We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections that have real content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Must preserve substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- Position Summary (the first paragraph(s) describing role). Could be "About the role" or "Position Summary". The instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map content to these headings.
We have:
Position Summary: description of role, responsibilities, etc.
Essential Duties And Responsibilities: list of duties.
Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: list of qualifications/skills.
Qualifications: more specifics (abilities). Might be overlapping with Knowledge, Skills And Abilities. Could combine into Requirements/Qualifications.
Also we have Title, Location, Full time/Part Time, Position Grade & Compensation: salary range.
Reports To: Sr. Manager, Community Engagement.
Who We Are: description of organization.
Benefits: description of benefits package.
Also mention travel requirements, driver's license, etc.
We need to include sections only if real content.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, scam warning, etc. So we should cut out the equal employment opportunity paragraph, the background check details, etc.
We must preserve all substantive info: position summary, duties, knowledge/skills/abilities, qualifications, location, employment type, grade, salary range, reports to, who we are (maybe optional but it's substantive), benefits.
We should not include duplicated lines.
We need to format using
for each section heading, then content: either
for prose,
- for lists.
We need to decide which headings to use.
Possible sections:
- About the role (or Position Summary) -> h3 About the role
- Responsibilities -> h3 Responsibilities
- Requirements / Qualifications -> maybe h3 Qualifications (or Requirements). We have both Knowledge, Skills And Abilities and Qualifications. Could combine into Requirements.
- Benefits -> h3 Benefits
- Pay -> h3 Pay (salary range)
- Schedule -> maybe not needed unless schedule info given (full time/part time). Could include Schedule: Full time.
- Location maybe not a heading; could be included in About the role paragraph.
We need to avoid empty sections.
Let's extract content.
Position Summary paragraph(s):
"As Community Engagement Specialist, you join an exclusive team of leaders responsible for the implementation of the Alzheimer’s Association Portfolio of Community Program Offerings. The Portfolio brings awareness, education and support to all communities in the United States and activates a grassroots network of individuals and community leaders to work toward a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.

Who We Are: description of Alzheimer's Association mission, etc. Might be considered substantive but could be considered boilerplate? It's about the organization, not the job. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep it, but maybe we can put under "About the Organization" but not a prescribed heading. However headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No "About the organization". Could we incorporate into About the role? Might be okay to add a separate section like "About the Alzheimer's Association" but not in list; but instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., meaning those are examples, not exclusive? It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect us to use those headings only. So we should not create other headings. So we need to fit the "Who We Are" content into one of those headings, maybe under About the role? But About the role is about the role, not organization. Could we put it under Responsibilities? No. Could we put under Requirements? Not appropriate. Could we put under Benefits? Not appropriate. Could we put under Pay? No. Could we put under Schedule? No. Maybe we can omit the "Who We Are" paragraph because it's considered boilerplate? However it's substantive about the organization. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep it. But we must use headings from the list; maybe we can add a heading "About the role" and include both role summary and organization description there. That might be acceptable. Alternatively, we could create a heading "About the role" for the position summary, and then another heading "About the Alzheimer's Association" but that's not in the list; risk of being considered not following instruction. Safer to stick to the given headings. Thus we will have sections: - About the role (includes Position Summary + maybe Who We Are? but we can keep Who Are as a separate paragraph under same heading? Might be okay.) - Responsibilities (list of duties) - Qualifications (combines Knowledge, Skills And Abilities and Qualifications list) - Benefits (benefits description) - Pay (salary range) - Schedule (full time/part time) We also need to include location and reports to maybe within About the role or as a short p. We must not include Job ID etc. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. So we will cut out the equal employment opportunity paragraph, the background check details, the "Qualified Applicants with arrest or Conviction records..." etc. Also the "Please click HERE for more information." etc. We must keep the benefits description: "Employees working 24 hours/week or more are eligible for a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, flex accounts, short and long-term disability, life insurance, long term care insurance, tuition reimbursement, generous Paid Time Off, 12 annual holidays and Paid Family Leave, as well as an annual Cultural & Heritage Day and Volunteer Day of their choosing. They are also eligible for our gold standard 401(k) retirement plan. Please click HERE for more information. Full time employees (37.5 hours/week), will enjoy all of the above plus an annual School Visitation Day and an Elder Care Facility Day of their choosing." We should remove the "Please click HERE for more information." as it's application instruction? It's a link; maybe considered boilerplate. We can drop that sentence. Also remove the "Read on to learn more about the role, then visit our website www.alz.org/jobs to explore who we are and why we've been recognized as a Best Place to Work for the last twelve years in a row." That's application instruction/boilerplate. Also remove the "At the Alzheimer's Association®, we believe that diverse perspectives are critical to achieving health equity..." That's EEO statement; remove. Also remove the "The Association provides equal employment opportunities..." etc. Also remove the background check details. Also remove the "Qualified Applicants with arrest or Conviction records will be considered for Employment..." etc. Now let's craft HTML. We'll start with
About the role
