Education$36k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections only when real content. Use
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Payroll Title: COACH AST 3 (maybe not needed)
- Department: INTRCOLGTE ATHLETICS
- Hiring Pay Scale: $35,717 / Year
- Worksite: Campus
- Appointment Type: Contract
- Appointment Percent: BYA, 43.75% (maybe "BYA" stands for something; but we keep as given)
- Union: Uncovered
- Total Openings: 1
- Work Schedule: Variable, Variable, Variable (maybe three variables? Actually "Variable, Variable, Variable" maybe placeholder; but we need to include schedule only if posting actually states them. It says "Work Schedule Variable, Variable, Variable". That seems like placeholder; but we need to see if it's real content. It says "Work Schedule Variable, Variable, Variable". That's likely placeholder; we should not create a Schedule section if it's just placeholder like "Variable, Variable, Variable". The instruction: never emit a 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 the posting actually states them. Here "Variable, Variable, Variable" is placeholder; we should not create Schedule section.
- Job ID #140334 (ignore)
- Title: Assistant Coach - Track & Field (Throws)
- Extended Deadline: Mon 10/5/2026 (maybe ignore as application instruction? It's a deadline; but we are to remove application instructions. Probably we should drop deadline as it's part of application instructions. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So deadline is application instruction; drop.
- Then description: UC San Diego values... (EEO boilerplate) we need to remove EEO boilerplate. The paragraph starting "UC San Diego values and welcomes people from all backgrounds." is EEO boilerplate; remove.
- Then: "If you are interested in being part of our team, possess the needed licensure and certifications, and feel that you have most of the qualifications and/or transferable skills for a job opening, we strongly encourage you to apply." That's also encouragement to apply; maybe part of application instructions; we should drop.
- Then: "This is a 43.75% contract position for one year with the possibility to extend based on department need." This is substantive: appointment percent and contract length. Could be part of About the role or maybe we can include in a section like About the role.
- Then "Description" heading (but we should not repeat job title as heading; we can treat "Description" as a section heading? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should map content to those headings. Probably we should create sections: About the role (maybe includes description of role, department, etc.), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe qualifications), Qualifications (maybe separate?), Skills (maybe combine). But we need to avoid thin sections.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract substantive content:

- Background check is required.

- This position is a campus security authority (CSA) for the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, which is a federal law requiring disclosure of information about crimes on and around campus.
- Work schedule will be arranged with Head Coach, but often includes evenings, weekends and holidays.
- Must be CPR/AED - First Aid Certified.
- Pay Transparency Act: Annual Full Pay Range: $0 - $0 (will be prorated if the appointment percentage is less than 100%) Hourly Equivalent: $0.00 - $0.00 (this is placeholder; we should not create Pay section if it's just zeros? The posting actually states Pay Transparency Act Annual Full Pay Range: $0 - $0 (will be prorated...). That's placeholder; we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does state them but they are zeros; but it's still stating them. However the instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state them, but they are zero placeholders. Might be considered filler? The instruction says never emit a 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 the posting actually states them. Here they state $0 - $0, which is placeholder but it's still stated. I'd lean to not include Pay section because it's meaningless zero; but the instruction says "unless the posting actually states them". It does state them (though zero). However they also say "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". Zero could be considered placeholder. Safer to omit Pay section.
- Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly. So no Benefits section.
- Schedule: The posting mentions "Work Schedule Variable, Variable, Variable" (placeholder) and later "Work schedule will be arranged with Head Coach, but often includes evenings, weekends and holidays." That's substantive schedule info. So we should include a Schedule section with that info.
Thus we need sections: About the role (maybe includes position, department, worksite, appointment type, percent, duration), Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe combine qualifications and preferred qualifications?), Skills (maybe we can separate skills from qualifications? But we have many skill-like items; we could put them under Qualifications or Skills. To avoid thin sections, we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (including preferred), Skills (maybe separate), Schedule.
But we must not create sections with filler. Let's decide:
- About the role: includes position title, department, worksite, appointment type, percent, contract duration, possibility to extend.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (the bullet points under Description before Qualifications).
- Qualifications: list of qualifications (Bachelor's degree, recruiting experience, interpersonal skills, leadership, etc.) plus Preferred Qualifications (maybe as a sublist). Could also include Special Conditions? Those are not qualifications but conditions; maybe we could put them under Requirements? But we have no Requirements heading; we could treat Special Conditions as part of Qualifications or maybe a separate section like Requirements (but we have no explicit Requirements heading in the list; but we can use Requirements as a heading). The instruction list includes Requirements as a possible heading. So we could use Requirements for things like background check, mandated reporter, CSA, CPR/AED certification, work schedule evenings/weekends/holidays. However schedule is already covered in Schedule section. So maybe Requirements includes background check, mandated reporter, CSA, CPR/AED.
- Skills: maybe we can extract skill-specific items like ability to use video tagging software, scouting reports, statistical analysis, administrative/organizational skills, etc. But many of those are already in qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could combine qualifications and skills into one Qualifications section. That's acceptable.
- Schedule: includes "Work schedule will be arranged with Head Coach, but often includes evenings, weekends and holidays."
- Pay: we might omit because zero placeholder.
- Benefits: none.
Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Schedule.
Check if any content missing: The description about UC San Diego Athletics tradition etc. That's substantive about the department; could go in About the role.
Let's extract that:
"UC San Diego, located in La Jolla, in the San Diego Metropolitan area, enrolls over 35,000 students, earned recognition as one of the world’s premier research universities, and is ranked as one of the top-10 public universities in the nation. UC San Diego Athletics has a proud tradition of academic and athletic excellence, sponsors 24 varsity sports, and is a member of the Big West Conference."
That's about the institution; we can include in About the role.
Now we
