We need to output HTML fragment with headings for 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. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Sections present:
- Introduction (maybe About the role)
- Summary Statement (maybe Responsibilities)
- Essential Functions (Responsibilities)
- Job Requirements (Requirements)
- Additional Posting Information (maybe location, telework) could be part of Responsibilities? Might be "Work Location" but not a required heading; we could put under "About the role" or "Responsibilities"? Probably "Additional Posting Information" could be considered "Work Location" but not a standard heading. We could include under "About the role" or maybe "Qualifications". However we must only use allowed headings. We could put location info under "About the role" as a paragraph.
- Benefits section: there is a Benefits heading in the posting: "Benefits To learn more about the comprehensive benefit package please visit our website at https://dhr.delaware.gov/benefits/". That's substantive? It's a link. We can include Benefits section with that paragraph.
- Pay: not mentioned. So omit Pay section.
- Schedule: not mentioned (though telework/flexible schedules mentioned). There is mention: "The State of Delaware recognizes the value of telework and flexible working schedules. This position is eligible for Telework according to the State of Delaware’s Alternative Work Arrangement Policy." That's schedule/flexible. Could be considered Schedule section. Since we have content about telework/flexible schedules, we can include a Schedule section.
- Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? The posting has Job Requirements. Could map to Requirements. Qualifications maybe not separate; we could omit Qualifications if no distinct content.
- Skills: maybe infer from requirements: experience in studies, statistics, interpreting laws, designing studies, making recommendations, narrative report writing, knowledge of inferential statistics. Could be Skills section. But we already have Requirements covering experience. Could combine. However we need to decide: we can include Requirements (experience) and Skills (knowledge). But we must not create thin sections. Let's see: The posting includes "Three years experience in conducting studies or analyses..." etc. That's experience requirements. Also "Knowledge of inferential statistics..." That's knowledge/skill. Could be Skills.

Let's extract content.
Introduction: "The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) has been recently established as an independent and nonpartisan agency to detect and deter fraud, waste, abuse, mismanagement, and corruption in or affecting state government."
Summary Statement: "The incumbent will be engaged in leading and conducting complex evaluations and studies, collecting and analyzing data, evaluating options, and recommending alternatives across a diverse range of complex management and operational areas spanning across the state government. In carrying out these functions, the incumbent often will be required to operate with substantial autonomy, and they also will support the work of OIG investigators and other personnel on complex matters and issues under review. In addition to such externally facing functions, the incumbent also will be expected to provide expert analysis and recommendations with regard to a wide variety of complex issues related to the operations and functions of the OIG. The incumbent will be required to obtain certification within 3 years of hire in at least 1 of the following fields: evaluation, auditing, and/or investigations."
We can combine intro and summary into About the role.
Responsibilities: Essential Functions list. Need to preserve all bullet points. The Essential Functions is a long paragraph with many duties separated by periods. We need to convert to - items. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should split the Essential Functions into list items. Each sentence seems a duty. We'll split by periods that end a sentence. Ensure we keep all details.
Let's list duties from Essential Functions:
- Works under the supervision of the Inspector General, Deputy Inspector General, and/or Investigative Supervisor as appropriate for the project.
- Directs the preparation, administration, and completion of highly complex and varied interdepartmental management and operational evaluations, studies, and reviews across the full range of state agencies and others within the scope of the OIG’s work.
- Assesses areas for management and operational improvements and develops and makes recommendations and suggests alternatives for proper courses of action to address and achieve resolution of such issues.
- Formulates scope of studies in which needs and problems are identified, objectives are clarified and defined, and approaches are explored and assessed, all consistent with applicable national standards for such evaluative work.
- Plans and conducts data collection and statistical and other studies related to agency or other governmental management and operations, labor markets and economic conditions, and other relevant areas of interest.
- Supports OIG investigators and other office personnel with research, data collection, and analysis, and otherwise as requested.
- Oversees and participates in monitoring and assessing external services provided to agencies and governmental entities under review, as well as internally with regard to the varied programs and operations of the OIG, examining compliance with laws, rules, regulations, policies, and procedures, as well as the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of such operations.
- Develops/designs systems for evaluating the effectiveness of operations and management in meeting established and other goals and objectives, both in external reviews and within the OIG.
- Identifies program, operational, and/or financial management needs of entities under review and within the OIG.
- Participates in committees, task forces, councils, and commissions within the oversight community, state government, and otherwise as directed or approved by the Inspector General.
- Participates in evaluations and reviews concerning grant applications or requests for funding or programmatic changes of entities under OIG review and within the OIG itself, and makes recommendations regarding the substance and procedures applicable to same.
- Participates in the assessment of the budget available for entities under OIG review to accomplish their goals and objectives, as well as assisting as requested in the preparation and maintenance of the OIG budget; develops, formulates, and participates in the implementation of policies and procedures relating to such matters.
- May plan, assign, review, and evaluate the work of subordinate or other staff.
- Contacts include agency leadership and counterparts on external evaluations and reviews, and the Inspector General and other OIG management on internal matters, in both instances explaining analysis, findings, and proposed recommendations, resolving differences, securing coordination and cooperation in current and proposed evaluations, studies, and reorganizations both outside and within the OIG.
- Tracks progress made on external and internal recommendations for improvement, with ongoing dialogue as to hurdles faced and means to address them.
That seems comprehensive.
Now Requirements: The Job Requirements section includes:
"Three years experience in conducting studies or analyses, including evaluating operations, programs, services, policies and procedures to determine efficiency, effectiveness, whether goals and objectives are met, and compliance with laws, rules, regulations, policies and procedures.
Three years experience in descriptive statistics, such as the mean, median, mode, or standard deviation.
Three years experience in interpreting laws, rules, regulations, standards, policies, and procedures.
Six months experience in designing studies or analyses, including determining study goals and objectives, information needed, data sources, sampling and collection methods.
Six months experience in making recommendations for continuation or changes to operations, programs, services, policies or procedures based on findings.
Six months experience in narrative report writing.
Knowledge of inferential statistics, such as correlation, t-tests, f-tests or analysis of variance."
Also note: "Please attach a resume with your online application..." that's application instruction, should be removed.
Also "Additional Posting Information" includes location and telework.
We need to capture location: "The incumbent may work at the Warr Building (60 Loockerman Plaza, Dover, DE 19901) or Carvel State Office Building (820 N. French St., Wilmington, DE 19801) based on and consistent with operational needs"
Telework/flexible schedule: "The State of Delaware recognizes the value of telework and flexible working schedules. This position is eligible for Telework according to the State of Delaware’s Alternative Work Arrangement Policy . More information will be shared at the time of interview."
We can put location under About the role maybe as a paragraph. Or we could create a separate section "Work Location" but not allowed headings. So we incorporate into About the role.
Schedule: we have telework/flexible schedule info. We'll put under Schedule section.
Benefits: we have link.
Now we need to avoid boilerplate: remove EEO, accommodations, etc. The posting includes Accommodations, Equal Opportunity employer etc. Those are boilerplate; we must remove them.
Also remove "Conditions of Hire" etc? That's also boilerplate? It includes legal authorization to work, E-Verify, SNEO. Might be considered substantive? It's about hire conditions. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Conditions of Hire might be considered legal? It's about work authorization, E-Verify, orientation. Might be considered boilerplate legal. Safer to remove.
Thus we keep only: About the role (intro+summary+location), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (experience), Skills (knowledge of inferential statistics), Benefits (link), Schedule (telework/flexible). Ensure we don't repeat content.
Now format.
We'll output:
