We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, etc. But we can keep some info like department, location, salary, schedule (exam date), qualifications, requirements.
We need sections: About the role (maybe description of role), Responsibilities (maybe not explicit), Requirements (maybe driver license, hazwoper), Qualifications (education/experience), Skills (maybe knowledge of arithmetic etc), Benefits (none explicit), Pay (salary levels), Schedule (maybe exam schedule? Or work schedule? Not given; only exam schedule. Could treat Examination Schedule as schedule? But schedule likely refers to work schedule; not provided. So we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does not state work schedule. So omit Schedule.
Benefits: not stated. Omit.
Pay: we have salary levels. Include Pay section.
About the role: we can summarize role: Public Works Maintenance Worker I/II/III, works in East Kern Region, department Public Works. Provide location willingness.
Responsibilities: Not explicit; maybe we can infer from exam content: knowledge of basic arithmetic, scales, tools, operation of equipment. But that's more qualifications. Could we create Responsibilities section with bullet list of duties? Not given. Better to omit if no specific content.
Requirements: driver license, hazwoper, maybe background check, medical/drug screening, ID for exam. Those are requirements.
Qualifications: education/experience per level.
Skills: knowledge of basic arithmetic, scales, weights and measurements, tools and materials, operation of tools and gasoline/diesel-powered construction and maintenance equipment.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must include all details: locations, salary ranges, exam date, exam content, passing score, qualification details per level, driver license requirements, hazwoper, application submission info, department, background check, medical/drug screening, eligible list duration, etc.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, ADA, equal opportunity, etc. Remove those lines.
We must not include duplicated lines.
We must not include application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should remove lines about attaching materials, delivering copy, email. Those are application instructions. So we should drop that.
Also remove "For more information about the department, please view their website here." and similar links.
Remove "For more information regarding Kern County's recruitment process, please see our FAQ page."
Remove "To learn more about Kern County, click here or follow us:" etc.
Remove "Growth Mindset" etc? That's boilerplate about culture; maybe not required but could be considered extra. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Growth Mindset" paragraph is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered fluff. Might be okay to keep? It's not required but could be considered extra. Safer to remove? It's not EEO or legal. It's about culture. Might be considered non-substantive? It's not specific to job. I'd remove it to keep only substantive.
Similarly "About Kern County" paragraph about employees provide opportunities... That's generic. Might be considered boilerplate. Remove.
Thus we keep: Position Information (location willingness), Salary/Pay, Examination Schedule (date), Examination content, Minimum Qualifications per level, Additional Requirements (driver license, hazwoper, class A/B), Department (Public Works), Additional Information (ID requirement, background check, medical/drug screening, eligible list duration). Also maybe "Full Job Description For Public Works Maintenance Worker I II III" is just heading; we can treat as role description.
We need to structure with headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections have content.
About the role: we can include description: Public Works Maintenance Worker I/II/III positions in East Kern Region, working for Public Works Department, locations list, willingness to work one or more.
Responsibilities: Not given; maybe we can omit.
Requirements: include driver license, hazwoper, background check, medical/drug screening, ID for exam, maybe willingness to work locations.
Qualifications: education/experience per level.
Skills: knowledge of basic arithmetic, scales, weights and measurements, tools and materials, operation of tools and gasoline/diesel-powered construction and maintenance equipment.
Pay: salary levels.
Schedule: we have examination schedule date; but that's not work schedule. Could we treat as Schedule? The instruction says include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state Examination Schedule. Might be considered schedule of exam. But likely they want work schedule. Safer to omit Schedule section because no work schedule given. However we could include Examination Schedule under a different heading? Not allowed; only those headings. So we omit Schedule.
Benefits: none.
Thus we output sections: About the role, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay.
We need to include all substantive info.
