Director of the Mattone Family Institute for Real Estate Law
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions). Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". Do NOT create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. The posting includes: "St. John’s offers a competitive compensation program which is commensurate with your qualifications, experience, and contingent upon the departmental budget." That's filler "commensurate with your qualifications, experience, and contingent upon the departmental budget." That's basically not a specific pay figure; it's vague. According to rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Since compensation is described only as "competitive compensation program which is commensurate with your qualifications, experience, and contingent upon the departmental budget." That's filler; we should not create a Pay section. Benefits: they mention "We also offer an extremely comprehensive benefits program to meet the diverse needs of our workforce. Along with exceptional benefits such as medical, dental, life insurance, long term disability insurance, tuition remission, generous 403(b) employer contribution, employee assistance program, and liberal paid time off policies, faculty and staff can also enjoy St. John’s performing arts, libraries, bookstores, dining facilities, campus recreation and sporting events". That's substantive benefits list. So we can create a Benefits section with
Benefits
and a - list of those benefits.
Schedule: they mention "Position Type/Expected Hours of Work This is a full-time position. Days and hours of work are Monday through Friday. Start and end times to be established by Associate Dean. Evening and weekend events are required from time to time." That's schedule info. So we can create a Schedule section with
Schedule
and a describing full-time, M-F, etc.
Also we need sections: About the role? The posting includes a Job Summary paragraph. Could be About the role. Use
About the role
with containing the job summary.
Responsibilities: there is a big block "Job Responsibilities". We'll extract responsibilities as list items.
Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The posting includes "Competencies, Education, Experience" and "Required Education And Experience", "Preferred Education And Experience", "Additional Eligibility Qualifications". Also "Supervisory Responsibility". We need to decide which sections to use. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We can combine Requirements and Qualifications maybe. But we have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only those with real content.
We have substantive content for About the role (job summary). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe required education/experience). Qualifications (preferred education/experience, additional eligibility). Skills (competencies like interpersonal, communication, etc). Benefits (list). Schedule (full-time M-F). Pay: we should not include because it's vague filler. So omit Pay.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Good.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, benefits, schedule.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. At end there is EEO statement, "Important Note- St. John’s is NOT an E-Verify Employer", "Any offer of employment is subject to receipt..." etc. Those are boilerplate; remove.
Also remove "Supplemental Information Work Environment", "Physical Demands", "Environmental Conditions N/A", "Travel", etc? Those are not boilerplate but maybe considered supplemental info. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. It didn't say to remove supplemental info like work environment, physical demands, travel. However we should preserve ALL substantive information. So we should include those details if they are substantive. But we have limited headings; we could incorporate them into About the role or Schedule? The headings list does not include Work Environment etc. We could embed them in About the role paragraph or maybe create a separate section? Not allowed headings beyond those listed? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we should fit all info under those headings. We can put Work Environment, Physical Demands, Travel under About the role or Schedule? Probably About the role can include a paragraph about work environment etc. Or we could add a paragraph under About the role covering those.
We must not create sections with filler. So we need to ensure each heading has substantive content.
Let's extract content.
Job Summary paragraph: "St. John’s University School of Law is seeking a candidate for the position of Director of the Mattone Family Institute for Real Estate Law.

We need to turn these into - items. Some are long sentences; we can keep them as is.
Now Requirements: "Required Education And Experience A Juris Doctor degree is required." That's it.
Preferred Education And Experience: "5 or more years’ relevant professional experience required." Actually that line says "Preferred Education And Experience 5 or more years’ relevant professional experience required." Wait reading: "Preferred Education And Experience 5 or more years’ relevant professional experience required." That seems contradictory but it's in the posting. Then "Additional Eligibility Qualifications 10 or more years’ relevant professional experience preferred. Admission to NY state bar preferred. Membership and involvement with real estate law professional associations preferred."
Thus we have required: JD degree. Preferred: 5+ years relevant professional
