for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Remove boilerplate, etc. We need to parse the posting. Job title: Special Program Paraeducator 2, Integrated Communication & Sensory Program 6.5 hours per day, 9 months per year This is a one-on-one position Fair Labor Standards Act Status: Non-Exempt We should not repeat job title as heading. We can include a short
for metadata maybe. We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Let's extract content. From posting: - "Special Program Paraeducator 2, Integrated Communication & Sensory Program 6.5 hours per day, 9 months per year This is a one-on-one position Fair Labor Standards Act Status: Non-Exempt" -> could be About the role. - Then paragraphs about appreciation, application process, reference checks, etc. Those are boilerplate; we should remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should drop generic statements about applications, reference checks, background investigation, etc. Those are likely boilerplate. We need to preserve substantive info: qualifications, requirements, knowledge/skills/abilities, other requirements, essential functions, benefits/compensation. Let's extract substantive sections: Qualifications: "Qualifications Documentation verifying a high school diploma or GED ANDOne of the following: official transcripts verifying an Associate’s degree (90 quarter, 60 semester) OR 72 quarter or 48 semester credits from an accredited university, college, community college or business school; OR ETS ParaPro Assessment result of 461 or higherOne year of related experience working with children in an educational setting preferredSuccessful experience as part of an educational team preferredExperience which demonstrates excellent interpersonal skills and skills in working effectively in a team environment, providing support to achieve the desired goal(s) for the classroom and/or program areaPossess excellent problem solving, analytical, and conflict resolution skills and ability to think quicklyExperience working with children with moderated to severe disabilities preferred" We need to format as list maybe. Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities: bullet list. Other Requirements: list of physical abilities. Essential Functions: list of duties. Benefits/Compensation: includes salary & time off, benefits, retirement. Pay: maybe salary details. Schedule: maybe hours per day, months per year. We need to decide which sections to include. We have specifics: - Hours: 6.5 hours per day, 9 months per year. That's schedule. - Pay: Not explicit salary amount, but mentions "New employees start at the minimum hourly rate in the salary range. However, employees with verified prior years of service ... may receive experience credit toward salary placement. Salary schedules can be accessed here." That's some pay info but not specific numbers. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state schedule (6.5 hours per day, 9 months per year). It does mention salary range but not specific numbers; still it's about pay. Should we include Pay section? It says "New employees start at the minimum hourly rate in the salary range." That's some info about pay. It's not "commensurate with experience" etc. It's specific enough? It mentions salary schedules can be accessed. I'd say we can include Pay section with that info. Benefits: they list health, dental, vision, etc. So Benefits section. Now About the role: we can summarize the position description: Special Program Paraeducator 2, Integrated Communication & Sensory Program, one-on-one, 6.5 hrs/day, 9 months/year, Non-Exempt. Responsibilities: could be Essential Functions list. Requirements: maybe Qualifications? But we have Qualifications and Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, Other Requirements. We need to map to headings: Qualifications, Skills, Requirements? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which headings to use based on content. We have: - About the role: position overview. - Responsibilities: essential functions/duties. - Requirements: maybe the qualifications (education, experience) plus other requirements? Could combine. - Qualifications: maybe the education/experience specifics. - Skills: knowledge, skills, abilities. - Benefits: benefits. - Pay: salary info. - Schedule: hours. We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each has substantive content. Let's draft:

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings; we can also use others? Probably better to stick to those. So we need to map content to those headings only.

We have content for:
