or drop it. We need to preserve all substantive information; but we can drop minor metadata like Employment Status, FLSA, Reports to, Supervisory Responsibility, Primary Work Location? 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 some of that info, but not as headings. - Job Summary: "The Veterinary Technician performs a variety of technical animal medical duties in support of veterinary operations and assists Zoo veterinarians in maintaining the health of the animal collection." That's also about role. - Minimum Qualifications: Experience Required: Experience equivalent to one year of full-time clinical work with zoo or exotic species, or an equivalent combination of education and experience sufficient to successfully perform the essential duties of the job. - Minimum Education Requirements: Associate degree in Veterinary Technology. - Certification: Oklahoma Registered Veterinary Technician license, Valid Oklahoma driver’s license within thirty days of hire and successful completion of a driver history check, Completion of required Learning Management System training within the first six months of employment - Knowledge of: list (Veterinary nursing principles and practices, Animal handling and restraint techniques for medical procedures, State and federal statutes, regulations, and guidelines for pharmaceutical recordkeeping, Computer software applications, including word processing, database, and spreadsheet programs, Oklahoma City Zoo programs, activities, exhibits, and events, Policies and procedures of the Oklahoma City Zoo and assigned department and area) - Skills in: list (Veterinary technical procedures, including anesthesia, radiology, euthanasia, dentistry, surgical assisting, clinical pathology, and parasitology, Preparing records, reports, and correspondence using appropriate formats and computer software, Triage techniques for veterinary medical emergencies, Interpersonal communication, Organization and time management) - Ability to: list (Establish and maintain effective working relationships with Zoo management, animal management staff, veterinarians, and external professionals, Practice safe work methods, identify workplace hazards, and use appropriate safety equipment, Handle multiple tasks simultaneously, Work a flexible schedule, including on-call shifts, evenings, weekends, holidays, and emergency situations, Report to work or continue working during emergencies or operational disruptions, Drive within Oklahoma throughout the year) - Physical Demands: list (Walk, sit, and stand for extended periods, Independently push, lift, and carry up to 50 pounds and assist with lifting more than 50 pounds, Bend, stoop, kneel, and move intermittently throughout the day, Work around fumes, odors, dust, moving mechanical parts, and vehicles, Work in extreme weather conditions, including heat, cold, rain, snow, and ice, Work around potentially dangerous animals and zoonotic diseases) - Other: safety-sensitive position, background checks, drug testing, annual tuberculosis testing required, rabies vaccination and periodic protective titer testing required. We need to decide sections: About the role (intro + job summary). Responsibilities: maybe from "The Veterinary Technician performs a variety of technical animal medical duties..." but that's more summary. Could list duties: anesthesia, diagnostic imaging, laboratory testing, emergency response, etc. The posting mentions "From anesthesia and diagnostic imaging to laboratory testing and emergency response". Also skills list includes many technical procedures. Could treat those as responsibilities. Requirements: maybe minimum qualifications (experience, education, certification). Qualifications: maybe knowledge and skills? But we have both Qualifications and Skills sections. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which content goes where. We have: - About the role: intro + job summary. - Responsibilities: list of duties (technical animal medical duties, anesthesia, diagnostic imaging, laboratory testing, emergency response, preparing records, triage, etc.) - Requirements: maybe experience, education, certification, driver license, LMS training, background checks, TB test, rabies vaccination. - Qualifications: maybe knowledge of veterinary nursing principles, animal handling, statutes, software, zoo policies. - Skills: list of skills (vet technical procedures, preparing records, triage, interpersonal communication, organization/time management). - Ability to: could be part of Skills or Responsibilities? Might be considered "Ability to" as part of Skills or Qualifications. Could incorporate into Skills. - Physical Demands: maybe not a section; could be part of Responsibilities? But we have no heading for Physical Demands; we could include under Responsibilities or maybe under a separate section like "Working Conditions". Not in allowed headings. Could fold into Responsibilities as a bullet. - Pay: we have Starting Pay Range: $21.20 to $24.38 hourly. So we need a Pay section with that. - Benefits: not mentioned explicitly. No benefits info. So we should NOT create Benefits section. - Schedule: mention "Work a flexible schedule, including on-call shifts, evenings, weekends, holidays, and emergency situations". Also "Drive within Oklahoma throughout the year". So we can have Schedule section with that. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So only include sections where we have real content. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Schedule. We need to output HTML fragment only, using
for section headings, - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading.
We need to drop minor metadata into a short
or drop it. We could include a short paragraph after About the role containing employment status, department, reports to, location. But we could also 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 a short paragraph with those details.

About the role
Bring your veterinary skills to the wild side! The Oklahoma City Zoo is seeking a Registered Veterinary Technician to help provide exceptional medical care for our diverse animal collection. From anesthesia and diagnostic imaging to laboratory testing and emergency response, you will work alongside our veterinary and animal care teams to protect the health and well-being of wildlife while supporting the Zoo’s mission of conservation. The Veterinary Technician performs a variety of technical animal medical duties in support of veterinary operations and assists Zoo veterinarians in maintaining the health of the animal collection.
Employment Status: Full-Time • FLSA Status: Non-Exempt • Department: Veterinary Services • Reports to: Veterinary Clinic Coordinator • Primary Work Location: Zoo setting, both indoors and outdoors.
That's a short paragraph for metadata.
Now Responsibilities: list of duties. We can extract duties: performing technical animal medical duties, anesthesia, diagnostic imaging, laboratory testing, emergency response, preparing records, reports, correspondence, triage techniques for veterinary medical emergencies, etc. Also maybe "assist Zoo veterinarians". But we should not duplicate.
Let's create with items:
- Perform technical animal medical duties including anesthesia, diagnostic imaging, laboratory testing, and emergency response.
- Prepare records, reports, and correspondence using appropriate formats and computer software.
- Apply triage techniques for veterinary medical emergencies.
- Assist veterinary staff with animal handling and restraint for medical procedures.
- Maintain pharmaceutical records in compliance with state and federal statutes.
- Utilize veterinary technical procedures such as radiology, euthanasia, dentistry, surgical assisting, clinical pathology, and parasitology.
- Practice safe work methods, identify workplace hazards, and use appropriate safety equipment.
- Handle multiple tasks simultaneously.
- Work a flexible schedule, including on-call shifts, evenings, weekends, holidays, and emergency situations. (maybe schedule)
- Report to work or continue working during emergencies or operational disruptions.
- Drive within Oklahoma throughout the year.
- Walk, sit, and stand for extended periods; independently push, lift, and carry up to 50 pounds and assist with lifting more than 50 pounds; bend, stoop, kneel, and move intermittently.
- Work around fumes, odors, dust, moving mechanical parts, and vehicles; work in extreme weather conditions; work around potentially dangerous animals and zoonotic diseases.
But some of these are more like physical demands or schedule. Might be better to separate schedule and physical demands into their own sections if we have content. However schedule is allowed; we have schedule info. Physical demands not a allowed heading; we could fold into Responsibilities or maybe into a separate section like "Working Conditions" but not allowed. So we can include them in Responsibilities.
But we also have a separate Schedule section; we should not duplicate schedule items in Responsibilities if we move them to Schedule. Let's decide: Schedule section will contain schedule specifics: flexible schedule, on-call shifts, evenings, weekends, holidays, emergency situations, drive within Oklahoma throughout the year. So we can move those to Schedule.
Physical demands: we could include under Responsibilities or maybe under a separate section like "Physical Demands" but not allowed. So we can include under Responsibilities.
Now Requirements: experience, education, certification, driver license, LMS training, background checks, TB test, rabies vaccination.
We need to list as .
Qualifications: knowledge items: veterinary nursing principles and practices, animal handling and restraint techniques for medical procedures, state and federal statutes, regulations, and guidelines for pharmaceutical recordkeeping, computer software applications (word processing, database, spreadsheet), Oklahoma City Zoo programs, activities, exhibits, and events, policies and procedures of the Oklahoma City Zoo and assigned department and area.
Skills: list: veterinary technical procedures (anesthesia, radiology, euthanasia, dentistry, surgical assisting, clinical pathology, parasitology), preparing records, reports, and correspondence using appropriate formats and computer software, triage techniques for veterinary medical emergencies, interpersonal communication, organization and time management.
We must ensure we don't duplicate content across sections. For example, preparing records appears both in Skills and Responsibilities; we need to decide where to place. Probably better to put preparing records under Skills (as a skill) and not duplicate in Responsibilities. Responsibilities can focus on duties like performing procedures, emergency response, etc.

Now check for any boilerplate: we removed EEO etc.
Now output only HTML fragment.
Let's construct.
We'll start with About the role.
We need to ensure we don't have empty sections.
