We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Position Overview: description of role, primary responsibility: support to County Extension Director and other staff, cooperates with colleagues, governed by NCCE policies. - Primary Function of Organizational Unit: description of NC State Extension, mission, Perquimans County details. - Wolfpack Perks And Benefits: list of benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, Flexible Spending Account, Retirement Programs, Disability Plans, Life Insurance, Accident Plan, Paid Time Off and Other Leave Programs, 12 Holidays Each Year, Tuition and Academic Assistance, Childcare benefits, Wellness & Recreation Membership, Wellness Programs. - Other Duties And Responsibilities: list of duties: administrative support for County Extension Director and other staff/program areas (Agriculture, Natural Resources, 4-H and Family and Consumer Science). Interact with other county departments. Develop and manage county and NCSU Extension budget and financial procedures, maintain grant fund budgets. Submit volunteer background checks, maintain records. Work with electronic travel, leave, reporting systems. Office support duties: file management, purchasing, maintaining office supplies, reviewing/screening mail, processing outgoing mail (including mass mailings). Provide customer service to call-in and walk-in clientele. Marketing Extension programs and success through creation of reports, maintaining and updating website, social media and all other communication outlets. Creation of educational materials and newsletters. Assist Agents in creating program announcements and other event promotion materials. - Requirements and Preferences: includes Work Schedule: 8:00am - 5:00pm; Monday - Friday. Minimum Experience/Education: Graduation from high school and two years of related experience; or graduation from a two-year secretarial science or business administration program and one year related experience. Department Required Skills: extensive knowledge of computer applications required including Word, Excel, Google Suite, willingness to learn new relevant software. Must be highly motivated, strong organizational skills, ability to multi-task. Dependable, prompt, efficient. Strong written and oral communication skills. Understanding of and able to maintain confidentiality, especially HR issues. Effective time management skills, prioritize tasks. Preferred Years Experience, Skills, Training, Education: Administrative/clerical experience in an office environment. Experience in budget management and compliance with financial guidelines. Required License or Certification: Valid Driver’s License and reliable, personal transportation required. Valid North Carolina driver’s license required within 60 days of hire and must be maintained. (Valid NC Driver's License required? Yes; Commercial Driver's License Required? No; Physical Required? No). Also mention recruitment details: Anticipated Hiring Range Minimum - $34,424, commensurate with experience. So Pay info: minimum $34,424, commensurate with experience. According to rules, we should NOT include Pay section if content is only "commensurate with experience" or vague? The rule: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". So we cannot create a Pay section with just that phrase. However we have a specific minimum $34,424. That's substantive. The phrase "commensurate with experience" is filler but we have also a number. We could include Pay section with the minimum salary and note that it's commensurate with experience? The rule says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. If we include both the number and the phrase, is that considered filler? Probably we should include the Pay section with the specific minimum and mention that it's commensurate with experience (maybe acceptable). But to be safe, we could include Pay section with the minimum salary and maybe note that it's commensurate with experience (still includes filler). Might be considered filler. Better to include Pay section with the concrete number and maybe omit the phrase. The rule says "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". If we include the number plus that phrase, the heading is not followed solely by filler; it's followed by substantive info (the number) plus filler. Might be okay but risk. I'd include Pay section with the minimum salary and maybe phrase "starting at $34,424" and omit the commensurate phrase. Schedule: we have Work Schedule 8:00am - 5:00pm; Monday - Friday. That's specific, so we can include Schedule section. Benefits: we have substantive list, so include Benefits section. About the role: we have Position Overview and Primary Function of Organizational Unit. Could combine into About the role. Responsibilities: we have Other Duties And Responsibilities (list). Also Position Overview includes primary responsibility. We'll put responsibilities in Responsibilities section. Requirements: we have Minimum Experience/Education, Required License or Certification, maybe also Required Skills? Actually skills go under Skills section. Requirements could include experience/education and license. Qualifications: maybe we could treat Requirements as qualifications? But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings allowed. We need to decide what to put where. Typically Requirements = experience/education, license; Qualifications = skills, preferred experience. But we can split. Skills: Department Required Skills (extensive knowledge of computer applications, willingness to learn new software, highly motivated, strong organizational skills, ability to multi-task, dependable, prompt, efficient, strong written and oral communication, confidentiality, time management, prioritize). Also Preferred Years Experience, Skills, Training, Education: administrative/clerical experience, experience in budget management and compliance with financial guidelines. We could put required skills under Skills, and preferred experience under Qualifications (or Requirements). But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's think. We have: - About the role: combine Position Overview + Primary Function of Organizational Unit (mission description). That's substantive. - Responsibilities: list of duties from Other Duties And Responsibilities. - Requirements: Minimum Experience/Education, Required License/Certification (Driver's license). Also maybe "Valid NC Driver's License required within 60 days". - Qualifications: Preferred Years Experience, Skills, Training, Education (admin/clerical experience, budget management experience). Could also include "Preferred" as qualifications. - Skills: Department Required Skills (computer apps, motivation, organizational, multitask, dependable, communication, confidentiality, time management). Could also include willingness to learn new software. - Benefits: list of benefits. - Pay: minimum salary $34,424. - Schedule: 8:00am - 5:00pm Monday-Friday. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate: Special Instructions, Posting Details, etc. Also remove EEO, disclaimer, application instructions, etc. We must preserve all substantive information. Now craft HTML. Use

