We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes Overview (salary range), mission, etc. We need to parse content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate. Keep substantive info. We need sections: maybe "About the role" (overview of role, mission, purpose). "Responsibilities" (list of duties). "Qualifications" (knowledge & abilities). "Skills" maybe from qualifications? The posting includes "Knowledge & Abilities" and "Skill in designing...". Could treat as Qualifications and Skills separate? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include only those with real content. We have salary range -> Pay section. No schedule mentioned. Benefits not mentioned. Requirements maybe not explicit; we have Qualifications. Could treat "Qualifications" as heading and include knowledge & abilities. Skills maybe separate but we could combine? Better to have Qualifications and Skills separate if content exists. The posting includes "Knowledge & Abilities" and "Skill in designing...". Could split: Qualifications: knowledge of small business development etc. Skills: skill in designing..., skill in providing individualized business advising... We also have "Overview" includes mission etc. That could be About the role. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

for headings. Use
  • for lists. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details from overview: salary range, mission of SDSURF, establishment year, vision, core values, function of the unit (Career Services), purpose of the position, etc. That's a lot. We need to include all that in About the role section perhaps as paragraphs. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present. We need to ensure we don't miss any details. Let's extract sections: Overview paragraph: "The salary range for this position is $6,833.33 - $7,500.00 per month depending upon qualifications and is non-negotiable." Then mission etc: "Established in 1943, the mission of the SDSU Research Foundation (SDSURF) is to support the research objectives of San Diego State University by helping faculty and staff find, obtain, and administer funding for their research and sponsored programs. SDSU achieved its strategic plan goal of becoming an R1, premier public research university in early 2025, furthering discoveries, interventions, and solutions that improve communities and change the world. SDSURF provides the full life cycle of grant services to faculty and staff to further their important work. Our vision is to foster a culture of creativity and collaboration with integrity and respect for individuals that results in the delivery of superior service to support the university’s strategic aspirations. Our Core Values Service: We are a service organization that strives to provide superior support to the university community to achieve SDSU’s goals; we are committed to being professionally competent by setting high standards and working hard to achieve results; and we continually seek to improve our skills and capabilities by valuing education and professional development. Collaboration: We seek to actively engage with our stakeholders and employees to identify issues and design solutions, build strong relationships grounded in trust, openness, and inclusion, and achieve the best results by taking pride in the accomplishments of our colleagues. Innovation: We work towards inspired solutions to improve and adapt to emerging opportunities and challenges, creative ways to streamline and enhance our delivery of services through resourceful and proactive problem solving and strategic use of technology and reduction of obstacles. Respect: We promote a culture where every individual is valued and treated with dignity; we honor open-mindedness toward different viewpoints and ideas and have a genuine appreciation for varied backgrounds, experiences, and ways of thinking. Integrity: We are committed to act with the highest ethical standards, with honesty, integrity, and transparency, provide consistent and accurate information and value and respect all individuals." Then "FUNCTION OF THE UNIT" paragraph about Career Services. Then "PURPOSE OF THE POSITION" paragraph. Then "Responsibilities" with SPECIFIC DUTIES and sub-bullets with percentages. Then "Qualifications Knowledge & Abilities" paragraph (incomplete at end). It ends abruptly: "Skill in providing individualized business advising and translating client needs into actionab". Likely truncated but we must preserve as is. We need to output only substantive info; we must not invent. We'll include the truncated sentence as is. Now decide sections: - About the role: could include overview (salary range), mission, vision, core values, function of unit, purpose of position. That's a lot but okay. - Responsibilities: list of duties with percentages. - Qualifications: knowledge & abilities. - Skills: skill in designing..., skill in providing individualized business advising... We could also include Requirements but not present. Pay: salary range. Schedule: none. Benefits: none. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Pay. We must not include empty sections. Now format. We need to use

    for each heading. Inside About the role, we can have multiple

    paragraphs. We need to preserve all substantive info; we should not omit any details. Let's craft About the role content: Paragraph 1: Salary range info. Paragraph 2: Established in 1943, mission of SDSURF... etc. Paragraph 3: SDSU achieved its strategic plan goal... etc. Paragraph 4: SDSURF provides the full life cycle... etc. Paragraph 5: Our vision is to foster a culture... etc. Paragraph 6: Our Core Values Service: ... Collaboration: ... Innovation: ... Respect: ... Integrity: ... Paragraph 7: FUNCTION OF THE UNIT: San Diego State University Career Services is an award-winning... etc. Paragraph 8: PURPOSE OF THE POSITION: The Associate Director, Small Business & Corporate Education provides strategic... etc. We need to keep the exact wording? Not required to be exact but preserve all substantive information; we can paraphrase? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Paraphrasing could be considered summarizing away detail if we lose specifics. Safer to keep original sentences, maybe split into paragraphs. We'll copy the text blocks as is, but ensure we don't lose any. Let's extract exact strings: Overview: "The salary range for this position is $6,833.33 - $7,500.00 per month depending upon qualifications and is non-negotiable." Mission block: "Established in 1943, the mission of the SDSU Research Foundation (SDSURF) is to support the research objectives of San Diego State University by helping faculty and staff find, obtain, and administer funding for their research and sponsored programs.

Now Responsibilities: We have SPECIFIC DUTIES with percentages and sub-bullets. We need to preserve all details. We'll create a

      with each duty as
    • containing the percentage and description. Inside each
    • we may need to include sub-bullets? The spec says use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid nested lists, but we can keep as plain text with sub-bullets as separate sentences. We'll produce something like:
