Associate Director, Admission
or drop it. Probably include a short
with location, job type, posted date? 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
with location, job type, posted date. Not as heading. We need sections: About the role (maybe from first paragraph of job description). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (maybe job requirements). Qualifications (maybe preferred qualifications). Skills (maybe from requirements like interpersonal skills, time management, Microsoft Office, driver's license, travel ability). Benefits, Pay, Schedule: only include if posting actually states them. The posting does not mention benefits, pay, schedule explicitly. It mentions ability to work some nights, weekends, holidays (that's schedule info). Could we treat that as Schedule? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state ability to work some nights, weekends, and holidays - that is schedule info. So we could include a Schedule section with that detail. Benefits and Pay not mentioned, so omit. We need to use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from description, requirements, preferred qualifications, additional functions, etc.
Let's parse the posting:
Job Description paragraph: "The Associate Director of Admission performs a wide variety of admission and recruitment duties in support of the Undergraduate Admission Department and the University's strategic admission goals and objectives, including recruitment travel, high-level data collection and analysis, and development of strategic recruitment planning."
Then sub-sections:

- At the University's discretion, the education and experience prerequisites may be accepted where the candidate can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the University, an equivalent combination of education and experience specifically preparing the candidate for success in the position.
Additional Information: EEO etc - we remove.
We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe the first paragraph). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (job requirements). Qualifications (preferred qualifications). Skills (maybe combine some of the requirements like interpersonal skills, time management, Microsoft Office, driver's license, travel ability). But we must not duplicate content. The instruction: "Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose." So we can have sections with lists.
We need to avoid thin sections; prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Responsibilities and Additional Functions into one Responsibilities section. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one Requirements section? But they are distinct: Requirements (mandatory) and Preferred Qualifications (preferred). Could have two sections: Requirements and Preferred Qualifications. Or combine into Qualifications? The headings list includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. So we can use Requirements for mandatory, Qualifications for preferred, Skills for skill-based items (like interpersonal, time management, MS Office, driver's license, travel). But we must not invent sections if content is thin. Let's see.
We have mandatory requirements: Bachelor's degree, 3 years experience, interpersonal skills, time management, MS Office, driver's license, travel 30-40%, ability to work nights/weekends/holidays.
Preferred qualifications: Master's degree, prior lead admission role, ERP system experience, equivalent combo.
Skills: Could be interpersonal skills, customer service orientation, time management, ability to prioritize, shifting skills, fast paced environment, MS Office, driver's license, travel ability, ability to work nights/weekends/holidays. Some overlap with requirements.
We could make a Skills section that lists those skill items, and Requirements section for education/experience, and Qualifications for preferred. That seems reasonable.
We must not repeat content; but some items appear in both Requirements and Skills (like interpersonal skills). To avoid duplication, we could assign each piece to only one section. Let's decide:
- About the role: prose paragraph from first paragraph.
- Responsibilities: all bullet points from Territory Analysis & Planning, Student Recruitment, Student Admission, University Relations Liaison, Managerial Responsibilities, Committee Participation and Leadership, Additional Functions. That's a lot; we can combine into one
list.
- Requirements (mandatory): Bachelor's degree, Minimum of three years of progressive admission and/or higher education experience. (These are education/experience). Could also include valid driver's license? That's more of a requirement but could be skill. We'll decide.
- Qualifications (preferred): Master's degree, Prior experience in a lead admission role, University Enterprise Resource Planning System experience, equivalent combo statement.
- Skills: Strong interpersonal skills and customer service orientation, Excellent time management skills, ability to prioritize multiple projects, meet deadlines and adept at shifting skills to accommodate changing priorities with ability to work in a fast paced environment, Intermediate knowledge of Microsoft Office Suite, Ability to travel 30-40% of the time, Ability to work some nights, weekends, and holidays.
We also have location, job type, posted on. We'll put in a short after the heading? Actually no heading for metadata. We'll just put a
with location, job type, posted date.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, Title IX, etc.
