Probation Officer
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like contact info? The description includes contact info at top: "FOR INQUIRIES, PLEASE CONTACT THE EMPLOYER: Greene County Common Pleas Court Adult Probation Division 45 North Detroit Street Xenia, OH 45385 937-562-5266". That's contact info; is that considered boilerplate? It's not navigation/legal/EEO etc. It's contact info. Should we keep? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Contact info is not those; we can keep maybe as a paragraph. However, they said "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." Contact info could be minor metadata; we could fold into a short
. Probably include as a paragraph at top. We need sections: About the role (maybe a summary). The description includes a paragraph under "Under the general supervision..." that describes role. That could be About the role. Responsibilities: list of duties/responsibilities after "Duties/Responsibilities". Those are bullet-like sentences. We'll put in
- .
Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications and Required Qualifications? Could combine into Requirements section. But we have separate headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content.
We have Pay: "$23.53/hr" and schedule "Monday-Friday 730-4 pm, half-hour lunch". That's specific. So we can have Pay and Schedule sections.
Benefits: not mentioned. So omit.
Skills: The KSAs (Knowledge, Skills & Abilities) could go under Skills. Or we could have Requirements for knowledge/skills. But we have a separate Skills heading; we can put KSAs there.
Qualifications: Education and other qualifications (degree, age, driver's license, etc.) could go under Qualifications.
Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications? Actually "Minimum Qualifications" includes "Performs Related Duties as Required." That's vague. Might be better to put under Requirements.
But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract:
