We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings using

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Must not create sections like Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes salary range: "The hiring salary range for this position is $58,500.00 - $60,000.00." So we can include Pay section. Benefits: The posting mentions "Excelsior University offers competitive compensation and a generous benefits package that includes paid time off, retirement, and excellent health insurance." That's benefits info. So we can include Benefits section. Schedule: Not explicitly stated; there is mention of travel, weekend/overnight, occasional weekend/evening hours. Could infer schedule but not explicit. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. For Schedule, we have mention of travel, weekend/overnight, occasional weekend/evening hours. That's not a schedule description like full-time/part-time, but could be considered schedule info? Might be considered schedule. However they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting does state occasional weekend/evening hours and overnight travel, which is about schedule. So we could include Schedule section with that info. But we need to be careful: they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could combine some info. We need sections: About the role (maybe a summary), Responsibilities (DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES), Qualifications (including required and preferred), Skills (maybe from qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. Use

for each section heading. We must use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details from the posting. We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should cut out the equal opportunity statements, application instructions like "If you experience any issues...", "Interested candidates should submit...", "Please submit requested information by clicking the Apply Now button", etc. Also remove duplicated lines like the repeated EEO statement. We need to keep substantive info: description of team, primary function, duties, qualifications, preferred qualifications, salary range, benefits info, travel requirements, location preferences, etc. We must not invent or summarize away detail: we need to keep specifics like "Assist in coordinating, executing, and supporting the team and university strategic plan, under the oversight of the Director of Military Outreach and Veteran Partnerships." etc. We need to format duties as a list

    • . Similarly qualifications as list. We need to decide what goes into each section. Potential sections: - About the role: could include description of team and primary function. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Qualifications: required qualifications. - Preferred Qualifications: maybe separate or combine under Qualifications? Could have a subsection but we only have headings for Qualifications and Skills. Could put preferred under Qualifications as separate list? Or we could have a Skills section for skills like interpersonal, communication, etc. But we have many skill-like items in qualifications. Might be better to have Qualifications (required) and Skills (preferred/skillset). However the instruction: "Use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." They gave examples but we can choose which to include. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for About the role (team description, primary function). Responsibilities (duties). Qualifications (required). Skills (maybe we can extract skill items: interpersonal, oral, written communication, presentation skills, organizational, analytical, decision making, problem-solving, project management, creativity, enthusiasm, openness to innovation, ability to master wide body of knowledge, self-discipline, ability to work independently, proficiency with MS Office, knowledge of Salesforce/SharePoint a plus, ability to travel, etc.). Benefits (paid time off, retirement, excellent health insurance). Pay (salary range). Schedule (travel, weekend/overnight, occasional weekend/evening hours). Also location preference: western U.S. Western Arizona, Nevada, California, or Southern Oregon. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? Not in list; we could incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities? Probably include in About the role as location requirement. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must not include application instructions. We must not include duplicated lines. Let's extract substantive paragraphs. Original text: "The Strategic Partnerships & Alliances Team at Excelsior University is dedicated to cultivating purposeful collaborations through partnerships and strategic alliances with corporations, associations, government entities, military installations, veteran organizations, other academic institutions, and likeminded organizations serving those seeking to complete a post-secondary degree or certificate. Excelsior University is an accredited, not-for-profit distance learning institution founded in 1971 focused on providing educational opportunity to adult learners, with an emphasis on those underrepresented in higher education.The primary function of the Military and Veteran Partnership Specialist position is to ensure a robust pipeline of prospective students by enhancing awareness of Excelsior University among local military installations, surrounding communities and veteran partners.

Then "The hiring salary range for this position is $58,500.00 - $60,000.00. The hiring salary range above represents the University's good faith estimate at the time of posting." Then "Application Information ..." which we remove. Then "Excelsior University offers competitive compensation and a generous benefits package that includes paid time off, retirement, and excellent health insurance." Then EEO statements etc. We need to keep the benefits sentence. Now we need to format. We'll produce:

      About the role

      ... description ...

      Maybe include location requirement and remote/home office possibility. Then

      Responsibilities

      • ... each duty ...
      We need to split the duties into separate list items. The duties list is long; we can break at each sentence that starts with a verb. Let's parse: "Assist in coordinating, executing, and supporting the team and university strategic plan, under the oversight of the Director of Military Outreach and Veteran Partnerships." "Collaborate with other Strategic Partnerships and Alliances team members to ensure best use of resources and best practices." "Build and manage relationships with various military and veteran stakeholders in the designated area and act as a point of contact and advocate."

"Identify specific needs of prospective students and triage student issues to appropriate parties." "Engage with military installation and veteran partner contacts to identify and organize recruiting and engagement events, both face-to-face and virtual, such as education fairs, benefits fairs, transfer fairs, webinars, direct enrollment events, and other prospective student facing engagements." "Generate inquiries that are a good fit for Excelsior and provide general intake for prospective students via personal virtual or in-person interviews." "Provide support to students and work collaboratively with Strategic Partnerships and Alliances team members and Excelsior staff, as necessary, to assist students through the admissions and advising pipeline." "Upon qualifying the student inquiry, provide unofficial evaluations to students to assist in making an informed enrollment decision." "Track all military installation and veteran partner and student activities via Salesforce and ensure all final documents are posted in SharePoint." "Generate and provide reports and updates to military installations and veteran partners as needed." "Prepare and deliver information via presentations, webinars, and one on one interactions to military installations and veteran partner contacts and students on Excelsior University programs, products, services, military tuition assistance, and veteran benefits." "Engage with military installation and veteran partners and students via social media, newsletters, direct mail, email campaigns and/or other communication vehicles as per Excelsior guidelines and best practices." "Proactively reach out to interested military installations and veteran partners in the area to provide information about Excelsior University and create new pipelines of prospective students."

"Ensure consistency with Excelsior’s brand with military installations, veteran partners, students, and team members to ensure delivery of a consistent, branded, and accurate message."
