We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. We need to extract content. Given posting: includes Position Summary, then many paragraphs describing responsibilities. Also includes Benefits section with details. Also includes Minimum Qualifications. Also includes Salary: Commensurate with experience (but that's not specific; we should not create Pay section if it's just "commensurate with experience" as placeholder). Also Work Days and Hours: Monday - Friday, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm (Schedule). Also Application Deadline etc but we should drop application instructions. Also Special Instructions etc drop. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate. We need sections: About the role (maybe position summary). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications). Qualifications? Could be same as Requirements? But we need to decide. The instruction: use headings for those categories if content exists. We have content for About the role (position summary). Responsibilities (the long list). Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications). Benefits (the benefits details). Schedule (Work Days and Hours). Pay: we have only "Commencement with experience" which is placeholder; we should not create Pay section. Skills: not explicitly listed; maybe we could infer but we should not invent. So omit Skills. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose, use

    . For Benefits we have a list of items; we can make

      . We need to preserve all substantive information: include details like medical costs, retirement options, etc. We must not include duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes some boilerplate like "Apply now to join FAU..." etc. We should drop that. Also "Note: Current FAU employees must apply as an internal applicant..." drop. Also "For more information on everything FAU has to offer..." drop. Also "Explore Living in Palm Beach County" maybe not needed? It's not a core job detail; could be considered extra but maybe it's not substantive to the role. It's more about living guide; could be considered boilerplate? Probably drop. We need to include the Position Summary as About the role.

Now Minimum Qualifications: Master's degree in an appropriate area of specialization and six years of appropriate experience; or a bachelor's degree in an appropriate area of specialization and eight years of appropriate experience required. We could put that under Requirements or Qualifications. Since we have both headings, we could put Requirements for experience/education, and Qualifications maybe for skills? But we don't have separate skills. To avoid thin sections, we could combine into Requirements (or Qualifications). The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (includes qualifications), Benefits, Schedule. Thus we will not have Qualifications separate. Now Benefits: The posting includes a block: "FAU Benefits And Perks If Benefits & Perks are important to you, then FAU is the place to be! Working at FAU has its perks! In addition to helping drive change and having a positive impact by supporting our students, staff, and faculty, FAU offers: Excellent benefit packages including Medical (PPO/HMO $50 per month single & $180 per month family), Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, Flexible Spending plans, Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and much more.
