Library Assistant I/II - Extra-Help Library Assistant I

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the given posting. Content: - "Examples of Duties This recruitment is being established to obtain a current eligible list for both Full time and Extra-Help vacancies.

A message from the CEO" (likely boilerplate, maybe we drop as it's not substantive? It's a heading but no content; we should not include sections with filler. So we drop that. We also have pay info: Extra-Help pay is $19.80. Also mention Extra-Help limited to 25 hours per week, not entitled to county benefits. So we have Pay and Schedule info. Benefits: mention Extra-Help not entitled to county benefits. That's a benefit statement (lack thereof). Could include Benefits section? The posting says Extra-Help are not entitled to county benefits. That's a statement about benefits. So we could include Benefits section with that note. Schedule: Extra-Help limited to max 25 hours per week. Also full-time vacancies exist but not specified hours. So we have schedule info for Extra-Help. Could include Schedule section. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe a brief summary?), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements?), Skills (knowledge/abilities/typing), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each has substantive content. We have duties list: many bullet points. We have minimum qualifications: Library Assistant I and II experience, plus background check, driver's license. We have essential functions and knowledge/abilities/typing: could be Skills. We have pay: Extra-Help pay $19.80. We have schedule: Extra-Help max 25 hrs/week. We have benefits: Extra-Help not entitled to county benefits. We also have "Why Merced County?" which we drop. Thus we can create sections:

About the role

maybe a short paragraph summarizing: recruitment for full-time and extra-help library assistant positions. Could be derived from first sentence. That's substantive.

Responsibilities

with

• list of duties.

  Requirements

  maybe combine minimum qualifications and essential functions? But we have separate sections: Requirements (maybe experience) and Qualifications (maybe knowledge/abilities). However we must not duplicate. Could treat Requirements as experience and qualifications (background check, driver's license). Qualifications as knowledge, skills, abilities. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see content: Experience: Library Assistant I: 2 years clerical experience preferably library clerical; college coursework may substitute. Library Assistant II: 1 year experience equivalent to Library Assistant I. Background check: some positions subject to criminal history background check. Driver's license: some positions may require valid CA driver's license; employees who drive must possess license and meet insurability. That's requirements. Qualifications: Knowledge of computer applications for library services, books, sources, bibliographies, reference materials, classification systems; techniques for effective community services; organization/functions of public library; library policies and procedures. Ability to perform variety of library clerical work; assist patrons; research/locate materials using online catalog; establish/maintain effective working relationships; typing 40 wpm. Also essential functions: operate equipment, communicate, analyze data, perform under stress, maintain confidentiality, physical demands, regular attendance. Those could be Skills. Thus we can have:

  Requirements

  (experience, background check, driver's license)

  Skills

  (knowledge, abilities, essential functions, typing) Alternatively combine knowledge/abilities into Skills. We also have Pay and Schedule and Benefits. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Check each for substantive content. About the role: we can write a paragraph: "This recruitment is being established to obtain a current eligible list for both full-time and Extra-Help library assistant positions. Extra-Help employees are limited to a maximum of 25 hours per week and are not entitled to county benefits." That's derived. Responsibilities: list duties. Requirements: list experience, background check, driver's license. Skills: list knowledge, abilities, essential functions, typing. Benefits: note Extra-Help not entitled to county benefits (maybe also mention that full-time positions receive county benefits? Not stated). We'll just include that statement. Pay: Extra-Help pay $19.80 per hour? It says Extra-Help pay is $19.80. Likely per hour. We'll state that. Schedule: Extra-Help limited to max 25 hours per week; full-time positions presumably standard full-time (not specified). We'll include the Extra-Help schedule note. We must not invent or summarize away detail. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from the posting, not just summary. For duties we must list all bullet points exactly as given (or close). We must not omit any duty. Let's extract duties list: From text: "Duties may include, but are not limited to the following: Provide assistance to patrons in locating materials and instructs in the use of library materials, card and on-line catalogs. Process requests for books, or other materials through the Interlibrary Loan system. Explain library rules and procedures. Issue library cards. Processes returned books.
