We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should strip out EEO statement, ADA statement, E-Verify statement, background check statement? The background check statement is maybe considered boilerplate? It's a disclaimer about background check; might be considered boilerplate but it's substantive? Usually we remove legal boilerplate. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove EEO, ADA, E-Verify, background check statement. Also remove "Special Instructions to Applicants Additional Information". Also remove "Posting Number", "Recruitment Type", "Number of Vacancies", "Job Open Date", "Job Close Date", "Open Until Filled", "Agency Website", "Contact Name Email Phone Number", "Quicklink for Posting". Also remove "Operation of a State Vehicle No", "Supervises Employees No", "Required Travel No" maybe as metadata but could be folded into short p? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we could include a short paragraph with some metadata like Work Location, Hiring Range, Work Schedule, etc. But we should not repeat job title as heading. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe from job description about college), Responsibilities (functional responsibilities), Requirements (maybe KSA's/Required Qualifications), Qualifications (maybe Additional Considerations?), Skills (maybe technology skills?), Benefits (none given), Pay (we have hiring range), Schedule (Work Schedule Varies - but that's vague; we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It says "Work Schedule Varies". That's not specific; it's basically "varies". 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. So we should not create a Schedule section because it's just "Varies". Similarly, Benefits: none given, so no Benefits section. Pay: we have a hiring range: $793 - $1,375 per credit hour, commensurate with qualifications and experience. That's specific numbers, so we can include Pay section. However the phrase "commensurate with qualifications and experience" is somewhat filler but we have actual numbers. The rule says 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. It seems okay to include Pay section with the range; we can include the phrase but it's not purely filler. We'll include Pay section with the range. Now sections: - About the role: we can use the introductory paragraph about Tidewater Community College (the description). That's substantive. - Responsibilities: we have Functional Responsibilities bullet list; also maybe the earlier paragraph about adjunct faculty member responsibilities. We'll combine into a
- list.
- Requirements: maybe the KSA's/Required Qualifications (Master's degree etc.) and Ability to communicate effectively.
- Qualifications: Additional Considerations (experience with special ed, instructional tech, etc., teaching experience at college level, knowledge of CANVAS, proven teaching strategies, sufficient technology skills). Could be considered Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe we could separate technology skills? But we might combine into Qualifications. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including qualifications and skills). But we need to follow headings list: we can use any of those headings but only if we have content. We could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. But to avoid thin sections, maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section called Requirements (or Qualifications). However the instruction says use those headings for section headings; we can choose which to include. Let's decide:
- About the role: description of college and role.
- Responsibilities: functional responsibilities list.
- Requirements: KSA's/Required Qualifications (Master's degree, communication ability).
- Qualifications: Additional Considerations (experience, teaching experience, LMS knowledge, teaching strategies, technology skills).
- Pay: hiring range.
We could also include Skills as separate but maybe not needed.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Education Adjunct". Good.
We must not include Job ID etc as headings; we can fold minor metadata into short p or drop it. We could include a short p at top with Work Location and maybe Employment type (Part Time). But we need to decide if that's considered minor metadata. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with things like Work Location, Employment type, etc. That seems okay. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the description, responsibilities, qualifications, etc. Not lose any. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, ADA, E-Verify, background check statement, special instructions, posting numbers, etc. We must also remove duplicated lines. Now craft HTML. We'll start with a
for metadata: maybe "Work Location: Virginia Beach - 810. Employment Type: Part Time. Hiring Range: $793 - $1,375 per credit hour (commensurate with qualifications and experience)." But we already have Pay section; we could keep Pay separate. Maybe metadata includes Work Location and Employment Type. Let's do:
Work Location: Virginia Beach - 810. Employment Type: Part Time.
Then sections:About the role
