We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invented summary. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions (like email recruiter, visit webpage). Also remove duplicated lines. We need to parse the job description. Key content: - Intro: "Are you interested in fighting Medicaid fraud ... The Division of Medi-Cal Fraud and Elder Abuse (DMFEA), the Department of Justice’s fastest growing Division, is seeking a Deputy Attorney General (DAG) in its Civil Section." - Duties: list of duties: "independently develop strategic case plans; litigate state FCA violations and other violations of California's Medi-Cal program; manage and shepherd investigations; handle informal and formal document-intensive and data-driven discovery; identify, interview, and evaluate witnesses; perform legal research in the areas of health care fraud and False Claims Act law; guide paralegals and investigative auditors; analyze claims data and develop damage models; communicate effectively orally and in writing; and coordinate enforcement efforts with multidisciplinary teams involving personnel from other state agencies, states' Attorneys General's offices, U.S. Attorney's Offices, and other federal offices in joint investigations and actions." - Experience: "Experience in and/or knowledge of the Medi-Cal Program, the health care and pharmaceutical industries, health care fraud, managed care, and FCA litigation is helpful but not required." - A successful applicant will have a demonstrated ability to perform assignments consisting of the more complex and sensitive legal work of the Office of the Attorney General. - While the DAG will handle their own caseload, they will be a member of a small team of attorneys, paralegals and secretaries and would interact with their team regularly, and may act as the lead attorney in certain matters. - Work posture: "Unless case work, operational needs, or other circumstances require, the current work posture involves 1-2 set days per week in the office, with the remaining 3-4 days done via telework. The office is located in Mission Valley at Highway 163, and offers ample free parking." - Additional info: "You will find additional information about the job in the Duty Statement." - Position Details: Job Code, Position #, Working Title, Classification, Salary ranges, etc. We need to include Pay section if actual salary info present. There's salary range: "DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL IV $11,993.00 - $16,096.00". Also mention HAM starting salaries: "Deputy Attorney General III (5 years): $12,046", "Deputy Attorney General IV (6+ years): $13,313", "Deputy Attorney General V (lateral only): $14,051". Also mention "New to State candidates will be hired into the minimum salary of the classification or minimum of alternate range when applicable." Also "Shall Consider DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL III $10,852.00 - $15,325.00 DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL V $12,659.00 - $16,883.00". So we have pay details. - # of Positions: 1 - Work Location: San Diego County - Telework Hybrid - Job Type Permanent, Full Time - Work Week Monday-Friday - Department Information: location in Division of Medi-Cal Fraud and Elder Abuse, Civil Section - San Diego. - Hire Above Minimum policy etc. - Personal Leave Program info (temporary wage reductions) - maybe not needed as it's boilerplate? It's specific but maybe considered benefits? It's about PLP. Might be considered benefits but it's more of a note. Could include in Benefits? But it's not a benefit; it's a program. Might be considered boilerplate? It's specific to state employees. Might be considered not essential. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Personal Leave Program is not exactly those but could be considered HR policy; maybe keep if it's substantive. However it's about temporary wage reductions; might be considered not a benefit but a policy. Could be omitted as not core job description. Safer to omit. - Benefits of working for the State of California: list: Work-life balance, 11 paid holidays, Flexible paid leave options, Consistent wage increases, Pension retirement, Job stability, Health/Dental/Vision Insurance, Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) and more! That's substantive benefits. Thus sections we can include: - About the role (intro paragraph) - Responsibilities (duties list) - Requirements (maybe experience/knowledge helpful but not required, plus demonstrated ability to perform complex legal work) - Qualifications (maybe classification levels? Could combine with Requirements) - Skills (maybe legal research, communication, case planning, data analysis, team coordination) - Benefits (state benefits list) - Pay (salary ranges and HAM starting salaries) - Schedule (work posture: 1-2 days office, 3-4 telework, location, work week Monday-Friday, permanent full-time) We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Medicaid Fraud Attorney – Civil Litigation". Use headings like

About the role

, etc. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can drop Job Code, Position # etc. But we need to preserve all substantive information; dropping them might lose info. However they said "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include them in a paragraph, not as heading. So we can include a short paragraph with Job Code, Position #, Working Title, Classification maybe. But we already have sections for About the role etc. Could add a

after intro with those details. But we must not repeat job title as heading; we can include it in paragraph. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the salary ranges, the HAM starting salaries, the work location, telework hybrid, work week, job type, number of positions, department info, etc. We must not include boilerplate like "Please disregard the SROA/Surplus language below", "For more information about the department, please visit the Attorney General’s website", "If you'd like to speak with a recruiter prior to submitting your application, please email Recruiters@doj.ca.gov", "Please visit our webpage: Become a DOJ Deputy Attorney General | State of California - Department of Justice - Office of the Attorney General". Those are application instructions; remove. Also remove "Personal Leave Program" maybe not needed but it's not boilerplate; it's a specific policy. Could keep but it's not a benefit; maybe we can include in Benefits? But it's about temporary wage reductions, not a benefit. Might be considered not essential; but we need to preserve ALL substantive information. However the instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Personal Leave Program is not those; it's a specific HR program. Might be considered substantive. But it's about temporary wage reductions; could be considered part of Benefits? It's not a benefit but a program. Might be okay to keep in a separate paragraph under Benefits? But we have Benefits section for state benefits; we could add a note about PLP there. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine PLP into Benefits section as a note. But we need to be careful not to invent or summarize away detail. We can keep the exact sentences. Let's extract substantive info: Intro paragraph: "Are you interested in fighting Medicaid fraud committed by hospitals, pharmaceuticals, pharmacies, nursing facilities, medical equipment providers, and other healthcare providers and recovering millions of taxpayers’ dollars?
