Academic Advisor I
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- About Texas A&M AgriLife (description) -> could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is generic; but we have "About Texas A&M AgriLife". Could use "About the role" heading and put that description under it. Or we could use "About Texas A&M AgriLife" as heading? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not strict list; we can use those headings. So we should use those exact headings when applicable. So we need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule (if present). We need to map content.
- About the role: include description of Texas A&M AgriLife and position information (the role). Could combine.
- Responsibilities: the bullet list with percentages.
- Requirements: maybe Required Education and Experience.
- Qualifications: maybe Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities? But they also have Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities. Could split: Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities under Qualifications? Or Skills section for abilities? The instruction says we can have Skills section. We'll decide.
We have:
- Required Education and Experience: Bachelor’s Degree. No Required Experience.
- Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: list of novice and advanced beginner skills.
- Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: knowledge of student development, ability to lead students.
- Benefits: Why Work at Texas A&M AgriLife? list of benefits.
- Pay: Proposed Minimum Salary $3,750.00 monthly.
- Schedule: not present, so omit.
We also have Training section (Up to 20% training). Could be part of Responsibilities? Or maybe a separate section like "Training". Not in the list of headings but we could add if needed. Instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could incorporate training into Responsibilities (since it's a duty). It says "20% Training Up to 20% training per year...". That's a responsibility/training requirement. Could include under Responsibilities as a bullet.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay.
We need to map:
- About the role: description of Texas A&M AgriLife and position overview (Position Information). We'll combine.
- Responsibilities: the percentages and duties.
- Requirements: Required Education and Experience.
- Qualifications: Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (maybe also Preferred? Could be under Qualifications as "Preferred" but we could also put under Skills. Let's treat Qualifications as both required and preferred? Might be confusing. Better: Qualifications for required, Skills for preferred? But the instruction says we can use Skills section for skills. Let's do:
- Qualifications: Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (novice/advanced beginner).
- Skills: Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (student development, lead students).
- Benefits: Why Work at Texas A&M AgriLife? list.
- Pay: salary.
We must not include placeholders like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, we need
- . For each bullet we can keep the percentage prefix? Might keep as part of li text.
For Required Education and Experience: it's not a list but we can put in
.
For Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: it's a list of skills with proficiency levels. We'll make
- .
For Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: also
- .
For Benefits: list of benefits: health/dental/vision etc, holidays, sick leave, vacation, retirement, wellness initiative. We'll make
- .
For Pay: just
.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no
for Academic Advisor I.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, Veteran, Disability, etc. Also remove "Applicant Instructions", "Required Documents", "All positions are security-sensitive", "Equal Opportunity/Veterans/Disability Employer." Also remove "Click here to learn more..." maybe.
We must preserve all substantive information. So keep the description of Texas A&M AgriLife, position information, responsibilities percentages, training, required education/experience, required knowledge/skills/abilities, preferred knowledge/skills/abilities, benefits, pay.
Now craft HTML.
Start with About the role
then
... combined description.
We need to include the description of Texas A&M AgriLife (first paragraph) and Position Information (the paragraph about seeking Academic Advisor I). We'll combine.
Let's extract:
