ManagementFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "General Description" which is about the purpose. Could map to "About the role". Then "Essential Functions" as Responsibilities. Then "Minimum Qualifications" as Requirements/Qualifications. Also "Necessary Special Requirements" maybe part of qualifications. Also "ADA Compliance Physical Ability" maybe part of Benefits? Actually it's about physical ability, not benefits. Could be part of Requirements? But we should only include sections when there is real specific content. We have content for General Description, Essential Functions, Minimum Qualifications, Necessary Special Requirements, ADA Compliance (Physical Ability, Sensory Requirements, Environmental Factors). Also maybe "Additional Functions". Also "Specific License or Certification Required". Also "Specific Knowledge, Skills, or Abilities". So we can structure sections: About the role (General Description). Responsibilities (Essential Functions + Additional Functions maybe). Requirements (Minimum Qualifications + Specific License or Certification Required + Specific Knowledge, Skills, or Abilities + Necessary Special Requirements). Benefits? Not present. Pay/Schedule not present. So we omit those.
We need to use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The text includes "ADA Compliance Physical Ability..." and ends with "No calls please, only applicants chosen for an intervi". That's truncated; we should cut off incomplete sentence? Probably we should stop before that incomplete line. The line: "No calls please, only applicants chosen for an intervi". That's incomplete; we should drop it as it's likely boilerplate/incomplete. Also "The city is an EOE, DFW; Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions." That's EEO boilerplate; we should remove that line. Also "All applications must be completed in full before they are submitted..." that's application instructions; we should remove. Also "Please review all applications for accuracy..." etc. Remove.
We need to keep substantive info: General Description paragraph, Essential Functions list (many duties), Additional Functions paragraph, Minimum Qualifications paragraph, Specific License or Certification Required paragraph, Specific Knowledge, Skills, or Abilities paragraph, Necessary Special Requirements paragraph (background investigation, physical fitness, age, etc.), ADA Compliance Physical Ability, Sensory Requirements, Environmental Factors (but we need to check if that is boilerplate? It's about physical ability, sensory, environmental factors; it's substantive to the job. Keep it.)
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID.
We need to format lists: For Essential Functions, we have many duties separated by semicolons and sentences. We could break into list items each duty. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert the Essential Functions paragraph into a list of duties. Similarly for Requirements we can list items.
We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep each duty as separate list item, but we must not lose any detail. The original text is a long paragraph with many duties separated by semicolons and some sentences. We can split at semicolons and periods that delineate duties. However we must be careful not to lose nuance. We'll produce list items each representing a duty as described.
Similarly for Minimum Qualifications: "Performs other related duties as required. High School diploma or GED required; supplemented by one year of work experience; or any equivalent combination of education, training, and experience which provides the requisite knowledge, skills, and abilities for this job. Specific License or Certification Required: Must possess and maintain Basic Law Enforcement certification. Must possess and maintain a valid Georgia driver’s license. Specific Knowledge, Skills, or Abilities: Must be able to demonstrate proficiency in performance of the essential functions and learn, comprehend, and apply all city or departmental policies, practices, and procedures necessary to function effectively in the position." plus Necessary Special Requirements paragraph.
We'll create sections:
About the role
General Description: The purpose of this classification is to protect life and property, to deter criminal activity, and to enforce all local, state and federal laws, statutes and regulations.
But we should not repeat "General Description" as heading? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map General Description to About the role. We'll output About the role
then
...
.
Responsibilities: combine Essential Functions and Additional Functions. We'll list duties.
Requirements: combine Minimum Qualifications, Specific License or Certification Required, Specific Knowledge, Skills, or Abilities, Necessary Special Requirements.
We might also include a separate section for "Physical and Sensory Requirements" from ADA Compliance. Could be part of Requirements or separate section like "Physical Requirements". But we only have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put physical/sensory under Requirements or Skills. Probably Requirements.
We'll not create Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections.
Now we need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now produce HTML.
Let's extract content precisely.
