Given posting:
Location: Syracuse, NY (100% in the office) – location info, maybe not a heading.
"Are you a dynamic self-starter? Do you have legal experience? Are you excited about the opportunity to join an innovative, growing law firm that has been successful for more than 165 years?" – intro.
"Role Harris Beach Murtha is in search of an Office Administrative Assistant to join our Syracuse, NY office. You will thrive in this role if you have:" then bullet list of requirements: "3+ years of legal administrative support experience", "A sense of accountability for working independently and proactively", "Exceptional oral and written communication, including excellent spelling, grammar, punctuation, form, and style", "Excellent multitasking and time management abilities", "Proficiency with MS Office, scanning, and profiling of legal documents", "Superior client service and listening skills for anticipating needs of clients and attorneys". This is a list of requirements/qualifications.
Then "Responsibilities" heading appears: "The Office Administrative Assistant is responsible for hospitality, administrative assistance and coverage, workflow overflow, document preparation, scanning/profile, word processing, and more." Then bullet list of duties: "Do you have the DRIVE and DESIRE to:" then list items: Greet clients..., Manage phone calls..., Provide daily assistance..., Organize office copy centers..., Learn the nuances..., Perform other administrative tasks..., Assist with other duties as needed.
Then "Harris Beach Murtha Recognizes Everyone Has a Right To Be Included.

Could be part of "Skills"? Might be considered "Qualifications" or "Requirements"? But we can treat as part of "About the role" or maybe "Qualifications". However we need to decide sections.
Then: "Harris Beach Murtha is not accepting candidate submissions from recruiting agencies for this position during the first two weeks after posting. Following this period, agencies with an active fee agreement with the firm may reach out to our internal recruitment team at resumes@harrisbeachmurtha.com to inquire about potential collaboration for this position."

Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put firm description under "About the role"? Not exactly. Maybe we can treat as "About the role" includes description of role and firm? The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use those exact headings. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content for it.
Thus we need sections:
- About the role: could contain the introductory paragraph describing role and firm? The posting includes "Role Harris Beach Murtha is in search of an Office Administrative Assistant to join our Syracuse, NY office." plus maybe the description of firm? Might be better to put firm description under "About the role" or maybe we can omit if not fitting. But we need to preserve all substantive information; we cannot drop firm description. So we need to place it somewhere. The allowed headings do not include "About the firm" but we could put it under "About the role" as it's about the role within the firm. Or we could create a separate section not in list? The instruction says use those headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect us to use those headings only. So we should map content to those.
Thus:
- About the role: include description of role and maybe firm overview.
- Responsibilities: list duties.
- Requirements: maybe the bullet list of "You will thrive in this role if you have:" (experience, accountability, communication, multitasking, proficiency, client service). That's requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe similar? Could be overlapping. But we could treat the bullet list as Requirements, and maybe Qualifications could be empty; we should not create empty sections. So we skip Qualifications if no distinct content.
- Skills: maybe we could extract skills like MS Office, scanning, profiling, client service, communication, multitasking, time management. But those are already in requirements. Could create Skills section with those.
- Benefits: not mentioned; no benefits details. So skip.
- Pay: we have salary range and schedule.
- Schedule: we have weekly hours 38.75 hours per week.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Pay, Schedule.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. The job title is Office Administrative Assistant; we won't put that as heading.
We need to 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.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we remove the recruiting agency note, EEO statements, etc.
We need to keep location? Location is Syracuse, NY (100% in the office). Could be included in About the role paragraph.
We need to keep the schedule and pay details.

About the role
Location: Syracuse, NY (100% in the office). Are you a dynamic self-starter? Do you have legal experience? Are you excited about the opportunity to join an innovative, growing law firm that has been successful for more than 165 years? Harris Beach Murtha is in search of an Office Administrative Assistant to join our Syracuse, NY office. You will thrive in this role if you have: ...
But we already have a list for requirements; maybe we should separate.
Better: About the role paragraph includes intro and firm description. Then Requirements list.
Let's extract firm description from "About Harris Beach Murtha" paragraph: "Harris Beach Murtha formed in 2025 via the combination of Harris Beach PLLC and Murtha Cullina LLP. A forward-thinking and innovative partnership with the benefit of more than 250 years of combined history, Harris Beach Murtha’s New York roots reach back to 1856 and the firm has had ties to New England since 1936. Harris Beach and Murtha Cullina were separately among the country’s top law firms as ranked by The National Law Journal. Harris Beach Murtha and its subsidiaries have a strong Northeast presence, but a global reach. Clients include Fortune 100 corporations, privately held companies, emerging businesses, public sector entities, tax-exempt organizations and individuals. The firm’s practice areas and industries served span appellate law, business litigation, commercial real estate, construction, corporate, environmental, energy, financial institutions, financial restructuring, government compliance and investigations, health care, immigration, intellectual property, labor and employment, mass torts, medical and life sciences, political law, product liability, public finance, tax, and trusts and estates. The firm’s lawyers and consultants practice from offices throughout Connecticut in Bantam, Hartford, New Haven and Stamford; New York state in Albany, Buffalo, Ithaca, New York City, Rochester, Saratoga Springs, Syracuse, Long Island and White Plains, as well as in Boston, Massachusetts and Newark, New Jersey. The firm’s policy prohibiting unlawful discrimination applies to all aspects of employment, including hiring, placement, assignment of duties, training, promotion, compensation & benefits and termination. It is the policy of Harris Beach Murtha Cullina PLLC that all applicants and employees enjoy a positive, respectful and productive work environment, free from behavior, actions or language constituting unlawful harassment. Accordingly, harassment or discrimination of any kind based on an individual’s race or color, sex, age, religion, national origin, marital status, disability, military status, genetic predisposition, carrier status, sexual orientation, citizenship status, creed, domestic violence victim status or any other legally protected status is strictly prohibited. Harris Beach Murtha complies with the provisions of the Human Rights Law, all other State and Federal statutory and constitutional non-discrimination provisions including non-discrimination on the basis of prior criminal conviction and prior arrest."
That's a lot of EEO/boilerplate; but it's part of About the firm. However we need to remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove the EEO statements within the About Harris Beach Murtha paragraph. That includes sentences about policy prohibiting unlawful discrimination, etc. So we need to strip those out, preserving the rest (history, practice areas, offices, clients). Let's extract the non-EEO parts:
- Harris Beach Murtha formed in 2025 via the combination of Harris Beach PLLC and Murtha Cullina LLP.
- A forward-thinking and innovative partnership with the benefit of more than 250 years of combined history, Harris Beach Murtha’s New York roots reach back to 1856 and the firm has had ties to New England since 1936.
