We need to output HTML fragment only, with headings

for sections: 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. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit 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. General Information & Responsibilities: includes description of duties. We have sections: About the role (maybe from General Information & Responsibilities). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (education & experience). Qualifications maybe similar. Skills maybe from competencies. Benefits maybe not present. Pay is given: they list pay rates. Schedule not given. We must not create sections with placeholder text. So we need to include sections only if we have real content. We have: - About the role: maybe a short paragraph describing the position: "Black Hawk College seeks Adjunct Faculty/Part-time Instructor for Engineering Department. Review of applications will begin immediately." That's substantive. - Responsibilities: list of duties: "Faculty member is expected to encourage learning by preparing appropriate syllabi; by developing lectures, discussions, and other presentations or activities to enhance the students educational experience; develops, and executes appropriate methods of evaluating students performance; develops, secures, and maintains the equipment and other instructional materials essential to the presentation of the classroom material." That's a list of duties; we can put as

    • each duty separated by semicolons? The text includes multiple duties separated by semicolons. We can split into list items. - Requirements: Education & Experience: includes bullet points: "ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY, General Competencies - Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (or its equivalent in demonstrated professional competence) or related field with 2000 documented hours of related experience in an engineering technology field. Master’s degree in engineering, engineering technology, manufacturing, or an integrated technology discipline such as Mechatronics is preferred. Previous training or classroom instructional experience at an accredited institution is desirable with documented work experience with demonstrated applied hands-on experience representative of technical expertise in a professional industrial setting is preferred. Must possess demonstrated oral English proficiency for classroom instruction." Then there is "ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY: ELECTRICAL TRACK - ..." which is more specific requirements. Thus we can combine into Requirements section. - Qualifications: maybe we can treat as same as Requirements? But we need to avoid duplicate sections. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Education & Experience and maybe Skills into one "Requirements" or "Qualifications". But we have separate headings allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education/experience), Skills (maybe the specific competencies like oral English proficiency, hands-on experience, etc.), Pay (explicit rates). Benefits not given. Schedule not given. We should not create Benefits or Schedule sections because no specific content. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "Pay is commensurate with education and experience." That's somewhat generic but they also give specific rates. The phrase "Pay is commensurate with education and experience." is filler but we have actual rates after. We should include the Pay section with the specific rates. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. They do state pay rates, so we can include Pay section with those rates. We should include the specific rates, not just the generic phrase. We can include the rates as list items maybe. We should also include the note about Black Hawk College does not sponsor employment visas, AA/EEO employer? That's boilerplate EEO/equal-opportunity, which we should remove. Also the supplemental information about application instructions, we should remove. Also the Job ID "#hc81772" should be folded into short

      or dropped. Probably drop it. We need to preserve all substantive information: that includes the pay rates, the requirement details, the responsibilities, the general info, the supplemental info about transcripts, etc. The supplemental info includes: "Applications accepted online through the Black Hawk College website or through www.governmentjobs.com. Candidates are encouraged to upload/attach a cover letter and resume/CV with the online application. Candidates needing assistance with the online application process should refer to the online help guide available at www.bhc.edu/employment. Any instructor hired at Black Hawk College will be required to submit official transcripts at his/her own expense. Transcripts, once submitted, become property of Black Hawk College." This is partly application instructions (which we should remove) but also transcript requirement (substantive). The instruction says: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove application instructions like "Applications accepted online..." and "Candidates are encouraged to upload..." and "Candidates needing assistance...". However the transcript requirement is substantive and not exactly an application instruction? It's a condition of hire. Might be considered part of hiring process but not application instruction. The instruction says remove application instructions. The transcript requirement is more like a condition of employment. I'd keep it. Thus we need to keep: "Any instructor hired at Black Hawk College will be required to submit official transcripts at his/her own expense. Transcripts, once submitted, become property of Black Hawk College." Also we need to keep the statement about Black Hawk College does not sponsor employment visas. That's maybe legal/boilerplate? It's a visa sponsorship statement. Might be considered legal boilerplate. The instruction says remove legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Visa sponsorship could be considered legal. I'd remove it. Also remove AA/EEO employer line. Now we need to format. We'll produce:

      About the role

      • Develop and execute appropriate methods of evaluating student performance.
      • Develop, secure, and maintain equipment and other instructional materials essential to the presentation of classroom material.

      Requirements

      Engineering Technology – General Competencies

      • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (or its equivalent in demonstrated professional competence) or related field with 2000 documented hours of related experience in an engineering technology field.
      • Master’s degree in engineering, engineering technology, manufacturing, or an integrated technology discipline such as Mechatronics is preferred.
      • Previous training or classroom instructional experience at an accredited institution is desirable.
      • Documented work experience with demonstrated applied hands‑on experience representative of technical expertise in a professional industrial setting is preferred.
      • Must possess demonstrated oral English proficiency for classroom instruction.

      Engineering Technology – Electrical Track

      • Bachelor’s degree and 2,000 documented hours of related experience in an engineering technology field.
      • Master’s degree (preferred).
      • Two years documented hands‑on experience with programmable, single‑loop and distributed control instruments; industrial experience in engineering, engineering tech, electronic assembly, quality control, process control, industrial electrical maintenance, electrical supervision in an integrated Mechatronic discipline.
      • Demonstrate component‑level understanding of fundamental circuit concepts and control system principles.
      • Accurately read and interpret electronic schematic diagrams, process loop diagrams, and pipe and instrument diagrams (P&ID’s).
      • Perform closed‑loop system assembly, system “Ring‑out” and overall operational assessment.
      • Perform problem diagnosis/fault isolation, system repair, component calibration and optimal control loop tuning.
      • Instruct in a laboratory environment analog and digital circuit operations at a component level.
      • Determine, correct and explain the proper operation and calibration of common closed‑loop integrated systems composed of electro‑pneumatic, electro‑hydraulic and electro‑mechanical instruments.

      Pay

      • Minimum starting pay for adjunct faculty (as of Fall 2024):
        • Less than a Master's Degree = $693.36 per equated hour
        • Master's Degree = $808.92 per equated hour
        • Doctorate = $866.70 per equated hour
      We also need to include the transcript requirement. Where to put? Could be under a separate section like "Additional Information" but we don't have a heading for that. Could add a

      after Pay or within About the role? Probably better to add a separate section like "Additional Information" but not in allowed headings. The allowed headings list includes Benefits, Pay, Schedule, etc. Not "Additional Information". However we could incorporate transcript requirement into About the role or Responsibilities? It's not exactly about role. Could add a

      after Pay as a prose paragraph. The instruction says use

      for prose. So we can add a

      after Pay section: "Any instructor hired at Black Hawk College will be required to submit official transcripts at his/her own expense. Transcripts, once submitted, become property of Black Hawk College." We should also ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "Black Hawk College is an AA/EEO employer." Removed. Check for duplicated lines: we have not duplicated. Check for any placeholder text: we have no "commensurate with experience" etc. We have the specific pay rates, good. Check for any mention of "Pay is commensurate with education and experience." We omitted that phrase; we only included the specific rates. That's fine because we preserved substantive information (the rates). The generic phrase is not needed. Check for any mention of "Black Hawk College does not sponsor employment visas." We removed. Check for any mention of "Supplemental Information" heading; we removed. Now ensure we didn't include any markdown fences. Just raw HTML. Check that we used

      for section headings. Yes. Check that we used
      • for lists. Yes. Check that we used

        for prose. Yes. Check that we didn't repeat job title as heading. We didn't. Check that we didn't put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We didn't include it at all; we dropped it. Check that we didn't include any empty sections. All sections have content. Now output only the HTML fragment. Potential improvements: The Pay section currently has nested

          . Might be better to have a
            with
          • each rate
