Communications Specialist II – Video Visualization
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide what goes into lists.
Responsibilities: list items.
Skills: list items.
Benefits: maybe list? It's prose but could be list? The description is multiple sentences; we can put in
.
Requirements: maybe a
with two sentences.
Qualifications: maybe not needed if we used Requirements for education/experience and Skills for skills. But we have Qualifications heading; we could put education/experience there. However we already used Requirements for that. Could shift: Requirements = maybe nothing? But we need to follow instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we can decide which sections to include based on content.
We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education/experience), Skills, Benefits, Pay.
We don't have content for Qualifications (maybe we could treat education/experience as Qualifications). But we already used Requirements for that; we could rename Requirements to Qualifications? But headings are prescribed; we must use those exact headings. So we need to map content to those headings.
Thus:
- About the role: intro.
- Responsibilities: list.
- Requirements: maybe the experience/education? Or we could put under Requirements the "Work requires broad knowledge..." etc.
- Qualifications: maybe we could put the "Ideal candidate should have the ability to blend original video content..." but that's more about role. Actually that is in intro. Could put under Qualifications the "Ideal candidate should have the ability to blend original video content with creative 3D elements..." but that's more like a qualification. However we already used that in About the role. Might duplicate.
Better: Use Requirements for education/experience. Use Qualifications for the "Ideal candidate should have the ability to blend original video content with creative 3D elements..." and maybe also the "Ability to work independently and in a team environment" etc? But those are under Skills.
Let's parse the posting again for distinct sections:
Intro paragraph (about role, organization, role description).
Then "Applicants wishing to be considered for this position should apply online..." (application instruction) -> remove.
Then "Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to, the following:" list.
Then "Required Skills:" list.
Then "Required Experience:" bullet (education + experience).
Then "Starting Salary Range Minimum of $57,065.00 - $68,478.00 annually"
Then paragraph about NCTCOG purpose, benefits, etc.
Thus we have:
- About the role: intro paragraph (including organization description and role description).
- Responsibilities: list.
- Skills: list (Required Skills).
- Qualifications: maybe Required Experience (education + experience). Could also include "Ideal candidate should have the ability to blend original video content..." but that's more like a qualification; but it's in intro. We'll keep it in About the role.
- Pay: salary range.
- Benefits: paragraph about generous benefits, friendly atmosphere, military-friendly, etc.
- Schedule: none.
Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Skills, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits.
We must not include Requirements if we don't have content distinct; but we have Required Experience which could go under Qualifications. So we can omit Requirements heading.
Check instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It's examples, not mandatory to use all. So we can choose.
Thus final HTML:
