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 need to parse the posting. The posting includes: - Title: Public Defender Investigator II Recruitment #0926-RL3032-01 (but we don't repeat job title as heading). - Approximate Salary $7,784.87 - $9,462.56/month - Opening Date 9/21/2026 12:00:00 PM - Closing Date 10/2/2026 11:59:00 PM - Employment Type Full-Time - Analyst Andrea Handelman (maybe contact? Not needed) - Introduction: "KNOWLEDGE Investigation techniques and procedures; rules of evidence, legal basis for complaints, and court procedures; applicable state, federal, and local codes, laws and ordinances, including State Narcotic Laws, Penal Code, Health and Safety Code, Probate Code and Welfare and Institutions Code." - ABILITY: "Gather and evaluate facts and evidence; draw logical conclusions and take appropriate action, secure necessary information through interviews and interrogations; interact and communicate well with persons of diverse ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds, and with persons from all sectors of the criminal justice system; act as witness in legal proceedings; carry out special and general assignments independently; work effectively with others." - Physical/Mental Requirements: list of mobility, lifting, vision, dexterity, hearing/talking, emotional/psychological, special conditions. - San Joaquin County complies with ADA... (boilerplate, remove) - Benefits: "Click on a link below to apply for this position: Fill out the Supplemental Questionnaire and Application NOW using the Internet. View and print the Supplemental Questionnaire. This recruitment requires completion of a supplemental questionnaire. You may view and print the supplemental questionnaire here. View and print the official application form as an Acrobat pdf file. A San Joaquin County application form is required for this recruitment. You may print this Acrobat PDF document and then fill it in. Contact us via conventional means. You may contact us by phone at (209) 468-3370, or by email, or apply for a job in person at the San Joaquin County Human Resources Division." That's application instructions, not benefits. There's no explicit benefits description. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not list benefits like health insurance, retirement, etc. So we skip Benefits. - Pay: we have Approximate Salary range. So we can include Pay section with that info. - Schedule: we have Employment Type Full-Time, maybe also mention occasional overtime, weekend or evening work, long hours at odd times. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with Full-Time and note about occasional overtime, weekend/evening work, long hours. - About the role: maybe we can include Introduction as About the role? The posting has "Introduction" then knowledge and ability. Could treat that as About the role. - Responsibilities: maybe the ABILITY section includes duties? Could treat as Responsibilities. - Requirements: Physical/Mental Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe knowledge section? Could be Qualifications. - Skills: maybe combine knowledge and ability? But we need to avoid thin sections. We need to decide which sections have substantive content. We have: - Knowledge (investigation techniques, laws) -> could be Qualifications. - Ability (gather facts, etc.) -> could be Responsibilities. - Physical/Mental Requirements -> Requirements. - Pay -> Pay. - Schedule -> Schedule (Full-Time, occasional overtime, weekend/evening work, long hours). We should not create Benefits. We should not repeat job title. We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for each section. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. We need to remove boilerplate: ADA, EEO, application instructions, contact info? The contact info is part of application instructions; we should remove. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, etc. We need to keep the salary, dates, employment type? The dates maybe not needed as a section; could be placed in a short

    maybe under About the role? But we should not create a heading for metadata unless it's part of a section. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." So we can include Opening/Closing dates and maybe Job ID in a short paragraph under About the role or at top. We need to preserve all substantive information: salary, employment type, schedule details, knowledge, ability, physical/mental requirements. We need to not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual salary range, so Pay section is valid. Schedule: we have Full-Time and mention occasional overtime, weekend or evening work, long hours at odd times. That's substantive. Now we need to decide which headings to use: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have content for About the role (maybe introduction + metadata). Responsibilities (ability). Requirements (physical/mental). Qualifications (knowledge). Skills maybe not distinct; we could combine knowledge and ability into Skills? But we already have Qualifications and Responsibilities. Skills could be omitted if no specific skill list beyond knowledge/ability. Better to omit Skills section. Benefits: none. Pay: yes. Schedule: yes. Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. Check if any content duplicates: Knowledge (qualifications) includes investigation techniques, laws. Ability (responsibilities) includes gathering facts, etc. Physical/mental requirements (requirements). Pay: salary range. Schedule: Full-Time, occasional overtime, weekend/evening work, long hours. Now we need to format. About the role: Could include a brief paragraph describing the role: maybe combine introduction sentence? The posting didn't have a prose description besides the knowledge and ability headings. But we can treat the "Introduction" as a heading but we cannot reuse as heading because we need to use

