OTHRPart-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if there is real specific content. Must use for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to map content accordingly.
We have a job posting: Title: Track & Field/Cross Country Head Coach. The description includes about the college, mission, responsibilities, duties, qualifications, etc.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
We have content about the college (intro). Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the college"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should use those headings if content matches.
We have:
- About the role: could include overview of position, mission, etc. The posting includes description of role responsibilities etc. Could put under "About the role" a short paragraph summarizing the role.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (Essential Duties And Responsibilities). Use
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to map content accordingly.

- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications? Could combine? The instruction says separate sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Minimum Qualifications (requirements) and Preferred Qualifications (maybe qualifications). Also Preferred Coaching Experience could be under Skills? Or we could put under Skills.
- Skills: maybe list of preferred coaching experience areas.
- Benefits: Not mentioned. No benefits details. So we should NOT include Benefits section.
- Pay: Not mentioned. So no Pay section.
- Schedule: Not mentioned. So no Schedule section.
We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So omit Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. So no
Track & Field/Cross Country Head Coach
. We'll start with maybe About the role
then a paragraph summarizing role.
But we need to include the college description? That is about the institution, not the role. Could be part of About the role? Might be considered background. The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. The college description could go under About the role as context. Or we could create a separate section? Not in list. Probably include it in About the role paragraph.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO statement at end. Remove that.
Also remove duplicated lines.
Let's extract content:
Intro about SCC: "Founded in 1986, St. Charles Community College (SCC) has a reputation as one of the best two-year colleges in the state of Missouri. SCC's service area includes a six-county region with a population exceeding 540,000. SCC's main campus, located in Cottleville, has won architectural awards for its innovative, contemporary design. The college's Dardenne Creek Campus features the Center for Healthy Living and the Field to Table Institute. The Innovation West Campus located in Wentzville features the Regional Workforce Innovation Center. With a focus on innovation, St. Charles Community College is a leader in delivering high-quality education in a state-of-the-art learning environment. The success of SCC is rooted in the mission of serving the community. "Through academic excellence and industry partnership, we cultivate the talent, innovation, and leadership our students and community need to grow and succeed.""
Then role description: "The Track & Field/Cross Country Head Coach is responsible for the overall leadership, organization, administration, recruiting, training, and development of the St. Charles Community College men's and women's cross country and track & field programs. The Head Coach will provide a positive and competitive student-athlete experience while promoting academic achievement, personal development, sportsmanship, student-athlete welfare, and compliance with all St. Charles Community College, NJCAA, Region 16, and applicable conference policies and procedures. The successful candidate will be expected to recruit and retain qualified student-athletes, develop a competitive program, supervise assistant and volunteer coaches, manage day-to-day program operations, and represent St. Charles Community College Athletics professionally within the college and community."
Then "Essential Duties And Responsibilities" with subsections: Coaching and Program Leadership, Recruiting and Roster Development, Student-Athlete Academic Success, NJCAA and Institutional Compliance, Meet Scheduling and Competition Management, Budget and Equipment Management, Staff Supervision, Student-Athlete Health and Safety, Fundraising and Community Engagement, Communication and Administration.
Each subsection has bullet-like sentences (some are sentences). We need to convert to - items. Probably each sentence becomes a list item. We'll need to preserve all details.
Then "Minimum Qualifications" list: Bachelor's degree or equivalent. Previous coaching experience in cross country and/or track & field. Knowledge of track & field and cross-country training principles, competition rules, and safety practices. Demonstrated ability to recruit, motivate, develop, and supervise student-athletes. Strong communication, leadership, organizational, and interpersonal skills. Ability to work effectively with students from diverse backgrounds. Ability to work evenings and weekends and travel for competitions and recruiting activities. Ability to successfully complete required background checks and institutional training. Valid driver's license and ability to meet college transportation requirements when applicable.
Then "Preferred Qualifications": Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution. Previous collegiate coaching experience. Experience coaching multiple track & field event groups. Previous recruiting experience. Experience working within an NJCAA, NCAA, NAIA, or community college athletic program. Knowledge of NJCAA rules and eligibility requirements. Experience developing student-athletes for transfer to four-year institutions. CPR/AED and First Aid certification.
Then "Preferred Coaching Experience": list of areas: Cross country and distance events, Sprints and relays, Hurdles, Long jump and triple jump, High jump, Pole vault, Shot put, Discus, Hammer, Javelin, Strength and conditioning. Then note: "The Head Coach is not required to personally coach every event group but must demonstrate the ability to organize and supervise a complete track & field program and effectively utilize assistant and volunteer coaches."
Then "Physical Requirements": The position may require standing, walking, running, demonstrating athletic movements, lifting and moving athletic equipment, and working in indoor and outdoor environments under varying weather conditions. The position also requires the ability to travel with student-athletes and work extended hours during practices and competitions. Reasonable accommodations may be provided in accordance with applicable law.
Then "Additional Responsibilities": The Track & Field/Cross Country Head Coach will perform other duties as assigned by the Director of Athletics and will support the overall goals, operations, and mission of the St. Charles Community College Athletics Department. Will be subject to a criminal background check.
Then EEO statement: "St Charles Community College is an Equal Opportunity Employer" - remove.
We need to decide which sections to output.
We have:
- About the role: could include intro about SCC and role overview.
- Responsibilities: all duties under Essential Duties And Responsibilities.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications.
- Skills: Preferred Coaching Experience (maybe also Physical Requirements? Could be under Skills or maybe a separate section? Not in list. Could put Physical Requirements under Skills? But better to maybe include Physical Requirements under Skills? Or maybe we could create a section "Physical Requirements" but not in allowed headings. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings for sections; but we could also use other headings? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests those are examples; but we should likely stick to those. It also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should try to map content to those headings.
Thus we can have:
About the role
(includes college overview and role summary)
Responsibilities
(list of duties)
Requirements
(minimum qualifications)
Qualifications
(preferred qualifications)
Skills
(preferred coaching experience areas)
We could also include Physical Requirements under Skills? Or maybe we could add a short paragraph under Skills about physical requirements. But better to keep Skills as the coaching experience areas. Physical Requirements could be included under Responsibilities? Not really. Could be under Requirements? Not exactly. Could be under Qualifications? Not exactly. Could be omitted? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include Physical Requirements somewhere. Perhaps we can add a Skills
and include both coaching experience and physical requirements as list items. That would be okay: Skills section can contain both.
Alternatively, we could create a section "Physical Requirements" but not in the list; but the instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't say we cannot use other headings, but it's implied we should stick to those. Safer to stick to those.
Thus we will put Physical Requirements under Skills as list items.
Also Additional Responsibilities (perform other duties as assigned, background check) could be included under Responsibilities as a list item.
Now we need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. We'll not.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
Let's craft.
First, About the role: combine college overview and role summary.
Paragraph(s) maybe two
elements.
We'll include the college description and mission quote.
Then role overview: The Track & Field/Cross Country Head Coach is responsible for ... etc.
We'll put that in a

Now Responsibilities:
Responsibilities
then with - for each duty.
We need to break down the Essential Duties And Responsibilities subsections into list items.
Let's list them:

- Plan, organize, and conduct practices, workouts, strength and conditioning sessions, and competition preparation.
