Extension Horse Specialist
for each section heading. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. We need to include required documents list? That's application instructions, should be removed. Also "Special Instructions to Applicants" etc. Remove. We need to keep details like department contact? Could be considered metadata; maybe fold into short
or drop. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." Department contact is minor metadata; we could include in a short
under About the role or separate paragraph. We need to preserve all substantive information: responsibilities, qualifications, schedule, etc. Let's extract substantive content: - Advertising Summary: "Extension Animal Resources at NMSU is seeking an Extension Horse Specialist to spearhead the development of a nationally recognized Extension and outreach program focusing on equine. Apply today" - Position Details: Position Title (we ignore), College/Division: Cooperative Extension Service, Department: 311000-EXTENSN ANIMAL RESOURCES, Location: Las Cruces, Offsite Location (if applicable): (none), Target Hourly/Salary Rate: Commensurate with qualifications, Appointment Full-time Equivalency: 1.0, FLSA Status: Exempt, Bargaining Unit Announcement: This is NOT a bargaining unit position with the National Education Association (NEA)., Contingent Upon Funding: Not Applicable, Standard Work Schedule: Standard (M-F, 8-5) - Job Duties and Responsibilities: list of items (starting with "100% Extension appointment..." etc.) - Qualifications Required Education and Experience: list. - Preferred Qualifications: list (Special Certification/Licensure? Actually there is a heading "Preferred Qualifications:" then "Special Certification/Licensure" then "Working Conditions and Physical Effort" etc. Actually after "Preferred Qualifications:" there is "Special Certification/Licensure" then "Working Conditions and Physical Effort Environment:" etc. Need to parse. Let's copy the relevant sections: From the text: "Qualifications Required Education and Experience: Candidates must have a Ph.D. in animal sciences (preferred) or other related field (e.g., DVM) by employment date. Practical experience within and understanding of the equine industry. Demonstrated communication skills, including writing and presentation skills as evidenced in the applicant's curriculum vitae. Knowledge of teaching and learning theories and models for youth and adult audiences.\ Knowledge or willingness to learn Cooperative Extension Service philosophy and approach to meet the defined mission, same for land grant university structure and mission. Ability to work with other faculty and staff; work as a team member; work cooperatively with landowners, livestock producers, government agencies, and environmental interests; communicate effectively, both in writing and orally, with individuals and groups." Then "Equivalent Qualifications Preferred Qualifications: Special Certification/Licensure Working Conditions and Physical Effort Environment: Work involves moderate exposure to unusual elements, such as extreme temperatures, dirt, dust, fumes, smoke, unpleasant odors, and/or loud noises. Physical Effort: Light physical effort. Effort applies to no more than two (2) hours per day. Lifting Requirements: Requires handling of average-weight objects up to 25 pounds or standing and/or walking for more than four (4) hours per day. Risk: Work environment involves some exposure to hazards or physical risks, which require following basic safety precautions." So Preferred Qualifications includes Special Certification/Licensure (none listed?), then Working Conditions and Physical Effort details. We should keep those as part of Qualifications section maybe. We also have "Recruitment Summary" describing NMSU etc. That's substantive but maybe could be part of About the role. We need to avoid boilerplate like EEO, Requesting an Accommodation, Special Instructions to Applicants, etc. Now construct HTML: We'll have:

We should not include Pay section because it's not specific. Now ensure we haven't included boilerplate: we omitted EEO, Requesting Accommodation, Special Instructions, Recruitment Summary? Actually we included some of Recruitment Summary in About the role? We included location and standard schedule but not the descriptive paragraph about NMSU being land-grant, NASA Space Grant, etc. That is substantive but maybe could be included in About the role. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information. So we should include that description about NMSU. It's under "Recruitment Summary". That is substantive about the institution. We should include it maybe in About the role paragraph.
