OTHR$40k–$61k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have "About the University of Georgia" and "About The College/Unit/Department". The instructions: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). 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. We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also remove "Special Instructions to Applicants", "Contact Information", "Recruitment Contact", "Posting Specific Questions", "Applicant Documents Required Documents". Also remove EEO policy statement, USG Core Values Statement, etc. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have: - About the University of Georgia (description) - About The College/Unit/Department (description) - Posting Type, Retirement Plan, Employment Type, Benefits Eligibility, Full/Part time, Work Schedule, Additional Schedule Information, Advertised Salary, Posting Date, Open until filled, Closing Date, Proposed Starting Date, Location of Vacancy (Savannah Area) - these are metadata; we can fold into a short

maybe under a section like "Position Details" but not required headings. The instructions say we can fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Probably we should include a brief paragraph summarizing key info: full-time, schedule Tue-Sat 8-4:30 with occasional Mon, Sat, evening; salary range $40,409 - $60,613; location Savannah Area; posting date etc. But we should not invent headings like Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. It does state schedule and salary, so we can include those under appropriate headings: Schedule and Pay. Benefits: posting mentions Benefits Eligibility (Benefits Eligible) and Retirement Plan TRS or ORP. That's benefits info. So we can include Benefits section. Responsibilities: Duties/Responsibilities sections with percentages. We'll output as

  • items. Requirements/Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Also Knowledge, Skills, Abilities And/or Competencies. Also Physical Demands. Also some yes/no questions (driving, position of trust, etc.) but those are metadata; we could include under Requirements maybe. We should not include duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info. We need to avoid headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We'll produce sections: About the University, About the Department, Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe combine Minimum and Preferred), Skills/Knowledge/Abilities, Physical Demands, Schedule, Pay, Benefits. We need to use

    for each section heading. We must not include / tags. Let's extract content. About the University of Georgia paragraph: "Chartered by the state of Georgia in 1785, the University of Georgia is the birthplace of public higher education in America and is the state’s flagship university (https://www.uga.edu/). The proof is in our more than 240 years of academic and professional achievements and our continual commitment to higher education.

Volunteer program management experience. Effective verbal/written communication skills related to public outreach and education with non-scientists. Prior work with volunteer groups and activities. Ability to collaborate and work effectively with a small team of educators, researchers, interns, volunteers, and other public stakeholders." We could separate Minimum and Preferred but maybe combine into Qualifications section with subheadings? But only allowed headings are those listed; we could still use

    for Qualifications and then within that have

    for minimum and

      for preferred? But we must not invent headings not listed; we can still have paragraphs inside. Better: Provide Minimum Qualifications as a paragraph, Preferred Qualifications as a list.

No. Is having a P-Card an essential function? No. Does this position have direct interaction or care of children under the age of 18 or direct patient care? Yes. Does this position have Security Access? No. Credit and P-Card policy etc. These are metadata; we could include in a short paragraph under Requirements or maybe drop. Since they are substantive (e.g., driving responsibility, position of trust, interaction with children). We'll include them in a paragraph under Requirements maybe. Schedule: "The regular work schedule for this position is Tuesday – Saturday, 8-4:30, with occasional Monday, Saturday, and evening hours." Pay: "Advertised Salary $40,409 - $60,613" Benefits: "Employment Type Employee Benefits Eligibility Benefits Eligible Full/Part time Full Time Retirement Plan TRS or ORP". Also maybe mention Benefits Eligible. We'll create Benefits section with paragraph: "Full-time position; benefits eligible; retirement plan options TRS or ORP." We should also include location: Savannah Area. Could be in a short paragraph under Position Details but not required heading. We'll add a brief paragraph after the headings maybe as a general info paragraph before sections? The instructions: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

      or drop it. So we can have a short

      at top containing posting number, location, date etc. But we must not repeat job title. We'll include a short paragraph: "Posting Number S15767P; Location: Savannah Area; Posted 09/17/2026; Open until filled." That's minor metadata. Now produce HTML. Structure:

      Posting Number S15767P; Location: Savannah Area; Posted 09/17/2026; Open until filled.
