We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real content. We need to extract content from posting. We have: - Position Information: Hiring Department, Reports To, Job Location, Posting End Date, Hours, FLSA status, Earliest Start Date, Salary. - Position Summary: description. - Statement Of Duties And Responsibilities: includes Customer Service and Accountant sections. - Knowledge of all Microsoft Office software and able to learn and use institutional software systems. Complies with all State and University policies. Other duties may be assigned. - Supervisory Responsibilities: No supervisory responsibilities. - Qualifications: Required Qualifications (Education and Experience). Preferred Qualifications. - Why Pick UTEP: description of university. - What UTEP Offers Miner Perks and Benefits: list of benefits. - Additional Information: includes security-sensitive, driver's license, physical demands, EEO, etc. Many of these are boilerplate; we should remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove "Additional Information" if it's mostly boilerplate. However we need to preserve substantive info: maybe the security-sensitive note, driver's license requirement, physical demands? Those might be considered boilerplate but they are specific to the job. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The Additional Information includes security-sensitive note, driver's license, physical demands, EEO statement. The EEO statement is boilerplate; we should remove it. The security-sensitive note might be considered legal? It's about Texas Education Code. Might be considered boilerplate but it's specific. However we can keep if it's substantive. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove EEO statements. The security-sensitive note might be considered legal but it's about requirement; not sure. Safer to keep it? It's not exactly EEO; it's about security-sensitive position. Might be considered legal but it's a requirement. I'd keep it as part of Qualifications or Additional Info. We also need to include Pay and Schedule sections only if posting actually states them. We have Salary: $52,000 Annually. Hours: 40 hours per week, standard Monday-Friday 8:00am-5:00pm. So we can include Pay and Schedule sections. Benefits: we have "What UTEP Offers Miner Perks and Benefits" with list. So we can include Benefits section. Skills: we have knowledge of Microsoft Office, ability to learn institutional software, maybe also Advanced experience in Microsoft Excel/Access (preferred). Also bilingual (English, Spanish) preferred. So we can include Skills section. Qualifications: we have Required Qualifications (Education and Experience) and Preferred Qualifications. Responsibilities: we have Statement Of Duties And Responsibilities with Customer Service and Accountant duties. About the role: we have Position Summary. We should not repeat job title as heading. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll structure:

About the role

Position Summary ...

Responsibilities

  • ... each duty ...
We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to list duties as separate
  • items, preserving the text. We have many duties; we can break them into items. Let's extract duties: From Customer Service: - Assist students, faculty, staff and constituents by responding to incoming calls, emails and QLess. - Audit student accounts, as needed, to ensure accuracy of charges/payments. - Assist with reviewing tuition and fee assessments, tuition loans and payment plans to ensure accuracy. - Other duties as assigned. From Accountant: - Reconcile and prepare journal entry for tuition exemption cost allocation by utilizing Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access. - Create, maintain and update third party sponsor modules to accurately apply accounts receivable to student accounts based on third party memorandum of understanding. - Determine proper handling of third party financial transactions such as bank wire transfers/ACH. - Compile, verify, prepare and analyze monthly reconciliation reports to ensure that business transactions such as funds received/disbursed are accurately accounted for in spreadsheets and databases. - Review, research and prepare narrative reports that explain findings and recommendations of inconsistencies in financial entries documents and reports. - Allocate expenditures, encumbrances, receipts and receivables etc. based on reports and schedules. - Monitor compliance with generally accepted accounting principles and University policy and procedures. - Assist with various special projects, as needed. - Prepare purchase orders and vouchers; as needed. - Other duties as assigned. Also there is "Knowledge of all Microsoft Office software and able to learn and use institutional software systems. Complies with all State and University policies. Other duties may be assigned." This could be part of Skills or Responsibilities; but we already have Skills section. We'll treat as Skills. Also "Supervisory Responsibilities: No supervisory responsibilities." Could be a note but not needed as heading; we could include in Responsibilities as a note? Might be considered boilerplate but it's specific. We could include as a

    under Responsibilities? But maybe better to omit as it's not a duty. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; "No supervisory responsibilities" is substantive. We could include as a

    under Responsibilities or a separate section? There's no heading for supervisory. Could add a

    after responsibilities list. Qualifications: Required Qualifications: - Education: Bachelor’s degree in accounting, Business Administration with a concentration in Finance, or a related discipline. - Experience: Two years of relevant experience; equivalent combination of education and experience may be considered. Preferred Qualifications: - Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting. - Advanced experience in Microsoft Excel/Access - Bilingual (English, Spanish). - 3+ years of prior Accounting experience. We could combine into Qualifications section with subheadings? But we only allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put Required and Preferred under Qualifications. We need to use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Qualifications we can list required and preferred as items, maybe with note. Skills: we have knowledge of Microsoft Office, ability to learn institutional software, maybe also Advanced experience in Microsoft Excel/Access (though that's also preferred). We'll list skills. Benefits: list from "What UTEP Offers Miner Perks and Benefits": Benefit Package includes: Medical, Prescription, Life Insurance and Wellness platform; Voluntary Benefits: Dental, Vision, Additional life insurance, UT Flex, Short and Long - term disability plans; Retirement Programs; Longevity Pay; Paid Vacation & Sick Leave; Paid Holidays; Employee Discounts & Perks; Employee Education Assistance program; And much more! Also note: "Visit our Benefits Summary Page for more information on our additional benefits." and disclaimer about eligibility may vary. We should preserve all substantive info; we can list each benefit as
    • . Pay: Salary: $52,000 Annually. Schedule: Hours: 40 hours per week, standard Monday-Friday 8:00am-5:00pm. Also FLSA status: Exempt. Earliest Start Date: As soon as possible. Could include in Schedule? The instruction: include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. We have hours; we can also include FLSA status and earliest start date maybe as part of Schedule or as separate? There's no heading for start date. Could include in Schedule as note. We also have Job Location: El Paso, Texas (Hybrid). Could be part of About the role? Might be included there. We also have Hiring Department, Reports To, Posting End Date. Those are metadata; we could fold into a short

      under About the role or maybe drop? The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

      or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with that metadata. Thus About the role section can include Position Summary plus metadata paragraph. Let's craft. We'll output:

      About the role

      Position Summary: Reconcile general ledger accounts with various software, extract general ledger information, compile monthly reconciliation reports by applying principles of accounting to analyze financial information. Provide customer service to students, staff, faculty, employees and other constituents regarding tuition, billing, financial holds, and refunds.

      Hiring Department: Student Business Services. Reports To: Assistant Director of Student Business Services. Job Location: El Paso, Texas (Hybrid). Posting End Date: Open until filled. Hours: 40 hours per week, standard Monday‑Friday 8:00am‑5:00pm. FLSA status: Exempt. Earliest Start Date: As soon as possible. Salary: $52,000 annually.

      But we have separate Pay and Schedule sections; we might not duplicate salary and hours there. Better to keep About the role with summary and maybe location, department, reports to. Then Pay and Schedule sections separate. Thus About the role: include Position Summary and maybe hiring department, reports to, location. Let's do:

      Hiring Department: Student Business Services. Reports To: Assistant Director of Student Business Services. Job Location: El Paso, Texas (Hybrid).

      Then Responsibilities section with list. Qualifications section with required and preferred. Skills section. Benefits section. Pay section. Schedule section. We must not repeat job title as heading. Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, disclaimer, etc. We'll omit Additional Information except maybe the security-sensitive note? That is legal; maybe we drop it as it's boilerplate. The instruction says remove legal boilerplate. The security-sensitive note is about Texas Education Code; could be considered legal. Safer to drop. Thus we will not include Additional Information. Now craft HTML. We need to ensure proper nesting:

      then

      or

      . Let's write. Responsibilities list: we need to include each duty as separate
    • . We'll combine similar? Keep as separate.
