for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- About the role: The position overview description: "The department of Communication Studies is seeking a Graduate Program Professional to provide primary support for the operations, advising, and admissions of the doctoral program in Communication Studies. This position is expected to advise and make sound recommendations to the Director of Graduate Studies (DGS), Department Chair, and Administrator on curriculum management, graduate program student services, and operations management, while also appropriately consulting with and advising graduate students on employment/student experience. Communication Studies comprises 12 faculty, 15 instructional P&A staff, 4 office staff, 3 Casual employees, 2 student workers, and 22 graduate students in the Ph.D. program. This is an in-person position with some hybrid flexibility. The current expectation is to work in the office four days per week, though this is subject to change based on the needs of the department. Work hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM. Appointment Details: This is a 100%-time, 12-month, Civil Service continuous position. This position reports to the Administrator."
That's about the role.
- Responsibilities: The bullet list under "Job Responsibilities" with percentages and details. Should be a list.
- Requirements: The posting has "Qualifications Required Qualifications: Bachelor's degree or equivalent plus two years relevant experience or A combination of education and relevant experience to equal at least six years." That's required qualifications.
- Preferred Qualifications: list of items.
- Skills: Not explicitly listed but maybe we can infer from preferred qualifications: experience working with faculty, staff, students, administrators; experience with admissions and graduate student programs; proven financial, administrative and operations skills; commitment to and experience collaborating with diverse individuals and groups; demonstrated ability to analyze & communicate complex issues from multiple frames of reference and perspectives. Those could be considered skills. But we need to only include sections if posting has real, specific content. There's no explicit "Skills" heading, but we could treat "Preferred Qualifications" as skills? However the instruction says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content to these headings. "Qualifications" likely refers to required qualifications. "Skills" could be derived from preferred qualifications or other skill statements. We'll include Skills section with bullet list of those preferred qualifications (or skills). Ensure we don't invent content; we can list those as skills.
- Benefits: The posting includes "Pay And Benefits" section with pay range and then a paragraph about benefits: "Please visit the Office of Human Resources website for more information regarding benefit eligibility. The University Offers a Comprehensive Benefits Package That Includes Competitive wages, paid holidays, and generous time off Continuous learning opportunities through professional training and degree-seeking programs supported by the Regents Tuition Benefit Program Low-cost medical, dental, and pharmacy plans Healthcare and dependent care flexible spending accounts University HSA contributions Disability and employer-paid life insurance Employee wellbeing program Excellent retirement plans with employer contribution Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) opportunity Financial counseling services Employee Assistance Program with eight sessions of counseling at no cost Employee Transit Pass with free or reduced rates in the Twin Cities metro area While our salary ranges provide a framework, it is important to note that most of the time, the initial pay may not reach the maximum of the range. This approach ensures that compensation reflects the value and unique contributions of each candidate while maintaining equity within our organization. As part of our commitment to fair and equitable compensation, please be aware that the salary offered to incoming candidates will be based on their individual credentials and experience."
We need to separate Pay and Benefits sections. Pay: Pay Range: $23.00 - $29.00 per hour; depending on education/qualifications/experience Time Appointment: 100% Appointment Position Type: Civil-Service. Also mention that initial pay may not reach max.
Benefits: list of benefits as bullet points.
Schedule: The posting includes work hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM; expectation to work in office four days per week, some hybrid flexibility. So we can put schedule.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, diversity, employment requirements, etc. Remove those.
Also remove "How To Apply", "Diversity", "Employment Requirements", "About University Of Minnesota". Also remove "Job Responsibilities - the employer reserves the right to change or assign other duties to this position:" maybe keep responsibilities but not that sentence? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The sentence about employer reserves right is part of responsibilities heading? It's a note; could be considered boilerplate? It's a standard disclaimer; but it's part of the posting. Might be considered not substantive? It's a generic statement; but we could keep it as part of responsibilities? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. That sentence is not exactly boilerplate but it's a disclaimer about duties; could be considered part of responsibilities. I'd keep it as part of responsibilities maybe as a note.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll structure:
About the role
... (prose)
Responsibilities
- Curriculum Management – 35%: ... (the detailed responsibilities)
...
