Instructional Aide
Spectrum Center Schools and Programs · Clovis, CA · 3 wk ago
On-siteEducation$20/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We have: Starting Rate: $20/hour => Pay section.
Environment: Special Education Program, Grades K-12 ... description => About the role.
Responsibilities: listed after "Responsibilities Include:" then many bullet-like sentences separated by periods? Actually they are separated by periods but we can treat as list items. We'll create
- each responsibility.
Qualifications Required: list of qualifications. We'll put under Qualifications (maybe also Requirements). The posting has "Qualifications Required:" then bullet-like sentences separated by periods. We'll treat as list.
Skills: Not explicitly separate; qualifications include skills. Could combine but we can still have Skills section if we extract skill statements. But better to follow instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Possibly also Requirements? But Qualifications covers requirements. We'll not duplicate.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must include all details from posting.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. At end there is copyright line and note about benefit plans may vary. That's boilerplate? It's a note about benefits; maybe keep as part of Benefits? It's a disclaimer. Might be considered legal boilerplate; but it's about benefits eligibility. Might keep as a short p after benefits? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The copyright line is likely legal boilerplate; we should remove it. The note "*Benefit plans and eligibility requirements may vary based on role and employment status." is also a disclaimer; could be considered legal. Safer to remove.
We also need to remove duplicated lines. There's none.
We need to format as HTML fragment only.
Let's extract content.
About the role: The paragraph after environment description: "Spectrum Center Schools and Programs, a growing, dynamic organization with a social mission to offer hope is seeking an Instructional Aide to join our award-winning Special Education team and perform meaningful work in a culture that welcomes innovation, encourages creative expression and offers limitless potential for personal and professional satisfaction!

We need to keep all that. Might split into paragraphs.

Then description about Spectrum Center Schools and Programs division etc. That's more about company; could be part of About the role? It's after qualifications. It's not a requirement. Could be part of About the role (company description). We'll include as a paragraph after qualifications maybe under About the role? But we already have About the role earlier. Could add another paragraph under About the role describing company. However we must not duplicate headings. We can keep About the role as one section with multiple paragraphs.
Thus About the role will include the initial descriptive paragraph plus the company description paragraph.

Pay: Starting Rate: $20/hour.
Schedule: Not explicitly stated. There's "School Hours and Paid Holiday Schedule" under benefits but not schedule. No explicit schedule like full-time/part-time. So we should not create Schedule section.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
We need to use
for each section heading. Inside each section, use
for prose,
- for lists.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft.
We'll need to escape any HTML special characters? The text includes apostrophes, ampersands, etc. Should be fine as plain text.
We'll produce:
