Program Assistant - Mobile Services - 30 Hours
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to extract content.
From posting:
General Position Summary: includes description: "The Mobile Services team at King County Library System is seeking a Program Assistant to provide critical clerical support. In This Position, You Will Have The Opportunity To Serve as primary contact for library staff concerning Mobile Services Department's programs and services Perform data processing, bookkeeping, and records management for Mobile Services Resolve vehicle maintenance and requests and issues Inform staff on Mobile Services vehicle operations"
Then "The ideal candidate is digitally fluent, able to learn new software quickly, and demonstrates strong communication and organizational skills. Accuracy, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously are essential."
Then schedule: "Monday-Thursday, 8:00am-4:00pm"
Then "Applicants must attach a current resume and cover letter which addresses why they are interested in the position and how they meet the qualifications listed." That's application instruction, we must remove.
Then About King County Library System (KCLS) description: we can include as "About the role"? Actually "About the role" heading is for role description. Could use that for summary of role. The "About King County Library System" is about organization; maybe we can put under "About the role"? But guidelines: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should include sections only if we have real specific content.
We have:
- About the role: could be the General Position Summary description (what the role entails). We'll put that.
- Responsibilities: list of duties from "Examples of Duties Essential Duties/Major Responsibilities". That's a long list; we can put as - .
- Requirements: maybe "Desired Minimum Qualification Education And Experience" plus "Special Requirements". That's qualifications.
- Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? But we can separate: Requirements (education/experience) and Qualifications (skills/competencies). However guidelines: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine education/experience and special requirements into Requirements. Then Skills could be core competencies.
- Benefits, Pay, Schedule: we have schedule info; we can create Schedule section. Benefits and Pay not mentioned, so omit.
Thus sections: About the role (h3), Responsibilities (h3), Requirements (h3), Skills (h3), Schedule (h3). Ensure we don't repeat job title.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, etc. Remove those.
We need to extract the responsibilities list exactly as given, but we can condense? Must preserve all substantive information; we can list each duty as
- . The list is long; we need to include all duties mentioned.
Let's parse responsibilities section:
"Examples of Duties Essential Duties/Major Responsibilities Any of the following duties may be performed. These examples are not necessarily performed by all incumbents, however, and do not include all specific tasks an incumbent may be expected to perform."
Then list:
- Serve as primary contact for library staff concerning department's services and programs.
- Resolve basic service issues with staff and/or service facilities and outside agencies.
- Respond to internal and external inquiries.
- Research requests for information or materials as needed.
- Assist new and lower level staff.
- May oversee or assist in overseeing workflow or assigning work.
- Resolve vehicle maintenance and functioning requests or issues.
- Disseminate information to staff on basic Mobile Services vehicle operations, as well as drive Mobile Services fleet vehicle on occasion.
- Provide general assistance with all department program and services.
- Order and distribute materials necessary to support department's programs and services.
- Ensure timely preparation of collection and/or material shipments to libraries.
- Performs database searches to locate distributing materials.
- Prepare contracts for public programs and story times.
- Manage records and information necessary for department's services and programs, such as patron and facilities information, vendors, program attendance and scheduling.
- Prepare accurate, timely and detailed reports in budgeting, material ordering, distribution and program and services related statistics.
- May update and maintain assigned manuals and documentation used within the department.
- Monitor and maintain office inventory and order materials and/or supplies.
- Correspond via e-mail, fax, letter, and phone with KCLS staff and/or outside vendors, contractors or patrons.
- Perform various clerical duties such as, filing, faxing, answering phones, photocopying, and meeting arrangements.
- Coordinate intradepartmental functions and services.
Then Secondary Duties list:
- May assist in processing patron requests including placing holds on KCLS owned materials.
- Assist others with office equipment.
- May provide clerical assistance at meetings.
- Provide back up to others within department.
- Participate in meetings, conferences, and seminars.
- Perform other related duties as necessary or assigned.
We should include both essential and secondary duties as responsibilities.
Now Requirements: "Desired Minimum Qualification Education And Experience A typical way of obtaining the ability to perform the job duties and responsibilities listed above and the knowledge, abilities and skills outlined below is through: A high school diploma or GED equivalent. At least two years’ related experience. Or, an equivalent combination of training and experience. Special Requirements Valid Washington State driver’s license. Must successfully complete KCLS driver training within the first three months of employment."
Also Physical Demands & Work Environment: we could include under Requirements? But guidelines: we have headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Physical Demands maybe could be under Requirements or Qualifications? It's not exactly qualification but maybe we can put under Requirements as additional info. However we should not invent sections; we can include under Requirements as part of qualifications. But we need to decide.
We have Core Competencies list: Customer Focus, Valuing Diversity, Ethics, Values, and Judgment, Professional & Technical Knowledge, Communicates Effectively, Teamwork/Collaborating, Interpersonal Savvy. Those are skills/competencies.
Thus Skills section can list those.
Now Schedule: Monday-Thursday, 8:00am-4:00pm.
Now About the role: we can combine the initial summary: "The Mobile Services team at King County Library System is seeking a Program Assistant to provide critical clerical support. In This Position, You Will Have The Opportunity To Serve as primary contact for library staff concerning Mobile Services Department's programs and services Perform data processing, bookkeeping, and records management for Mobile Services Resolve vehicle maintenance and requests and issues Inform staff on Mobile Services vehicle operations The ideal candidate is digitally fluent, able to learn new software quickly, and demonstrates strong communication and organizational skills. Accuracy, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously are essential."
We need to preserve all substantive information; we can keep as paragraph(s). Might split into
.
Now we must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, etc. Also remove "About King County Library System (KCLS)" description? That's about organization, not role. Could we include under About the role? Might be considered extra but it's substantive about employer. However guidelines: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. The "About King County Library System" is about the organization, not the role. Could we put under About the role? Might be okay but maybe better to omit as not required? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we must keep that info about KCLS. Where to put? Could create a section "About the organization" but not in allowed headings. Allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No "About the organization". So we must fit it somewhere else, maybe under About the role? But that might be stretching. However we could treat "About the role" as including both role and organization info. The guidelines didn't forbid adding extra content under those headings; they just said use those headings for section headings. So we can put the KCLS description under About the role as a paragraph.
Thus About the role will contain both the role summary and the organization description.
Now we must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat.
Now produce HTML:

... education/experience ... Special Requirements ... Physical Demands & Work Environment ...

Schedule
Monday-Thursday, 8:00am-4:00pm
Check we didn't include Benefits, Pay.
Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, etc. We removed those.
Now verify we kept all substantive info:
From initial summary: we included.
From ideal candidate: included.
From KCLS description: included.
From responsibilities: we included all essential and secondary duties.
From Requirements: education/experience, special requirements, physical demands & work environment.
From Core Competencies: listed.
From schedule: included.
Now check for any missed: "Applicants must attach a current resume and cover letter..." removed (application instruction). Good.
Now ensure we didn't include "Examples of Duties Essential Duties/Major Responsibilities Any of the following duties may be performed..." as heading; we just list duties.
Now format: Use proper HTML. No extra whitespace issues.
Let's craft.
About the role paragraph: combine sentences.
We'll write:

That seems to capture all.
Now Responsibilities list: we need to include each duty as - . Let's list them exactly as given, preserving punctuation.