But we need to preserve all substantive information. The responsibilities have multiple bullet points each with sub-bullets. We could flatten into list items each representing a responsibility area. Could also nest lists? The instruction says use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid nested lists, but we can keep simple.
We'll produce list items for each major responsibility area (Curriculum Management, Graduate Program and Student Services Operations Management, Academic Advising, Policy Development & Implementation). Within each we can include sub-details as sentences.
We must not invent or summarize away detail; we need to preserve all details. So we need to include each sub-point.
We could do:
- Curriculum Management – 35%
- In collaboration with Administrator, Department Chair, and DGS, develop the department curriculum annually, to include creation of records in the university system (CCS), partnering with faculty and instructional staff to ensure logistical details are accurately managed, and assisting the DGS and department Chair in managing/balancing course enrollments.
- Oversee graduate assistant appointments, including verifying funding sources and complying with program and employment policies.
- Oversee undergraduate student appointments, including recruitment and assignment tasks.
- Prepare and submit course and degree revisions or new offerings.
- Analyze the curricular needs of other university units that require communication courses for their degree programs and maintain the communication curriculum to ensure accessibility.
- In collaboration with the Administrator and DGS, establish and maintain the schedule of funding allocations to satisfy support obligations for graduate students and support the department’s curriculum needs for graduate assistants and instructors using all available funds.
...
But nested lists may be okay. However instruction: "Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". It doesn't say we cannot nest. We'll keep nested for clarity.
Similarly for Graduate Program and Student Services Operations Management – 35% with many subpoints.
Academic Advising – 20% with subpoints.
Policy Development & Implementation – 10% with subpoints.
Now Requirements: required qualifications: "Bachelor's degree or equivalent plus two years relevant experience or A combination of education and relevant experience to equal at least six years." We'll put in
maybe.
Qualifications: maybe we treat required qualifications as Qualifications? Actually we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings. The instruction list includes both Requirements and Qualifications. We need to decide what goes where. Usually Requirements = required qualifications; Qualifications = preferred qualifications? But they also have Skills. Let's map:
- Requirements: required qualifications (Bachelor's degree or equivalent plus two years relevant experience or combination equal to six years).
- Qualifications: maybe "Preferred Qualifications" list.
- Skills: maybe the skill statements from preferred qualifications? But we already used preferred qualifications for Qualifications. Could treat Qualifications as both required and preferred? But we need to avoid duplication.
Better: Use Requirements for required qualifications. Use Qualifications for preferred qualifications (the list). Use Skills for the skill statements like "Proven financial, administrative and operations skills. Commitment to and experience collaborating with diverse individuals and groups. Demonstrated ability to analyze & communicate complex issues from multiple frames of reference and perspectives." However those are also part of preferred qualifications. But we can split: Preferred Qualifications list includes experience working with faculty, staff, students, administrators; experience working with admissions and graduate student programs; proven financial, administrative and operations skills; commitment to and experience collaborating with diverse individuals and groups; demonstrated ability to analyze & communicate complex issues from multiple frames of reference and perspectives.
We could put the first two items (experience working with faculty...; experience working with admissions...) under Qualifications, and the skill statements under Skills. That seems reasonable.
Now Benefits: list of benefits as bullet points.
Pay: Pay range and note about initial pay.
Schedule: Work hours and hybrid expectation.
Now we must ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", etc. We have specific content.
Now produce HTML.
Let's craft.
About the role paragraph: combine overview and appointment details.
Prose: "The department of Communication Studies is seeking a Graduate Program Professional to provide primary support for the operations, advising, and admissions of the doctoral program in Communication Studies.