for each section heading. Inside sections, use

for prose,

  • for lists. We need to ensure we don't include empty sections. Let's draft. About the role: combine two paragraphs. Paragraph 1: Position Overview: "The County Administrative Assistant is a member of the staff of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension (NCCE). The County Administrative Assistant’s primary responsibility is to provide support to the County Extension Director and other staff as assigned. The County Administrative Assistant cooperates with colleagues in the NCCE and county leaders in performing assigned responsibilities. The performance of assigned responsibility is governed by the philosophy, objectives, policies, and procedures of the NCCE." Paragraph 2: Primary Function of Organizational Unit: description of NC State Extension mission and Perquimans County details. We'll need to keep all details: "Are you looking for a rewarding career that will let you give back to your community? NC State Extension extends research-based knowledge to all North Carolinians, helping them transform science into everyday solutions that improve their lives and grow our state. We are a model of excellence in non-formal, research-based education that advances agriculture, the environment, human health and well-being, youth and communities, while creating prosperity for all North Carolinians. Working for NC State Extension allows you to teach without being tied to a classroom or school bell. North Carolina Cooperative Extension gives our residents easy access to the resources and expertise of NC State University and NC A&T State University. Through educational programs, publications, and events, Cooperative Extension field faculty deliver unbiased, research-based information to North Carolina residents. Perquimans County is a scenic, rural county in northeastern North Carolina shaped by water, farmland, and strong community values. Bordered by the Perquimans River and near the Albemarle Sound, the county offers a unique blend of productive agricultural land and coastal ecosystems. Row crops such as corn, soybeans, cotton, and wheat dominate the landscape, alongside poultry operations, small livestock farms, and growing interest in local food systems and agritourism. The county seat, Hertford, reflects the area’s historic roots with a walkable downtown, waterfront views, and active civic organizations. The community is small but engaged, with strong school involvement, faith-based partnerships, and multigenerational farm families. With a population of just over 13,000 residents. Its rural character, agricultural foundation, and commitment to youth and family development create a meaningful setting for impactful Extension programming and community-based leadership." We could keep as one paragraph or split. Responsibilities: list items from Other Duties And Responsibilities. Let's extract list: - Providing administrative support for the County Extension Director and other staff/program areas including Agriculture, Natural Resources, 4-H and Family and Consumer Science. - Interacts with other county departments (Human Resources, Finance, Budget, Facility Services, etc.) to ensure effective relationships with county government. - Work with the County Extension Director to develop and effectively manage the county and NCSU Extension budget and on-going financial procedures as well as maintaining grant fund budgets. - Responsible for submitting all volunteer background checks and maintaining appropriate records. - Work with electronic travel, leave, and reporting systems. - Perform office support duties of file management, purchasing and maintaining office supplies, reviewing/screening mail, and processing outgoing mail (including mass mailings). - Provide customer service to call-in and walk-in clientele and should have the ability to respond to clientele. - Marketing Extension programs and success through creation of reports, maintaining and updating the website, social media and all other communication outlets. - Creation of educational materials and newsletters. - Assist Agents in creating program announcements and other event promotion materials. We could also include "The County Administrative Assistant position provides office support and leadership, under supervision, to the Extension staff and does related work as required to support educational programs in a variety of areas including some data entry and office supply management." That's from earlier Duties and Responsibilities heading. Might include as first bullet. We'll include that as bullet. Requirements: Minimum Experience/Education: "Graduation from high school and two years of related experience; or graduation from a two-year secretarial science or business administration program and one year related experience." Required License/Certification: "Valid Driver’s License and reliable, personal transportation required. Valid North Carolina driver’s license required within 60 days of hire and must be maintained." We could also mention "Valid NC Driver's License required? Yes; Commercial Driver's License Required? No; Physical Required? No." But that's maybe metadata; we can include in required license bullet. Qualifications: Preferred Years Experience, Skills, Training, Education: "Administrative/clerical experience in an office environment. Experience in budget management and compliance with financial guidelines." Skills: Department Required Skills: list: - Extensive knowledge of computer applications including Word, Excel, Google Suite. - Willingness to learn new relevant software programs as they become essential. - Highly motivated. - Strong organizational skills and ability to multi-task. - Dependable, prompt, and efficient. - Strong written and oral communication skills. - Understanding of and able to maintain confidentiality, especially as it relates to HR issues. - Effective time
