(remove) We need to remove boilerplate: Inclusive Excellence Statement, EEO Statement, application instructions, job close date, special instructions, etc. Also remove navigation/cookie/legal etc. So we keep substantive content: About UofSC (maybe as "About the role"? Actually "About the role" heading is for description of role? The instructions: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings. We have: - About the role: Could be the "Advertised Job Summary" describing responsibilities? Actually "About the role" maybe a brief overview. We have "Advertised Job Summary Academic Advisor ..." which describes responsibilities. Could treat as About the role. - Responsibilities: The bullet list of duties: advising declared, undeclared, prospective students; promoting good advisement practices; assisting with academic support; assessing needs; guiding design/implementation of academic plan; serving NSE majors; coordinating comprehensive programs and initiatives that promote student success, including academic support, professionalism and protocol training, and career development. - Requirements: Minimum And Additional Requirements: background check required; knowledge of student success initiatives, academic support, first year student programming, or counseling in high school or higher education required; excellent organizational, management, office skills; demonstrated skills in high-traffic high-demand environment; ability to meet deadlines; IT proficiency in database/spreadsheet and MS Office; standard office hours 8:30-5 but some evening/weekend/conference travel. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications: Master's degree with min 1 year experience in higher ed academic advising, academic support services, first-year experience programming, career counseling or related field; preferred exceptional leadership skills; excellent computer skills, written, oral communication; experience in student success initiatives, academic support, first year student programming, or counseling in high school or higher education required (duplicate); previous work experience with undergraduates in higher ed strongly preferred. - Skills: Could be extracted from requirements: organizational, management, office skills; IT proficiency; communication skills; leadership; etc. But we might combine with Qualifications. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits. Possibly Skills could be merged into Requirements or Qualifications. Pay: Not provided (only advertised salary range: Part/Full Time: Full Time but no actual salary). So we should NOT create Pay section because no specific salary. Schedule: We have office hours and mention evening/weekend/conference travel. That's schedule info. So we can create a Schedule section with that. Benefits: List of benefits from Additional Comments: Health and Life Insurance, Retirement Programs, Paid Tuition Program, Dependent Scholarships, Employee Assistance Program (EAP), Annual Leave, Sick Leave, 13 Paid Holidays (including an extended December holiday), Paid Parental Leave, Professional Development Opportunities. We must not include application instructions, EEO, etc. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:

Schedule

We must ensure we didn't include any filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Check that we didn't repeat job title. Good. Check that we didn't include Pay section (none). Good. Check that we didn't include navigation etc. All substantive info preserved: About UofSC description? Actually we omitted the longer description about UofSC system. That is substantive? It's about the institution, not the role. The instructions: "About the role" heading is for role description. The longer description about UofSC system might be considered "About the role" or maybe "About the institution". The instructions didn't list an "About the institution" heading, but we could include it under About the role? However the "About UofSC" paragraph is about the university system, not the role. It's substantive but maybe we should include it as part of About the role? The instructions: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use About the role for any general description about the role or the organization? Probably we should include the UofSC description under About the role as it's about the employer. But we already have a paragraph about role responsibilities. We could combine both: first paragraph about UofSC system, then paragraph about role. However we must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to preserve that UofSC description. Let's include it as a paragraph under About the role before the responsibilities description. Thus About the role section will have two paragraphs: first about UofSC system, second about the role summary. Let's extract UofSC description: "From the Upstate to the Lowcountry, the University of South Carolina system is transforming the lives of South Carolinians through the impact of our eight institutions and 20 locations throughout the state. More than 50,000 students are enrolled at one of eight institutions, including the research campus in Columbia and comprehensive four-year universities in Aiken, Upstate and Beaufort. In addition, our Palmetto College campuses in Salkehatchie, Union, Lancaster and Sumter enable students to earn associate or bachelor's degrees through a combination of in-person, online or blended learning. All of our system institutions place strong emphasis on service — helping to build healthier, more educated communities in South Carolina and beyond." We'll keep that as a paragraph. Now About the role paragraph: the Advertised Job Summary. Thus About the role will have two

elements. Now check for duplication: The responsibilities list we made includes some items that are also in the About the role paragraph (like advising, assessing needs, coordinating programs). That's okay; we keep both as they are distinct sections. Now check Requirements: we included background check, knowledge, organizational skills, high-traffic environment, IT proficiency.
