Microsoft Security - Security Operations & Threat Protection
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We need to extract content.
The posting includes:
- About Slalom (intro) – maybe not needed as heading? The instruction: 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 (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. We need to preserve all substantive information; remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. Let's parse the content: - About Slalom: description of company. Could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About Slalom" is company overview. Might be considered "About the role"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we could have "About the role" heading containing description of role (the "About the Role" section). The "About Slalom" could be omitted? It's not required but maybe we can include as a short paragraph under "About the role"? But we must preserve all substantive information. The "About Slalom" is substantive about company; but not required heading. Could we put it under a
before any heading? The instruction says output ONLY the HTML fragment; we can include
elements not under headings? Probably yes. But they said use
for section headings (list). It doesn't forbid other elements. We can include a
for company overview before headings. But we need to avoid boilerplate like EEO etc. So we will strip those sections. Let's identify substantive sections: - About Slalom (company description) - About the Role (role description) - What You'll Do (Responsibilities) – includes bullet points: Build the Microsoft SecOps Capability (with subpoints), Deliver Client Outcomes (subpoints) - Required Qualifications (with sub-sections: Microsoft Security Expertise, Architecture, Go-to-Market) - Preferred Certifications (list) - About Us (company culture) – maybe we can include as "About Us" but not in heading list; could be omitted? It's substantive but not required heading; we could include as a
after headings. - Compensation and Benefits (Pay and Benefits) – includes salary ranges, bonus, benefits description. - EEO and Accommodations (boilerplate) – remove. - Also note: "We will accept applicants until 10/15 date, or until the position is filled." That's application instruction; remove. - "Please note, this recipient is not able to support recruitment inquiries beyond this purpose." Also remove. - "If you have questions or concerns about the pay range or other compensation information in this posting, please contact us at: peopleone@slalom.com." That's contact info; maybe we can keep as minor metadata? It's not boilerplate but it's application instruction? Might be considered contact for compensation questions; could be kept as a short
maybe under Pay? But instruction says fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Could include as a
after Pay section. We need to avoid duplication. Now decide headings: - About the role: we can combine "About the Role" description (the paragraph after "About the Role") plus maybe "About Slalom"? But "About Slalom" is company overview; maybe we can put that as a separate
before heading. - Responsibilities: from "What You'll Do" – we can make a Responsibilities section with
- for each bullet and sub-bullets.
- Requirements: maybe combine Required Qualifications and Preferred Certifications? The instruction lists Requirements and Qualifications as separate possible headings. We could have Requirements (maybe for required qualifications) and Qualifications (maybe for preferred certifications). Or we could have Requirements covering both required and preferred? But better to follow typical: Requirements = required qualifications; Qualifications = preferred certifications. We'll do that.
- Skills: maybe we can extract skills from required qualifications? Could be redundant. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. If we have Requirements and Qualifications, maybe we can skip Skills unless there is explicit skills list. There's no separate skills list; we could omit Skills.
- Benefits: we have benefits description in Compensation and Benefits section. We'll make Benefits heading.
- Pay: we have salary range details. We'll make Pay heading.
- Schedule: not mentioned; omit.
Now we need to ensure we don't include headings with filler text like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now craft HTML.
