Public Information Representative I/II - Fire Department
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (EEO, accommodation contact, etc). Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Visit here to learn more..." etc. Remove "The City of San José is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Remove "If you need assistance..." etc. Remove "Selection Process:" maybe keep? It's part of hiring process but maybe considered application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. Selection process details could be considered application instructions? It says "Additional phases of the selection process will consist of one or more interviews." That's part of hiring process; maybe we should keep? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So selection process is application instructions, so remove. Also "Additional Information: Employment Eligibility..." is legal/EEO? It's about work eligibility, maybe remove. Also "AI and the Hiring Process" maybe remove as application instructions. So we keep: About The Department, Position Duties, Salary range(s), Minimum Qualifications, Other Qualifications. Possibly also "Acceptable Substitutions" part of Minimum Qualifications. Also "Licensing requirements". Also "Other Qualifications" list.
We need to format.
Let's extract content:
About The Department paragraph: "The San José Fire Department's (SJFD) mission is to serve the community by protecting life, property, and the environment through prevention and response. SJFD is a high-volume, high-performance, “all hazard” fire department, responding to approximately 110,000 calls for service each year from 34 Fire Stations. SJFD’s service area includes a number of high-hazard occupancies, including an international airport; a general aviation reliever airport; five major hospitals (including two trauma centers, and five emergency departments); the SAP Center, home of the NHL’s San Jose Sharks (17,500 capacity); PayPal Park, home of MLS’s San Jose Earthquakes and the NWSL’s Bay FC (18,000 capacity); San José State University (the oldest public institution of higher education on the West Coast) with a student population of 36,000; three super regional malls; approx. 100 high-rise structures; and the United States Patent and Trademark Office."
That's prose.
Position Duties: multiple paragraphs. We need to convert to
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The duties are described in sentences; we could break each duty into list items. The instruction: "Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". So we should turn the duties into a list. Let's extract each duty bullet:
- Oversee and coordinate community outreach efforts designed to build strong relationships between the San José Fire Department and the diverse communities it serves. This includes developing and supporting public education programs, coordinating community presentations and engagement opportunities, and working with firefighters and Department personnel to provide the resources, guidance, and support necessary for effective community outreach.
- Develop multilingual public education materials and messaging for a diverse audience, with an emphasis on fire prevention and life safety. Materials and programs may address a variety of occupancies and audiences, including restaurants, small businesses, apartment buildings, single-family residences, and other community settings.
- Develop and promote focused safety campaigns throughout the year, including campaigns associated with holidays, seasonal changes, and emerging fire and life safety concerns.
- Maintain appropriate inventories of public education materials and supplies, including brochures, activity books, and other outreach resources.
- Develop engaging, timely content for the Department’s social media channels and other digital platforms. This includes identifying opportunities to highlight Department programs, services, community partnerships, events, safety information, personnel, and other activities that support the Department’s mission to protect life, property, and the environment.
- Support the Department’s media relations efforts, including providing assistance with incident-related media updates as needed and coordinating proactive media opportunities to promote Department programs, safety campaigns, community events, and other initiatives.
- Support internal and external events, press conferences, and other Department activities; provide updates to the Department’s website; and assist with other public information and communications needs as assigned.
We could also include "Reporting to the Public Information Manager, the Public Information Representative I/II (PIR) will support the San José Fire Department’s public information and community engagement efforts, with primary responsibility for overseeing the Department’s community outreach program, developing multilingual public education materials, and creating content for the Department’s social media channels." That's a summary; could be a paragraph before list.
Thus we can have a
for that introductory sentence, then
for duties.
Salary range(s): "Salary range(s) for this classification is/are: Public Information Representative I: $88,015.20 – $107,103.36 Public Information Representative II: $97,144.32 – $118,067.04 This salary range(s) includes an approximate five percent (5%) ongoing non-pensionable compensation. Actual salary shall be determined by the final candidates’ qualifications and experience."
We can put as .
Minimum Qualifications: two subcategories: Public Information Representative I and II. Could be a list.
We need to preserve all substantive info. So we can have
Minimum Qualifications
then maybe with two items each containing details.
Public Information Representative I Education and Experience: Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university in journalism, communications, advertising, marketing, public relations, public administration, or closely related field. No minimum experience required.
Public Information Representative II Education and Experience: Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university in journalism, communications, advertising, marketing, public relations, public administration, or closely related field and two years of progressively responsible professional public information, marketing, or public relations experience. No substitution for education.
Acceptable Substitutions: Additional years of professional experience in public relations, public information, or other related experience may be substituted for education on a year-for-year basis up to two years.
Licensing requirements for both classifications: Valid California driver’s license or the ability to obtain one.
We could format as list items.
Other Qualifications: list of competencies.
We need to preserve all: Communication Skills, Customer Service, Flexibility, Political Skills, Job Expertise, Teamwork & Interpersonal Skills, Project Management, Planning, Initiative.
We can make - each.
Now we must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not include Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. We have salary range, that's Pay. So we can include a Pay section? The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use Pay heading. But we also have "About The Department" which is not exactly About the role but we can use About the role heading? The instruction says use those headings for section headings (e.g...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should follow the pattern. Probably better to use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we have content like About The Department, Position Duties (responsibilities), Minimum Qualifications (requirements/qualifications), Other Qualifications (skills). Salary range (Pay). We could map:
- About the role: maybe combine About The Department and position summary? But we have separate About The Department. Could use About the role heading for that.
- Responsibilities: Position Duties.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications.
- Skills: Other Qualifications.
- Pay: Salary range.
We should not create Benefits or Schedule sections as not present.
Thus output:
