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. Need to preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate, no duplicated lines, no application instructions, no EEO, etc. We need to parse the job posting. First, there is a "University Overview" paragraph. That's about the employer; could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is typical heading for description of role. But we have a University Overview describing the employer; maybe we treat that as "About the role" or "About the University". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use "About the role" heading for overview of role and possibly employer description. However we have a separate "Job Description Summary" and "Job Description Job Responsibilities". We need to extract responsibilities list. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. Let's extract: - About the role: Could combine University Overview and Job Description Summary. Provide a paragraph describing role: Provide administrative support to four Senior Philanthropy Officers in Principal Gifts, also support Strategic Partnerships team, etc. Also mention representing Office of Principal Gifts, high-level customer service, etc. We'll keep substantive info. - Responsibilities: list of duties from "Job Responsibilities". Need to turn into
  • . Must preserve all details, not summarize away. However we need to avoid duplication. The responsibilities list is long; we need to capture each bullet. Let's extract bullet points from the responsibilities paragraph: "Administrative oversight over key donor review meetings and their corresponding reports (Prospect Strategy Meetings, PRN/Top Donor Communication Strategy Meetings, Principal Gift Prospect List.) Schedule annual, biannual, and monthly meetings; prepare materials, agendas, minutes, and reports; compile and summarize data; perform preliminary analysis of reports; provide support to Schools, Centers, and Central offices such that they comply with the parameters of these meetings and reports." "Prepare gift agreements and process gift transmittals, process pledge payments, track monthly pledge reminders sent to Principal Gift donors, and prepare open-pledge reports." "Liaise with Central Gifts and School and Center development offices to ensure accuracy of agreements and records in database, and that new gifts are recorded correctly." "Create and manage reports database; ensure donor database is current and well-maintained; coordinate mailings; track donor pledge payments." "Word process, compose, proofread, and edit correspondence." "Conduct donor research and draft briefings." "Assist in staffing special DAR events and programs." "Contribute to all aspects of the Parent Leadership Committee in consultation with the Senior Director. Two meetings a year." "Handle arrangements associated with travel and reimbursements for Senior Director and two Executive Directors." "Serve as a BEN Financials end-user." "Ensure the efficient and effective operation of the Office of Principal Gifts, always assuring complete professionalism." "Exercise considerable judgment, tact, and diplomacy in performance of duties." "Answer phones for Principal Gifts and SAVP." We need to keep each as separate list items. Some sentences contain multiple actions separated by semicolons; we could keep as one li or split? The instruction: use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid multiple sentences inside one li. We'll keep each bullet as a separate li, preserving the content. Now Qualifications: The posting has "Qualifications" section with bullet-like sentences: "High School Grad/GE Degree and 3 to 5 years of experience or equivalent combination of education and experience is required. Bachelor’s degree preferred; knowledge of higher education or not-for-profit industry helpful. Proficiency in the use of Microsoft Office products, electronic mail and knowledge of Salesforce. Ability to conduct internet research preferred; willingness to learn and apply new technologies as needed. Excellent oral and written communication skills; strong interpersonal and organizational skills; thorough knowledge of office procedures, practices and methods; ability to organize and prioritize assignments and work effectively with diverse groups; detail-oriented, flexible, and productive under pressure; ability to staff events as needed; ability to occasionally work evening/weekend extended or flexible hours." We need to output as
      • for list of qualifications/requirements. Could split each sentence into li. Also Skills: Might be overlapping with qualifications; but we can treat qualifications as requirements. The instruction includes Skills as possible heading; but we can decide to not create a separate Skills section if content is covered under Qualifications. However we need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. The qualifications section includes skills like proficiency in MS Office, Salesforce, etc. Could we create a Skills section? Might be redundant. Better to have a Qualifications section covering education/experience and skills. The instruction says we can use Qualifications heading; we can also use Skills heading if we want. But we should prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine education/experience and skills into Qualifications. Now Benefits: The posting has a "University Benefits" section with detailed list. We need to include Benefits heading with
        • for each benefit. Must preserve all substantive info; do not include boilerplate like EEO etc. The Benefits section includes many items: Health, Life, and Flexible Spending Accounts; Tuition; Retirement; Time Away from Work; Long-Term Care Insurance; Wellness and Work-life Resources; Professional and Personal Development; University Resources; Discounts and Special Services; Flexible Work Hours; Penn Home Ownership Services; Adoption Assistance. Also includes details under each. We need to capture each as list items, preserving details. Pay: The posting includes "Pay Range $19.32 - $23.07 Hourly Rate" plus description about salary offers based on qualifications etc. We need to include Pay heading only if posting actually states them. Yes, there is a Pay Range. So we create Pay section with that info. Should we include the description about salary offers? That's substantive; we can include as paragraph under Pay. Schedule: The posting does not explicitly mention schedule (like full-time, part-time, hours). There's mention of ability to occasionally work evening/weekend extended or flexible hours under qualifications. That's not a schedule section. There's also Flexible Work Hours under benefits. But schedule heading is for work schedule info like full-time, part-time, shift. Not present. So we omit Schedule. Now we need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes "Please provide a resume and cover letter in order to be considered for this role. Please upload all documents in the “Resume/CV” section of the application prior to submitting." That's application instruction; we must remove. Also "Equal Opportunity Statement" and "Special Requirements Background checks may be required..." That's EEO/legal; remove. Also "University Overview" is okay as content about employer; we can keep under About the role. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft:
