for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. The posting includes some boilerplate like "Why Merced County? A message from the CEO" maybe not needed but it's substantive? It's a heading but no content given. Probably we can omit as it's just a placeholder. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we should not include "Why Merced County?" if no content.
Thus sections: Duties (maybe heading "Duties" or "Responsibilities"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose appropriate. The posting has "Examples of Duties" and then list. So we can use
Responsibilities
with list.
Then Minimum Qualifications: we can use Qualifications
with subheadings? But we need to keep structure simple: maybe Qualifications
then for prose and
for lists.
Essential Functions: could be Requirements
or Skills
. The essential functions list includes abilities, knowledge, etc. Could split into Knowledge and Ability. But we can combine under Requirements.
Pay: we have Extra-Help pay range. Also maybe full-time? Not given. So we can create Pay
with stating Extra-Help pay is $36.87 - $44.84 per hour.
Schedule: Extra-Help limited to max 25 hours per week. So
Schedule
with .
Benefits: Extra-Help not entitled to county benefits. So
Benefits
with stating that.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to preserve all substantive info: Duties list (many items). Minimum Qualifications for Clinician I and II. Essential Functions list (many). Knowledge and Ability lists.
We need to format as HTML fragment only.

We must not create sections with filler. All have content.
We'll output HTML like:
Responsibilities
- ...
...
Qualifications
... (maybe split into Clinician I and II)
We could also use for each sublist.
But the instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So for qualifications we have lists (education, registration, licensure, experience, license, out-of-state). We can make
.
Similarly for essential functions, knowledge, ability we can make under Requirements.

The instruction says we can use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can use Requirements for essential functions, Skills for knowledge and abilities? But knowledge and abilities are more like skills. Could put them under Skills.
