We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes Job Summary (which is about role). It includes Requirements / Qualifications (list). It includes Education Requirement (list). It includes Pre-employment requirement (list. It includes Comments and Other Information (some details). It includes Number of openings, Available work shift (schedule). It includes Preference internal candidates, applications accepted until time (maybe not needed). It includes EEO boilerplate which we must remove. Also we must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. So we need to extract substantive info. Let's parse the posting: Job Summary: "Under the direction of the assigned administrator and under the general supervision of teacher and/or other certificated employee, provides instructional/behavioral support to students in accomplishing learning objectives. Works with students of all ages with severe behavioral, physical, language, or learning handicaps. Performs other related duties as assigned." That's prose. Requirements / Qualifications: "Please attach the following documents to be considered for an interview: - Resume - One (1) Letter of Recommendation with signature - One of the following: - Proof of AA or BA Degree from a regionally accredited college, 48 Semester units OR - Certificate showing successful completion of a basic Paraprofessional proficiency test." Then "Education Requirement High School Diploma (accredited by the U.S. Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education) or Equivalent AND Forty-eight (48) semester units or Associate Degree or higher or pass proficiency requirements established by the District." Then "PRE-EMPLOYMENT REQUIREMENT (At Employee Cost If Hired) TB Clearance Fingerprinting Letter(s) of Recommendation Paraprofessional Testing (Proof of AA or BA Degree from a regionally accredited college, 48 Semester units OR Certificate showing successful completion of a basic Paraprofessional proficiency test. Candidates submitting College Degrees or Transcripts from outside of the United States must also attach a certified evaluation of the document(s) verifying equivalency.)" Then "Resume Comments And Other Information If selected for this position, you will be required to provide proof of completion of high school or equivalent program. Number of openings at the time of posting: One (1) or more Available work shift: Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 2:15 p.m. (1/2 hr. lunch) PREFERENCE WILL BE GIVEN TO INTERNAL CANDIDATES. Applications will be accepted until 4:00 p.m. on closing date." We need to remove EEO boilerplate and contact info. We need to decide sections: About the role (Job Summary). Responsibilities? The job summary includes duties; maybe we can treat as Responsibilities. Could also have a separate Responsibilities section if we extract duties. But we have only the summary; we could put under About the role. Or we could split: About the role (brief) and Responsibilities (list). However we need to avoid thin sections. Better to have About the role (summary) and Requirements (list) and Schedule (work shift). Also maybe Benefits? Not present. Pay? Not present. Skills? Not explicit. Qualifications? Could combine with Requirements. The posting has Requirements / Qualifications and Education Requirement and Pre-employment requirement. Could combine into Requirements section with subpoints. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we don't add a heading for the job title. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — none present. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details: the list of documents, education requirement, pre-employment requirements, comments about proof of high school, number of openings, work shift, preference internal candidates, applications accepted until time. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, contact info, etc. We must not include duplicated lines. We need to decide how to structure. Potential sections: - About the role (Job Summary) as

    . - Responsibilities? Could be same as summary; maybe we can omit Responsibilities if we already have About the role. But we could treat the summary as About the role and not have Responsibilities. - Requirements / Qualifications: we can have a heading

    Requirements

    and then a
      with items: Resume, One (1) Letter of Recommendation with signature, One of the following: Proof of AA or BA Degree from a regionally accredited college, 48 Semester units OR Certificate showing successful completion of a basic Paraprofessional proficiency test. Then maybe separate list for Education Requirement: High School Diploma ... AND Forty-eight (48) semester units or Associate Degree or higher or pass proficiency requirements established by the District. Then Pre-employment requirements: TB Clearance, Fingerprinting, Letter(s) of Recommendation, Paraprofessional Testing (Proof...). Also note about candidates submitting degrees from outside US need certified evaluation. - Comments and Other Information: If selected for this position, you will be required to provide proof of completion of high school or equivalent program. Number of openings at the time of posting: One (1) or more. Available work shift: Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 2:15 p.m. (1/2 hr. lunch). PREFERENCE WILL BE GIVEN TO INTERNAL CANDIDATES. Applications will be accepted until 4:00 p.m. on closing date. We could put these under a heading like

      Additional Information

      or maybe

      Schedule

      for work shift, and

      Other Details

      for openings, preference, deadline. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine all additional info under a single section like

