Transportation Generalist/Transportation Associate – Two Harbors Truck Station
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no h3 with "Transportation Generalist/Transportation Associate". Use headings as per list.
We must not put Job ID etc as headings; we can include them in a short p maybe but better to drop as minor metadata. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we could include a short p with location, telework, etc? But they said fold minor metadata into a short p or drop it. Probably we can drop them entirely to keep concise. But we must preserve ALL substantive information. Is location substantive? Yes location: Two Harbors. Telework eligible: No. Full/Part Time: Full-Time. Regular/Temporary: Unlimited. Who may apply: Open only to all qualified job seekers. Date posted, closing date maybe not substantive? Could be considered metadata but maybe still needed. However they said fold minor metadata into a short p or drop it. So we could include a short p with location, schedule type, etc. But we already have Schedule section for hours. Location maybe separate? Could be part of About the role? Might be okay to drop location? But location is substantive. I'd include a short p at top:
Location: Two Harbors, MN. Full‑time, year‑round position. No telework.
That captures location and full/part time.
We must not repeat job title. So we can start with that p.
Then sections.
Let's extract content.
About the role: The paragraph starting "The work you'll do is more than just a job." Also includes statements about State of Minnesota commitment, etc. Also includes "This posting is a multi-level posting for penings in the District 1 Two Harbors Truck Station. If this position is not filled by qualified applicants at the Transportation Generalist level, the positions will be filled at the Transportation Associate level." Also description of series and training. We'll combine into prose.
Responsibilities: The list of duties under summer and winter. We'll create a with items. Could separate summer and winter but still list.
Minimum Qualifications: Need to include both TG and TA qualifications. Could present as two sublists? But we can just list as prose with bullet points? The instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should put requirements in a list.
Preferred Qualifications: "Previous MnDOT experience working as a Laborer, Transportation Associate or Transportation Generalist". Also Physical Requirements maybe could be under Requirements? But physical requirements are separate; could be part of Requirements or a separate section? Could be under Requirements as list.
Benefits: list of benefits.
Pay: salary ranges for both TG and TA.
Schedule: hours of work description.
We must not create sections with filler. All have content.
Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like "The Minnesota Department of Transportation does not sponsor applicants for work visas..." That's legal/EEO? It's about work visa sponsorship; maybe considered boilerplate? It's substantive? It's a restriction. Might be considered legal. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. That line about not sponsoring visas is likely legal. Also "Individuals must be legally authorized to work in the US at the start of employment." That's also legal. So we should remove those.
Also remove "Designated in Connect 700 Program for Applicants with Disabilities: Yes" maybe keep? It's a program; could be considered metadata but maybe keep as part of About the role? Might be considered EEO? It's about disability program; could be considered EEO. Safer to drop.
Also remove "How To Apply", "Contact", etc.
Also remove "Working together to improve the state we love. What do Minnesota's State employees have in common? ..." That's fluff; maybe drop.
Also remove "Benefits As an employee, you'll have access to one of the most affordable health insurance plans in Minnesota, along with other benefits to help you and your family be well." That's intro to benefits; we can keep the list but maybe drop the intro sentence if it's fluff. But we need to preserve substantive info; the list is substantive. We can keep the list and maybe a short intro p.
Now craft HTML.
Start with a p for location and full-time.
Then h3 About the role: p with prose.
Then h3 Responsibilities: ul with li items (summer and winter tasks). We'll combine.
Then h3 Minimum Qualifications: ul with li for TG and TA maybe separate.
Then h3 Preferred Qualifications: ul with li.
Then h3 Benefits: ul with li.
Then h3 Pay: p with salary ranges.
Then h3 Schedule: p with hours description.
Make sure no extra whitespace? It's fine.
Now extract exact text.
