We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to parse the posting. The posting includes: - Intro about UWG (history, mission, etc.) This is not part of the job description but part of the posting. Should we include? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to include all substantive info from the posting. However we must format as HTML with sections headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The intro about UWG could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is typical for job description. But we have a lot of general university info. Could we put that under "About the role"? Possibly yes. Or we could create a separate section like "About the University" but not allowed headings list only those given. So we must fit content into those headings. The instruction: "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning those are examples, not exclusive? It says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect those headings. We should only include sections that have real content. So we need to map content to these sections. Let's identify sections: - About the role: could include job summary, description of role, mission, etc. The posting includes "Job Summary" paragraph describing the Lecturer in Criminology role. Also includes "Since 1906..." about UWG. That could be considered "About the role" or maybe separate but we can include under About the role. - Responsibilities: The posting does not explicitly list responsibilities beyond teaching, contributing to curriculum, victim services certificate, etc. There's mention: "The successful candidate will contribute to the Criminology Program's undergraduate curriculum, and will also contribute to the Program¿s Victim Services Certificate. Opportunities may also exist to contribute to other areas of the criminology curriculum based on the candidate's expertise and program needs. The successful candidate will demonstrate a commitment to student-centered teaching, experiential learning, and connecting criminological knowledge to contemporary issues and professional practice." That's more like responsibilities/duties. So we can put under Responsibilities. - Requirements: The posting has "Required Qualifications" list: master's degree or higher, demonstrated teaching experience, expertise in victimology, strong written and oral communication skills, commitment to undergraduate education and student success. That's requirements. - Qualifications: Could be "Preferred Qualifications": Ph.D., college-level teaching experience, professional experience in victim services etc., ability to contribute to additional areas. That's qualifications. - Skills: Could be derived from required/preferred qualifications like strong written and oral communication skills, etc. But we might combine with qualifications. However we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can combine Required and Preferred into Requirements and Qualifications sections. Skills maybe not needed if not explicit separate list. - Benefits: The posting includes a comprehensive total rewards package: health plans, wellness, retirement options, paid holidays, tuition assistance, fringe benefits, Acentra EAP, personal financial advising, Perks at Work, free recreation facility, discounted dining, etc. Also location info about Carrollton. That is benefits. - Pay: The posting says "Proposed SalarySalary is commensurate with experience." That's placeholder; we should NOT create Pay section if it's just "commensurate with experience" (filler). The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Since Pay is only "commensurate with experience" which is filler, we should not include Pay section. - Schedule: Not mentioned; no schedule info. So omit. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits. Possibly also Skills? But we can incorporate skills into Requirements/Qualifications. We need to use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (list), Qualifications (list), Benefits (list). For About the role, we can use prose

      . We must preserve all substantive information. Let's extract all substantive info from the posting and ensure we don't lose any. Let's copy the posting text and parse.
