We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (EEO, etc). Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". So we need to parse the posting. Let's extract content: - Location: Horizon High School - FTE: 1.0 - Interim Position Start Date: Immediately - 5/27/2027 - Purpose Statement: The job of Counselor - High School is done for the purpose/s of providing support to the instructional process with specific responsibility for implementing the ASCA National Standards for Students with assigned pupils; managing the schedules and placement of assigned students; providing course curriculum, information and recommendations to students and parents; and assisting in the development of goals and plans for achievement. This job reports to Site Administrator - Essential Functions: list of many bullet-like sentences. - Other Functions: Performs other related duties as assigned... - Job Requirements: Minimum Qualifications Skills, Knowledge And Abilities Then subparts: SKILLS..., KNOWLEDGE..., ABILITY..., etc. - Responsibility: Responsibilities include: working under limited supervision... - Work Environment: physical demands etc. - Experience: Job related experience is desired. - Education: Masters degree in job-related area. - Equivalency Required Testing Certificates and Licenses: Arizona Department of Education Counseling Certificate Continuing Educ./Training Clearances Criminal Background Clearance Valid Arizona IVP Fingerprint Clearance Card - FLSA Status - Exempt - Then EEO boilerplate to remove. We need to map to sections: About the role (purpose statement maybe), Responsibilities (essential functions + other functions?), Requirements (maybe minimum qualifications?), Qualifications (education, experience, certifications?), Skills (skills list), Benefits (none), Pay (none), Schedule (none). Since no explicit benefits, pay, schedule given, we should not create those sections. We must not create sections with filler. So we include only sections with substantive content. We need to decide which headings to use: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Possibly also "Work Environment" but not in allowed headings list; we must only use those headings. So we need to fit content into allowed headings. The instructions: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should use those exact headings when we have content. We can also possibly use other headings? It says "e.g." but likely we should stick to those. We'll map: - About the role: purpose statement + location, FTE, start date? Could include location and FTE as part of About the role. - Responsibilities: essential functions + other functions. - Requirements: maybe "Minimum Qualifications" (skills, knowledge, abilities) or "Job Requirements". Could be Requirements. - Qualifications: education, experience, certifications, licenses, FLSA status? Might be Qualifications. - Skills: the skills list. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we won't put "Counselor - High School" as heading. We must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep details. So we need to include each bullet point as
  • under appropriate
      . For prose, use

      . We need to avoid boilerplate: EEO, nondiscrimination statement, etc. Remove. Also remove duplicated lines. Let's extract details precisely. First, location line: "Counselor Location: Horizon High School FTE: 1.0 Interim Position Start Date: Immediately - 5/27/2027". We'll include that in About the role maybe as a paragraph. Purpose Statement paragraph: "The job of Counselor - High School is done for the purpose/s of providing support to the instructional process with specific responsibility for implementing the ASCA National Standards for Students with assigned pupils; managing the schedules and placement of assigned students; providing course curriculum, information and recommendations to students and parents; and assisting in the development of goals and plans for achievement. This job reports to Site Administrator" We'll keep that. Essential Functions list: each sentence starts with a verb. We'll make

Job Requirements: Minimum Qualifications Skills, Knowledge And Abilities Then subparts: SKILLS are required to perform multiple, technical tasks with a need to periodically upgrade skills in order to meet changing job conditions. Specific skill based competencies required to satisfactorily perform the functions of the job include: applying assessment instruments; preparing and maintaining accurate records; planning and managing projects; using pertinent software applications. KNOWLEDGE is required to perform algebra and/or geometry; review and interpret highly technical information, write technical materials, and/or speak persuasively to implement desired actions; and analyze situations to define issues and draw conclusions.

Flexibility is required to independently work with others in a wide variety of circumstances; analyze data utilizing a variety of complex processes; and operate equipment using defined methods. Ability is also required to work with a significant diversity of individuals and/or groups; work with a variety of data; and utilize specific, job-related equipment. Independent problem solving is required to analyze issues and create action plans. Problem solving with data requires analysis based on organizational objectives; and problem solving with equipment is limited.

Education: "Masters degree in job-related area." Equivalency Required Testing Certificates and Licenses: list: - Arizona Department of Education Counseling Certificate - Continuing Educ./Training Clearances - Criminal Background Clearance - Valid Arizona IVP Fingerprint Clearance Card FLSA Status - Exempt We need to decide where to put each. We have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could map: - About the role: location, FTE, start date, purpose statement. - Responsibilities: essential functions + other functions + Responsibility paragraph? Actually Responsibility paragraph is about responsibilities; but we already have Responsibilities heading. Could combine essential functions, other functions, and the Responsibility paragraph under Responsibilities. - Requirements: maybe the "Minimum Qualifications Skills, Knowledge And Abilities" (skills, knowledge, ability) could go under Requirements or Skills? But we also have a Skills heading separate. The instructions say we can use Skills heading for skill list. So we should put the skill-based competencies under Skills heading. Knowledge and Ability maybe under Requirements or Qualifications? Let's think. The posting separates SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE, ABILITY. The Skills heading likely for SKILLS. Knowledge and Ability could go under Requirements or Qualifications. Since we have Requirements and Qualifications headings, we can put Knowledge under Requirements, Ability under Qualifications? Or combine Knowledge and Ability under Requirements? But we need to preserve all detail. Better: Use Requirements for the "Minimum Qualifications" block (including skills, knowledge, ability). Then use Skills heading for the specific skill list? That would duplicate. Hmm. Alternative: Use Requirements for the minimum qualifications (education, experience, certifications). Use Qualifications for the knowledge, ability, etc. Use Skills for the skill list. But we need to follow typical job posting: Requirements often include education, experience, certifications. Qualifications sometimes similar. However we have to decide. Let's map: - About the role: location, FTE, start date, purpose statement. - Responsibilities: essential functions + other functions. - Requirements: Education, Experience, Certificates/Licenses, FL
