Microsoft Active Directory & Entra ID Engineer III

Avnet · Chandler, AZ · 1 mo ago
Full-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have "Who We Are" description, then "Description" (role description), then "Key Responsibilities", then "Required Essential Skills & Experience", then "Desirable Experience", then "Preferred Certifications", then "Personal Attributes", then "What We Offer". Also there is mention of "Benefits listed above may vary..." and other details. We need to follow rules: Use

for section headings (e.g. 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 (the page already shows it) and 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. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to decide which sections to include. The posting includes: Who We Are (company overview), Description (role overview), Key Responsibilities (list), Required Essential Skills & Experience (list), Desirable Experience (list), Preferred Certifications (list), Personal Attributes (list), What We Offer (benefits list). Also there is mention of "Benefits listed above may vary depending on the nature of your employment with Avnet." That's a note but we can include within What We Offer. We should not include sections like Pay or Schedule because not specified. Also we should not include "About the role" heading? The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). But we can choose headings that match content. For "Who We Are" maybe we can use

    About Avnet

    or

    Who We Are

    . The examples include "About the role". But we can use any appropriate heading. Probably better to use headings that reflect sections: "About Avnet", "Role Overview", "Key Responsibilities", "Required Skills & Experience", "Desirable Experience", "Preferred Certifications", "Personal Attributes", "Benefits". However we need to avoid filler. All these sections have substantive content. We need to use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose we use

      . So for each section we can have a heading

      then either

      or

        . We must not repeat job title as heading. Not needed. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, accommodation contact, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove "Applicants for this position must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa at this time" - that's maybe minor metadata but could be folded into a short

        or dropped. It's substantive? It's a requirement about work authorization. Could be considered part of Requirements. But we already have Required Essential Skills & Experience; we could include that as a bullet under Required? However the instruction says "fold minor metadata into a short

        or drop it." This is about work authorization and visa sponsorship. Might be considered minor metadata. We could include a short

        after the role overview. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; is this substantive? It's a requirement for applicants. Might be considered substantive. However the instruction says "fold minor metadata into a short

        or drop it." So we could put it in a

        under a section like "Eligibility". But we don't have a heading for eligibility. Could add a short paragraph after the role overview. But we also have "This position will have access to ITAR product and therefore be authorized to access product. This position requires the employee to be a U.S. Citizen or National, or a lawful permanent resident as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(20), or a protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)." That's also eligibility/citizenship requirement. That's substantive. We could include that as a short

        under a section like "Eligibility Requirements". However we already have Required Essential Skills & Experience; we could add bullets for citizenship requirement? But that's not a skill. Might be better to have a separate short paragraph after the responsibilities or before benefits. Given the instruction to prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones, we could combine eligibility into the Required Skills & Experience section as a note, but that might be mixing. However we can add a

        after the Required Skills & Experience heading but before the list? Actually we need to use

        • for any list. So we could have a

          for prose (like eligibility note) and then a

            for skills. Thus structure:

            About Avnet

            ... (Who We Are)

            Role Overview

            ... (Description)

              ... each required skill as

            Preferred Certifications

              ... each attribute as

            Benefits

              ... each benefit as

            Benefits listed above may vary depending on the nature of your employment with Avnet.

            We must not include Pay or Schedule sections. We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information from the original. Let's extract the content.
