for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe Position Overview), Responsibilities (Essential Functions), Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (maybe none explicit? There's mention of ideal candidate: excellent organizational skills and strong leadership and communication capabilities. That's a qualification/skill. Could put under Requirements or Skills. Since we have no explicit list, we could combine into a section "Requirements" with those items as list? But we should not create sections with filler. If we have only a couple items, we could still make a section if there is real specific content. The posting says: "The ideal candidate for this position will have excellent organizational skills and strong leadership and communication capabilities." That's specific. Could be placed under "Requirements" or "Skills". We'll decide to put under "Skills" as a list.
Pay: we have salary range: Anticipated starting salary: $5,127/month (Step 1b) Full Range $5,127 - $7,135. That's specific. So include Pay section.
Schedule: Work Hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-5:00pm; Anticipated Hybrid Work Schedule Availability: 3 to 5 Days per week in office, depending on operational needs. That's specific. So include Schedule section.
Benefits: we have mentions: competitive compensation plan, excellent benefits, pension program, top-tier benefits, great retirement packages. Could list as bullet points.
Location: maybe not required as a heading; but we could include under About the role? The instructions only list specific headings; we shouldn't add extra headings like Location. So we incorporate location into About the role paragraph.
Agency: Department of Children and Family Services. Could be in About the role.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include metadata like Job ID, Opening/Closing dates, etc. Those are minor metadata; we can drop them or fold into short p. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we could include a short paragraph at top with that metadata? But they said "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." Probably better to drop it entirely, as it's not substantive for the job description. However, they said preserve ALL substantive information; metadata like dates, requisition ID may be considered not substantive? It's ambiguous. Usually they'd consider them minor metadata and can be dropped. We'll drop them.
We also need to remove application instructions (the lines about applying electronically, etc.) and boilerplate like "Why Work for Illinois?" is not exactly boilerplate but includes benefits. We'll keep benefits content.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft:
