We need to extract substantive content: job description, responsibilities, qualifications, maybe benefits (though only says check benefit tab, not specific). Since benefits not detailed, we should not create Benefits section because it's not specific. Similarly Pay: not given (salary range not specified). Schedule: we have work schedule Monday-Friday 8:30-5, alternate may be available. That's specific enough for Schedule section. So we can include Schedule.
We need sections: maybe About the role (could be the description paragraph). Responsibilities (What You’ll Get To Do). Requirements/Qualifications (To Qualify). Skills (Who You Are traits). Benefits? Not specific, skip. Pay? skip. Schedule? include.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have heading for job title.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting that are substantive, but we can format them.
We must remove boilerplate: navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should remove the "Application Material: Please click APPLY..." etc. Also remove recruitment process steps? Those are part of application instructions? Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove the recruitment process steps (they are application instructions). Also remove "Questions?: Terrol Johnson..." maybe that's contact info; not sure if considered boilerplate. It's not EEO, but it's contact. Might be considered application instruction? Probably keep? The instruction says remove application instructions, but contact info maybe not. However, to be safe, we could keep contact as part of "About the role"? Not sure. The posting includes "Questions?: Terrol Johnson Senior Recruiter terrol.johnson@portlandoregon.gov". That's contact info; could be considered part of application instructions. I'd lean to remove it as it's not substantive job content. But we need to preserve all substantive information; contact info is substantive for applicants. However, the instruction says remove application instructions; contact info is part of that. I'd remove it.
Also remove "Did you know?" and "An Equal Opportunity Employer". Also remove "About The Bureau", "About The Division", "About Safe Routes To School" maybe those are substantive description of bureau; they are not boilerplate; they give context. Should we keep? They are substantive info about the bureau/division/program. Likely keep as part of "About the role" or separate sections? The instruction says we can have sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine bureau/division/program description into About the role.
Thus we can have sections:
- About the role (description of role, bureau, division, program)
- Responsibilities (What You’ll Get To Do)
- Qualifications (minimum qualifications)
- Skills (Who You Are traits)
- Schedule (work schedule)
We must not include Benefits because not specific.
We need to preserve all substantive info: let's extract.
