Full-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes "About The Opportunity" which is about the role. So we can have

About the role

with paragraph(s) summarizing description. Then responsibilities: there is a "What You'll Do" section with bullet points. So we can have

Responsibilities

with
  • ... each bullet. Requirements: there is "Pay Grade: 15 Bachelor’s degree required A minimum of two (2) years of experience: Higher education Student Advising Any equivalent combination...". That's qualifications. Also "Knowledge, Skills & Abilities" list. So we can separate: Requirements (maybe education and experience) and Skills (knowledge, skills & abilities). Qualifications maybe same as requirements? The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to include. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education/experience), Skills (knowledge, skills & abilities), Benefits (detailed), Pay (Pay Grade: 15), Schedule (Full-time). Also maybe Qualifications could be merged with Requirements but we can include Qualifications if there is distinct content like "Preferred Qualifications". There's a "Preferred Qualifications" list. So we can have Qualifications heading for required qualifications? Actually "Requirements" could be required qualifications; "Qualifications" could be preferred? But we can include both: Requirements (required) and Qualifications (preferred). Or we could combine. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should avoid too many thin sections. We have many sections possible; but we need to include only those with real specific content. Let's see content: - About the role: paragraph(s) describing opportunity. Good. - Responsibilities: "What You'll Do" with many bullet points. Good. - Requirements: "Pay Grade: 15 Bachelor’s degree required A minimum of two (2) years of experience: Higher education Student Advising Any equivalent combination of related education and/or experience will be considered All qualifications must be met by the time of employment". That's specific. - Qualifications: "Preferred Qualifications Master’s degree in related field International Higher education experience International Student advising experience Experience working within immigration and travel regulations". That's specific. - Skills: "Knowledge, Skills & Abilities" list with many bullet points. Good. - Benefits: detailed list of benefits. Good. - Pay: "Pay Grade: 15". That's specific but maybe redundant with Requirements (already includes Pay Grade). However we could still include Pay section if we want. But to avoid thin sections, maybe we incorporate Pay into Requirements or omit Pay section. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state Pay Grade: 15, and Schedule Full-time. So we could include them but they'd be thin (just a line). Might be better to combine Pay and Schedule into a single section? But headings are prescribed; we could still include them but they'd be thin. The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we should omit Pay and Schedule sections because they are thin and could be included elsewhere? However the instruction says we must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state them, so we are allowed to create them, but we should prefer fewer sections. Could we embed Pay and Schedule within Benefits? Not really. Could we embed Pay within Requirements? Possibly. But the instruction says use headings for those sections if we include them. It doesn't forbid combining content under a heading that also includes other info. For example, under Requirements we could include Pay Grade and Schedule as part of that section. But then we wouldn't have separate Pay and Schedule headings. That would reduce number of sections. That seems aligned with preference for few substantive sections. Thus we will include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (includes education, experience, pay grade, schedule), Skills (knowledge, skills & abilities), Benefits. Possibly Qualifications (preferred) as separate section? Could combine with Requirements? But they are distinct: required vs preferred. Could combine under Requirements? Might be okay but then we lose distinction. However we could have a Qualifications section for preferred qualifications. That's another section but still substantive (list of 4 items). That's okay. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove "Looking for more retirement benefits information? Check out..." etc. That's part of benefits but maybe we keep the benefits description but remove the referral line? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The line "Looking for more retirement benefits information? Check out retirement health insurance benefits, retirement income, and FAQ’s." is not boilerplate but maybe considered extra info; but it's part of benefits description. It's not duplicated. Might keep? It's somewhat promotional but still part of benefits. I'd keep it as part of benefits paragraph. Also remove "Wellness programs" heading? Actually there is a "Wellness programs" line after benefits but no description. It appears as a heading but no content. That's likely a placeholder; we should not include it because no specific content. So we ignore. Now craft HTML. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details as close as possible. Let's extract About the role paragraph(s): "The Department of Global Affairs at West Virginia University is currently accepting applications for a (Hybrid) Education Abroad Program Coordinator. About The Opportunity Student Education Abroad advisors are responsible for providing one-on-one academic counsel (advising) to students in multiple advising pathway(s) (i.e. Exploratory; Behavioral and Social Sciences; STEM; Healthcare; Business and Communications; etc.) who want to incorporate a study abroad experience into their curriculum. This position analyzes academic information provided by students and synthesizes it with their social needs to create a curated list of program recommendations. Working closely with the Director of Education Abroad, international admissions, WVU academic departments and support units, and representatives of other university departments (including directors, advisers, and faculty and staff) this position develops a curated student abroad offer for each student that meets their academic, financial, and personal needs.

This position co-coordinates the unit’s initiatives on program outreach and recruitment and evaluates student needs, objectives, interests, and previous academic performance to direct students in the design and implementation of an achievable international academic plan." We'll put that in

    under About the role. Responsibilities: list from "What You'll Do". There are headings within that: Outgoing Program Management, Information Management and Coordination, Academic Advising and Compliance, Financial and Administrative Liaison, Policy and Procedure Communication, Information Sessions and Training Development, Professional Development and Event Planning. Each has bullet points. We'll combine all bullet points into a single

    • list, preserving each bullet as a line item. We need to keep the bullet text exactly as in posting. Let's extract bullet points: Outgoing Program Management: - Strategically oversees recruitment, advising, and administration of outgoing international programs - Analyzes and evaluates course offerings at international partner institutions, ensuring rigorous scrutiny of academic equivalencies and alignment. - Analyzes academic information provided by students and synthesizes it with their social needs to create a curated list of program recommendations. - Maintains continuous communication and support for outgoing students throughout the entire application process, demonstrating a proactive and engaged approach to ensuring a smooth and successful study abroad experience. - Serve as a support resource for students throughout their time abroad, offering guidance and addressing challenges. - Advises students on the academic implications of studying abroad, demonstrating discernment among numerous program options. - Cultivates and sustains strong partner relations abroad by actively engaging in virtual presentations for partner institutions, coordinating with international colleagues to promptly address student concerns, and ensuring seamless collaboration for a successful study abroad experience.

Note: some bullet points start with lowercase verbs (e.g., "Serve", "Tailor", "Develop") but we keep as is. Now Requirements: include education, experience, pay grade, schedule? We'll include education and experience and maybe note pay grade and schedule within same section. Text: "Pay Grade: 15 Bachelor’s degree required A minimum of two (2) years of experience:Higher education Student AdvisingAny equivalent combination of related education and/or experience will be consideredAll qualifications must be met by the time of employment" We need to preserve spacing? We'll just put as a paragraph. We could split into sentences: "Pay Grade: 15. Bachelor’s degree required. A minimum of two (2) years of experience: Higher education Student Advising. Any equivalent combination of related education and/or experience will be considered. All qualifications must be met by the time of employment." But we must not invent punctuation that changes meaning? Adding periods is okay as it's just formatting; but we should preserve the content. Adding periods doesn't change meaning. It's fine. Now Qualifications (preferred): "Master’s degree in related field International Higher education experience International Student advising experience Experience working within immigration and travel regulations" We'll put as
      • each. Now Skills: "Knowledge, Skills & Abilities" list: - Extensive cross-cultural experience and experience working with students of varying English language ability is essential. - Professional conduct and style are vital in serving students and interfacing with
