Academic Advisor
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting.
Company Description: includes description of Harvard University, FAS, etc. That's likely "About Us" or "Company Description". Could be a section "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is a heading for role description; but we have "Job Description" and "Job Summary". We can treat "About the role" as maybe "Job Summary". But we need to use headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections we have content for.
We have:
- Job Summary: Reporting to the Associate Director ... advises graduate ALM degree candidates, supporting degree program completion of 500+ students.
- Job-Specific Responsibilities: list of duties (multiple bullet-like sentences). So we can put under Responsibilities.
- Working Conditions: location, hybrid model. That could be Schedule? Actually schedule is about hours per week. Working Conditions includes location and hybrid model. Could be placed under Schedule? But schedule is about hours per week. We have "Standard Hours/Schedule: 35 hours per week". So schedule section can contain that.
- Qualifications: Basic Qualifications: Three years of experience in student services, academic advising, or career counseling. Additional Qualifications and Skills: list (Bachelor’s degree strongly preferred, Master's degree, Three years of experience advising graduate students, Experience with webinar presentation and video capture, Positive attitude..., Excellent written and interpersonal communications skills, Comfort with public speaking and presentations, Fluent in Microsoft Office, Great team player, Familiarity with social media). So we can split into Requirements (maybe basic qualifications) and Qualifications (additional). Or we could combine.
- Skills: maybe the list of skills (communication, public speaking, MS Office, team player, social media). Could be separate Skills section.
- Benefits: described: Harvard offers a comprehensive benefits package... list bullet items. So Benefits section.
- Pay: Compensation Range/Rate: $69K - $75K/annual. So Pay section.
- Schedule: Standard Hours/Schedule: 35 hours per week. Also Working Conditions location/hybrid. Could be Schedule section includes both hours and location/hybrid? But schedule heading is for schedule; location maybe could be under About the role? But we have no explicit "About the role" content besides company description. Could treat company description as About the role? Actually "About the role" is often a brief description of the role; we have Job Summary which is similar. Could use About the role for Job Summary. Or we could skip About the role if we think it's redundant. But we need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have Job Summary content, so we can create About the role section with that summary.
Responsibilities: we have Job-Specific Responsibilities list.
Requirements: Basic Qualifications.
Qualifications: Additional Qualifications and Skills (maybe split into Qualifications and Skills). But we have both Qualifications and Skills headings allowed. Could put degree and experience under Qualifications, and specific skills under Skills.
Benefits: we have.
Pay: we have.
Schedule: we have standard hours and hybrid workplace.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO/Non-Discrimination Commitment Statement, Visa Sponsorship Information, Pre-Employment Screening, Other Information, Work Format Details, Salary Grade and Ranges, etc. Also remove duplicated lines (like the repeated Reporting to... sentence appears twice; we should keep only once? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove duplicated lines. So we need to deduplicate. The duplicated line: "Reporting to the Associate Director of Graduate Degree Candidate Advising & Program Administration at the Harvard University Division of Continuing Education and University Extension, the Academic Advisor advises graduate Master of Liberal Arts (ALM) degree candidates, supporting degree program completion of 500+ students." appears in Job Summary and again in Job-Specific Responsibilities first sentence. We should keep only one instance. Probably keep it under Responsibilities? But we need to keep substantive info; we can keep it once under Responsibilities (maybe as first duty). The Job Summary could be omitted if duplicated? But we need About the role section content; we could use the Job Summary but it's duplicate. However we could rephrase? Not allowed to invent or summarize away detail. But we can keep the summary as is, but we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we keep the summary in About the role, and in Responsibilities we start after that sentence (i.e., we omit the duplicate sentence). Let's check: The Responsibilities list begins with that same sentence then continues with "Advises students on course selection...". If we remove the duplicate sentence, we lose the statement about reporting to Associate Director etc. But that is substantive info; we need to keep it somewhere. We could keep it in About the role (Job Summary) and not repeat in Responsibilities. That would preserve the info once. That seems acceptable: we are not inventing or summarizing away detail; we are just removing duplicate occurrence. So we will keep the reporting line in About the role (or Job Summary). Then Responsibilities will start with "Advises students on course selection that fulfill degree requirements and support candidates' future plans as well as intellectual interests." and continue.
