We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting. We have company description, job description, responsibilities, qualifications, etc. Also benefits, schedule, pay info. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, navigation, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive info. We need to decide sections: - About the role: maybe a summary of the role (Job Summary). Could be "Job Summary: Manage assessment needs of the student body and the organization of educational, social and cultural activities." That's a short sentence. Could be placed under About the role. - Responsibilities: list of duties. Many bullet points. - Requirements: Basic Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience required; Minimum of 5 years’ relevant work experience. - Qualifications: Additional Qualifications and Skills: Graduate degree preferred; Experience in employer relations, preferably within a university career services environment; Demonstrated ability to take initiative, work independently, manage responsibilities with minimal supervision; Ability to remain composed, adaptable, effective during high-volume and fast-paced recruiting periods; Strong outreach, relationship-building, interpersonal, communication skills; Excellent written and verbal communication skills; Proven ability to collaborate effectively with students, faculty, administrators, staff, alumni, external partners; Demonstrated success in meeting challenging deadlines and managing multiple priorities simultaneously; Experience developing, implementing, managing complex administrative processes and systems; Exceptional organizational, project management, technical skills; Proficiency with database management systems, CRM platforms, recruiting software; Strong supervisory and team leadership skills; Flexibility to work evenings and occasional hours outside standard workday; Ability to thrive in collaborative, service-oriented environment while maintaining high level of professionalism and attention to detail. - Skills: maybe we can combine some of these as Skills section? But we already have Qualifications and Skills separate. The instruction says use headings for sections like Skills. We could put skill-based items under Skills. However we already have many skill items in Additional Qualifications and Skills. Could split: Qualifications (education, experience) and Skills (abilities). Let's decide. - Benefits: described. - Pay: we have "Compensation Range/Rate (including Shift Differential if applicable):" but no actual numbers; also "Salary Grade and Ranges This position is salary grade level 057. Please visit Harvard's Salary Ranges to view the corresponding salary range and related information." No explicit numbers. The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. For Pay, we have mention of compensation range but not actual numbers; it's just a reference. Is that considered stating them? It says "Compensation Range/Rate (including Shift Differential if applicable):" but no value. Likely we should not create a Pay section because no actual numbers given. However we could include a short paragraph referencing salary grade and that details are available elsewhere. But the rule says: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). Since we don't have actual numbers, it's unspecified. So we should omit Pay section. - Schedule: we have "Standard Hours/Schedule: 35 hours per week" and also work schedule details: "The work schedule and location will be set by the department at its discretion and based upon operational needs and objectives and consistent with College Policy, which requires 5 days on-site in Cambridge, MA during term time (first day of classes through commencement), with the exception of student breaks." Also "Flexibility to work evenings and occasional hours outside the standard workday". So we have schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. - Benefits: we have a Benefits paragraph with list. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (basic qualifications), Qualifications (additional qualifications), Skills (maybe we can merge some skill items into Qualifications? But we have both headings allowed. To avoid thin sections, we could combine Qualifications and Skills into one section called Qualifications (including skills). However the instruction says we can use those headings but we should prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Additional Qualifications and Skills into a single "Qualifications" section that includes both education/experience and skills. But we already have a Requirements section for basic qualifications. Could have Requirements (basic) and Qualifications (preferred + skills). That seems reasonable. Thus sections: - About the role (h3) with job summary paragraph. - Responsibilities (h3) with ul li list. - Requirements (h3) with ul li list (basic qualifications). - Qualifications (h3) with ul li list (additional qualifications and skills). - Benefits (h3) with ul li list (benefits items). - Schedule (h3) with p paragraphs (maybe also ul for specifics? Could be p). We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, etc. We must preserve all substantive info. Let's extract content. Company Description: Not needed as heading? Could be part of About the role? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). The company description is not a job posting section but could be considered "About the role"? However "About the role" likely refers to role summary. The company description is more about Harvard. Might be considered filler? But it's substantive info about employer. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include company description somewhere. Could be placed under About the role as a paragraph before job summary. Or we could create a separate section like "About Harvard" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings list is examples; we could still use other headings? The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings for sections; not that we cannot use others, but we should follow that pattern. Probably we should embed company description within About the role section. Thus About the role: include company description paragraphs plus job summary. Now Responsibilities: list all job specific responsibilities bullet points. Let's extract them: - Reporting to the Senior Associate Director of Employer Engagement and Operations at the Mignone Center for Career Success (MCS). - Work independently and collaboratively with the Employer Engagement Team, providing a breadth of services to encourage and support employer engagement and connection with students from Harvard College, Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, and Harvard Extension School degree-granting programs. - Within the larger Employer Engagement team, focus on outreach to new employers to increase opportunities for Harvard students, including growing job and internship postings, employer career fair participation, etc. - Office-wide, oversee MCS’s Symplicity career services management platform, Crimson Careers, as well as other vendor platforms and resources. - Lead employer outreach efforts to ensure robust employer engagement across desired industry areas with opportunities for multiple student populations. - Follow entry-level hiring trends, including maintaining information on top internship and early talent programs, and communicate with leadership team and relevant advising units. - Draft and curate employer-related content for regular newsletters, uConnect website, and social media. - Track and communicate success metrics. - Provide data and analysis for regular and ad hoc reporting. - Support the Employer Engagement Team in all functions of employer relations and engagement, including career fairs, presentations, interviews, etc. - Develop and offer a menu of revenue-generating options for employers to engage on campus, monitoring employment trends and soliciting employer feedback to inform programming and advising. - Supervise 2.0 FTEs, the Events and Reception Staff Assistant and the MCS Program Coordinator (pending), as well as temporary staff and student workers. - Oversee Crimson Careers, the MCS Symplicity Career Services Management software platform that is central to all operations, including advising, programming, career fairs, job and internship postings, employer events, employer outreach, and campus interviews. - Oversee MCS use and adoption of additional vendor technologies and resources, including uConnect, 12Twenty, Interstride, Big Interview, Skills Discovery, and Firsthand Advisors. - Participate in full range of office-wide events including employer visits, career fairs, open houses, professional development workshops and university-wide meetings. - Other duties as assigned. Note some duplicates: Oversee Crimson Careers appears twice (once earlier and later). We should deduplicate. Also "Office-wide, oversee MCS’s Symplicity career services management platform, Crimson Careers, as well as other vendor platforms and resources." and later "Oversee Crimson Careers, the MCS Symplicity Career Services Management software platform that is central to all operations, including advising, programming, career fairs, job and internship postings, employer events, employer outreach, and campus interviews." These are similar but we can keep both? Might be considered duplicate. We'll combine into one bullet: Oversee Crimson Careers (MCS Symplicity Career Services Management platform) and other vendor platforms/resources; ensure its use for advising, programming, career fairs, job/internship postings, employer events, outreach, campus interviews. Also "Oversee MCS use and adoption of additional vendor technologies and resources, including uConnect, 12Twenty, Interstride, Big Interview, Skills Discovery, and Firsthand Advisors." Keep. Now Requirements (basic qualifications): - Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience required - Minimum of 5 years’ relevant work experience Now Qualifications (additional qualifications and skills): - Graduate degree preferred. - Experience in employer relations, preferably within a university career services environment. - Demonstrated ability to take initiative, work independently, and manage responsibilities with minimal supervision. - Ability to remain composed, adaptable, and effective during high-volume and fast-paced recruiting periods. - Strong outreach, relationship-building, interpersonal, and communication skills. - Excellent written and verbal communication skills. - Proven ability to collaborate effectively with students, faculty, administrators, staff, alumni, and external partners. - Demonstrated success in meeting challenging deadlines and managing multiple priorities simultaneously. - Experience developing, implementing, and managing complex administrative processes and systems. - Exceptional organizational, project management, and technical skills. - Proficiency with database management systems, CRM platforms, and recruiting software. - Strong supervisory and team leadership skills. - Flexibility to work evenings and occasional hours outside the standard workday to support office operations and events. - Ability to thrive in a collaborative, service-oriented environment while maintaining a high level of professionalism and attention to detail. Now Benefits: list: - Generous paid time off including parental leave - Medical, dental, and vision health insurance coverage starting on day one - Retirement plans with university contributions - Wellbeing and mental health resources - Support for families and caregivers - Professional development opportunities including tuition assistance and reimbursement - Commuter benefits, discounts and campus perks We could also include "Learn more about these and additional benefits on our Benefits & Wellbeing Page." but that's a link; maybe we can include as a sentence. Now Schedule: we have: - Standard Hours/Schedule: 35 hours per week - The work schedule and location will be set by the department at its discretion and based upon operational needs and objectives and consistent with College Policy, which requires 5 days on-site in Cambridge, MA during term time (first day of classes through commencement), with the exception of student breaks. - Flexibility to work evenings and occasional hours outside the standard workday to support office operations and events. - When not working at a Harvard or Harvard-designated location, employees in hybrid positions must work in a Harvard registered state in compliance with the University’s Policy on Employment Outside of Massachusetts. - Additional details about the College policy will be discussed during the interview process. - Certain visa types and funding sources may limit work location. Individuals must meet work location sponsorship requirements prior to employment. - Work Format Details: This position has been determined by school or unit leaders that all duties and responsibilities must be performed at a Harvard or Harvard-designated location.
