Assistant Director, Texan Outfitters
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the job posting.
Job Title: Assistant Director, Texan Outfitters Agency Tarleton State University Department Auxiliary Services (but we don't repeat job title as heading). We need to include any substantive info: location, job type, description, responsibilities, minimum qualifications, preferred experience, knowledge/skills/abilities, compensation & benefits (salary range, benefits), schedule (standard work hours, evening/weekend etc). Also maybe "About the role" could be the initial description paragraph(s). The posting includes a description after job title: "Tarleton State University, a distinguished Doctoral National Comprehensive University, invites applications for the position of Assistant Director of Texan Outfitters in the Department of Campus Operations...." That's about the role.
We need to remove boilerplate: immigration info, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
Let's extract sections:
- About the role: The paragraph(s) describing the university, mission, location, Stephenville description, etc. Also maybe the sentence about "The Assistant Director of Texan Outfitters provides strategic and operational leadership..." That's more responsibilities but could be part of role description. We'll treat as About the role.
- Responsibilities: The list under "Responsibilities" heading (the bullet list). We'll output as - items.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (Required Education and Experience). Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. We'll have a Requirements section for minimum qualifications.
- Qualifications: Preferred Experience (maybe under Qualifications). Could combine but we can separate: Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). Or we could have a single Qualifications section with both required and preferred. The instruction: use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). Also Skills: Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities.
- Benefits: The paragraph about benefits package.
- Pay: Salary range specifics.
- Schedule: Standard work hours and evening/weekend etc.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" as heading; but we have actual salary range, so Pay section is valid.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We must output only HTML fragment.

But we might split: The first paragraph is about the role; second paragraph could be considered responsibilities but we already have a Responsibilities section with bullet list. However the second paragraph also describes responsibilities in prose. Might be okay to keep in About the role. But to avoid duplication, we could keep only the first paragraph as About the role, and treat the second paragraph as part of Responsibilities (but we already have bullet list). However the bullet list under Responsibilities is more detailed. The prose paragraph also includes some responsibilities not in bullet list (e.g., serves as CSA). We could incorporate that into Responsibilities as an extra bullet. But we must preserve all substantive info; we can keep the prose paragraph as part of About the role or Responsibilities. Since we have a Responsibilities section with bullet list, we could add a before the list summarizing. But instructions: Use
for prose. So we can have a
describing the role, then
for responsibilities.
