside within WA", "use personal smart mobile device for MFA". Also "WSBA Staff must be authorized to work in the United States on a permanent basis, upon hire. This position is not eligible for Sponsorship." Also "WSBA administers pre-employment background screening upon a contingent verbal offer, and prior to hire." Also "The essential functions of the job that must be performed, with or without a reasonable accommodation: This position must be able to regularly work WSBA’s business hours in an office type environment (remote or in office), possess the ability to primarily sit/stand and use a computer, and lift/push/pull items weighing up to 25 pounds. Must be able to use standard computer and office equipment (e.g., copiers, scanners, printers, phones, fax, etc.)."
Qualifications: education preferred, experience preferred, maybe also "Police, military or civilian investigation training" and "Familiarity and experience with complex financial investigations and/or computer forensics" and "Exposure to wide range of legal matters, such as family law, criminal law, and immigration law."
Skills: competencies required and preferred (list). Could combine both required and preferred.
Benefits: list of benefits as described.
Pay: salary range $72,000 to $72,000 (so $72,000). Also mention Washington State Employee Benefits and Retirement Plans (but that's benefits). So Pay section just salary.
Schedule: maybe mention Hybrid within Washington State, full-time, maybe mention work hours? Not given specific schedule. Could include "Hybrid - Commutable position" and "Full-time". But schedule heading maybe for work schedule details like "Full-time, Hybrid". Since we have no explicit schedule like "Monday-Friday 9-5". We could still include schedule: Full-time, Hybrid within Washington State. However we must not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does state "Work Location: Hybrid within Washington State" and "FLSA: Full-time, Non-Exempt". That's about schedule (full-time). So we can include Schedule section with "Full-time, Hybrid within Washington State". That seems acceptable.
Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, scam warning, application instructions, duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, etc. Also remove "For consideration and to apply:" etc. Also remove "WSBA is committed to fostering a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer." etc. Also remove "The statements contained in this job announcement are not necessarily all-inclusive; additional duties may be assigned, and requirements may vary from time to time." That's boilerplate? Might be considered generic but it's still part of posting. However it's not substantive about the job; it's a disclaimer. Likely we should remove as it's generic boilerplate. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The disclaimer about additional duties may be considered boilerplate but not explicitly listed. Safer to remove.
Also remove "Washington State Bar Association (WSBA) Compensation Philosophy and Compensation Grid PI287326800" at end - that's likely boilerplate/reference.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll produce something like:
