Explore the Benefits of State Employment on our website. That's benefits content. No explicit Pay or Schedule specifics. So we should not create Pay or Schedule sections because they are not stated. Benefits section we can include. Equal Opportunity Employer boilerplate: remove. Thus sections: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (duties, computer skills, environmental factors), Requirements (maybe combine Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Special Requirements?), Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements? The instruction list includes both Requirements and Qualifications; we need to decide. Could treat Requirements as mandatory (minimum qualifications, special requirements) and Qualifications as preferred qualifications. Or we could combine. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's create: - About the role (overview) - Responsibilities (duties, computer skills, environmental factors) - Requirements (minimum qualifications + special requirements) - Qualifications (preferred qualifications) - Skills (computer skills maybe already in responsibilities; but we could list MS Office, video platforms as skills) - Benefits (total compensation details) We should not create Pay or Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Good. We need to use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
Let's extract details.
About the role prose: "Join a high-performing team of dedicated staff committed to helping people with disabilities become employed and advance in their careers. The Middlebury Office of HireAbility is recruiting for a skilled rehabilitation/career counselor with an ability to support consumers with physical, psychological, or cognitive disabilities in their efforts to access careers and gain employment."

Now we need to ensure we don't include any application instructions, EEO, etc.
We also need to not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. The "Who May Apply" includes Job Requisition numbers; we could drop that entirely as minor metadata. The contact email maybe minor metadata; we could drop or include as short
. The instruction says fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we could include a short
at top: "For more information, contact Hibbard.Doe@vermont.gov." But that's contact info; maybe we keep it.
But we also have "Please Note: This position is being recruited at multiple levels. If you would like to be considered for more than one level, you MUST apply to the specific Job Requisition. Level I: 55655 Level II: 55750". That's minor metadata; we could drop.
