We need to output only HTML fragment, using

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions). Must include a section only when posting has real specific content for it; never emit heading with filler/placeholder text. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to parse the job description. Content: - Job Description paragraph: "The Assistant Director of Student Recruitment is a full-time administrative faculty position designed to recruit and enroll associate, undergraduate, and graduate students. The Assistant Director of Student Recruitment will work as a key member of Academic Programs in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, a diverse organization that includes over 3,600 students in over 20 majors and associate and graduate degrees. Reporting to the Director of Enrollment Management, the Assistant Director of Student Recruitment will apply a strategic vision to lead recruiting and promotion initiatives to facilitate enrollment growth for incoming associate, undergraduate, and graduate students across the College." That's about the role. Could be "About the role" section. - Required Qualifications list: bullet points (multiple lines). We'll put under "Requirements" or "Qualifications". The spec says we can use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which sections to include. We have Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into "Qualifications" with sub-sections? But we must not create thin sections. Perhaps we can have a single "Qualifications" section containing both required and preferred as lists. Or separate "Required Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications" as headings? The allowed headings list includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. It didn't list "Required Qualifications" or "Preferred Qualifications". We could use "Qualifications" heading and inside have two lists: Required and Preferred. But we need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have two
      under the heading, each preceded by a

      indicating "Required:" and "Preferred:" maybe. But we must not invent filler. It's okay to have a

      describing. - Overtime Status Exempt: Not eligible for overtime. Appointment Type Regular. Salary Information 49,725 - 69,615. Hours per week 40; M-F 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Review Date 08/02/2026 (open until filled). Additional Information: criminal conviction check. About Virginia Tech paragraph (mission statement). Then EEO statement etc (boilerplate to remove). Also "If you are an individual with a disability..." that's accommodation request - maybe considered boilerplate? It's not exactly EEO but could be considered legal. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The accommodation request might be considered legal; but it's specific to the job posting. However it's a standard statement; but it's not duplicated. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove it? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The accommodation request is not exactly application instructions; it's a request for accommodation. Might be considered legal boilerplate. I'd remove it to be safe. Also "Review Date 08/02/2026 (open until filled)" - that's metadata; could be folded into a short

      or dropped. 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

      for Review Date maybe. We need to include Pay and Schedule sections only if posting actually states them. It does: Salary Information 49,725 - 69,615. Hours per week 40; M-F 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. So we can have Pay and Schedule sections. Benefits: not mentioned explicitly. So we should not create Benefits section. Responsibilities: The job description includes some responsibilities: recruit and enroll students, work as key member, apply strategic vision to lead recruiting and promotion initiatives to facilitate enrollment growth. Also coordinate and support events or student-facing programming (from qualifications). But those are qualifications. There's no explicit list of duties beyond that. Could create a "Responsibilities" section with the description paragraph. But we already have About the role. Might combine. We need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can have sections: About the role (description), Qualifications (required and preferred), Pay, Schedule. That's four sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Assistant Director. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat same info. Now craft HTML. Structure:

      About the role

      ... (the description paragraph)

      Qualifications

      Required:

      • Bachelor’s degree with equivalent experience
      • Experience in recruitment or admissions
      • Demonstrated ability to coordinate and support events or student-facing programming
      • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with a focus on relationship-building with students and families
      • Knowledge of social media advertising strategies and management
      • Ability to supervise student interns
      • Experience in complex project management
      • Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills
      • Ability to work independently without excessive supervision or follow-up
      • Flexibility to work evenings and weekends and the ability to travel occasionally

      Preferred:

      • Master’s degree in an applicable field
      • Experience with digital advertising and analytics
      • Experience with marketing and outreach via social media
      • Experience using a CRM (customer relationship management) system
      • Intermediate data analysis and Excel skills to support strategy development
      • Demonstrated skills in event planning and coordination

      Pay

      Salary range: $49,725 – $69,615 per year.

