We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, 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 preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions (none). We need to extract content. Let's parse the posting. First paragraph: "Why choose the College of Lake County for your next opportunity? The College of Lake County (CLC) offers a competitive salary, excellent benefits that includes Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois health, Delta Dental and Superior Vision insurance plans, tuition support for employees and qualified family members, three retirement plans, disability, group and supplemental life insurance, health and dependent care flexible spending account plans, a compressed work week in the summer (Closed Fridays!), generous vacation, sick and personal time off and 14 paid holidays each year. Some benefits will not be available for Part-Time or Part Time Staff Under 20 Hours (ex: health insurance)." That's benefits and schedule info (compressed work week). Also mentions competitive salary but not specific amount later. Then "Position Title Acting Academic Success Advisor" - we should not repeat as heading. "Job Summary ..." That's about the role. Then "Job Description" with many responsibilities broken into sections: Student & Customer Service - 85% (with subparts), Project & Process Management - 10%, Other - 5%. We can treat these as responsibilities. Then "Required Qualifications" and "Desired Qualifications". Also "Core Hours" schedule. "Pay: $52,878/year". Also "Full-Time/Part-Time Full time". "Total Hours Per Week 40". "Position Type Staff". "Job Family Specialist". "Posting Date". "Expected Start Date". "Compensation Grade B32". "Location: Grayslake Campus". "Department Academic Success Advisors - B Sub Department". Also EEO statement to remove. We need sections: About the role (maybe Job Summary), Responsibilities (Job Description), Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe Desired Qualifications?), Skills (maybe from qualifications?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not create sections with placeholder or generic like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. Let's decide sections: - About the role: could combine Job Summary and maybe Position Title? But we shouldn't repeat title. Use Job Summary paragraph. - Responsibilities: the Job Description content (the bullet-like paragraphs). We'll need to format as
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities are prose but we can break into list items for each major duty? The instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

      for prose. So if we have a list, we should use ul/li. The responsibilities are not explicitly a list but we can treat each bullet as list item. However we must preserve all substantive information; we can convert paragraphs into list items. Better: Keep responsibilities as prose within

      maybe? But instruction says use ul/li for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid using p for prose duties. But to be safe, we can make a

        with each responsibility as
      • . That would be a list. Similarly for Required Qualifications and Desired Qualifications we can make lists. Benefits: we have a paragraph listing many benefits. Could make ul/li. Pay: we have specific salary $52,878/year. So Pay section with

        . Schedule: we have Core Hours and compressed work week in summer (Closed Fridays!). Also total hours per week 40. So schedule section. We must not include sections like About the role if no content? We have Job Summary. Let's extract Job Summary text: "Job Summary The Academic Success Advisor serves as the primary liaison for an assigned caseload of students enrolled at CLC within a designated Field of Interest (FOI). This position is responsible for providing a personalized, holistic, and culturally responsive advising experience for each student from their first day of classes through credential attainment and career or transfer transition." We'll put that in

        under About the role. Responsibilities: The Job Description includes sections with percentages. We'll capture all responsibilities text. We need to preserve all substantive information; we can break into list items for each major responsibility area: Student & Customer Service (85%) with its subparts; Project & Process Management (10%); Other (5%). But we can also just list each bullet as separate li. Let's extract the responsibilities text exactly as given, but we can split into logical items. Given length, we can produce a

          with each sentence as
        • maybe too granular but okay. Better to group under headings? But we cannot add extra headings beyond the allowed ones. We can only use h3 for section headings. Inside a section we can have p or ul/li. So we can have a
            with multiple
          • each containing a responsibility sentence. We'll need to ensure we don't lose any detail. Let's copy responsibilities text: From "Student & Customer Service - 85%" through to "Other - 5% Perform other related functions as assigned." We'll extract sentences. I'll rewrite as list items: - Develop a personalized, holistic semester by semester success plan for each advisee which incorporates all aspects of the student’s development including their academic, career, transfer, financial, personal and cultural needs and continually review and update the plan to ensure progress is made and goals are achieved. - Academic Advising: Provide accurate and timely academic advising for all programs within assigned field of interest. - Apply appreciative (strengths based) and culturally responsive advising as teaching approaches to help assigned students determine, discover, design and create a pathway to their academic, career, and personal goals. - Embed cultural competence in advising practice. - Assess students’ academic abilities and certainty about career decision based on their academic record, intake assessment responses, career exploration tool results, and placement test results. - Interpret and explain college policies and procedures related to curriculum, advising, student success, and degree completion. - Help students select and make progress through a specific program of study. - Ensure students achieve critical academic milestones. - Maintain detailed advising notes and semester by semester course plans within case management/student success software. - Maintain currency of knowledge regarding FERPA regulations and advising professional standards. - Career Advising: Guide students through career exploration tools and assessments to assist in career identification. - Assist students to understand their interests, abilities, skills, and values in order to develop realistic academic and career goals. - Apply career coaching and career development facilitator skills and concepts; identify educational and career options appropriate for each student and assist with the analysis of each option, including possible outcomes and their implications. - Collaborate with faculty in the FOI regarding career information and connect students with faculty mentors as appropriate for additional career exploration and guidance. - Help students plan for career transition and connect them with related Career and Job Placement Center resources including job shadowing, internships, employment readiness skills workshops, and other services. - Transfer Advising: Support students through the transfer school selection process. - Incorporate transfer school admission and major requirements into students’ academic and success plans. - Receive information, guidance, and resources from the college’s Transfer Information Coordinator regarding accurate transfer planning. - Financial Advising: Provide support for students to secure funding for their education and develop a financial plan. - Collaborate with Financial Aid in understanding various funding opportunities including scholarships and grants. - Provide appropriate referrals and assist with necessary paperwork. - Personal Advising: Reinforce importance of and help students apply success skills and strategies learned in orientation and the student success course. - Assess student needs and connect them to existing college resources; identify resources to enhance both academic success and personal development. - Encourage students to engage in co-curricular opportunities related to their FOI and personal goals.
