OFFICE SERVICES CLERK
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real content.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Introduction: "This is a position Specific Recruitment for the State Department of Assessments and Taxation, Real Property Division, Prince George's County Assessments Office." Also grade, location.
- POSITION DUTIES: long list of duties.
- Minimum Qualifications: Education, Experience, Notes about substitution.
- SELECTION PROCESS: instructions.
- EXAMINATION PROCESS: description.
- Benefits: list.
- FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS: application instructions (should be removed as boilerplate? It's application instructions; we need to remove application instructions per rule: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove the "FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS" section.
Also remove EEO etc. There's a line: "We thank our Veterans for their service... People with disabilities and bilingual candidates are encouraged to apply. As an equal opportunity employer..." That's EEO boilerplate; remove.
We need to preserve substantive info: introduction (maybe as About the role?), duties (Responsibilities), qualifications (Education/Experience/Notes), maybe Requirements? The posting includes Minimum Qualifications; we could put under Requirements or Qualifications. The spec says we can use sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include.
We have:
- About the role: could include introduction, grade, location, mission essential statement.
- Responsibilities: the POSITION DUTIES.
- Requirements: maybe the Minimum Qualifications (education, experience) plus notes about substitution.
- Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? Might be redundant. Better to combine: Use Requirements for education/experience, and Qualifications for maybe skills? But we don't have explicit skills list. Could put skills under Skills if any implied (clerical, data entry, etc.) but better not to invent.
- Benefits: we have benefits list.
- Pay: not specified; do not include.
- Schedule: not specified; do not include.
Thus we output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits.
Check if any other substantive content: Selection Process and Examination Process could be considered part of Requirements? They are about process, not qualifications. Might be considered as part of "About the role"? Probably not needed; but we could include under Requirements? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the Selection Process and Examination Process details. Where to place them? Could be under a section like "Selection Process" but not in allowed headings. Allowed headings are limited to those list. We could fold them into "Requirements" or "About the role"? Might be acceptable if we keep the info. The spec says: "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 likely we should only use those headings. It also 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 must use only those headings. So we need to map all content into those sections.
We have content: Introduction (About the role). Duties (Responsibilities). Minimum Qualifications (Requirements). Selection Process and Examination Process could be considered part of "Requirements" (they are about qualification assessment). Or maybe "About the role" includes selection process? Probably better to put them under "Requirements" as they describe how qualifications are evaluated.
Benefits (Benefits).
We also have notes about substitution; that's part of Requirements.
We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc.
Let's extract substantive content:
Introduction paragraph:
"This is a position Specific Recruitment for the State Department of Assessments and Taxation, Real Property Division, Prince George's County Assessments Office. GRADE ASTD8 LOCATION OF POSITION State Department of Assessments and Taxation Prince George's County Assessment Office 14735 Main Street Upper Marlboro, MD 20772"
Also "This job is mission essential and mission critical."
We'll include that.
Responsibilities: the long POSITION DUTIES paragraph.
We need to format as - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The duties are a paragraph with many items separated by periods. We could split into list items each duty. Better to keep as list items for each distinct duty.
Let's parse duties:
"To perform various clerical functions in an assessment office which include, but are not limited to, reviewing, verifying, and interpreting information for determining and resolving problems. Interacts with the general public both in person and by phone to respond to issues related to the assessment process, property values, general office procedures, personal property and homeowner's tax credit. Inputs a variety of data to the mainframe to update and maintain real property files. Determines if input data is correct in accordance with policies and procedures before entering it. Creates new accounts, determines if legal descriptions are correct and adjusts parent accounts to reflect new legal descriptions for split transfers, combination of accounts and plats by following established office procedures. Types and sends a variety of forms, letters and reports in accordance with established office procedures. Reviews, verifies, interprets and receives deeds and legal documents for changes of ownership and property description. Determines from the deeds whether the correct property is being transferred by matching the legal description on the mainframe with legal description in the deed. Determines from the deed if the transfer is a whole transfer or a split account. Files various materials to organized and retain assessment documents in accordance with established office procedures. Performs Other Duties As May Be Required."
We can make each sentence a
- .
Now Requirements: includes Minimum Qualifications: Education, Experience, Notes about substitution.
Also Selection Process and Examination Process.
Let's capture:
Minimum Qualifications:
Education: Graduation from an accredited high school or possession of a high school equivalency certificate.

Examination Process:
The assessment may consist of a rating of your education, training, and experience related to the requirements of the position. It is important that you provide complete and accurate information on your application. Please report all experience and education that is related to this position.
We can combine these into Requirements section as list items or paragraphs. Since it's not a list of duties but prose, we can use
for prose. However the rule says: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So for Requirements we have a mix: education/experience (list) and notes (list) and selection/exam process (prose). We could make a
for the qualifications items and for the process. Or we could make everything as

- . So we should treat education/experience/notes as list items.
Thus:
