We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Description: paragraphs about role, responsibilities. - Ideal Candidate: skills/qualities. - Qualifications: bullet list? Actually text: "Active membership in good standing with the State Bar of California, AND, Two (2) years of experience as a Senior Deputy County Counsel Attorney in the County of San Diego, or at an equivalent level with another California county or city, handling above average difficult and complex cases or assignments; OR, Five (5) years of professional post-bar civil legal experience as an attorney, which must have included handling civil law matters and/or cases in a public or private sector law office. Note: Experience with a public entity representing public boards and commissions, preparing and trying public entity lawsuits, and drafting ordinances, policies, and public contracts is highly desirable." - Also Required Positions may involve necessary and timely transportation for field travel, requiring the ability to arrange transportation to different worksites, meetings, or field work. Must have a reputation for honesty and trustworthiness. Misdemeanor and/or felony convictions may be disqualifying depending on type, number, severity, and recency. Prior to appointment, candidates will be subject to a background investigation. - Notes: Please attach a copy of your resume... etc. That's application instructions; we should remove. - Salary: $191,692.80 - $233,001.60 Annually (Pay). So we have Pay section. - Schedule: Not explicitly given. There's mention: "Although a mix of remote and in-person work will be permitted, the attorney must remain available in-person for AAB hearings, which generally occur on Thursdays." That's schedule info: remote/in-person mix, must be available in-person for hearings on Thursdays. So we can include Schedule section. - Benefits: Not mentioned. So we should not include Benefits section. - Skills: Could be derived from Ideal Candidate: analytical thinker, articulate critical issues, excellent legal research and writing skills, courtroom presence, ability to work in supportive professional team environment. Also maybe experience with assessment practices, Revenue and Taxation Code, writ of administrative mandate litigation, refund actions. So we can include Skills section. - About the role: Could be description paragraph(s). We'll put that in About the role. - Responsibilities: Could be extracted from description: handling cases, providing legal advice and litigation support to ARCC, working with attorneys, providing dedicated legal support to Assessor in connection with AAB hearings (witness prep, legal advice, representation, drafting findings), preparing and filing writs of administrative mandate, advisory legal support to ARCC (review/development policies, contract review, legislative support, CPRA requests, records retention), completing appraiser training. Also mention remote/in-person work, availability for hearings on Thursdays. So we can put responsibilities. - Requirements: Could be the Qualifications and also maybe the "Also Required" (transportation, honesty, background check). We'll separate: Requirements maybe include the qualifications (Bar membership, experience). But we already have Qualifications section. The instructions say we can have Qualifications separate. So we can put Requirements as maybe the "Also Required" items? But we need to decide. We have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only those with real content. We have: - About the role: yes (description paragraph about Office of County Counsel, role). - Responsibilities: yes (list of duties). - Requirements: maybe we can include the "Also Required" items (transportation, honesty, background check). Also maybe the note about Bar number attachment? That's application instruction; remove. So Requirements: transportation arrangement, honesty/trustworthiness, background investigation, misdemeanor/felony considerations. - Qualifications: yes (Bar membership, experience options). - Skills: yes (ideal candidate traits). - Benefits: none -> omit. - Pay: yes (salary range). - Schedule: yes (remote/in-person mix, availability for hearings on Thursdays). We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to format: headings

for each section. Use

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

  for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft. First, About the role: prose from description: "The Office of County Counsel is a full-service law office, tasked with handling the County’s civil law needs, including proactive participation in all phases of government decision making and a very active and successful trial litigation program. The Principal Deputy County Counsel will independently handle cases and assignments that have an elevated level of difficulty and complexity, and handling matters that have significant impact upon the County and its officers, boards and districts. This position provides legal advice and litigation support to the Assessor/ Recorder/ County Clerk (ARCC) and will work with attorneys assigned to the Finance and General Government Team." We could keep as

  . Second, Responsibilities: list of duties. Let's extract bullet points: - Provide dedicated legal support to Assessor in connection with Assessment Appeals Board (“AAB”) hearings, including witness preparation, legal advice, representation at hearings, and drafting proposed written findings. - Prepare and file writs of administrative mandate, as appropriate, to challenge AAB decisions. - Provide advisory legal support to ARCC with a focus on the review and development of policies and procedures, contract review, legislative support, California Public Records Act requests, and records retention. - Complete appraiser training, which will be provided by the Assessor’s Office. - Although a mix of remote and in-person work will be permitted, remain available in-person for AAB hearings, which generally occur on Thursdays. We could also mention "Independently handle cases and assignments that have an elevated level of difficulty and complexity, and handling matters that have significant impact upon the County and its officers, boards and districts." but that's more about role; maybe include in responsibilities. We'll keep as

  • . Third, Requirements: list: - Arrange transportation to different worksites, meetings, or field work as needed for field travel. - Maintain a reputation for honesty and trustworthiness. - Pass a background investigation prior to appointment. - Note that misdemeanor and/or felony convictions may be disqualifying depending on type, number, severity, and recency.

We'll format as
      • with maybe nested? Simpler: each bullet. Fifth, Skills: list from Ideal Candidate: - Experience providing clients advice on assessment practices and the Revenue and Taxation Code. - Experience representing clients in writ of administrative mandate litigation or refund actions. - Analytical thinker, able to accurately articulate the critical issues in a case. - Excellent legal research and writing skills. - Courtroom presence. - Ability to work in a supportive and professional team environment with other attorneys and support staff. We'll put as
        • . Sixth, Pay: we can put as

          with salary range. Seventh, Schedule: we can put as

          describing remote/in-person mix and Thursday hearings. We must not include Benefits. Now ensure we don't duplicate content. Also ensure we don't include application instructions like "Please attach a copy of your resume..." etc. We removed. Check for any leftover boilerplate: "Please note that the County is advertising three recruitments at the Senior Deputy County Counsel, Principal Deputy County Counsel, or Supervising Deputy County Counsel level. The candidate should apply for the position that best reflects the candidate’s level of experience. Please read the Principal Deputy County Counsel job description for additional information." That's more like application instruction; we should remove as it's not substantive content about the job. Remove. Also "Ideal Candidate" heading we turned into Skills. Now produce HTML. We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences. Let's craft:
