Dean, School of Nursing

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have sections: Position Overview, About Endicott College, Benefits (but we only include if real specific content; Benefits says "To learn more about our employee benefits, click here." That's not specific content, so we should NOT include Benefits section. Key Responsibilities (list). Core Competencies (list). Required Qualifications and Skills (list). Preferred Experience (list). Pay (we have salary range). Schedule? Not mentioned. So include Pay section. Also maybe include Location? Not as heading; we can fold location into a short p. Also include maybe "About Endicott College" as a section? The instruction: use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). They gave examples but we can use other headings if appropriate? They said use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect those headings. But we can also use other headings if they match content? Probably they want those exact headings when applicable. We have content for: About the role (Position Overview + About Endicott College?). Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities). Requirements (Required Qualifications and Skills). Skills (maybe Core Competencies). Qualifications (maybe Preferred Experience). Pay (salary). Schedule not present. Benefits not present (specific). So we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Qualifications, Pay. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We'll include location info in a short p maybe under About the role or separate? Could add a p after About the role heading? But we should not create extra headings. We'll embed location in About the role section as a p. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the position overview text, about Endicott College text, responsibilities bullet list, core competencies bullet list, required qualifications bullet list, preferred experience bullet list, pay range. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. Also remove application instructions (like "Please apply today...") and "Applications & Nominations" etc. Also remove "Effective Date of Current Version". Also remove "In compliance with Massachusetts pay transparency law" maybe keep pay range but remove the sentence about factors? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. The pay range is substantive; the sentence about factors is also substantive? It explains how final salary determined. Might be considered substantive. But we can keep it as part of Pay section. However they said never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state salary range, so we include Pay section. We can include the explanatory sentence as part of that section. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now format: Use

for each section heading. Under each, use

for prose,

• for lists. We need to ensure we don't duplicate headings. Let's craft:
