Librarian III
for each section. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include description (About the role) maybe summarizing the first paragraph: "This is an advanced professional library position with supervisory and managerial responsibility in a variety of library operations. Employees in this class are responsible for overseeing the operations of a specialized library department or facility. Responsibilities require supervising staff, implementing collection development policy, providing staff development and training. Position will require a variety of administrative duties. General supervision is received from a higher-level administrator who reviews work for achievement of desired goals and objectives."
That's About the role.
Responsibilities: list of duties from "Examples of Duties". Should include each bullet as
- . Ensure we include all duties listed.
Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications? The instruction says we can have Requirements and Qualifications sections. We need to decide what goes where. Usually Requirements = minimum qualifications, Qualifications = preferred or supplemental? But we can split: Requirements = Minimum Qualifications (Master's degree, three years experience). Qualifications = Preferred (graduate degree from ALA accredited MLS/MLIS, three+ years post-graduate work in public library services). Also Supplemental Information could be Skills (knowledge, abilities). So we can have Skills section for knowledge and abilities.
Thus:
- About the role (p)
- Responsibilities (ul)
- Requirements (ul) for minimum qualifications
- Qualifications (ul) for preferred qualifications
- Skills (ul) for supplemental knowledge and abilities
- Schedule (p) for nights and weekends.
We must not include empty sections.
Check for any duplicated lines: we should not repeat.

Make sure to use proper escaping? Not needed.

- Work is predominately indoors with some outreach and outdoor programming.

- May involve extended periods of time sedentary work at a desk and or extensive periods of standing and walking.
- Ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously and use good judgment in prioritizing work assignments, including the ability to ensure accurate and efficient completion of assignments.
- Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the position.
- Applicants who demonstrate they meet the minimum requirements may be subject to an extensive selection process and screening program, which may include, but not be limited to, evaluation of education, training and experience; oral interview(s); background investigation; reference checks; medical evaluation; controlled substance screening.
- Preference will be given to certain veterans, spouses of veterans, or unmarried widows/widowers of veteran. Proof of veterans' eligibility must be provided at time of application.
- EOE M/F/D/V.
- Applicants with disabilities who desire special accommodation MUST notify the Human Resources Department at the time of application.
- All applications must be submitted through the City of North Miami Beach's applicant portal hosted by governmentjobs.com. Applications submitted elsewhere are not eligible for consideration.
But note: Some of these are boilerplate (EEO, application instructions). The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove EEO line, veteran preference? That might be considered EEO? It's about veteran preference; might be considered EEO? The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. The veteran preference line is likely part of EEO. Also "Applicants with disabilities who desire special accommodation MUST notify the Human Resources Department at the time of application." That's accommodation instruction, maybe considered application instruction? It's about accommodation request; could be considered application instruction? Might be borderline but likely considered application instruction. Also "All applications must be submitted through the City of North Miami Beach's applicant portal hosted by governmentjobs.com. Applications submitted elsewhere are not eligible for consideration." That's application instruction, should be removed.
Also "Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the position." That's a statement about accommodation, maybe keep? It's not exactly boilerplate but it's a standard statement. Might be considered EEO? Not sure. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is about accommodation, could be considered EEO. Safer to remove? But it's substantive about accommodations. However the instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. The accommodation statement is often part of EEO. I'd remove it to be safe.
Also "Applicants who demonstrate they meet the minimum requirements may be subject to an extensive selection process and screening program, which may include, but not be limited to, evaluation of education, training and experience; oral interview(s); background investigation; reference checks; medical evaluation; controlled substance screening." That's procedural info, maybe keep? It's not EEO. It's about selection process. Could be considered application instructions? It's about what will happen after application. Might be considered part of application process. The instruction says remove application instructions. This is about selection process, not exactly how to apply. Might be okay to keep. But to be safe, maybe keep as it's substantive about process.
We need to decide what to keep in Skills section. We'll keep knowledge and abilities, but remove the EEO, veteran preference, accommodation request, application submission instruction.
Thus Skills section bullets: knowledge items, ability items, physical requirements, work environment, ability to handle multiple projects, selection process? Might be better to put selection process in Requirements? Not exactly. Could be a separate section "Selection Process" but not allowed headings list. We could include it under Requirements or Qualifications? Probably better to keep under Requirements as part of qualifications? But it's not a qualification. Might be better to omit it to avoid risk. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep it. Where to put? Could be under Requirements as a note. But it's not a requirement. Could be under Qualifications? Not exactly. Could be under Skills? Not exactly. Perhaps we can create a section "Selection Process" but not in allowed headings list. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings for sections; we could add other headings but they'd deviate from examples. Safer to stick to those headings. So we need to fit selection process somewhere. Could be under Requirements as a note: "Applicants who meet minimum requirements may be subject to extensive selection process..." That is a requirement about process. Might be okay.
Thus Requirements section will include both minimum qualifications and selection process note.
Now we need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines. Check for duplicates: none.
Now craft HTML.
We'll have:
