Water Sampler (ES 1) DOH9025
for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
2. Use - for lists of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose
3. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading
4. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings
5. Preserve ALL substantive information
6. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions)
7. Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it
8. Never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text
9. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them
10. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences
Let me analyze the job posting content:
- Job title: "Water Sampler - Environmental Specialist 1 (ES 1) Environmental Public Health - Childhood Lead Exposure Prevention Program (CLPPP)" - I should NOT include this as a heading
- The posting has several sections:
1. Description/About the role (first paragraph about home-based, part-time, travel, hours)
2. "The Opportunity" - describes the role, reporting structure, purpose
3. "Key Responsibilities Include" - three subsections: Drinking Water Sampling & Field Work, Data Collection & Program Support, Collaboration & Public Health Support
4. "Why You'll Love This Role" - benefits/culture
5. "Required Qualifications" - two options with additional required knowledge/skills
6. "Preferred Qualifications" - list of preferred qualifications
7. "Employee Benefits" - mentions comprehensive benefits package, links to Work@Health
8. "About The Washington State Department Of Health" - organizational description
9. "Working Conditions" - detailed subsections: Work Setting, Schedule, Travel Requirements, Tools & Equipment, Customer Interactions, Other
10. "We Encourage You to Apply" - encouragement
11. "Application Directions Required" - application instructions (should be removed per rules)
12. Veterans Preference, Equity Diversity Inclusion - boilerplate (should be removed)
I need to structure this into appropriate sections with h3 headings. Let me map:
- About the role: The initial description + "The Opportunity" section
- Responsibilities: "Key Responsibilities Include" with its three subsections
- Qualifications: "Required Qualifications" (both options) + "Additional Required Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, And Experience"
- Preferred Qualifications: "Preferred Qualifications" list
- Benefits: "Employee Benefits" (has real content)
- Schedule: "Working Conditions" -> "Schedule" subsection has specific details
- Working Conditions: Could be a section with subsections for Work Setting, Travel Requirements, Tools & Equipment, Customer Interactions, Other
But the rules say: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". So I should use these standard headings where appropriate.
I'll create:
1. About the role
- combining the initial description and "The Opportunity"
2. Responsibilities
- the three key responsibility areas
3. Qualifications
- required qualifications (both options) and additional required knowledge/skills
4. Preferred Qualifications
- the preferred qualifications list
5. Benefits
- employee benefits
6. Schedule
- from Working Conditions > Schedule
7. Working Conditions
- Work Setting, Travel Requirements, Tools & Equipment, Customer Interactions, Other
I should not include Pay section as there's no pay information. The posting mentions "part-time, permanent position" but no salary range.
I need to remove:
- Application Directions Required (application instructions)
- Veterans Preference (boilerplate)
- Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (boilerplate)
- "We Encourage You to Apply" (fluff)
- "About The Washington State Department Of Health" (organizational boilerplate, though it has some substance - but it's generic org description, not specific to the role)
The rules say: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The "About The Washington State Department Of Health" is organizational boilerplate, not specific to the role. I'll omit it.
Now, let me write the HTML. I'll use
for prose,
- for lists. For nested lists (like responsibilities with subsections), I can use nested
or just separate for each subsection with headings. Since the rules say use for section headings, I could use for subsections? But the rules only mention for section headings. I think I should keep it flat: each major section gets , and within Responsibilities, I can have the three areas as separate lists with bold labels or just combined list items. Better to keep semantic: use for main sections, and within Responsibilities, I can have for subsections? The rules don't forbid , but they say "use for section headings". I'll use for main sections only, and for subsections within Responsibilities, I'll use labels in list items or separate with a leading ...
. But the example in the rules shows "Responsibilities" as a section heading. I'll make each responsibility area a separate list with a descriptive label.
Let me structure:
