Business DevelopmentFull-time
We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create sections unless posting actually states them. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - About the role: The first paragraph: "THE POSITION Are you looking for a rewarding career in law enforcement that offers professional growth? If so, become a Parole Agent 1 and help guide individuals who are rebuilding their lives. This hands-on trainee role will teach you how to supervise offenders who were released on probation or parole to serve the remainder of their sentence in the community. Successful completion of the 12-month training period will result in a promotion to Parole Agent 2 with an increase in salary. Apply today to join the Department of Corrections in their mission to promote public safety and reduce recidivism! NOTE: Senate Bill 411 merged the Department of Corrections and the Board of Probation and Parole. This position is within the Department of Corrections." We can treat that as About the role. - Responsibilities: The "DESCRIPTION OF WORK" and bullet list of duties: Field Operations, Community Outreach, Treatment Planning, Case Guidance, Agency Referrals, Court Participation. Also mention "Interested in learning more? Additional details regarding this position can be found in the position description." That's not substantive. - Work Schedule and Additional Information: includes schedule details: Full-time employment, 40 hours per week; work schedule and hours to be determined; work holidays and weekends as required; willing to travel; eligible for full retirement benefits at age 50 or 55; location; telework not allowed. This is schedule and benefits. - Salary: "Salary: In some cases, the starting salary may be non-negotiable." That's pay info but vague. It says "In some cases, the starting salary may be non-negotiable." That's not a specific number; but it's still pay info. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state salary info (though vague). Should we include Pay section? It says "In some cases, the starting salary may be non-negotiable." That's still content about pay. We can include Pay section with that sentence. - Benefits: The posting mentions "full retirement benefits at age 50 or 55." Also maybe other benefits not mentioned. So we can include Benefits section with that detail. - Schedule: Already have schedule details: full-time 40 hrs/week, schedule TBD, holidays/weekends, travel required, no telework. So Schedule section. - Qualifications: The "QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED EXPERIENCE, TRAINING & ELIGIBILITY" includes minimum experience/training requirements, special requirements (driver's license, CLEAN certification, basic training, PA residency, essential job functions, legal requirements: medical exam, drug screening, background investigation, CJIS compliance, review of prior law enforcement employment per Act 57). Also includes "How to Apply" etc which is application instructions (should be removed). Also includes Veterans, TRS, EEO etc (boilerplate to remove). Also includes "EXAMINATION INFORMATION" which is about application as exam; that's procedural, maybe we should remove as it's application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. The EXAMINATION INFORMATION is about how application serves as exam; that's part of application process, likely to be removed. Also "How to Apply" etc. So we should keep only substantive qualifications: experience/training requirements, special requirements, other requirements, legal requirements. Also maybe note about residency guidelines link (but that's a link; we can keep mention). Must not include application instructions like "How to Apply", "Resumes, cover letters... will not be reviewed", etc. Also remove EEO, Veterans, TRS, etc. - Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe we can infer from duties but not explicit. Should not create Skills section unless posting has real specific content for it. There's no explicit skills list. So omit Skills. - Benefits: we have retirement benefits. Also maybe "full retirement benefits at age 50 or 55." That's it. Could also mention "eligible for full retirement benefits". That's benefits. - Pay: we have salary note. - Schedule: we have schedule details. Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings

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

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Parole Agent 1". Use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Requirements? The qualifications section includes requirements; but we have Qualifications heading. The instruction says use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications if content distinct. But we can combine? The posting has "QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED EXPERIENCE, TRAINING & ELIGIBILITY". That's both qualifications and requirements. Could split into Requirements (maybe experience/training) and Qualifications (special requirements, legal). But to keep simple, we can have one Qualifications section containing all. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Omit Requirements as separate. Now we need to extract content. About the role: prose paragraph(s). We'll combine into one

    . Responsibilities: list of duties. Use

    • each duty. Qualifications: we need to list requirements etc. Could be a mix of prose and lists. We'll break into sub-sections? Not allowed to create extra headings unless they match the list. So we can have a

      summarizing then

        for lists. Let's extract qualifications content: From "QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED EXPERIENCE, TRAINING & ELIGIBILITY": - Minimum Experience and Training Requirements: Four years of paraprofessional experience which includes two years of paraprofessional social services, human services, corrections, or law enforcement experience; or Two years of paraprofessional social services, human services, corrections, or law enforcement experience, and an associate’s degree; or A bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, law enforcement, legal studies, political science, behavioral science, or a related field; or An equivalent combination of experience and training. Applicants will be considered to have met the educational requirements once they are within 3 months of graduating with a qualifying degree. - Special Requirements: You must be in possession of an active non-commercial Pennsylvania Class C driver’s license or equivalent. You must obtain CLEAN certification within two months of employment and maintain this certification for the duration of employment in this job. - Other Requirements: Successful completion of the Parole Agent 1 basic training program at the Training Academy in Elizabethtown, PA is required. You must meet the PA residency requirement . For more information on ways to meet PA residency requirements, follow the link and click on Residency Guidelines. You must be able to perform essential job functions. - Legal Requirements: A conditional offer of employment will require a medical examination and drug screening. You must pass a background investigation and meet Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) compliance requirements. A conditional offer of employment requires review of prior law enforcement employment records as required by Pennsylvania Act 57 of 2020. We should also note that the "How to Apply" etc is to be removed. Also "Veterans", "TRS", EEO, etc removed. Also "EXAMINATION INFORMATION" removed. Now Benefits: "This position is eligible for full retirement benefits at age 50 or 55." Also maybe "full retirement benefits". We'll put that in
        • or

          . Since it's a single item, could be

          . But instruction: use

          • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. If it's a single benefit, still could be
            • . We'll do
              • Full retirement benefits available at age 50 or 55.
              • Pay: "Salary: In some cases, the starting salary may be non-negotiable." We'll put as

                . Schedule: details: Full-time employment, 40 hours per week; Work schedule and hours are to be determined; You will work holidays and weekends as required; You must be willing to travel; Telework: You will not have the option to telework in this position. Also location: Erie District Office at 221 East 18th Street, Erie, PA 16503. Might be considered schedule? It's location. Could be included in schedule or about role. Probably schedule section includes work schedule details; location maybe not schedule but we can include as part of schedule or as separate? There's no heading for location. Could add to schedule as a note. We'll include location in schedule

                . Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "NOTE: Senate Bill 411 merged..." That's part of About the role, we keep. Now produce HTML. Structure:
