We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove navigation etc. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: - About the role: The first paragraph about Vanderbilt University employs part-time permanent employees (Admissions Specialists) to support review... Also "About The Work Unit" description. So we can combine. - Responsibilities: List of duties: Fully evaluate all components of a first-year application... etc. Also "Attend 4-day in-person reader training in October of every year", "Work 20-29 hours from approx. October 15- March 30, bluesheeting and evaluating first year and transfers", "Attend weekly meetings", "Maintain confidentiality". Also "Maintain communication with Admissions Officers of your assigned geographic territories. Communicate frequently about: File volume Trends File corrections Conduct paired reading evaluations with Admissions Officers from your geographic territories". Also "Read and understand manuals for bluesheeting, assessment, and evaluation of first year applicants, as well as transfer applicants". Also "Understand file volume and deadlines throughout the season, adjusting work priorities as needed". Also "Become an expert in 3-4 domestic territories and/or 1-2 international territories- Understand transcripts from these territories (including typical class rank practices, grading trends, class titling) Understand typical extracurricular offerings, research opportunities and regional awards, titles from your geographic location". So responsibilities list. - Requirements: Likely education and certifications: "A bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution of higher education, or the equivalent in experience, is necessary. At least two years’ experience working in an education setting (High School or higher education preferred)". Also maybe "Must be able to use a private home office to maintain confidentiality." That's more requirement. Also "Access to high-speed internet connection is required." Also "Ability to work independently and meet strict, stated deadlines is necessary." That's skill but could be requirement. We'll separate. - Qualifications: Could be overlapping with education and experience. Might combine with Requirements. But we need to decide sections: maybe "Education And Certifications" as Qualifications. "Experience And Skills" as Skills. But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule info beyond work hours (20-29 hours from approx Oct 15- Mar 30). That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that detail. Benefits not mentioned, so omit. Pay not mentioned, omit. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education/experience), Qualifications maybe could be same as Requirements? But we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps Requirements = education and experience; Qualifications = specific knowledge/abilities like understanding transcripts, etc. But those are more responsibilities. Hmm. Better: Use Requirements for education/experience; Qualifications for "Ability to work independently and meet strict, stated deadlines is necessary. Competence and comfort with entering data into web-based forms and a solid knowledge of technology with ability to work independently using that technology is necessary. Strong analytical and data analysis skills are necessary. Strong basic math skills are necessary. Knowledge of Microsoft Excel is preferred. Ability to understand and maintain strict confidentiality of admissions processes and application data. Must be able to use a private home office to maintain confidentiality. Ability to communicate and collaborate within a team. Ability to manage time constraints and reading goals set by management team. Access to high-speed internet connection is required." That's a mix of skills and qualifications. But we also have Skills heading. Could split: Qualifications = education/experience; Skills = technical/soft skills. Let's decide: - Requirements: Education and experience (bachelor's degree, 2 years education setting). Could also include "Must be able to use a private home office to maintain confidentiality." but that's more a requirement. - Qualifications: Maybe not needed if we already covered. But we need to avoid empty sections. Could combine education/experience into Qualifications and leave Requirements empty? But we need to follow instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we can decide which sections have content. Let's map content: About the role: yes. Responsibilities: yes. Requirements: education and experience (bachelor's degree, 2 years education setting). Also maybe "Must be able to use a private home office to maintain confidentiality." and "Access to high-speed internet connection is required." Those are requirements. Qualifications: Could be "Ability to work independently and meet strict, stated deadlines is necessary. Competence and comfort with entering data into web-based forms and a solid knowledge of technology with ability to work independently using that technology is necessary. Strong analytical and data analysis skills are necessary. Strong basic math skills are necessary. Knowledge of Microsoft Excel is preferred. Ability to understand and maintain strict confidentiality of admissions processes and application data. Ability to communicate and collaborate within a team. Ability to manage time constraints and reading goals set by management team." That's more like skills/qualifications. Skills: Could be overlapping. But we could treat Qualifications as the list of abilities, and Skills as maybe "Knowledge of Microsoft Excel is preferred." but that's too thin. Better to follow typical job posting: Requirements = education/experience; Qualifications = specific knowledge/skills; Skills = maybe technical skills. But we have limited distinct categories. Given instruction to prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones, we could combine Qualifications and Skills into one section, but we must use headings exactly as listed if we include them. We could include only About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, and Schedule. Omit Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. That would be acceptable because we only include sections with real content. The instruction says: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It gives examples but not mandatory to use all. It says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we can omit those lacking content. Thus we will output:

We must preserve all substantive info. Let's extract. About the role: Combine first paragraph and "About The Work Unit". Let's write: Vanderbilt University employs part-time permanent employees (Admissions Specialists) to support the review and evaluation of the applications received in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions (OUA) for each reading cycle. Specialists play an important role in the review and evaluation process of first-year and transfer students and support the overall goals of both OUA and VU. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions at Vanderbilt University is a critical unit within University Enrollment Affairs (UEA). Its mission is to recruit, select, and enroll a diverse cohort of degree-seeking first-year and transfer students who are intellectually curious, academically talented, and socially engaged. The Office consists of a team that includes the Director, an experienced group of admissions officers, and a well-seasoned support staff engaged in marketing Vanderbilt globally. To accomplish this, members of the OUA team travel both domestically and abroad to conduct high school visits, attend college fairs, and do speaking engagements. The Office communicates systematically with hundreds of thousands of prospective students through traditional printed publications, the web, and other social media channels and serves as the first point of contact for members of the public interested in VU. That's about the role. Responsibilities: list items: - Fully evaluate all components of a first-year application to Vanderbilt University- from initial intake to final assessment. - Become an expert in 3-4 domestic territories and/or 1-2 international territories- Understand transcripts from these territories (including typical class rank practices, grading trends, class titling) - Understand typical extracurricular offerings, research opportunities and regional awards, titles from your geographic location - Understand file volume and deadlines throughout the season, adjusting work priorities as needed - Read and understand manuals for bluesheeting, assessment, and evaluation of first year applicants, as well as transfer applicants - Maintain communication with Admissions Officers of your assigned geographic territories. Communicate frequently about:- File volume Trends File corrections - Conduct paired reading evaluations with Admissions Officers from your geographic territories - Attend 4-day in-person reader training in October of every year - Work 20-29 hours from approx. October 15- March 30, bluesheeting and evaluating first year and transfers - Attend weekly meetings - Maintain confidentiality We should ensure each as
  • . Requirements: list: - A bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution of higher education, or the equivalent in experience, is necessary. - At least two years’ experience working in an education setting (High School or higher education preferred) - Must be able to use a private home office to maintain confidentiality. - Access to high-speed internet connection is required. Also maybe "Ability to work independently and meet strict, stated deadlines is necessary." but that's more skill; we could include but it's okay to put in Requirements. However to avoid duplication, we could keep it in Requirements as it's a requirement. But we already have many. Let's include it. - Ability to work independently and meet strict, stated deadlines is necessary. - Competence and comfort with entering data into web-based forms and a solid knowledge of technology with ability to work independently using that technology is necessary. - Strong analytical and data analysis skills are necessary. - Strong basic math skills are necessary. - Knowledge of Microsoft Excel is preferred. - Ability to understand and maintain strict confidentiality of admissions processes and application data. - Ability to communicate and collaborate within a team. - Ability to manage time constraints and reading goals set by management team. But that's a lot; maybe better to put those under Skills. However we decided to omit Skills section. But we could include them under Requirements as they are requirements. The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Having a huge Requirements list may be okay. But we could split into Requirements (education/experience) and Skills (abilities). However we already omitted Skills heading; but we could include Skills section with those items. That would be more sections but still substantive. Let's think: The posting includes many skill-like items. It would be reasonable to have a Skills section. The instruction says we can include sections only when posting has real, specific content. So we can include Skills. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education/experience), Skills (technical/soft skills), Schedule. We'll omit Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat content. Let's allocate: Requirements (education/experience): - Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution of higher education, or equivalent experience. - At least two years’ experience working in an education setting (High School or higher education preferred). - Must be able to use a private home office to maintain confidentiality. - Access to high-speed internet connection is required. Skills: - Ability to work independently and meet strict, stated deadlines. - Competence and comfort with entering data into web-based forms and solid knowledge of technology; ability to work independently using that technology. - Strong analytical and data analysis skills. - Strong basic math skills. - Knowledge of Microsoft Excel (preferred). - Ability to understand and maintain strict confidentiality of admissions processes and application data. - Ability to communicate and collaborate within a team. - Ability to manage time constraints and reading goals set by management team. Schedule: - Work 20-29 hours from approximately October 15 through March 30 (bluesheeting and evaluating first-year and transfer applications). - Attend 4-day in-person reader training each October. - Attend weekly meetings. But note schedule items also appear in responsibilities; we might duplicate. To
