Faculty Assistant (History)
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to map content accordingly.
We have Company Description: could be "About the role" or maybe "About Harvard"? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should create sections like About the role (company description), Responsibilities (job-specific responsibilities), Requirements (qualifications), Skills (maybe additional qualifications), Benefits, Pay (salary grade), Schedule (standard hours). Also maybe Working Conditions could be part of Responsibilities? But we can include as separate if needed. However instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from company description, job summary, responsibilities, working conditions, qualifications, certificates, standard hours, visa sponsorship, pre-employment screening, other info, salary grade, benefits.
We must remove duplicated lines (like Visa Sponsorship Information appears twice). Also remove duplicated Working Conditions paragraph appears twice (the same). Also remove duplicated "Other Information" lines.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO/Non-Discrimination Commitment Statement.
We must not include application instructions (none present). Also remove cookie/navigation/legal etc (none).
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state Salary Grade and Ranges (Pay) and Benefits, and Standard Hours/Schedule (Schedule). So we can include those.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
Thus:
- Section About the role:
About the role
then containing company description (maybe two paragraphs). Could combine into one
but we can split if needed. Use
for prose.
- Responsibilities:
Responsibilities
then - each duty.
- Requirements: maybe combine Qualifications and Skills? But we have Basic Qualifications and Additional Qualifications and Skills, plus Certificates and Licenses. Could make a section Requirements with subpoints? But instruction: use
for section headings; we can have multiple sections: Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we can combine Qualifications and Skills into one section "Requirements". But they gave examples: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we could have separate Qualifications and Skills sections. But we need to avoid thin sections. However we have enough content for each.
Let's decide:
- Qualifications: Basic Qualifications (three years admin experience). Could be a
or
. We'll use for prose.
- Skills: Additional Qualifications and Skills (list). Use
.
- Certificates and Licenses: maybe part of Qualifications? Could be separate but thin. Could include under Qualifications as extra bullet.
But we need to preserve all info. We'll include Certificates and Licenses under Qualifications as a bullet.
- Benefits: Benefits
then - each benefit.
- Pay:
Pay
then containing salary grade info and reference to Harvard's Salary Ranges.
- Schedule:
Schedule
then containing standard hours/week and hybrid work details.
We also need Working Conditions: maybe incorporate into Schedule or Responsibilities? Could be part of Schedule section (work location). We'll add a paragraph under Schedule about working conditions.
We also need to include Visa Sponsorship Information, Pre-Employment Screening, Other Information (like formal offers by FAS HR, Job Architecture). These are substantive; we need to include them somewhere. Could be under Additional Information section but we don't have a heading for that. Could add a section "Additional Information". But the instruction only gave examples; not limited to those. We can add a section "Additional Information" with
. That's okay.
Thus sections:
- About the role
- Responsibilities
- Qualifications
- Skills
- Benefits
- Pay
- Schedule
- Additional Information
Now we need to extract content.
