Local Government Auditor Staff Specialist

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc as headings; can fold minor metadata into short p or drop. We need to extract substantive info: The posting includes description of work, responsibilities, minimum qualifications, preferred qualifications, physical requirements, additional requirements, benefits, pay (salary range), schedule (work shift, days of work, travel required, telework eligible). Also location, etc. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, navigation, cookie, legal, application instructions (How To Apply, Contact, etc). Also remove duplicated lines. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Schedule sections only if posting actually states them. It does state salary range and work shift/hours, days of work, travel required, telework eligible. So we can include Pay and Schedule sections. Benefits: there is a Benefits section with details. So include Benefits. About the role: there is a paragraph describing work you'll do, mission, etc. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the role" heading. We'll include. Responsibilities: there is description of responsibilities: leading planning and reporting, independently completing audit areas, directing less experienced auditors. Also maybe "The work you'll do..." but we can separate. Requirements: maybe combine minimum qualifications and preferred qualifications? The instructions: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what to put where. Likely "Requirements" for minimum qualifications, "Qualifications" for preferred qualifications, "Skills" for knowledge/skills (like GAAP, etc). But we can also combine. We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each heading has substantive content. Let's parse content: - About the role: "The work you'll do is more than just a job.

After an initial training period in the office, the LGA Staff Specialist is expected to report to the OSA's Duluth office or an assigned client location a minimum of one day per week.

We must not include application instructions, contact info, etc. We must not include EEO boilerplate. Thus final HTML: sections:

but that's minor metadata; we can include as a short p. We must not repeat job title as heading. Good. Check for any duplicated lines: ensure we don't repeat. Now produce HTML fragment only. Let's craft content precisely. About the role paragraph: combine the two paragraphs: "The work you'll do is more than just a job.
