We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Benefits, Salary, Schedule maybe, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, etc. Must follow rules: use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading (the page already shows it). Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Benefits: "As part of our total benefit package, Macomb County proudly offers medical, dental, and vision coverage, with no monthly premium to employees for single, two (2) person or family coverage. Health care, dental and vision benefits are effective the first day of employment." - Salary: "Salary $37,571.07 - $48,595.04" - Department: "County Clerk" - Opening Date: "09/15/2026" - Closing Date: "09/29/2026 12:00 a.m." - FLSA STATUS: "Non-exempt - overtime pursuant to Collective Bargaining Agreement" - EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP: "Just cause subject to probationary period" - CURRENT HOURS AND STARTING TIME: "Full-time (37.5 hours per week) position. The start time for this position is currently 8:00 a.m." - General Summary: "Performs routine to moderately difficult clerical duties according to established policies and procedures." - Essential Duties & Responsibilities: a long list of duties. - Qualifications: Required Education and Experience: "High School diploma or GED equivalent" - Required Licenses Or Certifications: "Possession of a valid Michigan driver’s license and operable, insured automobile for authorized travel" - Preferred Education And Experience: "Previous clerical work experience" - Knowledge Of COMPETENCIES FOR SUCCESSFUL PERFORMANCE OF JOB DUTIES: a list of competencies (knowledge, skill, ability). This is a big list. - Work Environment/Conditions: a table of exposures with N/S, O, F/C. - PHYSICAL DEMANDS: similar table. - General Requirements And Disclaimers: includes compliance statements, accommodation, AFSCME-Local 411 bargaining unit. We need to decide which sections to include. Must not create sections with filler/placeholder. Must include sections only if posting has real specific content. We have Benefits (specific). Salary (specific). Schedule? The posting includes CURRENT HOURS AND STARTING TIME: Full-time (37.5 hours per week) position. The start time for this position is currently 8:00 a.m. That's schedule info. So we can have a Schedule section. Responsibilities: we have Essential Duties & Responsibilities list. So we can have Responsibilities section. Qualifications: we have Required Education and Experience, Required Licenses Or Certifications, Preferred Education And Experience. So we can have Qualifications section. Skills: we have Knowledge Of COMPETENCIES FOR SUCCESSFUL PERFORMANCE OF JOB DUTIES: includes knowledge, skill, ability. Could be Skills section. Work Environment and Physical Demands maybe could be omitted? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Work Environment and Physical Demands into a "Working Conditions" section? But the allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No explicit "Work Environment". So we might omit those details if they'd be thin. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop substantive info. But we could incorporate them into existing sections like Responsibilities or Qualifications? Probably not appropriate. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." It doesn't forbid adding extra sections beyond the list? It says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive. But we should likely stick to those headings for clarity. However we need to preserve all substantive info; we could put Work Environment and Physical Demands under a "Requirements" section? Or maybe under "About the role"? The "About the role" could include general summary. But we have a General Summary separate. We could create sections: About the role (General Summary), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay (Salary), Schedule. That covers most. For Work Environment and Physical Demands, maybe we can include them under "Qualifications" as part of job requirements? Or under "Skills"? Might be a stretch but could be considered part of job requirements. However the instruction says "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." So we can fold minor metadata into a short

    . Work Environment and Physical Demands might be considered minor? But they are substantive. However maybe we can incorporate them into a "Working Conditions" subsection inside Qualifications or Skills? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we can combine Work Environment and Physical Demands into a single "Working Conditions" section, but that heading is not in the examples. Could we still use it? The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those are typical. Safer to stick to those. We could put Work Environment and Physical Demands under "Requirements" (maybe as part of job requirements). But we don't have a Requirements section in the list? Actually "Requirements" is in the e.g. list. So we can have a Requirements section. That could contain both Qualifications and Skills? But we already have Qualifications and Skills separate. Might be overlapping. Better: Use sections: About the role (General Summary), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. For Work Environment and Physical Demands, we could incorporate them into Qualifications (as part of job requirements) or Skills (as abilities). But they are more about environment and physical demands, not qualifications. Could be under "Requirements". Since we have a Requirements heading in the e.g., we could make a Requirements section that includes both Qualifications and Skills and maybe Work Environment/Physical Demands. But then we would be duplicating if we also have Qualifications and Skills sections. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we should have fewer sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (which includes qualifications, skills, work environment, physical demands), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That would be 6 sections. But we need to preserve all substantive info. Let's see if we can fit everything into Requirements. Requirements could contain: - Required Education and Experience: High School diploma or GED equivalent - Required Licenses Or Certifications: valid Michigan driver’s license and operable, insured automobile - Preferred Education And Experience: Previous clerical work experience - Knowledge Of COMPETENCIES FOR SUCCESSFUL PERFORMANCE OF JOB DUTIES: list of knowledge, skill, ability. - Work Environment/Conditions: table. - PHYSICAL DEMANDS: table. - General Requirements And Disclaimers: compliance statements, accommodation, bargaining unit. That seems a lot but could be a single Requirements section with subheadings? But we cannot use headings inside? We could use

    paragraphs and

    • for lists. The instruction says use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

        for prose. So we can have multiple paragraphs and lists inside the section. Thus we can have a single Requirements section that includes all those items as paragraphs and lists. But we also have Qualifications and Skills as separate headings in the e.g. list. However we can choose not to use them if we combine into Requirements. The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So combining into Requirements is okay. Thus final sections: About the role (General Summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Check each: - About the role: we have General Summary: "Performs routine to moderately difficult clerical duties according to established policies and procedures." That's substantive. - Responsibilities: Essential Duties & Responsibilities list. - Requirements: includes all the qualifications, licenses, preferred experience, knowledge/skill/ability, work environment, physical demands, general requirements/disclaimers. - Benefits: medical/dental/vision coverage, no monthly premium, effective first day. - Pay: Salary range. - Schedule: Full-time 37.5 hours per week, start time 8:00 a.m. We must not include headings with filler. All have content. Now we need to format. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce:
