We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to include sections only when content exists. Let's parse the job description. Key content: - Job description and duties: description of TA duties: tutoring one-on-one, facilitating small group sessions, correcting student homework, quizzes, other class work; assisting in testing students; working with teacher to monitor student progress; tracking program completions; assisting with tracking attendance; other routine classroom duties. - Working Conditions: location of Folsom State Prison, free parking, surroundings. - Minimum Requirements: says "You will find the Minimum Requirements in the Class Specification." No explicit list given. So we cannot fabricate. So we may not include a Requirements section unless we have actual content. The posting says "Minimum Requirements You will find the Minimum Requirements in the Class Specification." That's not specific content. So we should not create a Requirements section with placeholder. We could maybe include a short paragraph referencing that details are in class spec, but that's not substantive. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Also "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we should not include Requirements if no specific content. - Pay: The posting includes salary range: "$3,633.00 - $4,548.00". Also mentions "New to State candidates will be hired into the minimum salary of the classification or minimum of alternate range when applicable." Also mentions salary increase every 12 months based on performance evaluation, 5% increase until max. Also mentions effective July 1, 2025, specific bargaining units subject to salary reduction 2%-4.62% in exchange for hours in PLP 2025 per month. Also mention "Newly hired State employees may be placed at the minimum of the salary range." So we have pay details. So we can include a Pay section with that info. - Schedule: Work Shift: 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM, Work Week: M - F, Telework: In Office. Also maybe mention "Work Location: Sacramento County". So schedule details exist. So we can include Schedule section. - Benefits: The posting includes a Benefits section: "Benefit information can be found on the California Department of Human Resources (CalHR) website, www.calhr.ca.gov, and the CalPERS website, www.calpers.ca.gov ..." plus links. So we have benefits info (though generic). It says "Benefit information can be found...". That's somewhat generic but still specific content: references to CalHR and CalPERS. We can include Benefits section with that info. - About the role: Could be the initial description about the role: "Within the context of the Office of Correctional Education (OCE) Academic Program requirements, regulation, and guidelines, under the supervision of the Supervisor of Academic Instruction, and under the direction of a credentialed academic Teacher, the Teaching Assistant (TA) shall give support to Teacher(s) by providing educational services to assigned/enrolled students." That's about the role. Also maybe the vision/mission statements from Department Information could be considered About the role? But those are more about department. However we can include an About the role section using the description of role and duties? But we already have Responsibilities section for duties. So About the role could be a brief summary: role purpose. The posting includes "Individuals who are eligible for a Training and Development assignment may also be considered for this position(s)." That's more about eligibility. Not needed. We need to avoid repeating the job title as heading. The job title is "TEACHING ASSISTANT (CORRECTIONAL FACILITY)". We must not put that as heading. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce sections:

About the role

with paragraph(s) describing role context.

Responsibilities

with
  • list of duties.

    Pay

    with paragraph(s) about salary range, increase, PLP reduction, etc.

    Schedule

    with paragraph(s) about work shift, week, telework, location.