    for section headings like About the role. So we will put a

    summarizing the role: maybe "The Public Defender Investigator II conducts investigations, gathers evidence, interviews witnesses, and works within the criminal justice system." But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we need to preserve all substantive information. We cannot add new info not present. However we can rephrase existing info as prose, as long as we keep the meaning. The knowledge and ability sections are lists; we can turn them into prose but must preserve details. That's acceptable. Thus for About the role we could include a short paragraph that mentions the role is Public Defender Investigator II, maybe include the recruitment # and dates as minor metadata. But we must not repeat the job title as a heading; we can mention it in a paragraph. Let's extract the substantive pieces: - Recruitment #0926-RL3032-01 (metadata) - Approximate Salary $7,784.87 - $9,462.56/month - Opening Date 9/21/2026 12:00:00 PM - Closing Date 10/2/2026 11:59:00 PM - Employment Type Full-Time - Knowledge: Investigation techniques and procedures; rules of evidence, legal basis for complaints, and court procedures; applicable state, federal, and local codes, laws and ordinances, including State Narcotic Laws, Penal Code, Health and Safety Code, Probate Code and Welfare and Institutions Code. - Ability: Gather and evaluate facts and evidence; draw logical conclusions and take appropriate action, secure necessary information through interviews and interrogations; interact and communicate well with persons of diverse ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds, and with persons from all sectors of the criminal justice system; act as witness in legal proceedings; carry out special and general assignments independently; work effectively with others. - Physical/Mental Requirements: Mobility --Frequent operation of keyboards, sitting for extended periods, standing for long periods, walking, driving and climbing stairs; occasional pushing/pulling, bending/squatting, climbing stairs or other objects and crawling; Lifting –frequently 5 pounds or less; occasionally 5 – 30 pounds; Vision – Good overall vision; frequent reading and close-up work, hand and eye coordination, color/depth perception ; Dexterity –normal dexterity with frequent writing, holding and repetitive motion; occasional reaching and grasping; Hearing/Talking – Constant hearing/talking on the telephone/radio and in person; Emotional/psychological – Constant concentration, public contact and decision making; frequent time spent working alone; Special conditions – may be exposed to dust and varied outdoor conditions; may require occasional overtime, weekend or evening work, to include long hours at odd times of the day or night. We also have ADA statement (remove). Benefits none. Now we need to output HTML. Structure:

    About the role

    Public Defender Investigator II (Recruitment #0926-RL3032-01). Opening date: 9/21/2026; Closing date: 10/2/2026. Employment type: Full-Time.

    But we might also include a brief description of role using knowledge/ability? However that may duplicate with Responsibilities and Qualifications sections. Better to keep About the role short metadata only, and then have separate sections for Qualifications (knowledge), Responsibilities (ability), Requirements (physical/mental), Pay, Schedule. Thus About the role will just have the metadata. Now Responsibilities: we need to list duties from Ability section as
    • . Each bullet corresponds to each semicolon-separated item. Let's parse Ability: "Gather and evaluate facts and evidence; draw logical conclusions and take appropriate action, secure necessary information through interviews and interrogations; interact and communicate well with persons of diverse ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds, and with persons from all sectors of the criminal justice system; act as witness in legal proceedings; carry out special and general assignments independently; work effectively with others." We need to split by semicolon but careful with commas inside. Items: 1. Gather and evaluate facts and evidence 2. draw logical conclusions and take appropriate action, secure necessary information through interviews and interrogations 3. interact and communicate well with persons of diverse ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds, and with persons from all sectors of the criminal justice system 4. act as witness in legal proceedings 5. carry out special and general assignments independently 6. work effectively with others We can keep as is. Now Requirements: Physical/Mental Requirements list. We need to turn into
      • . The text includes multiple categories separated by line breaks? We'll treat each major category as a list item. We have: - Mobility --Frequent operation of keyboards, sitting for extended periods, standing for long periods, walking, driving and climbing stairs; occasional pushing/pulling, bending/squatting, climbing stairs or other objects and crawling; - Lifting –frequently 5 pounds or less; occasionally 5 – 30 pounds; - Vision – Good overall vision; frequent reading and close-up work, hand and eye coordination, color/depth perception ; - Dexterity –normal dexterity with frequent writing, holding and repetitive motion; occasional reaching and grasping; - Hearing/Talking – Constant hearing/talking on the telephone/radio and in person; - Emotional/psychological – Constant concentration, public contact and decision making; frequent time spent working alone; - Special conditions – may be exposed to dust and varied outdoor conditions; may require occasional overtime, weekend or evening work, to include
