Office Assistant 2 (NY Helps)
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, legal, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
Let's parse the posting:
- Duties Description Construction season duties: Review and certification of Automated Work Zone Speed Enforcement (AWZSE) photos provided by the AWZSE vendor. Quality Assurance of AWZSE vendor’s Notice of Liabilities. Gathering of photos and/or information for Main Office or Regional Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests Supervision and Training of AWZSE Unit’s Office Assistant 1 staff responsible for the certification of speed violation photos. Construction Off Season Duties Clerical support for the Residency, Bridge Maintenance, Traffic Signals Unit, the TMC, and/or the Regional Office. Work in support of these areas may include: Data entry Filing Processing mail Answering telephones and other related clerical activities. Responsibilities may include serving a role within the Incident Command System to support the department’s response to regional and statewide emergency situations.
Thus we have duties/responsibilities.
- Minimum Qualifications: This title is part of the New York Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement Statewide Program (NY HELPS). Qualifications: To be considered for appointment through NY HELPS, or 55 b/c, candidates must meet the minimum qualifications for this position. The qualifications are: Promotional: One year of permanent competitive or 55-b/55-c service as an office assistant, clerical, or keyboarding title allocated to Grade 6 or higher. Qualifying titles are available at: https://www.cs.ny.gov/examannouncements/announcements/38687titles.cfm Open Competitive: One year of clerical experience. Candidates may also be qualified for permanent competitive appointment if reachable from the appropriate Civil Service eligible list or eligible for reassignment or transfer in accordance with Civil Service Law. If there are three or fewer qualified candidates interested in appointment to this position a permanent appointment may be made pursuant to Section 52.7 of the Civil Service Law. To be eligible, candidates must be an employee of the Department of Transportation and have one year of permanent competitive service as an Office Assistant 1, SG-06. Additional Comments **Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis.** For the duration of the NY HELPS Program, this title may be filled via a non-competitive appointment, which means no examination is required but all candidates must meet the minimum qualifications of the title for which they apply. At a future date, it is expected employees hired under NY HELPS will have their non-competitive employment status converted to competitive status, without having to compete in an examination. Employees will then be afforded with all of the same rights and privileges of competitive class employees of New York State. While serving permanently in an NY HELPS title, employees may take part in any promotion examination for which they are qualified. The salary range listed reflects the full range for this graded position. For new State employees appointed into graded positions, the annual salary is the hiring rate (beginning of the Salary Range) of the position. Promotion salaries are calculated by the NYS Office of the State Comptroller in accordance with NYS Civil Service Law, OSC Payroll rules and regulations and negotiated union contracts. For more salary information please visit https://oer.ny.gov/salary-schedules DOT is an equal opportunity employer. Disabled persons are encouraged to apply. In compliance with Public Law 99-603, candidates selected for appointment must provide an original document to prove their citizenship and/or legal right to work in the United States. Candidates for employment must have proper authorization to work in the United States at the time an offer of employment is made. The Department will not sponsor a nonimmigrant for a temporary employment visa (H-1B or similar), OPT STEM, or for permanent residence. Offers of permanent employment may not be made to nonimmigrants whose employment authorization is limited to a period of practical training (F-1 or similar).
We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out EEO statements, legal compliance, visa restrictions, etc. Also remove "DOT is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "In compliance with Public Law 99-603..." etc. Also remove "The Department will not sponsor..." etc. Also remove "Offers of permanent employment may not be made..." etc. Also remove "Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis."? That is a requirement, but maybe it's considered legal? It's a work authorization requirement; might be considered substantive? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Work authorization is a requirement, not boilerplate. However "Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis." is a requirement. We'll keep it maybe under Requirements or Qualifications.
But we also need to remove duplicated lines. There's some duplication: "Additional Comments **Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis.**" appears maybe only once. Also "For the duration of the NY HELPS Program..." etc.
We need to decide sections: We have duties/responsibilities (Construction season duties and off-season duties). Could be under Responsibilities. Also maybe "About the role" could be a brief summary? The posting doesn't have an explicit "About the role" section; but we could create one summarizing the role? The instruction says: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we cannot create an About the role section if not present. The posting starts with "Duties Description Construction season duties:" which is essentially duties. So we could use a heading Responsibilities
and put the duties there.
Qualifications: The posting has "Minimum Qualifications" and "Qualifications". So we can have a Qualifications
(or Requirements?). The instruction lists possible headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to choose appropriate ones. We have qualifications content, so we can use Qualifications. We might also have Requirements (like work authorization). Could combine.
We have salary info: "The salary range listed reflects the full range for this graded position. For new State employees appointed into graded positions, the annual salary is the hiring rate (beginning of the Salary Range) of the position. Promotion salaries are calculated by the NYS Office of the State Comptroller..." plus link. This is specific salary info, though not giving actual numbers. It says "salary range listed reflects the full range". But we don't have actual numbers. The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state salary range info, albeit generic. It says "The salary range listed reflects the full range for this graded position." That is a statement about salary range. So we can include a Pay section with that info. However we must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". This is not filler; it's a statement about salary range. So we can include Pay.
We have no explicit Benefits or Schedule info. Off-season duties mention clerical support but not schedule. No mention of benefits. So we omit Benefits and Schedule.
Skills: Not explicitly listed. Could infer from duties but not explicit. So we omit Skills.
Requirements: Could include work authorization and maybe "must be employee of DOT" etc. But we already have qualifications covering that. Might combine Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have just Responsibilities and Qualifications (including pay). Or we could have Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay.
Let's decide: Sections:
- Responsibilities (duties)
- Qualifications (minimum qualifications, work authorization, NY HELPS details)
- Pay (salary range info)
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract and format.
Responsibilities:
We have two parts: Construction season duties and Construction Off Season Duties.
Construction season duties:
- Review and certification of Automated Work Zone Speed Enforcement (AWZSE) photos provided by the AWZSE vendor.
- Quality Assurance of AWZSE vendor’s Notice of Liabilities.
- Gathering of photos and/or information for Main Office or Regional Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests.
- Supervision and Training of AWZSE Unit’s Office Assistant 1 staff responsible for the certification of speed violation photos.
Construction Off Season Duties:
- Clerical support for the Residency, Bridge Maintenance, Traffic Signals Unit, the TMC, and/or the Regional Office.
- Work in support of these areas may include:
- Data entry
- Filing
- Processing mail
- Answering telephones and other related clerical activities.
- Responsibilities may include serving a role within the Incident Command System to support the department’s response to regional and statewide emergency situations.
We can combine into a single list under Responsibilities.
We need to preserve all info; we can break into sub-lists maybe but not required. Use
- for any list. Could have nested lists? Probably okay but we can keep simple.
We'll produce:

But that nests a li inside ul; maybe better to separate sections: we could have two headings? But we only have one Responsibilities heading. Could split into two lists with a describing off-season. Simpler: keep as separate
paragraphs for prose and
for lists.
