We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present with real content. Remove boilerplate. Keep substantive info: Organizational Summary, Position Summary, Nature of Work, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Special Working Conditions, maybe About USF (but that's generic). The instructions: include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay/Schedule/Benefits not present, so omit.
We need to use for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). But we can use other headings if they match content? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). But we can use other headings if they match content? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use h3 for those standard headings, but we can also use h3 for other headings like Organizational Summary, Position Summary, Nature of Work, Special Working Conditions, About USF? Probably yes, as they are section headings. Use for each section heading.
Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
We need to drop duplicated lines: there is repeated "About USF" paragraphs (two similar). We'll keep one concise version? But must preserve ALL substantive information; we can combine duplicates but not lose info. The two About USF paragraphs have slightly different numbers (research funding 750 million 2025 vs 738 million 2024, economic impact $10B vs $6B). Both are substantive; we should keep both? They are duplicated but with different numbers; they are not exact duplicates. We'll keep both as separate paragraphs maybe.
We need to remove compliance and federal notices, EEO statements, etc.
We need to remove "Special Working Conditions" maybe keep as section.
We need to format Responsibilities as list.
Qualifications: we have paragraph with degree requirements and Senate Bill 1310 details. That's substantive; we should keep as prose or list? It's not a list but we can keep as
. Could also break into
for each bullet but not required.
We need to ensure we don't include headings with empty content.
Let's extract sections:
- Organizational Summary (first paragraph after "Job Description Organizational Summary:").
- Position Summary (after "Position Summary:").
- Nature of Work (after "Nature of Work:").
- Responsibilities (list after "Responsibilities").
- Qualifications (after "Qualifications").
- Special Working Conditions (after "Special Working Conditions:").
- About USF (maybe two paragraphs). Could be considered "About USF" section.
We should not include "Compliance and Federal Notices", "Equal Employment Opportunity", etc.
We need to remove duplicated lines like "The University of South Florida is a top-ranked research university..." appears twice with slight variations. We'll keep both as separate paragraphs under About USF.

Organizational Summary text:
"The College of Arts and Sciences at the University of South Florida is a diverse, research active community of scholars, teachers, creators, and learners who believe that ideas should live both in the classroom and in the world. We bring together the sciences, social sciences, and humanities to tackle real problems through learning that involves doing, including fieldwork on Florida’s coast, work in laboratories, data-focused projects, and storytelling across digital and traditional media. Our faculty are nationally recognized researchers and dedicated mentors who open doors to significant opportunities such as undergraduate research, internships, fellowships, and global experiences. We are especially proud of our vibrant humanities and social sciences, where students connect big questions to real careers through funded experiential learning and projects that engage the community. Rooted in Tampa Bay and connected to global conversations, we see our campus as a living laboratory for studying the environment, society, culture, and technology, and we invite colleagues who share this spirit of curiosity, collaboration, and innovation focused on students to join us."
Position Summary:
"The USF College of Arts & Sciences (CAS) Conference & Events Planner plans, coordinates, and executes conferences, meetings, workshops, and other events that support the College's academic, strategic, and engagement priorities. Serving as a primary point of contact for assigned events, the position collaborates with faculty, staff, students, university partners, external stakeholders, and vendors to coordinate event logistics, communications, promotional materials, and other event-related requirements."
Nature of Work:
"This position reports to the Events Manager, an Associate or Assistant Director, or other appropriate administrator and is responsible for the planning and coordination of assigned events and event-related projects within CAS.

This position must possess strong organizational, interpersonal and communication skills; knowledge of event planning principles, requirements, procedures and available resources; knowledge of cost analysis techniques; knowledge of conference facilities, technology and equipment; and the ability to manage multiple, concurrent assigned events while delivering high-quality event support."
Responsibilities list: need to extract each bullet after "Responsibilities". The text after "Responsibilities" is a long sentence with multiple clauses separated by periods? Let's parse:
"Plan, coordinate, and execute assigned conferences, meetings, workshops, and other events in collaboration with members of the college, school, department, center and/or external community as appropriate.Plan, schedule, and monitor promotional and logistical activities for CAS events, including arrangements for registration, meeting facilities, meals, lodging, audiovisual equipment and operators, transportation and tours.Consult with event clients and evaluate program and event histories, budgets, contracts, intended format and audience(s) to determine and recommend venue, catering, AV equipment, university or vendor services, promotion, registration, attendee communications, and on-site management requirements, as applicable.Participate in creative/event format ideation Develop and distribute event promotional materials and collateral, including invitations, flyers, announcements, and other communications, for assigned events where promotional responsibilities are included in the service model.

We need to split into separate list items at each sentence. There are some missing spaces after periods; we can still separate.
Let's list:
1. Plan, coordinate, and execute assigned conferences, meetings, workshops, and other events in collaboration with members of the college, school, department, center and/or external community as appropriate.
2. Plan, schedule, and monitor promotional and logistical activities for CAS events, including arrangements for registration, meeting facilities, meals, lodging, audiovisual equipment and operators, transportation and tours.

9. Provide event planning guidance, resources, and recommendations to college departments, programs, centers, and other stakeholders for events that fall outside the team's full planning and management services.
