We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc as headings; can fold minor metadata into short

or drop it. Must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "How To Apply", contact info? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should drop "How To Apply", contact lines, etc. Also remove EEO boilerplate at end. Keep substantive content: description of work, responsibilities, minimum qualifications, preferred qualifications, physical requirements, additional requirements (background check, drug test), benefits, pay, schedule (work shift/hours). Also maybe location, telework eligible, full/part time, regular/temporary, who may apply, date posted, closing date? Those are minor metadata; we can fold into a short

or drop. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with location, telework, full-time, etc. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; does that include location, telework, full/part time, regular/temporary, who may apply, date posted, closing date? Those are substantive but maybe considered metadata. The instruction says fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Likely we can include a short paragraph with those details. However we must not create sections like "About the role" unless there is real specific content. We have a paragraph: "The work you'll do is more than just a job. At the State of Minnesota, employees play a critical role..." That's about the role. So we can have

About the role

with that paragraph. Responsibilities: The bullet list of duties under "Road and Surface/Roadside Maintenance", "Snow & Ice". We'll make
  • items. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications section. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which to use. We have Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). Or we could have Requirements for minimum, Qualifications for preferred. Skills maybe not present. We'll include Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). Also Physical Requirements could be under Requirements or maybe a separate section? Could be part of Requirements. But we have a heading for Skills; we may not have specific skills list; we could omit Skills section if no specific content. Benefits: we have benefits list. Pay: we have salary range. Schedule: we have work shift/hours. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay range and schedule. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info from responsibilities, qualifications, physical requirements, additional requirements (background check, drug test), benefits, pay, schedule. We must remove boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, scam-warning, application instructions, contact info, "How To Apply", "Working together to improve the state we love." etc. Also remove "What do Minnesota's State employees have in common?" etc. Also remove "EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYERS" etc. Also remove "Applicants With Disabilities" etc. Also remove "Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) encourages participation..." etc. We must keep the statement about Connect 700 Program? That's about accommodation for disabled applicants; maybe considered EEO? It's part of equal opportunity. Might be considered boilerplate; but it's specific to Connect 700 Program. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should drop that. Also remove "Designated in Connect 700 Program for Applicants with Disabilities: Yes" maybe considered EEO; drop. We need to keep the substantive description of work, responsibilities, qualifications, physical requirements, additional requirements (background check, drug test), benefits, pay, schedule.
