Fox Corporation · Chicago, IL · 1 mo ago
Sales$102k–$135k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes Overview of the Company, Job Description, Responsibilities (A SNAPSHOT OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITES), Experience (WHAT YOU WILL NEED) broken into subcategories: Client-Facing And Sales Support Skills, Measurement Expertise, Core Capabilities, NICE TO HAVE. Also there is pay range and benefits mentioned. Also schedule? Not mentioned. So we should include sections: About the role? Not present; we have Overview of the Company maybe as "About the company". But instructions: use headings for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should map content accordingly. We have Overview of the Company: could be placed under "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is for role description; but we have company overview separate. Could treat as "About the role" maybe not. Better to include "About the company" but not in list. However instructions: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not exclusive. So we can use those headings if appropriate. We have responsibilities, requirements (experience), qualifications (maybe core capabilities), skills (client-facing, measurement expertise), benefits, pay. Also we have "Nice to have" could be under Qualifications or Skills? Could be under Qualifications as additional. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must preserve all substantive information. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove "We are an equal opportunity employer..." and the criminal history line, and pay disclosure line? Actually pay disclosure line includes pay range; we need to keep pay range. The line "Pursuant to state and local pay disclosure requirements, the pay rate/range for this role, with final offer amount dependent on education, skills, experience, and location is $102,000.00-135,000.00 annually." That's substantive; we keep pay range. Also benefits line: "This role is also eligible for an annual discretionary bonus, various benefits, including medical/dental/vision, insurance, a 401(k) plan, paid time off, and other benefits in accordance with applicable plan documents. Benefits for Union represented employees will be in accordance with the applicable collective bargaining agreement." Keep that. We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. There's no explicit application instructions. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:

About the Company

maybe not in list but okay. But instructions say use those headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities... Could we use About the Company? Might be okay but safer to use About the role for role description (Job Description). The Overview of the Company could be placed under About the role? Actually About the role is for role description; but we have Job Description separate. Could treat Overview of the Company as "About the company" but not required. However we must preserve all substantive information; we can include it as a

under a heading like "About the Company". The instruction didn't forbid other headings, just gave examples. So we can add. But we need to avoid filler headings. We'll include sections where we have content. Let's extract content: Overview of the Company: paragraph about Fox Corporation. Job Description: paragraph about role. Responsibilities: list under "A SNAPSHOT OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITES". It has several bullet-like paragraphs each starting with a bold heading. We need to convert to

  • . Each bullet includes multiple sentences; we can keep as
  • containing the text. Experience: "WHAT YOU WILL NEED" with sub-sections: Analytical experience..., Proven track record..., Meaningful experience..., Hands-on background... Then after that there are headings: Client-Facing And Sales Support Skills, Measurement Expertise, Core Capabilities, NICE TO HAVE. Those are sub-sections under Experience. We need to decide how to map to headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Could treat "WHAT YOU WILL NEED" as Requirements (or Qualifications). Then the sub-sections as Skills. Simplify: Use

    Requirements

    for the bullet list of experience needed (Analytical experience..., Proven track record..., Meaningful experience..., Hands-on background...). Then

    Skills

    for the sub-sections: Client-Facing And Sales Support Skills, Measurement Expertise, Core Capabilities, NICE TO HAVE. But NICE TO HAVE is not a skill but nice-to-have qualifications; could be under Qualifications as additional. Alternatively we could have Requirements (mandatory) and Qualifications (nice-to-have). But instructions: we can use any heading; we just need to avoid filler. Let's produce:
