PROGRAM TECHNICIAN II
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc as headings; fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive information. We need to extract substantive info: Position details: Working Title: PT II (Program Tech II), Classification: PROGRAM TECHNICIAN II $3,833.00 - $4,804.00. New to State candidates will be hired into the minimum salary of the classification or minimum of alternate range when applicable. # of Positions: Multiple. Work Location: San Joaquin County. Telework: Hybrid. Job Type: Permanent, Full Time. Department Information: mission, vision, guiding principles, etc. Job Description And Duties: description of duties. Special Requirements: background investigation, confidentiality, etc. Also mention Federal fingerprint clearance, background check, I-9 docs, etc. Also mention that position located in Stockton. Also mention that all applications will be screened, etc. Also mention that applicants must be authorized to work in US without visa sponsorship. Also mention recruitment survey, contact email, etc. But we must remove application instructions, EEO boilerplate, etc. However we need to preserve substantive info like duties, requirements, qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule. The posting includes salary range, telework hybrid, work location, job type permanent full time, department mission/vision/guiding principles (could be About the role or About the department). Responsibilities: job description and duties. Requirements: special requirements (background investigation, fingerprint clearance, I-9, confidentiality, employment history, transcripts, residence proof). Qualifications: maybe not explicit besides minimum qualifications referenced but not detailed. Could omit if not specific. Skills: not listed. Benefits: not listed explicitly. Pay: we have salary range. Schedule: not explicit besides full time. Could infer schedule full-time but not given; we should not create Schedule unless posting actually states them. It says Job Type:: Permanent, Full Time. That implies schedule full-time but not explicit hours. Might be considered schedule? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It states Job Type: Permanent, Full Time. That's schedule info (full time). So we can include Schedule section with "Full Time". Pay section with salary range. Benefits: not stated; we should not create Benefits section. About the role: we could use Department Information as about the role/department. Could also include mission/vision/guiding principles. Responsibilities: Job Description And Duties. Requirements: Special Requirements plus maybe mention of Federal fingerprint clearance, background check, I-9, confidentiality, employment history, transcripts, residence proof. Qualifications: Not explicit; maybe we can omit. Skills: not explicit. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, contact email, recruitment survey, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information: so we need to keep mission, vision, guiding principles, job description, duties, special requirements, salary, work location, telework hybrid, job type permanent full time, position located in Stockton, Federal fingerprint clearance, background check, I-9 docs, confidentiality, employment history, transcripts, residence proof, etc. Also note that New to State candidates will be hired into minimum salary. We must not include application instructions like final filing date, how to apply, addresses, etc. Also remove EEO statement, etc. We must not include repeated lines like "The Department of Social Services does not participate in E-Verify..." that's EEO/legal; remove. We must not include "If you would like to share how you learned about this career opportunity..." etc. We must not include "Need help with applying for positions..." etc. We must not include "Follow us on LinkedIn..." etc. We must not include "You will find additional information about the job in the Duty Statement ." maybe keep? It's a reference; but it's not substantive? Might be considered application instruction; better drop. We must not include "Special Requirements" heading? We'll use Requirements section. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's craft:

We might also include a short paragraph for position details like classification, job title, etc. Could be part of About the role. We must not repeat job title as heading; but we can include it in paragraph. Let's extract mission/vision/guiding principles text: "Are you interested in making a difference in the lives of fellow Californians while achieving your career goals?

We can condense but must preserve all substantive information; we should not summarize away detail. So we need to keep the sentences as is, maybe as a paragraph.

For guidance on applying for a state job, visit Three Steps to a State Job Follow us on LinkedIn to stay updated on our latest opportunities. You will find additional information about the job in the Duty Statement . We need to remove application instructions, EEO, etc. But many of these lines are within the job description paragraph; we need to keep substantive info like duties, location, fingerprint clearance, I-9, etc. However lines like "All applications will be screened and only the most qualified will be interviewed." is part of process; maybe considered application instruction? It's about selection; but it's substantive? Might be considered part of hiring process; but instruction says remove application instructions. This line is about screening; could be considered application instruction. Safer to remove it. Also "Subject to Social Security Administration hiring authority." maybe keep? It's about hiring authority; maybe borderline. I'd keep it as it's about the position. "Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States without the need for visa sponsorship by the start date of employment." That's a requirement; keep. "If you would like to share how you learned about this career opportunity..." is application instruction; remove. "Need help with applying for positions..." remove. "For guidance on applying for a state job..." remove. "Follow us on LinkedIn..." remove. "You will find additional information about the job in the Duty Statement ." maybe remove. Thus responsibilities section should include duties, location, fingerprint clearance, background check, I-9, etc. Also note that position located in Stockton (duplicate). Also note that electronic claims allow work to be moved throughout Division based on allocation. We'll craft responsibilities as bullet list maybe each duty asor
