for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.

We need sections: maybe About the role (position overview), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications?), Skills (maybe computer skills), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID/requisition as heading. We must not include boilerplate like diversity statement, reasonable accommodation, etc. Remove those. We must not include application instructions. We must not include mission statement, general functions, etc unless they are substantive? The mission statement maybe not needed; but we could include as part of About the role? Probably not needed. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all substantive info from the posting, but we can omit boilerplate/legal/EEO etc. The mission statement is maybe substantive? It's about agency mission; could be considered part of About the role? Might be okay to include as a paragraph under About the role. However, the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft:

Maybe also include mission statement? Could add a second paragraph: "The Illinois Commerce Commission pursues an appropriate balance between the interest of consumers and both emerging and existing service providers in accordance with applicable statute and rules..." but that's from mission statement. Might be considered substantive. We'll include.Responsibilities

Schedule

We may also include other metadata like location, contact, vacancy count, etc. Could be placed in aunder About the role or a separate section like "Job Details". But we only have headings for specific categories; we could add a
after About the role for location etc. However instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could add a
within About the role that includes location, contact, vacancies, etc. But that might be mixing. Better to add a section "Job Details" but not in allowed headings list? The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. Probably we should stick to those. So we can embed location etc in About the role paragraph.
Let's craft About the role paragraph to include: Position Overview, Location, Contact, Vacancies, etc.
But we must not lose any substantive info. So include:
- Agency: Illinois Commerce Commission (maybe not needed)
- Work Location: 527 E Capitol Ave, Springfield, Illinois, 62701
- Agency Contact: Valerie Tate Phone #: 217-606-9734
- Number of Vacancies: 2
- Work Hours: 8:30 am-5:00 pm Monday-Friday (but that's schedule; we already have schedule section; we could still mention but maybe duplicate. Better to keep schedule separate and not duplicate. So we can omit work hours from About the role.
- Opening Date: September 15, 2026
- Closing Date/Time: October 16, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.
- Job Requisition ID: 58755
- Category: Full Time
- County: Sangamon County
- Bargaining Unit Code: RC-10, Paygrade 20, Non-Code
We can include those in About the role paragraph.
Let's draft:

That covers many details. Now Responsibilities as above. Requirements as above. Preferred Qualifications as above. Benefits as above. Pay as above. Schedule as above. We should not include Qualifications heading separate from Requirements? The list includes Qualifications as a possible heading.
