- Required Documents And Additional Information: Resume and cover letter required, etc. That's application instructions; we should remove application instructions per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we drop that.
- USC has excellent benefits, including health benefits for staff and their family with access to the renowned university medical network; eligibility for retirement plans with employer contributions*; tuition benefits for staff and their family; free Professional Development classes; central Los Angeles location with easy access to commuter trains, buses and free tram pick up services; discounts to sporting and other campus events.
That's Benefits.
- Why join the USC Leventhal School of Accounting? ... descriptive paragraph about school.
That could be "About the role" or maybe "About the school". But we have only allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The "Why join..." could be part of About the role or maybe we could treat as About the role. The initial paragraph about seeking Director is also about role. We'll combine into About the role.
We have no explicit Schedule info; none given, so we should not create Schedule section.
We have Skills? The posting includes problem solving skills, emotional intelligence, communication skills, confidentiality, flexibility, familiarity with accounting profession. Those could go under Skills. But we also have Qualifications (minimum and preferred). The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). They list Requirements and Qualifications separate. We need to decide what goes where.
Typically: Requirements = minimum qualifications; Qualifications = preferred qualifications; Skills = specific skill items. But we can also combine.
We must not create empty sections. So we need to see if we have content for each.
We have:
- About the role: yes.
- Responsibilities: yes.
- Requirements: minimum qualifications (Bachelor's degree, 5 years experience, combined experience/education substitute, supervisory experience). That's content.
- Qualifications: preferred qualifications (Master's degree, 7 years experience, experience leading/supervising FT employees, problem solving skills, high emotional intelligence, excellent oral/written communication, ability to maintain confidentiality, flexibility/responsiveness, familiarity with accounting profession). That's content.
- Skills: Could be derived from preferred qualifications but we already used them. Might be redundant. Better to put skill items under Skills and keep Qualifications for degrees/experience. But the posting lumps them together as "Preferred Qualifications". However we can split: Qualifications (education/experience) and Skills (soft skills). Let's see if we have enough to fill Skills separately.
Preferred qualifications list includes: Master's degree, 7 years of experience, Experience leading and supervising other full-time employees, Problem solving skills, High emotional intelligence, Excellent oral and written communication skills, Ability to maintain confidentiality and handle sensitive information, Flexibility and responsiveness to the needs of the team, students, faculty, etc., Familiarity with accounting profession and industry.
We could treat Master's degree and 7 years experience as Qualifications (education/experience). The rest as Skills.
Thus:
Qualifications (Preferred): Master's degree, 7 years of experience.
Skills: Experience leading and supervising other full-time employees, Problem solving skills, High emotional intelligence, Excellent oral and written communication skills, Ability to maintain confidentiality and handle sensitive information, Flexibility and responsiveness to the needs of the team, students, faculty, etc., Familiarity with accounting profession and industry.
Minimum qualifications (Requirements): Bachelor's degree, 5 years of experience, Combined experience/education as substitute for minimum education, Supervisory experience in student programs and services.
Now Benefits: we have paragraph.
Pay: Anticipated Hiring Range.
Schedule: none -> omit.
Now About the role: combine intro and maybe why join? The "Why join..." is more about the school; could be part of About the role or maybe we could add a separate section but not allowed. We'll incorporate into About the role.
We must not include boilerplate like "USC has excellent benefits..." we already placed under Benefits.
We must not include "Required Documents And Additional Information" etc.
We must not include Job ID, Posted Date, Apply, etc.

With ready access to industries defining the new business frontier, including bio‑technology, life sciences, media, entertainment, communications and healthcare, this vast network offers support for success in the global marketplace.
But we need to ensure we didn't invent info. The "Why join..." paragraph is exactly that. We can include it as part of About the role. Now Responsibilities: we need to list duties as- . The responsibilities paragraph includes many items separated by periods. We'll extract each duty.
Original responsibilities paragraph:
"Lead and support the Academic Advising team, recruit/supervise student worker(s), and facilitate a collaborative, engaged, and inclusive team environment.Together with the Academic Advising team, provide support to Leventhal students. This includes but is not limited to meeting with students both in-person and virtually, updating course plans and informational resources, updating the website, reviewing and distributing communications, tracking student academic progress in the Advise USC platform, conducting GPA and graduation checks, providing guidance on CPA (Certified Public Accountant) eligibility, referring students to other resources as needed, etc. In collaboration with the Marshall Office of Undergraduate Advising & Student Affairs, participate in orientation sessions, register students for classes, assess applications for internal transfer, etc.In partnership with Leventhal and Marshall colleagues, design and execute a strategic plan that furthers the goals of Leventhal’s academic mission: gather and assess feedback from students, alumni, faculty, staff and other constituents; implement and update information systems to collect data to identify trends and develop objectives.Liaise with multiple groups (e.g., students, faculty, alumni, employers, Leventhal advisory board members, Marshall and University personnel, colleagues from other institutions, representatives from accounting and other professional associations) to stay current on issues, trends, policies, and technologies that impact educational success, enrollments, student wellbeing, and the accounting profession.In collaboration with senior leaders, evaluate, update, and maintain curricula and class schedules that are in line with Leventhal’s mission. Help construct the class schedule for each semester. Monitor and manage enrollments during registration periods.Present and provide updates as necessary to the Leventhal Dean, faculty, Board of Councilors, Marshall, and other entities.In partnership with the Executive Director, develop a budget. Monitor expenses and ensure the Academic Advising team remains in compliance with all expense and reimbursement guidelines.Performs other related duties as assigned or requested. The university reserves the right to add or change duties at any time."
We need to preserve all substantive information; we can break into list items each representing a duty. However we must not lose detail. Could create list items for each major duty.
Let's parse:
- Lead and support the Academic Advising team, recruit/supervise student worker(s), and facilitate a collaborative, engaged, and inclusive team environment.
- Together with the Academic Advising team, provide support to Leventhal students. This includes but is not limited to:
* meeting with students both in-person and virtually

- The university reserves the right to add or change duties at any time.

- Bachelor's degree
- 5 years of experience
