Career Development Specialist

We need to output only HTML fragment, no html/body tags, no markdown fences. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the job posting. Key info: - Job Type: Full-time (but we don't repeat job title as heading; we can include maybe in a short paragraph? The instruction: do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include a short

with maybe "Full-time" or "Hybrid schedule". But we need to preserve all substantive information. The job type is full-time, location hybrid, etc. - Description: includes mission, etc. Probably we can put an "About the role" section with description of organization and role summary. - Responsibilities: essential functions list. - Requirements: driver's license, auto insurance, etc. Also education & experience. - Qualifications: maybe "Preferred Qualifications" etc. - Skills: maybe list of abilities. - Benefits: "What We Offer" section includes many benefits. - Pay: Salary description: Starting at $48,600 per year based on experience. - Schedule: Hybrid schedule, mostly stable, etc. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Pay section: we have actual salary figure, so include. Schedule: we have hybrid schedule description; we can include. Benefits: we have many specifics; include. We must not include application instructions, EEO boilerplate, etc. We must not include duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment: likely a series of

headings followed by

or

• . We must not include or . Let's craft. First, maybe a short intro paragraph with job type and location? Could be placed under About the role? Or separate? The instruction: Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have those headings only if content exists. We need About the role: include organization mission, program summary, position summary. Responsibilities: essential functions list. Requirements: driver's license, auto insurance, maybe also education? Actually education is under Requirements? The posting has "Requirements" then "Education & Experience Minimum Job Specific Qualifications". So we can put education & experience under Requirements or Qualifications? Usually Requirements includes education & experience. Qualifications includes preferred qualifications. Skills includes abilities. We'll decide: - About the role: organization description, program summary, position summary. - Responsibilities: essential functions (list). - Requirements: driver's license, auto insurance, education (Bachelor's degree required), experience (1-2 years), maybe also "Experience in career coaching, employment services or workforce development, ideally working with immigrants or internationally trained professionals", "Strong understanding of local job market trends, hiring processes, and credential recognition pathways". Those could be under Requirements or Qualifications. We'll put them under Requirements. - Qualifications: preferred qualifications list (abilities to function in demanding environment, flexibility, etc.) - Skills: maybe list of specific skills like report writing, editing, research, data experience, analytical, decision-making, dealing with distressed clients, fast-paced environment, confidentiality, multi-background interpersonal communication, ability to communicate verbally/writing/phone, ability to listen, punctuality, attendance, flexible hours, basic office equipment, knowledge of local job market, placement counseling, concerns of employers. Those are many; we can put under Skills. - Benefits: What We Offer list. - Pay: Salary description. - Schedule: Hybrid schedule description (mostly stable, etc.) We must not include fluff like "commensurate with experience". Pay we have actual number. Now we need to remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, application instructions, "How To Apply", "Required Engagement", etc. Also remove duplicated lines like "Full-Time with Benefits" repeated. Now craft HTML. We'll start with a

  maybe for job type and location? But we could embed that in About the role or Schedule. 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 short

  for job type and location before sections. Let's do:

  Full-time, Hybrid schedule at IRCO Main Office, 10301 NE Glisan St, Portland, OR 97220.

  Then sections. Now produce HTML. Make sure to use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. We'll need to decide what constitutes a list. Responsibilities: essential functions are many sentences; we can make each as
  • . Requirements: maybe list items: Bachelor's degree required; 1-2 years experience; Experience in career coaching...; Strong understanding of local job market trends...; Must possess a valid driver’s license and verification of current auto-insurance and have full use of an automobile during work hours. Qualifications: list of preferred qualifications (many bullet-like sentences). We'll make
    • . Skills: list of abilities (maybe also
      • ). Benefits: list from What We Offer: many items; we can make
        • . Pay: just a

          . Schedule: just a

          . Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "EEO", "Equal Opportunity", "scam-warning", etc. Let's extract the relevant text. About the role: - Organization description: "The Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization (IRCO) is a non-profit organization established in 1976 to serve immigrants, refugees, and the broader community in Portland, Oregon. Our mission is to welcome, serve and empower refugees, immigrants and people across cultures and generations to reach their full potential.

But they are secondary; we could include them under Responsibilities as well, but maybe we can treat them as part of Responsibilities too. However we might want to keep only essential functions; but we should preserve all substantive info. Secondary Functions also substantive.
