2. Use - for lists of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose
3. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)
4. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it
5. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail
6. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions

9. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones
10. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences
Let me analyze the job posting:
- About Bronx Community College: This is background info about the college
- Position Summary: This contains the duties/responsibilities
- Qualifications: Required and preferred qualifications
- CUNY Title Overview: More details about the role
- Job Title Name: Environmental Health and Safety Director
- CUNY TITLE: Higher Education Officer
- FLSA: Non-exempt
- Compensation And Benefits: Salary range and benefits description
- How To Apply: Application instructions (should be removed)
- CLOSING DATE: Open until filled (metadata)
- JOB SEARCH CATEGORY: CUNY Job Posting: Managerial/Professional (metadata)
- EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY: Boilerplate (remove)
- Job ID: 32974 (metadata)
- Location: Bronx Community College (metadata)
I need to structure this into sections. The posting has:
1. About the role (could combine college background and position summary)
2. Responsibilities (from Position Summary)
3. Qualifications (required and preferred)
4. Pay (salary range is given)
5. Benefits (benefits are described)
6. Maybe a brief metadata section for location, FLSA, etc.
But the rules say: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text" and "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them."
The posting does state salary range and benefits, so Pay and Benefits sections are appropriate.
Schedule is not mentioned, so no Schedule section.
Let me organize:
- About the role: Could include the college description and position summary overview. But the position summary is mostly responsibilities. Maybe "About the role" for college background and a brief intro, then "Responsibilities" for the detailed duties.
The Position Summary starts with "In addition to the general duties of the position, the Director of Environmental Health and Safety reports to the Vice President for Administration and performs the following duties:" then lists many duties. That's clearly responsibilities.
The Qualifications section has required and preferred.
CUNY Title Overview is essentially a summary of responsibilities and duties - could be merged or kept as additional detail.
Compensation And Benefits: salary range and benefits description.
Metadata: Job ID, Location, FLSA, CUNY Title, Closing date - fold into a short
or drop. The rule says "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." I'll include a brief metadata paragraph at the end or beginning.
But the rule also says "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings". So I'll put metadata in a
.
Now, I need to output only HTML fragment.
Let me draft:

But wait, the rule says "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". I didn't use job title as heading. Good.
Also, "CUNY Title Overview" is essentially a summary of responsibilities. I could include it as part of responsibilities or as a separate section. But it's duplicative. The Position Summary already covers most. The CUNY Title Overview is a generic description for the title. I'll omit it to avoid duplication, as the rule says "Remove duplicated lines".
