We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to these headings. The "We’re Looking For Someone Who:" seems like qualifications or skills. Could be part of Skills or Requirements. But we already have Skills Needed later. Might be better to treat as part of Skills.
But we also have a separate "Skills Needed:" list later.
Let's list all bullet points:
From "We’re Looking For Someone Who:" (4 items)
From "Key Responsibilities:" with subheadings:
Academic Program and Policy Expertise:
- Serve as a subject-matter expert on multiple and complex Computer Science curricula and degree plans, including the BS/MS degree program; serve as a liaison to graduate school partners for the BS/MS program

Then "Benefits Of Being An Advisor At Purdue" paragraph (multiple sentences). We'll capture.
Then "What We're Looking For Education and Experience Required:" paragraph: Must have an earned graduate or professional degree in a field relevant to the position; Equivalencies are not accepted for this position.
Then "Skills Needed:" (second occurrence):
- Demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion

Then "Additional Information:" includes:

- FLSA: Exempt (Not Eligible for Overtime)
- Retirement Eligibility: Defined Contribution Waiting Period
- Benefit Statement: Purdue University offers a substantial Benefit Package including medical, dental, and vision insurance as well as a generous paid time off package for sick and vacation days -Summary of Benefits for Professional levels 1-3, Management levels 1-2 - Human Resources - Purdue University.
- Career Stream Professional 3 Pay Band S060
- Job Code #20002153
- Career path maker link.
We need to decide which sections to include.
We have About the role (Job Summary). Responsibilities (the key responsibilities). Requirements (education and experience). Skills (combined skills needed lists). Benefits (benefits paragraph plus maybe additional benefit statement). Possibly Qualifications could be education+experience but we already have Requirements.
We should not include Pay or Schedule.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove "Additional Information" items that are boilerplate: not sponsor employment authorization, background check, FLSA, Retirement Eligibility maybe considered boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The FLSA, background check, sponsorship are likely legal boilerplate. Should we remove them? Probably yes. The Benefit Statement about medical etc is substantive benefit info, we keep. The Pay Band maybe not needed.
Thus we will keep Benefits section containing the benefits paragraph and the Benefit Statement about medical/dental/vision and PTO.
We'll also keep the Advisor Certification Program etc.
Now we need to format.
We'll produce:
for section headings. It didn't forbid using other headings like
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Job Title: Senior Academic Advisor (already shown elsewhere). We should not repeat. We have Job Summary paragraph: "Join Our Team – Academic Advisor, College of Science | West Lafayette, Indiana ..." That's prose. Then "We’re Looking For Someone Who:" bullet list? Actually it's a list of statements: Builds authentic..., Provides accurate..., Connects..., Promotes... Those are bullet points. Then "Key Responsibilities:" with subheadings: Academic Program and Policy Expertise, Advising and Student Success, Communication and Collaboration, Leadership and Professional Development. Under each subheading there are bullet points. Then "Skills Needed:" bullet list. Then "Benefits Of Being An Advisor At Purdue" paragraph describing benefits: Advisor Certification Program, Inclusive Advising initiative, institutional commitment to advising ratio 225:1, membership in PACADA. Then "What We're Looking For Education and Experience Required:" bullet list? Actually it's a paragraph: Must have an earned graduate or professional degree... Equivalencies not accepted. Then "Skills Needed:" again? Actually after that there is another "Skills Needed:" list: Demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, Strong proficiency in Microsoft Outlook..., Excellent verbal..., Ability to..., etc. Then "Preferred:" bullet list. Then "Additional Information:" includes: Purdue University will not sponsor employment authorization..., A background check..., FLSA: Exempt..., Retirement Eligibility..., Benefit Statement: Purdue University offers a substantial Benefit Package... (some duplication). Also Career Stream Professional 3 Pay Band S060 Job Code #20002153 Career path maker link. We need to include Pay and Schedule sections only if posting actually states them. There's mention of Pay Band S060 but not actual salary numbers. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits we have content, so we can include Benefits section. Pay: we have Pay Band S060 but not actual pay amount; is that considered stating pay? It says "Career Stream Professional 3 Pay Band S060". That is a pay band but not a specific salary. The instruction says 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 pay band is somewhat specific but still not a numeric range. Might be considered stating pay? It's ambiguous. Safer to not include Pay section because it's not a concrete salary. Similarly Schedule not mentioned. Thus sections: About the role (maybe from Job Summary?), Responsibilities, Requirements (Education and Experience), Skills (maybe combine Skills Needed and Skills Needed again?), Benefits, Qualifications? Actually Qualifications could be education and experience. We'll follow typical headings: About the role (Job Summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (Education and Experience), Skills (Skills Needed + Diversity etc), Benefits. We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. We'll combine similar bullet lists. Let's extract content. Job Summary paragraph: "Join Our Team – Academic Advisor, College of Science | West Lafayette, Indiana The broad scope of science at Purdue is our strength. The College of Science seeks an academic advising professional who will contribute to administrative excellence and exemplary advising services for Computational Science students at our Purdue West Lafayette location. If you desire to significantly impact the Purdue undergraduate experience in a collaborative team environment where your strengths and contributions are valued, this may be the professional experience you’ve been working towards.

About the role
. Next "We’re Looking For Someone Who:" bullet list: - Builds authentic, respectful relationships with students using an asset-based approach that values their identities, strengths, and goals - Provides accurate, proactive, and student-centered guidance grounded in university policies and data to support informed decision-making and success - Connects students with campus resources and opportunities while helping them navigate university systems with confidence - Promotes student well-being, belonging, and success while maintaining confidentiality and upholding university policies These could be part of Responsibilities or maybe a separate section like "Expectations". But we have Responsibilities heading; we can include these as part of Responsibilities or maybe as part of "About the role". However the instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to these headings. The "We’re Looking For Someone Who:" seems like qualifications or skills. Could be part of Skills or Requirements. But we already have Skills Needed later. Might be better to treat as part of Skills.
