PUBLIC DEFENDER INVESTIGATOR III Mental Health Division
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 as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- Introduction: includes EEO statement etc. That's boilerplate; we should remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we can drop that.
- The Office of the Public Defender is seeking detail-oriented applicants with investigative and interviewing skills, as well as excellent communication and writing skills to fill Public Defender Investigator III position located in our Mental Health Division Anne Arundel County office.
- GRADE ASTD12 LOCATION OF POSITION 7030 Dorsey Road, Suite 100, Hanover, MD 21076
- Main Purpose of Job ... (description)
- POSITION DUTIES ... (list)
- Minimum Qualifications ... (Education, Experience, Notes)
- Desired Or Preferred Qualifications ... (list)
- LICENSES, REGISTRATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS ... (motor vehicle operator's license)
- Special Requirements ... (background check) (duplicate earlier)
- SELECTION PROCESS ... (application instructions) - we should remove application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should drop SELECTION PROCESS, EXAMINATION PROCESS, Benefits STATE OF MARYLAND BENEFITS FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS etc. However Benefits section: we need to include Benefits only if posting actually states them. There's a line: "Benefits STATE OF MARYLAND BENEFITS FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS". That seems like a heading but no actual benefits listed. It says "Benefits STATE OF MARYLAND BENEFITS FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS". No specific benefits described. So we should not create a Benefits section because no specific benefits listed. Similarly Pay and Schedule not mentioned.
Thus we may have sections: About the role (maybe Main Purpose of Job), Responsibilities (POSITION DUTIES), Requirements (Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (Desired Or Preferred Qualifications), Skills (maybe from opening statement), Licenses (LICENSES...), Special Requirements (background check). But we must follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can only use those headings. So we need to map content to those headings.
We must not invent headings not in list. So we can only use those eight possible headings. We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
- About the role: could include Main Purpose of Job and location/grade etc.
- Responsibilities: POSITION DUTIES.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications.
- Qualifications: Desired Or Preferred Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe the opening statement about detail-oriented applicants with investigative and interviewing skills, excellent communication and writing skills.
- Benefits: none specific, so omit.
- Pay: none, omit.
- Schedule: none, omit.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to output HTML fragment with headings and appropriate
or
- .
We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details like location, grade, main purpose, duties, qualifications, desired qualifications, skills, license requirement, special requirement (background check). Also note about ability to operate computer, access to vehicle/public transport, etc. Those are in introduction but we removed EEO boilerplate; but those are substantive: "All applicants must be able to communicate with clients and visitors and possess the ability to complete tasks in a fast-paced work environment." "Applicants must be able to operate a computer and other office equipment." "Applicants must have access to a motor vehicle or be able to navigate public transportation." Those are requirements; could go under Requirements or maybe Skills. We'll include them in Requirements (Minimum Qualifications) maybe as part of notes.
Also note about background check appears twice; we should include once.
We must not repeat job title as heading; we won't.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers; none present.
We must not include application instructions; we will drop SELECTION PROCESS etc.
We must not include boilerplate EEO etc.
Now craft sections.
About the role: include Main Purpose of Job, location, grade, maybe the seeking detail-oriented applicants line.
Responsibilities: POSITION DUTIES bullet list.
Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (Education, Experience, Notes) plus the ability to communicate, fast-paced, computer operation, vehicle access, background check.
Qualifications: Desired Or Preferred Qualifications bullet list.
Skills: maybe the opening statement about detail-oriented applicants with investigative and interviewing skills, excellent communication and writing skills. Could also include other skills like interviewing, investigation, report writing, court testimony, etc. But we should stick to what's given.
We need to ensure we don't duplicate content.
Let's extract specifics.
From text:

Now we need to avoid duplication. We'll include background check once, maybe under Requirements or Special Requirements but we only have headings list; we can put under Requirements.
Now craft HTML.
We'll start with
About the role
thencontaining the purpose, location, grade, and the seeking detail-oriented line. We need to preserve all substantive info: include location, grade, main purpose, seeking detail-oriented. Let's compose:
The Office of the Public Defender is seeking detail-oriented applicants with investigative and interviewing skills, as well as excellent communication and writing skills to fill the Public Defender Investigator III position in the Mental Health Division, Anne Arundel County office. The position is graded ASTD12 and located at 7030 Dorsey Road, Suite 100, Hanover, MD 21076.
Then maybe anotherfor Main Purpose of Job: we could combine but better separate. We could have
Main Purpose of Job: The Public Defender Investigator III conducts advanced-level investigations in cases involving persons represented by the Office of the Public Defender in involuntary civil commitment, Not Criminally Responsible, post-NCR not criminally responsible and incompetent to stand trial commitment matters, and assisted outpatient treatment cases. Investigations develop, gather, or verify information to defend involuntarily hospitalized individuals and those facing involuntary outpatient commitment. The role includes interviewing clients for medical and legal history, developing leads, gathering evidence, preparing written reports, maintaining frequent contact with witnesses, family, associates, medical/social service/law enforcement personnel, and may require court appearance as a witness. Additional responsibilities involve researching and interviewing clients, social workers, medical personnel, counselors, housing providers; entering case data into the case management system; reviewing discovery (including body-worn camera footage and video surveillance); and serving and filing subpoenas.
But we need to avoid duplication with Responsibilities section. The POSITION DUTIES section is similar but more specific. We could keep Main Purpose as a brief overview and Responsibilities as detailed list. Thus About the role could include location, grade, and the seeking detail-oriented line. Main Purpose could be part of About the role or separate? Since we only have About the role heading, we can put all role description there. But we also need Responsibilities heading for duties list. Thus we will put in About the role: location, grade, and the seeking detail-oriented line plus maybe a brief summary of purpose (not too detailed). Then Responsibilities will have the detailed duties list. Let's extract purpose summary: "The Public Defender Investigator III conducts investigations in cases involving persons represented by
