We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting includes "Position Overview", "Job Description" with percentages, "Position Requirements", "Required Qualifications", "Preferred Qualifications", "Additional Candidate Instructions", "Contact Information to Applicants", "Advertised Salary Range", "Application Review Begins", "Anticipated Start Date", "Apply to Job". We need to extract substantive info. We need to decide sections: About the role (position overview), Responsibilities (the job description percentages), Requirements (position requirements maybe includes driver's license, on-site), Qualifications (required and preferred), Skills (maybe implied but we can include if present), Benefits (none given), Pay (advertised salary range), Schedule (maybe not given). We should only include sections with real content. We have salary range: 40,000-42,000 (presumably per year). So Pay section. Schedule: Not given explicitly; maybe not include. Benefits: Not given; skip. Skills: Could extract from required qualifications: excellent written communication skills, experience with Microsoft Office, etc. Could put under Skills. But we must not invent content. We can create a Skills section listing those skills explicitly mentioned: excellent written communication skills, proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, ability to problem solve, collaborative fast-paced environment, etc. Those are in the text. So we can include. Qualifications: Required and Preferred. Responsibilities: The percentages and bullet-like duties. We'll convert to
  • . About the role: Position Overview paragraph. We must not duplicate lines. Ensure we capture all substantive info. Let's extract: Position Overview paragraph: "The Administrative Associate for Facilities Operations supports the Housing & Residence Life Facilities team, which is responsible for management and quality review of maintenance and custodial activity in all on-campus housing facilities. This position is responsible for schedule development and coordination; shares information by telephone, in person, and via email correspondence; and interprets and applies state, university, and Housing & Residence Life (HRL) requirements, policies, and practices relating to facilities, housing operations, and building management. This position is the primary administrative contact for the HRL Facilities Operations team, while also working closely with other areas within Housing & Residence Life to ensure coordinated responses that support students and guests living on campus. This position regularly interacts with other KU staff, vendors, contractors, students, parents, and guests. This position assists with coordination of maintenance and cleaning turns in vacant units throughout the academic year and summer turn cycle. The incumbent will manage multiple projects and deadlines to ensure that facilities are prepared and ready for occupancy. The incumbent must have a strong ability to problem solve while working in a collaborative, fast-paced environment with rapidly changing priorities. Housing & Residence Life at the University of Kansas is home to over 5000 students on the Lawrence campus in residence halls, apartments, and cooperative houses known as scholarship halls. Our office is strongly committed to promoting and supporting students during their time living on campus." That's the overview. Job Description percentages: 35% Customer & Administrative Support, 25% Oversight & Reporting, 20% Unit Turns & Preparation, 15% Project Administration, 5% Other Assigned Duties. Each with details. We'll combine into responsibilities list. Position Requirements: "This position requires working on-site. Valid Driver’s License at time of hire and throughout duration of employment." Required Qualifications: "High School diploma or GED equivalency and two (2) years of office experience or two (2) years of post-secondary education. Excellent written communication skills, evidenced in application materials. Two years' experience general office and administrative support work to include in-person and telephone contact duties. Two years' experience with basic computer systems and operations, including Microsoft Office Suite." Preferred Qualifications: "Bachelor’s degree. Knowledge of materials, methods, and practices used in maintenance and custodial fields, as evidenced in application materials. Experience working in a higher education setting, as evidenced by previous work history." Additional Candidate Instructions: cover letter, resume, list of three professional references, only complete applications considered, application review begins Monday, October 5, 2026, and will continue until a qualified pool of applicants are identified. Contact Information: Steve Bergman stevenbergman@ku.edu. Advertised Salary Range 40,000-42,000. Application Review Begins Monday October 5, 2026. Anticipated Start Date Monday November 2, 2026. Apply to Job. We need to remove application instructions? The instruction says: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove the "Additional Candidate Instructions" and "Contact Information to Applicants" and "Application Review Begins" etc? Those are application instructions. However we need to preserve substantive info like salary range, anticipated start date? The instruction says remove application instructions. The salary range and start date might be considered part of posting but not application instructions? The salary range is substantive. The start date maybe also substantive. The contact info maybe considered application instructions? It's contact for applicants. Might be considered application instructions. Safer to keep salary range and anticipated start date as they are substantive job details. The contact info maybe not needed. The instruction says remove application instructions; contact info is part of application instructions. So we can drop contact info. Keep salary range and anticipated start date? The start date is also part of application timeline; could be considered application instruction. But it's a job detail. I'd keep it. We need to avoid duplication: we have "Application Review Begins Monday October 5, 2026." appears twice; we keep once. Now produce HTML. Structure:

    We could break each percentage as separate li.

    Qualifications

    Maybe split into Required and Preferred? Could have two subsections? But we only have headings for Qualifications (generic). Could include both required and preferred within same section using
      and maybe note. But we could also have separate headings? Not allowed unless they match list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can only use those headings. So we put Required and Preferred under Qualifications. We can do:
