We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe from Position Summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (General Application Requirements + Qualifying Requirements?), Qualifications (maybe education/experience?), Skills (maybe not explicit), Benefits (none explicit), Pay (salary), Schedule (maybe mention some evening and weekend work). We should only include sections if there is real specific content.
We have Salary: $73,545 per year -> Pay section.
Schedule: "Some evening and weekend work may be required." That's schedule info.
Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly. So we should not include Benefits section.
Skills: Not explicit list; maybe we can infer but we should not invent. So omit Skills.
Qualifications: Could combine education and experience requirements. But we also have Requirements section (General Application Requirements). The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide which sections to include.
We have content for About the role (position summary). Responsibilities (duties). Requirements (general application requirements). Qualifications (education/experience). Pay. Schedule.
We should not repeat job title as heading. Also not include Job ID etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the details as lists or paragraphs.
We must use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Thus: - About the role: a paragraph summarizing position summary. - Responsibilities: list of duties (general position duties and specific position duties). Could combine into one list? Might be long; but we need to preserve all substantive information. Could break into subheadings? But only allowed headings are those listed; we cannot add custom headings like "General Position Duties". However we could still include paragraphs before lists. The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use h3 for section headings (e.g. those). Likely we should only use those headings; we could still have paragraphs inside sections. Thus within Responsibilities section, we can have a paragraph intro then a
- with list items covering all duties.
We need to capture all duties from General Position Duties and each Specific Position Duties bullet.
