The user wants me to reformat a job posting into clean, well-structured semantic HTML. I need to follow the rules: 1. Use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule) 2. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose 3. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) 4. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it 5. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail 6. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions 7. Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text 8. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them 9. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones 10. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences Let me analyze the job posting content: The posting has: - Job metadata (Job Class, Agency, Job ID, Location, Telework Eligible, Full/Part Time, Regular/Temporary, Who May Apply, Date Posted, Closing Date, Hiring Agency, Division/Unit, Work Shift/Work Hours, Days of Work, Travel Required, Salary Range, Classified Status, FLSA Status, Designated in Connect 700 Program) - Description of the work: part-time administrative, research, and logistical support to DOC Legislative Director during legislative session - Eligibility requirements for Student Worker Paraprofessional Senior (enrollment requirements) - Minimum Qualifications (education + assessed abilities) - Preferred Qualifications - Physical Requirements - Additional Requirements (background checks, fingerprinting, E-Verify, visa sponsorship, work authorization) - How To Apply (application instructions) - Contact information - About Corrections Dept (marketing blurb) - Benefits section (detailed benefits list) - EEO/Equal Opportunity boilerplate - Applicants With Disabilities boilerplate I need to structure this into semantic HTML with appropriate sections. Let me identify the substantive sections: 1. About the role / Job Overview - the description of the work 2. Eligibility Requirements - the student worker enrollment requirements 3. Minimum Qualifications - education and assessed abilities 4. Preferred Qualifications 5. Physical Requirements 6. Additional Requirements 7. Benefits - the detailed benefits list 8. Contact Information - contact details I should fold the metadata into a short

    at the beginning or in a "Job Details" section. The salary range is given ($20.20 - $24.02 / hourly), so I can include that in a Pay section or in the metadata. The schedule info: Part-Time, up to 20 hours per week, Day Shift, Monday-Friday. That's schedule info. The user said: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting does state salary range, schedule (part-time, up to 20 hours/week, day shift, Mon-Fri), and benefits (detailed list). So I can include Pay, Schedule, and Benefits sections. But the user also said: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So I should combine where appropriate. Let me plan the sections: - Job Details (metadata folded into a paragraph) - About the Role (description) - Eligibility Requirements (student enrollment criteria) - Minimum Qualifications (education + abilities) - Preferred Qualifications - Physical Requirements - Additional Requirements - Pay (salary range) - Schedule (part-time, hours, shift, days) - Benefits (detailed list) - Contact Information I need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, applicants with disabilities, application instructions (How To Apply), scam warnings, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. The "About Corrections Dept" is marketing blurb; I could include it as "About the Agency" or fold into About the Role. But it's generic agency description, not specific to the role. The user said "Preserve ALL substantive information". The agency description is somewhat substantive but generic. I'll include it as a brief "About the Agency" section. Now, let's write the HTML. I'll start with a paragraph for job metadata: Job Class, Agency, Location, Job ID, etc. But the user said "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." So I'll create a

    with key metadata: Job Class, Agency, Location, Part-Time, Limited, Salary Range, etc. Then sections with

    headings. For lists, use
    • . For prose, use

      . Let's draft. First, metadata paragraph:

      Job Class: Student Worker Paraprofessional Senior | Agency: Minnesota Department of Corrections | Location: St. Paul | Job ID: 97937 | Type: Part-Time (up to 20 hours/week), Limited | Salary: $20.20 – $24.02/hour | Shift: Day Shift, Monday–Friday | Telework Eligible: Yes | Travel Required: No | Posted: 10/23/2026 | Closes: 11/05/2026

      But the user said "fold minor metadata into a short

      or drop it." This is a short paragraph. Now sections:
