Library Media Technician, 8 - 40 hours per week
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we must not repeat job title as heading. We need to decide which sections have content.
From posting: Job Summary, Job Description/Essential Elements, Representative Duties (Essential Duties, Other Duties), Knowledge And Abilities, Education And Experience, Environment (Working Conditions, Physical Demands), Requirements/Qualifications, Comments And Other Information (non-discrimination policy etc). We need to remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. So we should drop Comments And Other Information (non-discrimination policy) as boilerplate. Also drop any duplicated lines.
We need to preserve substantive info: job summary, duties, knowledge/abilities, education/experience, environment (working conditions, physical demands), requirements/qualifications.
We need to map to allowed headings: About the role (could be job summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (maybe qualifications), Qualifications (maybe education/experience?), Skills (knowledge/abilities), Benefits (none), Pay (none), Schedule (maybe hours? The posting says "The current vacancy is 16 hours per week split between 2 schools." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that detail. Benefits not present, Pay not present.
We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So only include sections where we have real content.
Thus sections:
- About the role: from Job Summary (maybe also Basic Function). We'll combine.
- Responsibilities: from Representative Duties (Essential Duties and Other Duties). We'll list as - .
- Skills: from Knowledge And Abilities (knowledge and abilities). Could be list.
- Requirements / Qualifications: we have both Requirements/Qualifications and Education And Experience. Could combine into Requirements section? But we have separate allowed headings: Requirements and Qualifications. We could put Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (graduation from high school and one year experience). Qualifications: Education And Experience (any combination equivalent to graduation from high school and one year of formal or informal library experience). Actually they are similar. Might be redundant. Better to put Requirements: Minimum Qualifications. Qualifications: Education And Experience. Or combine into one section? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But we have two allowed headings; we could use only one if content fits. Could use "Requirements" to include both minimum quals and education/experience. Let's do that.
- Schedule: from job summary: 16 hours per week split between 2 schools.
We must not include Benefits or Pay.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must use
for each section heading.
We must use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits.
We must use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details from duties list etc. Must not omit any duty. That's a lot. We need to include all duties as list items. Could be long but okay.
We need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines. The posting has some repetition: "Perform technical library media center functions at an assigned school site;" appears multiple times. We need to deduplicate? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." It doesn't explicitly say we must keep duplicates; but we should avoid duplicated lines as per "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove duplicated lines. So we need to deduplicate the duties list.
Let's extract duties from Representative Duties ESSENTIAL DUTIES and Other Duties.

The instruction says remove duplicated lines. So we should merge similar ones. Let's create a set of unique duty statements.
