Quality Assurance Analyst - Taxation.
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content to these headings as appropriate. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc). Preserve all substantive info.
We need to decide which sections to include based on actual content.
We have:
- Department Information: mission, vision, values, benefits description (competitive benefits package). This could go under Benefits? Actually benefits described: PERA retirement, medical/dental/vision, disability, life insurance, FSAs, FMLA, PFML, 11 paid holidays, accrued leave, discounts. So we can create a Benefits section with that info.
- Description Of Job: overview of role, mission, etc. Could be About the role.
- What You'll Do: list of responsibilities. That's Responsibilities.
- Minimum Qualifications: Requirements/Qualifications.
- Preferred Qualifications: could be Skills or Qualifications.
- Conditions Of Employment: maybe Requirements? Could be part of Qualifications or separate section like Requirements. But we should avoid thin sections; maybe combine Conditions Of Employment into Requirements or Qualifications? However they are substantive: public trust, tax filing, background check, driving record, etc. Could be a separate section like Requirements (or Conditions). The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which to include.
We have no explicit Pay or Schedule info. So we should NOT create Pay or Schedule sections because posting does not state them.
We have Benefits info, so include Benefits section.
We have Responsibilities (What You'll Do).
We have About the role (Description Of Job + Department Information maybe). Could combine department mission into About the role.
We have Requirements (Minimum Qualifications). Could also include Conditions Of Employment under Requirements.
We have Qualifications/Skills (Preferred Qualifications). Could be Skills.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove duplicated lines.
We need to extract the substantive content.
Let's parse the posting.
Department Information:
- Mission of CDOR: become a trusted partner to every Coloradan, helping them navigate complexities of government so they can thrive. Core values: service, teamwork, accountability, integrity, respect. Vision: empower businesses and individuals through quality customer service, innovation, collaboration. Celebrate diversity, support equitable inclusive culture, embrace differences for innovation. For more exciting info about DOR, enjoy this brief video! (we can ignore video link? It's not substantive? It's a reference; maybe we can keep mention but not necessary. Probably we can drop as it's just a prompt to watch video. It's not essential info. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not legal/EEO but it's promotional. Might be okay to keep but we can drop as not essential. Safer to drop.
- As part of State of Colorado, DOR offers a competitive benefits package to permanent employees: list benefits.
We'll capture benefits list.
