Senior Attorney
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove LinkedIn line? It's not boilerplate but maybe considered external link; but it's not required to keep? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." LinkedIn is not those; but it's maybe considered external link not needed. However we should preserve all substantive information. The LinkedIn URL is not substantive about job; it's just a link to company posts. Might be considered not essential. Safer to drop it? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The LinkedIn link is not substantive about the role; it's just a company page. Could be considered boilerplate? Not explicitly. I'd keep it maybe as a
with link? But they said remove application instructions; LinkedIn is not application instruction. I'd keep it as a
maybe.
We need sections: About the role? The posting includes description of OPWDD mission, role description. Could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities". We have duties list. We'll create sections: About the role (prose), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (maybe qualifications), Qualifications (maybe same as requirements?), Skills (maybe not explicit), Benefits (list), Pay (list), Schedule (telecommuting info). Must only include sections when posting has real specific content.
Let's extract:

- Responsibilities: list of duties: Representing agency at administrative hearings (preparing witnesses, exhibits, opening/closing statements, examining witnesses, preparing appeals, keeping managers advised), Advising on service delivery topics (employment services, residential relocations, post-education adult service development, individual rights, housing subsidies), Advising on healthcare topics (guardianships, health care proxies, Medical Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment), Drafting regulations, ADMs, policies related to service delivery and individual rights; Conducting research and writing on matters related to service delivery; Completing other matters as assigned.

The transfer cannot be a second consecutive transfer resulting in an advancement of more than two salary grades. Additional Comments: NY HELPS program details, salary ranges, etc. Also info about loan forgiveness, benefits, etc.
We need to decide sections: Requirements (maybe minimum qualifications), Qualifications (maybe same). Could combine but instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have "Qualifications" covering minimum qualifications and transfer info. "Benefits" covering savings programs, health care, paid parental leave, retirement, professional development, etc. "Pay" covering salary ranges for each level. "Schedule" covering 50% telecommuting after six months.
We must not create sections with placeholder text like "not specified". All sections we create must have real content.

Voluntary pre-tax savings programs such as Health Care Spending Account and Dependent Care Advantage Account. Access to Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Life insurance and Disability insurance. NYS Deferred Compensation Plan. Paid Holidays and Leave: 13 paid holidays, 13 days paid vacation initially, 5 days paid personal leave each year, 13 days paid sick leave each year (may carry over), up to 3 days professional leave each year.
