We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, navigation, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions. We need to parse the posting. Company Description: includes description of Harvard, FAS, etc. That's about the role? Actually "Company Description" is about Harvard and FAS. Could be "About the role" or "About the organization". The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use "About the role" for company description? Might be better to use "About the role" for job summary? But we have Job Summary and Job-Specific Responsibilities. The "Job Description" includes Job Summary and Job-Specific Responsibilities. So we could have sections: About the role (maybe combine Company Description and Job Summary?), Responsibilities (list of duties), Qualifications (basic and additional), Skills (maybe part of qualifications), Benefits (explicit), Pay (salary grade), Schedule (Standard Hours/Schedule). Also maybe Working Conditions? Not required heading but could be part of Schedule? The instruction says include a section only when posting has real specific content. So we need to decide. Let's extract content: Company Description: paragraphs about Harvard, FAS. That's about the organization, not role. Could be "About the role"? Might be better to have "About the role" as job summary. But we have Job Summary separate. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. So we can create sections: - About the role: could combine Company Description and Job Summary? But maybe better to have "About the role" as the job summary (Provides a wide range of administrative support...). The Company Description is more about Harvard; maybe we can include it under "About the role" as context. However 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." It doesn't forbid including company description. So we can have an "About the role" section that includes the company description and job summary. But we also have "Job-Specific Responsibilities" which is a list of duties. That's responsibilities. Qualifications: Basic Qualifications and Additional Qualifications and Skills. Skills: Could be part of qualifications; but we could separate Skills if there is explicit list: Strong organizational and communication skills, Ability to manage frequent interruptions, juggle multiple tasks, manage shifting priorities, Must be comfortable assisting a variety of people, Ability to handle confidential information discreetly and interact with people from diverse cultures in a respectful manner, Knowledge of Microsoft Office applications and familiarity with both PC and Mac platforms, Knowledge of Harvard financial processes and systems helpful but not required, Background or interest in Middle Eastern Studies advantageous. We could put those under Skills. Benefits: explicit list. Pay: Salary Grade and Ranges: "This position is salary grade level 054. Please visit Harvard's Salary Ranges to view the corresponding salary range and related information." That's specific enough to include Pay section. Schedule: Standard Hours/Schedule: "28 hours per week". Also Working Conditions: "Work is performed in-person, in an office setting on the Harvard University campus in Cambridge, MA. The typical weekly schedule is Monday - Thursday, 9AM to 5PM (or by arrangement). Occasional overtime may be required to assist at special events." That's schedule info. Thus we can have Schedule section with that. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include EEO etc. We must not include navigation/legal etc. We must not include application instructions. We must not include duplicated lines. We must preserve all substantive information. Now produce HTML fragment: use

for each section heading, then content:

for prose,

  • for lists. We need to decide which content goes into which section. Let's outline: Section: About the role - Combine Company Description and Job Summary? Could also include "Job Summary: Provides a wide range of administrative support..." plus the company description paragraphs. We'll put:

    By working at Harvard University, you join a vibrant community that advances Harvard's world-changing mission in meaningful ways, inspires innovation and collaboration, and builds skills and expertise. We are dedicated to creating a diverse and welcoming environment where everyone can thrive.

    The Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) is the historic heart of Harvard University. It is the home of Harvard’s undergraduate program (Harvard College, founded in 1636) as well as all of Harvard’s Ph.D. programs (the Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, founded in 1872), Harvard Athletics and the Division of Continuing Education. The 40 academic departments and 30+ centers of the FAS support a community unparalleled in its academic excellence across the broadest range of liberal arts and sciences disciplines. Together, the FAS seeks to foster an environment of ambition, curiosity and shared commitment to knowledge and truth that elicits excellence from all members of our community and prepares the next generation of leaders through a transformative educational experience.

Serves as main public representative of the Center to visitors and the general public and provides general office support for Center faculty, staff, and associates.

    That seems fine. Section: Responsibilities - Use the Job-Specific Responsibilities list. It's a long paragraph with many duties separated by periods. We need to turn into
    • . The text: "Responsibilities of this service-oriented role include, but are not limited to, Serve as Harvard CMES's public facing representative, answering the main telephone line, handling general inquiries about all aspects of CMES operations via the cmes@fas.harvard.edu main email line and greeting a disparate variety of visitors to the Center at the 'front desk".

Support Center activities, including special events, student programs, conferences, mailings, website, and databases. Assist in data collection for grants and special projects. Perform other clerical and administrative duties as requested." We need to split into sensible list items. Could break at each sentence that starts with a verb. Let's attempt to produce list items: - Serve as Harvard CMES's public facing representative, answering the main telephone line, handling general inquiries about all aspects of CMES operations via the cmes@fas.harvard.edu main email line and greeting a disparate variety of visitors to the Center at the 'front desk'. - Field inquiries from students, the general public, local academics, vendors and the media; answer inquiries as appropriate and/or escalate to the proper person when needed. - Serve as CMES's facilities and building manager, maintaining all CMES common spaces and office equipment, including troubleshooting and reporting issues with computers (IT liaison), building access and maintenance, ordering supplies, photocopying and faxing, distributing mail, sending FEDEX, etc. - Help maintain building and computer inventory for CMES space at 38 Kirkland and 17 Sumner. - Serve as Room Scheduler, coordinating and allocating CMES conference room space (rooms 102 and 208). - Serve as Phone/TELECOM liaison. - Provide administrative support to the Center Director and Executive Director, including travel arrangements, word processing, drafting and editing correspondence, meeting organization including scheduling, invitations, reminders and agendas for Steering Committee, Executive Committee (4-6x per year) and Staff Meetings (2-3x per month), scheduling appointments, processing expense reports, and maintaining files. - Process financial transactions related to office administration, maintenance, meeting expenses (typically business meals) and student travel. - Maintain budget for CMES office supplies and maintenance, and business meals. - Serve as Student travel coordinator: primary contact for undergraduate and graduate travel grants and programs available through the Center for January Term, Spring Break, and Summer. - Serve as CARAT administrator; work with OIE in advertising travel opportunities; coordinate travel payments, required pre-departure travel forms, GSS travel orientation for funded students for high and elevated risk countries students travelers. - May serve as trip administrative co-leader for in-country short-term JTerm and Summer programs (Turkey, Tunisia); organize and conduct post-excursion analysis: surveys and interviews. - Assist with publications, communications and website, including responsibility for updating teacher resources, graduate student, Visiting Researcher, and Faculty web pages and contact info; help proof CMES newsletter. - Support Center activities with an emphasis on Academic programs (AM & PhD) and activities including admissions, recruiting, orientation, conferences, mailings, website, and databases. - Assist with alumni outreach. - Responsible for annual Affiliates in Research renewals. - Serve as CMES contact for Art and Photo Exhibits (CGIS; CMES, per year) including liaising with artist and CGIS staff, coordinating set-up of show (carpenter, payments, insurance, etc.); arrange and moderate artist public talk and opening "ceremony"; assist with print and online publicity for the event in the Harvard and Boston area community
