Application Services Manager

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present with real content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must include Pay Rate if present: yes, we have Pay Rate (or Annual Salary): $159,264 - $193,617/annual. So we need a Pay section with that info. Also Schedule? There's "Job Work Schedule Physical Demands and Working Environment:" includes schedule info: "Some evening, weekend, and travel maybe required." Also physical demands. We could include Schedule section with that info. Benefits? Not mentioned. So we omit Benefits. Also we need sections like About the role (Job Summary), Responsibilities (Representative Duties), Requirements (Minimum Education And Experience, Minimum Qualifications, Knowledge of, Ability To, Desirable Qualifications maybe). Qualifications could be separate. But we need to avoid thin sections. We can combine some. We must preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, scam warning, application instructions, etc. Must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out things like "Posting Number:", "Open Date:", "Close Date Open Until Filled:", "Special Instructions To Applicants", "Notification To Applicants", "Instructions For Personal Qualifications Statement", "To apply, visit ...", EEO statement, copyright, etc. We must keep Job Location, Department, Pay Rate, Job Summary, General Description, Representative Duties, Minimum Education And Experience, Minimum Qualifications (Knowledge of, Ability To), Desirable Qualifications, Job Work Schedule Physical Demands and Working Environment (maybe as Schedule). Also maybe "Appointment" info? It says "APPOINTMENT The Application Services Manager shall be selected by the Governing Board upon the nomination of the District Chancellor." That's substantive; could be part of About the role or a separate section? Probably include in About the role or Responsibilities? It's about appointment process; could be included in About the role. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we start with maybe

About the role

containing Job Summary, General Description, Appointment note. Then

Responsibilities

containing Representative Duties list as

• . Then

  Requirements

  containing Minimum Education And Experience (Education/Training, Experience) plus maybe Minimum Qualifications (Knowledge of, Ability To) and Desirable Qualifications. But we need to avoid thin sections; maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? However the instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Requirements and Qualifications separate if they have content. We have both. We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Pay is present, Schedule is present (Job Work Schedule Physical Demands and Working Environment). Benefits not present, so omit. We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from Minimum Education And Experience, Minimum Qualifications (Knowledge of, Ability To), Desirable Qualifications. We need to format lists appropriately. For Knowledge of and Ability To, they are bullet-like sentences separated by line breaks. We can turn each line into
• . Might be long but okay. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat. Let's extract content.

We can put that in Schedule section. Now we must not include any boilerplate like Posting Number, Open Date, etc. Also remove Special Instructions, Notification, Instructions For Personal Qualifications Statement, To apply, EEO, copyright, etc. Now produce HTML fragment with sections. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Skills? Not separate; we have Ability To etc. Could put Skills under Qualifications? But we already have Qualifications heading for Knowledge of and Ability To. Desirable Qualifications could be under Qualifications as well, maybe as a subsection. But we need to follow instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Requirements and Qualifications separate. Skills maybe not needed. We'll include:

  About the role

  with paragraphs: Job Summary, General Description, Appointment note.

  Responsibilities

  with
  • each duty.

    Requirements

    with

    for Education/Training and Experience and sensitivity statement? Could be

    but it's not a list of duties; we can use

    for each line. Better: Use

    for prose. So we can have

    Education/Training: Bachelor's degree.

    etc. But we must not invent formatting; just use

    . We'll include the sentences.

    Qualifications

    with two subparts: Knowledge of and Ability To and Desirable Qualifications. Could use
    for each. We'll produce
    • for Knowledge of items, another
      • for Ability To items, and another
        • for Desirable Qualifications.

          Pay

          with

          $159,264 - $193,617/annual

          Schedule

          with

          containing the schedule text. Make sure not to include any extra whitespace? It's fine. Now check we didn't miss any substantive info: Job Location and Department were in the header but not in the body? The posting includes "Job Location: District Office - Dublin, 7
