We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings using

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: About The Department (but we should not repeat job title; we can have About the role? Actually "About The Department" is about department; we could map to "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those exact headings if content exists. We have content about department and position; we could put under "About the role" a summary of the position description (the "About The Position" paragraph). Also we have responsibilities list (long). We have qualifications (Required Qualifications). We have maybe no explicit Skills section separate; but qualifications include experience etc. Could treat as Requirements/Qualifications. Benefits, Pay, Schedule: posting includes Salary: Salary starting in the low 70K's, commensurate with education and experience. That's pay info but it's vague "low 70K's, commensurate...". The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state salary, albeit vague. Should we include Pay section? It says "Salary: Salary starting in the low 70K's, commensurate with education and experience". That's specific enough? It's not a number but a range. It's still stated. So we can include Pay section with that sentence. Schedule: Work Schedule: Full-time (1.0 FTE, 40 hrs/wk). Also Workplace Type: Hybrid. So we have schedule info. Benefits: not explicitly listed. No benefits mentioned. So we should not include Benefits section. Also we have Department info maybe under About the role. Could also include About the department as part of About the role. We'll not repeat job title. We need to remove boilerplate: classification, job category, job type, work schedule (we will use in Schedule), location, workplace type, sponsorship eligibility, restricted, background check etc. Those are minor metadata; we can fold into a short p or drop. Probably we can include a short p with location and work schedule etc. But we already have Schedule section; location could be in a p under About the role or separate? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include a short p with location and maybe workplace type. But we already have Schedule section for work schedule; location could be in a p. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details about department, position, responsibilities (broken into sub-sections? The responsibilities are grouped into categories: Supervision and Leadership, Administration, Collaborations and Partnerships, Residence Life Programming, Departmental And Divisional Responsibilities. We could keep them as

  • items, maybe grouping with headings? But instruction: use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a single list of responsibilities, each duty as
    • . Could also keep subheadings inside
    • ? Probably better to keep as list items, each duty as a sentence. We'll need to extract all responsibilities sentences. Similarly, Required Qualifications: we need to list as
      • . We also need to include any other specifics like "live-on role", "participates in Assistant Director duty rotation", etc. Those are in responsibilities. Let's parse responsibilities section: It's a long paragraph with many semicolons. We'll split by semicolons and maybe each clause becomes a list item. Responsibilities text: "Supervision and Leadership Provides guidance, leadership, and direction to ensure appropriate supervisory support to direct reports (Community Directors, Coordinators, and Grad staff), quality supervision of indirect reports (Grad staff and student staff), and team accountability;Establishes and communicates performance goals, expectations, and deadlines for supervised staff to ensure alignment with departmental priorities, university goals, and effective delivery of residential programs and services;Organizes workflow for Residence Life to ensure that employees understand their duties or delegated tasks.

We'll need to extract each clause as list item. Might be many items; that's okay. Now Required Qualifications: "Master’s degree in related field or equivalent combination of education and experience;Professional experience typically obtained in 3+ years in residence life and/or residential services; 2 years of graduate level experience may be substituted for 1 year of professional experience;Experience supervising profe" (cut off).