Now we need to format lists.
Let's extract content.
About the role (Job Summary):
"Reporting to the Associate Director of Graduate Degree Candidate Advising & Program Administration at the Harvard University Division of Continuing Education and University Extension, the Academic Advisor advises graduate Master of Liberal Arts (ALM) degree candidates, supporting degree program completion of 500+ students."
That's it.
Responsibilities (list):
- Advises students on course selection that fulfill degree requirements and support candidates' future plans as well as intellectual interests.
- Keeps abreast of hiring trends in order to identify key skills for competitive employment.
- Facilitates adult students' capacity to successfully manage the demands of school with professional/personal responsibilities and helps develop realistic academic plans.
- Maintains accurate degree program records in our student information system.
- Responsible for keeping students informed about special options as well as numerous School-wide/University-wide student services.
- Develops, maintains, and promotes academic services to meet the needs of graduate students.
- Assists in the planning and execution of student events to promote community and career exploration, such as receptions, panel presentation, networking seminars, residency weekends, and Commencement.
- Contributes to Division-wide alumni data gathering goals by keeping track of graduates' career trajectories.
- Performs related duties as required.
We need to ensure each is
- inside
.
Requirements (Basic Qualifications):
- Three years of experience in student services, academic advising, or career counseling
Qualifications (Additional Qualifications):
- Bachelor’s degree strongly preferred
- Master's degree
- Three years of experience advising graduate students
- Experience with webinar presentation and video capture
- Positive attitude about and commitment to outstanding customer service
- Excellent written and interpersonal communications skills
- Comfort with public speaking and presentations
- Fluent in Microsoft Office
- Great team player
- Familiarity with social media
But note "Three years of experience advising graduate students" is similar to basic qualifications but more specific; we keep.
Skills: Could we separate some of these as skills? The list includes many skill-like items. But we already have Qualifications heading; we could also have Skills heading for items like "Excellent written and interpersonal communications skills", "Comfort with public speaking and presentations", "Fluent in Microsoft Office", "Great team player", "Familiarity with social media". However the instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Qualifications and Skills into one section? But we have both headings allowed; we could decide to not create Skills if it would be thin. However we have many skill items; could be substantive. But we already have Qualifications with many items; adding Skills may be redundant. Better to have one Qualifications section that includes both degree/experience and skills. The headings list includes Qualifications and Skills separate; but we can choose to omit Skills if we think it's thin. However we have many skill items; but they are already in Qualifications. To avoid thin sections, we can put all under Qualifications and not create Skills. That's acceptable: we only include sections when posting has real specific content; we have content for Qualifications; we can omit Skills.
Benefits: list:
- Generous paid time off including parental leave
- Medical, dental, and vision health insurance coverage starting on day one
- Retirement plans with university contributions
- Wellbeing and mental health resources
- Support for families and caregivers
- Professional development opportunities including tuition assistance and reimbursement
- Commuter benefits, discounts and campus perks
Pay: "$69K - $75K/annual"
Schedule: "Standard Hours/Schedule: 35 hours per week" plus Working Conditions: "This position will be based in Cambridge, MA. Hybrid workplace models in place at DCE with a minimum of 2 days per week on campus. DCE or department may adjust these as necessary or appropriate."
We could combine schedule and location/hybrid under Schedule section. The schedule heading is for schedule; but we can include location/hybrid as part of schedule? Might be okay. Or we could create a separate section for Working Conditions but not in allowed headings. Since only allowed headings are those list, we should fit location/hybrid into Schedule or maybe About the role? Probably Schedule is appropriate to include hours and hybrid model. We'll put both.
Thus Schedule section content: "Standard Hours/Schedule: 35 hours per week. This position will be based in Cambridge, MA. Hybrid workplace models in place at DCE with a minimum of 2 days per week on campus. DCE or department may adjust these as necessary or appropriate."
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now we need to output HTML fragment: use for each section heading, then content: either
for prose or
- for lists.
We must not include / or markdown fences.
We'll produce something like:
