We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

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 the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to parse the posting. Key parts: - Intro about CSULB: location, campus, lifestyle, work-life balance, etc. This is "About the role"? Actually it's about the organization and location. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About CSULB". The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use "About the role" heading for the introductory description. - Job Summary: description of Financial Aid Counselor/Program Coordinator duties. Could be part of Responsibilities or maybe separate "Job Summary". But we only have allowed headings list; we could embed summary under Responsibilities or maybe under About the role. But we need to preserve all substantive info. We can create a section "Responsibilities" with bullet list of duties. The posting includes "Key Responsibilities" with sub-bullets: Counseling and Outreach, Processing, Evaluation, Program Oversight, Knowledge and Continual Learning. Also there is a paragraph before that describing activities: determining eligibility; awarding aid; facilitating problem solving; professional judgment decisions; leadership and program oversight; adjudicates appeals; provides training; services equitable, inclusive, culturally sensitive; student-centered equity-minded approach. We can combine all responsibilities into a bullet list. - Department Enrollment Services - Financial Aid Time Base 1.0 time-base, 40 hours per week. Duration of Appointment: temporary position for 1 year with no permanent status granted. Temporary assignments may expire prior to ending date. Classification Student Services Professional II. This is metadata about appointment type, duration, classification. Could be placed under a short

    maybe under "About the role" or separate? Not a heading. We'll include as a paragraph after the intro. - Compensation: Salary placement determined by education, experience, qualifications, internal equity, hiring department’s fiscal resources. Hiring Range: $5,083 - $5,250 per month commensurate with candidate's education, experience, skills, and training. CSU Classification Salary Range: $5,083 - $7,228 per month. This is pay info. According to instruction: include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state hiring range and classification range. So we can create a Pay section with that info. However we must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" which is placeholder? Actually they say 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. The phrase "commensurate with candidate's education, experience, skills, and training." is somewhat filler but it's part of the range description. It's not just "commensurate with experience". It's more specific. I think it's okay to include. - Benefits: detailed list. So we create Benefits section with bullet list. - Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities: This is a list of KSAs. Could be under Skills or Requirements. The instruction says use headings like Skills, Requirements, Qualifications. We have "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities" which is essentially Skills. We'll create a Skills section with bullet list. - Education And Experience: Equivalent to a bachelor's degree in one of the behavioral sciences, public or business administration, or a job-related field and two years of professional experience in one of the student services program areas required. That's Requirements/Qualifications. We'll create a Requirements section (or Qualifications). Use Requirements heading. - Physical Summary: Sedentary work... This is additional info; could be placed under About the role or maybe a separate short paragraph. Not a heading. - Additional Information: includes visa sponsorship, background check, mandated reporter, etc. This is boilerplate/legal; we should remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The Additional Information includes background check, mandated reporter, etc. This is likely legal boilerplate; we should remove it. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should drop the Additional Information section (background check, etc.) as it's legal. Also remove Equal Employment Statement, Accommodations, Out of State Employment Policy. Those are EEO/legal. So we drop those. - Application Procedures: also to be removed (application instructions). So drop. Thus final HTML will have sections: About the role (intro + appointment details), Responsibilities (bullet list), Requirements (education/experience), Skills (knowledge, skills, abilities), Benefits (bullet list), Pay (salary ranges). Possibly Schedule? The posting mentions Time Base 1.0 time-base, 40 hours per week. That's schedule info. Should we create a Schedule section? The instruction says include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state 40 hours per week. So we could include a Schedule section with that info. However we already have appointment details in About the role; we could also put schedule there. But to follow instruction, we could create a Schedule section with "Full-time, 40 hours per week (1.0 time-base)". However we must avoid filler. It's specific. So we can add Schedule section. But we need to prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Having many sections may be thin. However we have substantive content for each: About the role (intro + appointment details), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (edu/exp), Skills (KSAs), Benefits (list), Pay (salary range), Schedule (hours). That's 7 sections. Might be okay but we could combine some: e.g., put Schedule and Pay together under a "Compensation and Schedule" section? But headings are prescribed: we can use Pay and Schedule separately. The instruction says use those headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid combining, but we should follow the pattern. It says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we might combine some if they'd be thin. Let's evaluate each: - About the role: includes intro about CSULB, location, lifestyle, plus appointment details (duration, classification, time base). That's substantive. - Responsibilities: list of duties (multiple bullet points). Substantive. - Requirements: education and experience. That's one sentence but still substantive. - Skills: knowledge, skills, abilities list. Substantive. - Benefits: list of benefits. Substantive. - Pay: salary ranges. Substantive. - Schedule: 40 hours per week. That's relatively thin but still specific. Could be combined with Pay under a "Compensation and Schedule" section but not in allowed headings. However we could put schedule info in About the role paragraph (appointment details). That would make About the role more substantive and avoid a thin Schedule section. The instruction says we can include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. It does have schedule info (40 hours/week). But we could embed it elsewhere and not create a separate Schedule heading. The instruction says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". It doesn't forbid omitting a section if we place its content elsewhere. So we could omit Schedule section and put the schedule info in About the role or Responsibilities. That would reduce number of sections. Thus final sections: About the role (including intro, appointment details, schedule), Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Now we need to format. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown code fences. We'll produce something like:

    About the role

    ... intro ...

    ... appointment details ...

    Then

    Responsibilities

    • ...
    • ...
    Similarly for Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting that we keep. Let's extract substantive content. Intro about CSULB: "Join the vibrant community at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB)! Located just three miles from the Pacific Ocean, CSULB offers an inspiring workplace and an exceptional Southern California lifestyle. Our 322-acre campus—one of the largest in the CSU system—serves more than 42,000 students and is known for its commitment to student success, innovation, and impactful academic and research initiatives. As a member of the CSULB community, you’ll experience a dynamic environment filled with cultural landmarks, collaborative energy, and opportunities to make a meaningful difference. Work-life balance thrives here. Long Beach blends coastal relaxation with urban vibrancy, offering miles of beaches, year-round sunshine, a thriving arts and food scene, and convenient access to both Los Angeles and Orange County. It’s an ideal place to grow your career while enjoying everything Southern California has to offer. Join the California State University (CSU) and explore career opportunities that advance student success and strengthen California’s future—offering competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and professional growth." We keep that as prose. Appointment details: "Department Enrollment Services - Financial Aid Time Base 1.0 time-base, 40 hours per week. Duration of Appointment This is a temporary position for 1 year with no permanent status granted. Temporary assignments may expire prior to the ending date. Classification Student Services Professional II" We need to preserve that exactly. Could be two sentences: "Department Enrollment Services - Financial Aid Time Base 1.0 time-base, 40 hours per week." Then "Duration of Appointment This is a temporary position for 1 year with no permanent status granted. Temporary assignments may expire prior to the ending date." Then "Classification Student Services Professional II". We'll combine into a paragraph. Now Responsibilities: We have a paragraph before Key Responsibilities: "The Financial Aid Counselor/Program Coordinator performs a variety of processing and specialized financial aid functions to facilitate administration of financial aid programs and delivery of funds to students in support of access and student success. Activities include determining eligibility; awarding aid; facilitating problem solving with students and parents; and making professional judgment decisions regarding student aid eligibility. The counselor provides leadership and program oversight over an assigned area of specialty; adjudicates appeals; and provides training to other staff. Furthermore, this position provides services that are equitable, inclusive, and culturally sensitive to enhance the quality of campus life. This position uses a student-centered and equity-minded approach in all communication and service efforts, whether in-person, via phone or through written correspondence." Then Key Responsibilities with subheadings: "Counseling and Outreach: Promote an environment of collaboration and service excellence by providing a broad range of student and family-facing financial aid services, including counseling and outreach activities."
