TPWD - Natural Resources Specialist I - II- III (W
or drop it). The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include hiring contact and physical address in a paragraph under About the role maybe. - Responsibilities: from GENERAL DESCRIPTION: list of duties: performing professional planning and implementation of natural resource management, monitoring, research duties; provides technical assistance and public outreach; develops comprehensive wildlife management plans; disseminates information; prepares technical reports, popular articles, professional journal publications; responsible for public relations and educational/extension efforts; identifies public hunting and non-consumptive use opportunities; performs additional duties as assigned; complies with rules. - Requirements: could include licensure requirements (driver's license, NWCG FFT II certification), physical requirements (pass fitness test, ability to conduct low-level aerial surveys, weight restrictions), maybe also education/experience minimums. - Qualifications: could include minimum qualifications (education, experience, licensure) and acceptable substitutions, preferred qualifications. - Skills: knowledge, skills and abilities section. - Benefits: not mentioned explicitly; maybe none. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. There's no mention of benefits. So omit. - Pay: there is a note: "NOTE: Natural Resources Specialist (NRS) I salary will be commensurate with experience and/or completion of an advanced degree. Current TPWD NRS I-III employees may apply for this position at their current classification title and at the established Wildlife Division salary rate. Career Ladder progression is available dependent upon business need." That's about pay but it's vague: "commensurate with experience". The instruction says: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". So we should not create a Pay section if the content is just "commensurate with experience". However there is also mention of "established Wildlife Division salary rate" and "Career Ladder progression". That's still vague. Probably better to omit Pay section because no specific numbers. - Schedule: not mentioned. Omit. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to be careful to not lose details like specific counties, address, contact, etc.
Let's extract details.
