We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Job Title: Microbiologist II, I FT / PT Status – Full-time (but we ignore title heading)
- Benefits Eligibility – Yes
- Salary – $29.01 - $43.60
- Remote Work / In-Office – In-Office
- Recruiter – Christa Rowland | crowlan@utah.gov | 801-538-4826
- Application Deadline – 10-2 -26 (maybe Oct 2 2026?) but we drop application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should drop recruiter contact and deadline? It says "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So recruiter contact and deadline are application instructions? Probably yes. So we drop them.
- Job Description: includes details about role, sections: Dairy Section, Meat Section, Specialized Products Section, plus mention of Utah Medical Cannabis Act acknowledgment.
- Key Responsibilities: list bullet points.
- Qualifications: Minimum or "day-one" qualifications: list bullet points.
- Preferred Or Trainable/on-the-job Qualifications: list bullet points.
- About The Role: Location – 4451 S 2700 W, Taylorsville; Background Check Required – Yes; Drug Test Required – No; Schedule Code – B
- Why You Should Join Our Team: Benefits paragraph with bullet list: Job Stability, Career Growth, Meaningful Work, Supportive Work Environment.
- Also earlier: Benefits Eligibility – Yes.
- Pay: Salary range given.
- Schedule: maybe Schedule Code – B (but not descriptive). Could we infer schedule? Not given. Might not include Schedule section unless specific content. The posting includes "Schedule Code – B" but not actual schedule like full-time, shift etc. It says Full-time earlier. So we have full-time status. Could we create a Schedule section with "Full-time"? The posting says "FT / PT Status – Full-time". That's specific. So we can include Schedule section with Full-time.
- Benefits: we have Benefits Eligibility – Yes and the "Why You Should Join Our Team" benefits list. Also earlier "Benefits In Utah, we believe hard work is important, but balance is essential." So we have benefits content.
Thus sections we can include:
- About the role (location, background check, drug test, schedule? maybe schedule separate)
- Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities)
- Requirements (maybe combine Minimum qualifications and Preferred? Could separate Qualifications and Skills? The instruction says use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where.
We have:
- Qualifications: Minimum/day-one qualifications (education, knowledge, abilities). That's qualifications.
- Preferred Or Trainable/on-the-job Qualifications: could be Skills? Or could be additional qualifications. We could put under Qualifications as well, but we have separate headings for Qualifications and Skills. Perhaps we put minimum qualifications under Qualifications, and preferred/trainable under Skills.
- Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities.
- Requirements: maybe the "Minimum or day-one qualifications" could be considered Requirements. But we already have Qualifications. The instruction says use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Might be overlapping but we need to follow. We could put the mandatory qualifications under Requirements, and the preferred under Skills? Or we could put education/knowledge under Requirements, and abilities under Skills. Let's think.
Better: Use Requirements for the mandatory day-one qualifications (education, knowledge, ability to adhere, ability to execute essential lab operations, time-management etc). Use Skills for the preferred/trainable qualifications (hands-on experience with techniques, proficiency in calculations, familiarity with ISO 17025, GLP, LIMS). Use Qualifications maybe for education? But we already used education in Requirements. Hmm.
Alternatively, we could combine: Requirements = mandatory qualifications; Qualifications = education/degree; Skills = preferred. But we need to avoid duplication.
Let's read the posting: "Minimum or "day-one" qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Microbiology, biology, chemistry, or a closely related scientific field. Knowledge of chemical and microbiological terminology and safety standards. Ability to adhere strictly to established laboratory safety guidelines, SOPs, and regulatory standards. Ability to execute essential laboratory operations, including temperature tracking, solution preparation, data entry and reporting, and equipment maintenance. Strong time-management, communication, and collaborative teamwork abilities."
That's a set of qualifications.
"Preferred Or Trainable/on-the-job Qualifications: Hands-on experience with microbiological techniques, including plate counts, qPCR, and culture isolation. Proficiency in laboratory calculations for reagent preparations and sample dilutions. Familiarity with ISO 17025 standards, GLP, and laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS)."
Thus we could map:
- Requirements: the mandatory day-one qualifications (maybe include education and abilities).
- Qualifications: maybe the education requirement? But that's already in Requirements. Could we instead put education under Qualifications and the abilities under Requirements? The instruction says use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't say we must use all; we can omit sections lacking real content. So we could have:
- About the role (location, background check, drug test, schedule? maybe schedule separate)
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (mandatory qualifications)
- Qualifications (maybe education? but we already have education in Requirements; maybe we could put education under Qualifications and keep Requirements for abilities? But then we duplicate education. Better to keep Requirements as the mandatory qualifications (including education) and omit Qualifications section if no distinct content. But we have preferred qualifications that could be Skills.
Thus sections:
- About the role
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (mandatory day-one qualifications)
- Skills (preferred/trainable qualifications)
- Benefits
- Pay
- Schedule
Check if we have content for each:
About the role: location, background check required yes, drug test required no, schedule code B? Also FT/PT status full-time. We'll include location, background check, drug test, schedule (full-time). Could also mention "In-Office" from remote work line. That's about work location. So About the role can include: location, work setting (In-Office), background check required, drug test not required, schedule (full-time). That's substantive.
Responsibilities: we have bullet list.
Requirements: mandatory day-one qualifications bullet list.
Skills: preferred/trainable qualifications bullet list.
Benefits: we have benefits eligibility yes and the "Why You Should Join Our Team" benefits list (Job Stability, Career Growth, Meaningful Work, Supportive Work Environment). Also maybe mention "Benefits In Utah, we believe hard work is important, but balance is essential." We'll include that as prose.
Pay: salary range $29.01 - $43.60.
Schedule: we have FT/PT status Full-time; also schedule code B but not descriptive. We'll put Full-time.
Now we need to format with

Now we need to format with headings, - for lists,
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No markdown.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc.
We must not include application instructions (recruiter, deadline). Remove duplicated lines (the Utah Medical Cannabis Act appears twice; we need to keep only one instance? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove duplicated lines. So we should include the Utah Medical Cannabis Act acknowledgment only once.
Where does that belong? It's part of job description/duties. Could be included under Responsibilities or About the role? It's a duty: "As a condition of employment, candidates who are selected to fill this position will be required to sign an Acceptance of Duties Under the Medical Cannabis Act Acknowledgment Form." That's a duty/responsibility. So we can add a bullet under Responsibilities: "Sign Acceptance of Duties Under the Medical Cannabis Act Acknowledgment Form as a condition of employment." Also include the statement about duties may require conduct violating federal law regarding cannabis. That's also a duty. So we can incorporate.
Thus Responsibilities list will include that.
Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "EEO Statement". Remove.
Now produce HTML.
