Work is performed under general supervision in accordance with outlined policies and procedures allowing for the exercise of independent judgement in planning and carrying out the details of the work. This class differs from that of Senior Account Clerk by the more difficult and complex nature of the assignments and the independence allowed in carrying out the work and/or by the supervisory responsibilities of subordinate staff. Does related work as required.

Salary: $22.8048-28.8651/HR (CSEA Union)
Location: Cortland County DSS

A list of acceptable companies who provide this service can be found on the Internet at http://www.cs.ny.gov/jobseeker/degrees.cfm. You must pay the required evaluation fee. Pre-employment screenings required.
Also there is "Job Description Vacancy Posting" repeated but not needed.
We need sections: About the role (maybe description), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have description of work (responsibilities). Could map "About the role" to a brief overview? But we must not invent content. We can use the description as "About the role" or "Responsibilities". The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. So we need to decide which sections we have content for.
We have:
- About the role: maybe a summary? Not explicitly given. Could use the first paragraph as "About the role". But it's basically description of work. Could treat as "About the role". However we also have responsibilities: planning, assigning, supervising major account keeping activities, independently performing difficult account keeping functions, etc. That's also in description.
We could combine: "About the role" could be a brief summary: The work involves responsibility for planning, assigning and supervising major account keeping activities and/or independently performing difficult and responsible account keeping functions electronically, on hard copy or both. That's from description.
"Responsibilities": list of duties: planning, assigning and supervising major account keeping activities; independently performing difficult and responsible account keeping functions electronically, on hard copy or both; work performed under general supervision in accordance with outlined policies and procedures allowing for exercise of independent judgement in planning and carrying out details of the work; this class differs from Senior Account Clerk by more difficult and complex nature of assignments and independence allowed and/or supervisory responsibilities of subordinate staff; does related work as required.
We could make a - list.
"Requirements": maybe same as qualifications? But we have "MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS". Could treat as "Qualifications". The instruction includes both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We need to decide which to use. Since we have explicit "MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS", we can put that under
Qualifications
. Could also have Requirements maybe for special requirements? There's "Special Requirements" maybe none. There's "Pre-employment screenings required." Could be under Requirements? But we can incorporate into Qualifications.
"Skills": Not explicitly listed. Could infer but we shouldn't invent. So we should not create Skills section if no specific content.
"Benefits": we have explicit Benefits list.
"Pay": we have salary.
"Schedule": we have Work Hours: Full-time, 35 hours per week, with benefits. That's schedule.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not include Requirements if we don't have distinct content besides qualifications. Could we treat Requirements as the same as Qualifications? Better to avoid duplication. We'll omit Requirements.
We must not include Skills.
Now we need to format.
Use for each section heading.
Under each, use
for prose,
- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from description, qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule.
Let's craft.
About the role: maybe a paragraph summarizing the role: The work involves responsibility for planning, assigning and supervising major account keeping activities and/or independently performing difficult and responsible account keeping functions electronically, on hard copy or both. Work is performed under general supervision in accordance with outlined policies and procedures allowing for the exercise of independent judgement in planning and carrying out the details of the work. This class differs from that of Senior Account Clerk by the more difficult and complex nature of the assignments and the independence allowed in carrying out the work and/or by the supervisory responsibilities of subordinate staff. Does related work as required.
That's basically the description. We'll put that in
.
Responsibilities: we could break into bullet list:
- Planning, assigning, and supervising major account keeping activities
- Independently performing difficult and responsible account keeping functions electronically, on hard copy, or both
- Working under general supervision in accordance with outlined policies and procedures, exercising independent judgement in planning and carrying out work details
- Handling more difficult and complex assignments than a Senior Account Clerk, with greater independence and/or supervisory responsibilities for subordinate staff
- Performing related work as required
We need to ensure we don't invent. All these are derived from description. It's okay to paraphrase but must preserve meaning. Should we keep exact phrasing? Could use bullet points with phrases taken directly.
Better to use exact sentences split.
But we can keep as
- each responsibility as a sentence.
Let's extract sentences:
1. The work involves responsibility for planning, assigning and supervising major account keeping activities and/or independently performing difficult and responsible account keeping functions electronically, on hard copy or both.
2. Work is performed under general supervision in accordance with outlined policies and procedures allowing for the exercise of independent judgement in planning and carrying out the details of the work.
3. This class differs from that of Senior Account Clerk by the more difficult and complex nature of the assignments and the independence allowed in carrying out the work and/or by the supervisory responsibilities of subordinate staff.
4. Does related work as required.
We could split first sentence into two bullets? But it's okay to keep as one bullet.
We'll make each bullet a sentence.
Qualifications: we need to include MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS text fully.
We'll put in
maybe with
- for each option? The qualifications are either/or options. Could present as
- Either: Possession of an Associate’s degree or higher in accounting, business administration, or closely related field and two (2) years of clerical experience in maintaining financial accounts and records;
- OR Possession of a high school diploma or equivalency diploma and four (4) years of clerical experience maintaining financial accounts and records;
- OR An equivalent combination of training and experience as defined by the limits of (a) and (b).
Then also include the note about accreditation, verification, evaluation fee, pre-employment screenings.
We'll put those as separate paragraphs.
Benefits: list: New York State Retirement System, Low Deductible Health Insurance Plan, Generous Paid Time Off Including 13 Paid Holidays, Tuition Assistance available after one (1) year of employment. Position eligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF).
We'll make

Pay: Salary: $22.8048-28.8651/HR (CSEA Union). We'll put in

Schedule: Work Hours: Full-time, 35 hours per week, with benefits. We'll put in
.
Make sure not to include boilerplate like "Job ID", "Location", "Status" etc unless they are substantive. Location and Status could be considered metadata but maybe we should include? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Location and Status maybe minor metadata; we could include them in a short
under About the role or separate? But we already have a lot of content. Could include them in a short
under About the role or maybe a separate "Details" section but not in headings list. Since we are only to output sections from the list, we should not add extra headings. We could fold location and status into a paragraph under About the role or Responsibilities? Probably better to include them in a short
after About the role as part of the role description? But they are not part of the role description. However the instruction says fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can add a
after About the role that includes Location: Cortland County DSS; Status: Non-Competitive, Probationary. That's minor metadata.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; location and status are substantive? Might be considered minor but we should preserve. We'll include them.
Now ensure we don't repeat duplicated lines.
Now produce HTML fragment.
