Assistant Director STAR Team - Enrollment Management - UTK
for section 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. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, cookie/nav/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes repeated intro paragraph twice; we should keep only once. Also remove "Apply today and join the Tennessee Volunteer community!" (application instruction). Also remove "Apply today..." etc. Also remove "Apply today and join...". Also remove "Apply today...". Also remove any EEO etc none present.
We need to extract sections:
- About the role: maybe a paragraph describing the position purpose. The posting starts: "The Office of Visitor Center in Enrollment Management at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) invites applications and nominations for our Assistant Director- STAR Team position. We are seeking candidates who can contribute in meaningful ways to enhance the accessibility of higher education, fostering a diverse and inclusive academic environment, and improving the recruitment and graduation of our students." That's about role. Also later mention ranking etc. Could include mission statements. We'll keep a concise paragraph summarizing.
- Responsibilities: list of duties: many bullet-like paragraphs under headings like Leadership & Program Management, Access Initiatives & Strategic Partnerships, Recruitment Programs & Student Engagement, Community Outreach & Signature Initiatives, Assessment, Reporting & University Service. We need to turn those into - items. Probably combine all responsibilities into one list.
- Requirements: Required Education And Experience, Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities. Also maybe "Applicants must be legally authorized to work..." that's a requirement.
- Qualifications: Preferred Education And Experience, Preferred Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities.
- Skills: maybe separate? But we already have skills in requirements and qualifications. The instruction says use headings for Skills if present. Could combine skills under Requirements and Qualifications? Might be redundant. Better to have Requirements (education/experience) and Qualifications (preferred) and Skills maybe separate list of skills? But we have many skill statements in both required and preferred. Could put Skills section consolidating skill statements. However we must not create thin sections; better to have a few substantive sections. Perhaps combine Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities into Requirements, and Preferred into Qualifications. Skills could be omitted if covered. But we need to follow instruction: Use headings for Skills if present. We could still include Skills heading with list of skill statements (maybe from both required and preferred). But that would duplicate. Better to follow typical pattern: Requirements (education/experience), Qualifications (preferred), Skills (skill statements). However we have skill statements in both required and preferred; we could split: Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities -> Requirements; Preferred Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities -> Qualifications. Then Skills heading maybe not needed. But we could still include Skills heading with maybe no content? Not allowed. So we omit Skills heading if no distinct skill-only content.
Pay: we have minimum starting salary $60,000. So we need Pay section with that info.
Schedule: mention "This is an on-campus position with some hybrid/remote work schedule flexibility." Also earlier "Flexible work arrangements, offering a hybrid schedule to most team members" under Benefits. So schedule info exists: hybrid/remote flexibility. We'll create Schedule section.
Benefits: we have a Benefits paragraph with list. We'll create Benefits section with
- .
Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, has been ranked by Forbes as one of America’s best large employers, as recognized on the 2026 list." That's substantive? It's about employer reputation; could be part of About the role or maybe not needed. It's not essential to job but it's substantive info about employer. We can keep in About the role.
Also "The university holds the highest Carnegie classification..." etc. Might be considered boilerplate but it's about university; could be part of About the role.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep all details, not summarizing. That means we need to keep each piece of info, not condense. However we can combine into paragraphs but must not lose detail. That's tricky: we need to keep all specifics like numbers, program names, etc. We can embed them in prose or list items.
We must not create placeholder sections. So we need to decide which headings to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also "Division" info? That could be part of About the role or Responsibilities? It's describing the division; could be part of About the role.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Already not.
We must not include Job ID etc none.
We must not include application instructions like "Apply today...". Remove.
We must not include duplicated lines: the intro appears twice; we keep one.
