We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use

for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: - Intro about emergency response, call down system, etc. That could be "About the role" maybe? Actually it's about the division responsibilities. Could be "About the role" or "Job summary". We'll use "About the role". - Essential functions list: many duties. That's responsibilities. - Knowledge, skills, abilities: that's skills/qualifications. - Education/experience requirements: qualifications. - Additional requirements: defensive driving, essential/situational, irregular hours. - Physical requirements: maybe part of responsibilities or separate? Could be "Physical Requirements" but not in allowed headings list; we only allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content to those headings. Physical requirements could go under Responsibilities or Requirements? Probably under Responsibilities (as part of job duties). Or we could create a separate section not allowed? The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should use those headings when appropriate. It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. We'll stick to those. Thus we need sections: - About the role: includes emergency response, call down system, staff accessibility, modification of work hours, etc. - Responsibilities: essential functions list (nutrition counseling, breastfeeding promotion, prescribing food package, etc.) - Qualifications: education/experience requirements (Master's or Bachelor's plus experience, RD, LDN, driver's license) - Skills: knowledge, skills, abilities list (knowledge of laws, population served, nutrition guidelines, computer hardware/software, educational methods, WIC regulations, skills assessing patients, developing/implementing/motivating, instructing, documenting, utilizing databases, establishing rapport, establishing working relationships, communicating orally/written) - Requirements: maybe additional requirements (defensive driving, essential/situational, irregular hours, on-call coverage, physical requirements, etc.) Could also include physical requirements. - Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not present, so omit. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We must preserve all substantive information. Ensure we don't omit any details. We need to format lists with
  • . For prose use

    . We must remove boilerplate: EEO statement, legal, navigation, cookie, etc. At end there is EEO statement; we should remove that. Also remove "ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: This job description is not designed to cover..." maybe that's boilerplate but it's substantive? It's a disclaimer about duties may change; could be considered boilerplate but it's still part of job description. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The "ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: This job description is not designed to cover..." is not exactly legal but could be considered boilerplate. However it's about the job description not being comprehensive; might be considered generic. Safer to remove? The instruction says remove legal/EEO etc. This is not EEO. It's a generic disclaimer. Might be considered boilerplate but not explicitly listed. I'd keep it? Might be considered part of the job description but not essential. I'd keep it under Responsibilities? Actually it's a note about the job description. Could be placed under Responsibilities as a note. But it's not a duty. Might be better to omit as it's not substantive about the role. I'd omit. Also remove "Any overtime hours offered in this position are not guaranteed, are an estimate, and are subject to change." That's about overtime; could be considered part of Schedule? But we don't have schedule section. Could be placed under Requirements? It's about overtime not guaranteed. Might be considered part of Schedule but we don't have schedule. Could be omitted as it's not a benefit/pay/schedule detail? It's about overtime; maybe we could include under Requirements as a note. But the instruction says only include sections when posting has real specific content; we could include a short paragraph under Requirements about overtime not guaranteed. However it's not a requirement but a note. I'd include it under Requirements as a note. Also "All positions within Hamilton County Government are considered work in-person and require regular and punctual attendance." That's a requirement. "All positions within Hamilton County Government may require work on Holidays or weekends. Additionally, irregular hours and shift work may be required, including possible extension of shift hours, at times with short notice." That's schedule info; we could put under Schedule if we had schedule section, but we don't have schedule because not explicitly stated? Actually it is stated: irregular hours, holidays, weekends, shift work. That is schedule info. The instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting does state schedule info (irregular hours, holidays, weekends). So we should include a Schedule section. Good. Similarly, Benefits: not mentioned. Pay: not mentioned. So we omit Benefits and Pay. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Requirements, Schedule. Now we need to extract content. About the role: The Hamilton County Health & Social Services Division has a responsibility to respond quickly and efficiently when public health emergencies occur. All employees responsible for ensuring contact info current and accessible. Division maintains call down system to store contact info and mobilize staff. During emergency, all staff required to respond should a call to mobilize be made. Work hours subject to modification to meet community needs. We'll put that in

Also earlier sentence: "Under general supervision, provides WIC services related to certification, nutrition education, risk assessment, and food package selection." That's also a responsibility. We'll include as first bullet. Thus responsibilities list includes that. Qualifications: Education/experience requirements: - A Master’s Degree in Nutrition with at least one (1) year of direct work experience in the field of nutrition. Must be a Registered Dietitian credentialed by the Commission on Dietetic Registration with a current LDN license issued by the Tennessee Board of Dietitians and Nutritionist Examiners.

Note there is a typo "effecting" but we keep as is. We'll combine knowledge and skills into one
        maybe separate headings? But we only have Skills section; we can include both knowledge and skills as list items. Requirements: Additional requirements: - Prior to operating a County-owned vehicle, all employees are required to complete the HC Defensive Driving course and/or an Emergency Vehicle Operations Course (EVOC) provided at the department level. - This position is deemed essential/situational during inclement weather situations and must report to or remain at work, even when administrative closings are announced, as determined by the Department Head. - Work may require irregular hours when providing on-call coverage and/or responding to public health threats or emergencies, as determined by the Department Head. - Physical requirements: Work requires contact with high-risk populations in a public health setting with possible exposure to infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and hepatitis while counseling patients. Work may be required outside of regular work hours. - All positions within Hamilton County Government are considered work in-person and require regular and punctual attendance. - All positions within Hamilton County Government may require work on Holidays or weekends. Additionally, irregular hours and shift work may be required, including possible extension of shift hours, at times with short notice. - Any overtime hours offered in this position are not guaranteed, are an estimate, and are subject to change. We could also include the earlier statement about work hours modification (already in About the role). But we can keep. Schedule: Irregular hours, holidays, weekends, shift work, possible extension of shift hours, short notice. Also mention work may be required outside regular work hours (already in Physical requirements). We'll put schedule specifics. We need to avoid duplication. We'll keep schedule section with: Work may require irregular hours when providing on-call coverage and/or responding to public health threats or emergencies, as determined by the Department Head. Work may be required outside of regular work hours. All positions may require work on Holidays or weekends. Additionally, irregular hours and shift work may be required, including possible extension of shift hours, at times with short notice. We must not repeat content verbatim across sections? It's okay if some overlap but we should try to avoid duplication. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can repeat if needed but better to distribute. Let's allocate: About the role: emergency response, call down system, staff accessibility, work hours subject to modification. Responsibilities: essential functions list. Qualifications: education/experience options. Skills: knowledge and skills list. Requirements: defensive driving/EVOC, essential/situational inclement weather, physical requirements (contact with high-risk populations, exposure to infectious diseases, work outside regular hours), in-person regular attendance, overtime not guaranteed. Schedule: irregular hours for on-call/public health emergencies, work outside regular hours (maybe duplicate), holidays/weekends, shift work, possible extension of shift hours short notice. We might combine "work may be required outside of regular work hours" appears in both Requirements and Schedule; we can keep in Schedule and mention in Requirements only physical exposure. Let's adjust. Requirements: defensive driving/EVOC, essential/situational inclement weather,