    Benefits

    with paragraph(s) about benefit info sources. We should not include Requirements, Qualifications, Skills unless we have specific content. There's "Minimum Requirements You will find the Minimum Requirements in the Class Specification." Not specific. So skip. We also have "Desirable Qualifications" section: "Willingness to create and promote an equitable and inclusive workplace where diversity is celebrated and valued." That's a desirable qualification. Could be included under Qualifications or Skills. The instruction: Use headings for Qualifications, Skills. We have a specific desirable qualification. So we could include a Qualifications section with that bullet. However we need to decide if that's enough to warrant a section. It's specific content. So we can include a Qualifications section with that bullet. But we also have "Minimum Requirements" not specific; we skip. We also have "Special Requirements" about confidential info etc. That's boilerplate/legal; we should remove. We also have "Contact Information". That's not a standard heading but could be considered "Contact". Not in list of allowed headings; we should not add extra headings beyond those listed. So we should omit contact info. We also have "Department Information" with vision, mission, commitment etc. That's not strictly about the role but could be considered "About the role" or maybe we could add a section "About the department". Not allowed headings. So we could incorporate that into About the role paragraph. We need to preserve all substantive information; we must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the vision/mission/commitment statements? They are substantive. If we put them in About the role, we must include them. However About the role heading is allowed. So we can include that content there. But we must ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO etc. The vision/mission/commitment is not boilerplate; it's substantive. Thus About the role paragraph(s) will include: - Within the context of the Office of Correctional Education (OCE) Academic Program requirements, regulation, and guidelines, under the supervision of the Supervisor of Academic Instruction, and under the direction of a credentialed academic Teacher, the Teaching Assistant (TA) shall give support to Teacher(s) by providing educational services to assigned/enrolled students. - The TA’s duties involve: tutoring one-on-one sessions; facilitating small group sessions; correcting student homework, quizzes, and other class work; assisting in testing students; working with the Teacher to assist with monitoring student progress; tracking program completions; assisting with tracking attendance and, other routine classroom duties. But we already list duties in Responsibilities. To avoid duplication, we could put the role description in About the role, and responsibilities list the specific duties. However the role description includes duties as well; but we can keep it general. We need to preserve all substantive info; we can include both. Now Responsibilities: list each duty as
  • . The posting says: "The TA’s duties involve: tutoring one-on-one sessions; facilitating small group sessions; correcting student homework, quizzes, and other class work; assisting in testing students; working with the Teacher to assist with monitoring student progress; tracking program completions; assisting with tracking attendance and, other routine classroom duties." We'll break into items. Pay: include salary range, new hires at minimum, annual 5% increase until max, PLP reduction 2%-4.62% for specific bargaining units effective July 1, 2025, note about salary reduction in exchange for hours in PLP 2025 per month. Schedule: Work Shift: 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM, Work Week: M - F, Telework: In Office, Work Location: Sacramento County, Free Parking (maybe under Working Conditions but we can include in Schedule or a separate Working Conditions section not allowed; we could include in Schedule or About the role. Since Free Parking is a working condition, we could add to Schedule or maybe a separate section not allowed. Better to include in Schedule paragraph: "Work Schedule: Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM–4:00 PM, in-office at Folsom State Prison (Sacramento County). Free parking provided." Benefits: include paragraph about benefit info sources: CalHR website, CalPERS website, links to salary and benefits page, performance management merit system principles, California State Civil Service Employee Benefits Summary, note that eligibility may be based on classification, bargaining unit, time base, length of appointment. Qualifications: include desirable qualification: "Willingness to create and promote an equitable and inclusive workplace where diversity is celebrated and valued." We might also include "Minimum Requirements" but we don't have specifics; we skip. We also have "Newly hired State employees may be placed at the minimum of the salary range." Already in Pay. We also have "Individuals who are eligible for a Training and Development assignment may also be considered for this position(s)." That's eligibility; not a standard heading; we could maybe include in About the role or Responsibilities? It's about eligibility, not duties. Could be omitted as it's not substantive to role? It's about who may apply. That's more like eligibility criteria. Could be considered Requirements? But it's not a minimum requirement; it's about eligibility for consideration. Might be considered part of Requirements but it's not a qualification. Since we don't have a Requirements section, we could omit. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we should not discard eligibility info if it's substantive. However we have no appropriate heading for it. Could we include it in About the role? It's not about role but about who may apply. Could we add a section "Eligibility"? Not in allowed headings. The allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Eligibility could fit under Requirements (minimum qualifications) but it's not a requirement; it's about eligibility categories like lateral transfer, reinstatement, etc. That's more about who may apply, which is typical for state job postings. Could be considered under Requirements? Might be okay to put under Requirements as it's about eligibility. However the instruction says "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use Requirements heading for eligibility info. But we must ensure we have real specific content for Requirements. The posting includes a list: "Individuals who are currently in the classification, eligible for lateral transfer, eligible for reinstatement, have list or LEAP eligibility, are in the process of obtaining list eligibility, or have SROA and/or Surplus eligibility (please attach your letter, if available). SROA and Surplus candidates are given priority; therefore, individuals with other eligibility may be considered in the event no SROA or Surplus candidates apply. Individuals who are eligible for a Training and Development assignment may also be considered for this position(s)." That's specific content. So we can include a Requirements section with that info. Thus we will have Requirements section with that content as a paragraph or list. We must not include boilerplate like "Who May Apply" heading; we will use Requirements heading. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat content. The eligibility info also appears later under "Who May Apply". We'll capture it once. Now we need to remove duplicated lines, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. We'll strip. Now produce HTML. Let's craft:
