LAB ANIMAL CARE TECH I
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- About the University of Georgia (description)
- About The College/Unit/Department (description)
- Posting Type, Retirement Plan, Employment Type, Benefits Eligibility, Full/Part time, Work Schedule, Additional Schedule Information, Advertised Salary, Posting Date, Open until filled, Closing Date, Proposed Starting Date, Special Instructions to Applicants, Location of Vacancy, EEO Policy Statement (boilerplate), USG Core Values Statement (boilerplate), Position Information (Classification Title, FLSA, FTE), Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Summary, Preferred Qualifications, Position Summary, Knowledge, Skills, Abilities And/or Competencies, Physical Demands, etc.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, USG Core Values, maybe some generic statements like "The University of Georgia is an Equal Opportunity employer..." That's boilerplate, remove. Also "USG Core Values Statement" remove. Also "Special Instructions to Applicants" maybe not needed? It's generic? It says "Location of Vacancy Athens Area". That's location info. Could be included as a short p.
We need to include sections like About the role? Not present. Could combine "About the University of Georgia" and "About The College/Unit/Department" into an "About the role" or "About the department"? But instructions: use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should map content to these headings where appropriate.
We have:
- Responsibilities: Duties/Responsibilities sections (with percentages). Should be under
Responsibilities
with - items.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (High school diploma or equivalent and 2 years of related experience). Also maybe Preferred Qualifications? Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says we can have Requirements, Qualifications, Skills sections. We need to decide.
We have "Minimum Qualifications" and "Preferred Summary Preferred Qualifications". Also "Knowledge, Skills, Abilities And/or Competencies". That's skills.
We have "Physical Demands" maybe could be under Requirements or a separate section? Not in list but we could include under Requirements or maybe as part of Responsibilities? Probably better to include under Requirements as it's a requirement.
We have "Advertised Salary 35,880" => Pay section.
We have "Work Schedule Additional Schedule Information Monday – Friday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Additional hours may be scheduled as needed at the supervisor’s discretion. Potential for holiday and weekend hours" => Schedule section.
We have "Benefits Eligibility Benefits Eligible Full/Part time Full Time" => Benefits section? It says Benefits Eligible. Could include Benefits section with that info.
We have "Posting Type External Retirement Plan TRS Employment Type Employee Benefits Eligibility Benefits Eligible Full/Part time Full Time". Might be metadata; we could fold into a short p or drop. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we could include a short paragraph with posting details like Posting Number, Department, etc. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep substantive info like department, location, salary, schedule, benefits eligibility, etc. Minor metadata like Posting Number, Posting Date, Open until filled, Closing Date, Proposed Starting Date maybe could be dropped? But they are substantive? The instruction says fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we could include a short p with those details.
We need to remove duplicated lines and boilerplate.
Let's extract substantive content:

- Duties/Responsibilities (already captured in Position Summary? Actually there is a separate Duties/Responsibilities section with percentages. We need to include that as Responsibilities.)
- Contact Information etc (maybe minor)
We need to produce sections: About the role? Could combine About the University and About the College/Unit/Department into an "About the role" or "About the department". But the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should include sections that have real content.
We have content for:
- About the role: we could put the University and College description under About the role (or About the department). Might be acceptable.
- Responsibilities: the Duties/Responsibilities with percentages.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (High school diploma or equivalent and 2 years of related experience). Also maybe FTE, FLSA? Could be included.

We also have Position Information: Classification Title Animal Care Technician II, FLSA Non-Exempt, FTE 1.00. Could be included in Requirements or a short p.
We also have Security Access Yes (maybe include in Requirements? Not typical). Could be a short p.

We could fold those into a short p at top: "Posting Number S15787P, Department VPR-Animal Resources, Location Athens Area, Full-time, FTE 1.00, FLSA Non-Exempt." But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; we can't drop substantive info like location, department, etc. So we need to keep them somewhere.
We could create a short paragraph at the start:
Posting Number S15787P – LAB ANIMAL CARE TECH I, Department VPR-Animal Resources, Location Athens Area, Full-time (FTE 1.00), FLSA Non-Exempt.
That captures posting number, title, department, location, employment type, FTE, FLSA.
Then we can have About the role section with the University and College descriptions.
Then Responsibilities section with duties.
Then Requirements section with Minimum Qualifications.
Then Skills section with Knowledge, Skills, Abilities.
Then Benefits section with Benefits Eligible, Retirement
