Legal Secretary

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Must include headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; fold minor metadata into short

  or drop it. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Job Category: Environmental Services/Zoning - Requisition Number: BUILD001357 (metadata) - Posted: August 31, 2026 - Location: CC Government Center 313 N Main St Center City, MN 55012, USA (duplicate) - Description: "Open until filled. $39.21 to $51.63 DOQ Performs difficult work conducting building inspections to ensure compliance with codes and regulations, reviewing plans for construction standards, issuing and filing notices and citations, completing required reports, and related work.

High School diploma or GED and extensive experience, or a combination of equivalent education and experience." - Title: Building Inspector (not heading) - Updated: 08/2026 - Department: Environmental Services - Reports to: Building Official - Position Status: Full-Time; Appointed; Government Center Professionals Union - Job Location: Chisago County Government Center, Center City, MN - Position Objective: repeats description. - Essential Functions: list of duties (many bullet-like sentences). We need to extract as list items. - Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities: list of knowledge/skills. - Desired Minimum Qualifications: High School diploma or GED and extensive experience, or a combination of equivalent education and experience. - Special Qualifications: Valid driver’s license in the State of Minnesota. Must be able to assess job and construction site safety and walk and traverse across varied terrain and unfinished job site and building conditions. Must hold current Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry certification as Building Official Limited. Inspector’s Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems Individual Certification from the State of Minnesota or ability to obtain future certification preferred but not required. - Tools and Equipment Used: list. - Working Conditions: description. - Then there is a block about application process etc (boilerplate) to remove. - Also there is "Qualifications 0" style... etc. Those appear empty; ignore. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe a brief summary), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (knowledge, skills, abilities, qualifications), Qualifications (maybe separate?), Skills (maybe part of requirements), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Pay: "$39.21 to $51.63 DOQ". That's pay range. So we can create a Pay section with that. Schedule: Position Status: Full-Time; Appointed; Government Center Professionals Union. So schedule is Full-Time. Could create Schedule section with Full-Time. Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly. No benefits details. So we should NOT create Benefits section. We need to include About the role: maybe a short paragraph summarizing role. Could use the description paragraph. Responsibilities: list of essential functions. Requirements: maybe combine knowledge, skills, abilities, special qualifications, tools, working conditions? But we need to follow instruction: Use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have separate sections: Responsibilities (list), Requirements (list), Skills (list), Qualifications (list). However we should avoid thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. Could combine knowledge, skills, abilities into Requirements, and special qualifications etc also into Requirements. Tools and equipment maybe also Requirements? Or could be separate Skills? But we can decide. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we must include all details: pay, location, department, reports to, position status, essential functions (list), knowledge/skills/abilities (list), desired minimum qualifications, special qualifications, tools and equipment, working conditions. We need to avoid boilerplate: EEO, application instructions, etc. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's structure:

    About the role

    But we also have pay and schedule separate. Maybe About the role includes location, department, reports to? Could include. But we must not repeat job title. Let's include location, department, reports to, position status in About the role as part of paragraph or separate

    . Better: About the role paragraph summarizing role and key details. Then Responsibilities

    Responsibilities

    with
    • each essential function. Then Requirements

      Requirements

      with
      • covering knowledge, skills, abilities, desired minimum qualifications, special qualifications, tools and equipment, working conditions? Might be too many but okay. Alternatively separate Skills

        Skills

        for knowledge, skills, abilities list. Qualifications

        Qualifications

        for desired minimum qualifications and special qualifications. But we need to avoid thin sections; maybe combine knowledge, skills, abilities and desired minimum qualifications into Requirements, and special qualifications, tools, working conditions into Requirements as well.