      Schedule

      40 hours per week, Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

      We might also include a short metadata paragraph for Review Date. Could add after Schedule maybe as a

      minor metadata. But instruction: fold minor metadata into a short

      or drop it. We could add a

      after Schedule:

      Review date: 08/02/2026 (open until filled).

      That's okay. But we must not create a heading for it. So just a paragraph. Also Additional Information: criminal conviction check. Could include as a paragraph under maybe Additional Information but we don't have a heading for that. Could add a

      after the metadata:

      Successful candidate will be required to undergo a criminal conviction check.

      We must preserve all substantive information. So include that. Now check for any duplicated lines: The Required Qualifications list includes "Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with a focus on relationship-building with students and families" and later "Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills". Those are similar but not duplicate; we keep both. Now ensure we removed boilerplate: The Virginia Tech description paragraph is substantive; we might keep it as part of About the role? Actually we have About the role already describing the job. The Virginia Tech description is about the institution; could be considered boilerplate but it's specific to the employer. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The Virginia Tech description is not exactly that; it's about the university. Might be considered relevant. However we already have About the role; adding another paragraph about the university could be considered extra but not boilerplate. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the Virginia Tech description. Where to put? Could be part of About the role or a separate section like "About the employer". But we only have allowed headings list; we could add a heading "About Virginia Tech" but not in list. Better to incorporate into About the role paragraph, maybe after the job description. But we must not repeat job title as heading; we can have a paragraph about the employer. Thus About the role section could contain two paragraphs: first about the role, second about Virginia Tech. Let's craft:

      About the role

      The Assistant Director of Student Recruitment is a full-time administrative faculty position designed to recruit and enroll associate, undergraduate, and graduate students. The Assistant Director of Student Recruitment will work as a key member of Academic Programs in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, a diverse organization that includes over 3,600 students in over 20 majors and associate and graduate degrees. Reporting to the Director of Enrollment Management, the Assistant Director of Student Recruitment will apply a strategic vision to lead recruiting and promotion initiatives to facilitate enrollment growth for incoming associate, undergraduate, and graduate students across the College.

      Virginia Tech is dedicated to its motto, Ut Prosim (That I May Serve), pushing the boundaries of knowledge by taking a hands‑on, transdisciplinary approach to preparing scholars to be leaders and problem‑solvers. A comprehensive land‑grant institution that enhances the quality of life in Virginia and throughout the world, Virginia Tech is an inclusive community dedicated to knowledge, discovery, and creativity. The university offers more than 280 majors to a diverse enrollment of more than 36,000 undergraduate, graduate, and professional students in eight undergraduate colleges, a school of medicine, a veterinary medicine college, Graduate School, and Honors College. The university has a significant presence across Virginia, including Blacksburg, the greater Washington, D.C. area, the Health Sciences and Technology Campus in Roanoke, sites in Newport News and Richmond, and numerous Extension offices and research institutes. A leading global research institution, Virginia Tech conducts more than $650 million in research annually.

      That preserves the Virginia Tech description but trimmed some repetitive sentences? We must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot summarize away detail. The original Virginia Tech paragraph includes many details: motto, mission, land-grant, inclusive community, offers >280 majors, enrollment >36k, eight colleges, school of medicine, vet med, Graduate School, Honors College, presence across Virginia locations, research >$650M, endorses professional development and shared governance, non-discrimination statement, accommodation request. We removed some parts: the non-discrimination statement and accommodation request (considered boilerplate). Also removed the part about professional development and shared governance (maybe considered boilerplate? It's not exactly legal but could be considered generic. However it's substantive about employee opportunities. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The professional development and shared governance is not EEO; it's about employee contributions. Might be considered substantive. But we need to decide. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that unless it's considered boilerplate. The professional development and shared governance paragraph: "Virginia Tech endorses and encourages participation in professional development opportunities and university shared governance. These valuable contributions to university shared governance provide important representation and perspective, along with opportunities for unique and impactful professional development." That seems like substantive info about the workplace. It's not boilerplate legal; it's about benefits/culture. So we should keep it. Also the non-discrimination