      Details

      with a
        containing each bullet. But we must follow instruction: Use

        for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests we should use those standard headings when applicable. So we should use About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule as appropriate. If we don't have content for a heading, we omit it. Thus we need to map content to these headings. - About the role: Job Summary (prose). Good. - Responsibilities: Could be derived from Job Summary? The summary includes duties: provides instructional/behavioral support, works with students, performs other related duties. Could be considered responsibilities. But we already used About the role for summary; maybe we can put responsibilities as a separate list. However the instruction says "Use

        for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid using both About the role and Responsibilities if we have content. But we need to avoid thin sections. If we split the summary into two sections, each may be thin. Better to keep About the role as the summary and maybe not include Responsibilities if it's redundant. However we could treat About the role as a brief overview and Responsibilities as the list of duties. But we only have one paragraph; we could split sentences into bullet list for responsibilities. That would give substantive content. Let's see: The Job Summary sentence: "Under the direction of the assigned administrator and under the general supervision of teacher and/or other certificated employee, provides instructional/behavioral support to students in accomplishing learning objectives. Works with students of all ages with severe behavioral, physical, language, or learning handicaps. Performs other related duties as assigned." We could make responsibilities bullet list: - Provides instructional/behavioral support to students in accomplishing learning objectives under direction of assigned administrator and general supervision of teacher/certificated employee. - Works with students of all ages with severe behavioral, physical, language, or learning handicaps. - Performs other related duties as assigned. That seems reasonable and not too thin. Thus we can have About the role (maybe a brief overview) and Responsibilities (list). But we need to avoid duplication. The About the role could be a short sentence summarizing the role: "Provides instructional/behavioral support to students with severe needs under supervision." But we risk losing detail. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot lose detail. If we put all detail in Responsibilities list, we can keep About the role as a short overview but we must still preserve all info somewhere. So we can put overview in About the role (maybe a sentence) and then Responsibilities list with details. That preserves all info. But we need to ensure we don't omit any detail. Let's craft About the role: "Under the direction of the assigned administrator and under the general supervision of teacher and/or other certificated employee, provides instructional/behavioral support to students in accomplishing learning objectives." That's basically the first sentence. Then Responsibilities list includes the rest: works with students..., performs other related duties. However the first sentence also appears in About the role; we would be duplicating that sentence. Duplication is allowed? The instruction says remove duplicated lines. So we should avoid repeating the same sentence. Better to not duplicate. So we could put About the role as a brief generic description without repeating specifics, but then we might lose some detail. However we could put the full summary in About the role as a paragraph, and then not have Responsibilities section (or have it empty). But we must not emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So if we include Responsibilities heading, we must have real specific content under it. If we don't have distinct content, we should omit Responsibilities. Thus we need to decide: either we include About the role only (with the full summary) and omit Responsibilities, or we split into About the role (short) and Responsibilities (list) ensuring no duplication. Let's try to split without duplication: About the role could be a high-level purpose: "Provides instructional/behavioral support to students with severe needs under supervision." That's not verbatim from posting but captures essence. However we risk losing some detail like "under the direction of the assigned administrator and under the general supervision of teacher and/or other certificated employee" and "in accomplishing learning objectives". That is substantive. If we omit those details, we lose info. So better to keep them somewhere. Thus we could put About the role as the first sentence (which includes direction/supervision and learning objectives). Then Responsibilities list includes the other two sentences: works with students..., performs other related duties. That way we don't duplicate the first sentence. Let's check: About the role sentence: "Under the direction of the assigned administrator and under the general supervision of teacher and/or other certificated employee, provides instructional/behavioral support to students in accomplishing learning objectives." That's from the posting. Responsibilities list: - Works with students of all ages with severe behavioral, physical, language, or learning handicaps. - Performs other related duties as assigned. That covers all content without duplication. Good. Now Requirements section: we need to include all requirements: documents to attach, education requirement, pre-employment requirements, comments about proof of high school, number of openings, work shift, preference internal candidates, deadline. However some of those are more like "Additional Information" not strictly requirements. But we can still put them under Requirements heading if we want to keep few sections. However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Schedule (for work shift), Details (for openings, preference, deadline). But we need to see if we have content for
