maybe under a section? But we have no specific section for deadline; maybe we can include in a

under "About the role" or separate? The instruction says we can fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we could include deadline in a

maybe under a generic "About the role" or separate? But we need to decide sections. We have content for: - About the role: could be the Summary paragraph. - Responsibilities: the Major Responsibilities list (Administrative Support, Scheduling, Records Management, Non-Competitive Appointment Option maybe? Actually that is more about qualifications? It's about appointment type; could be part of Requirements/Qualifications? Might be better as a separate section? But we only have headings list; we could put under "Requirements" or "Qualifications". The Non-Competitive Appointment Option is about appointment type, not a qualification per se. Could be part of "About the role" as additional info. - Requirements: maybe the NON-COMPETITIVE QUALIFICATIONS (no min education/experience) and maybe the Preferred Qualifications?

We could put that under

About the role

with

. Responsibilities: we have bullet-like sentences under Administrative Support, Scheduling, Records Management. Also Non-Competitive Appointment Option maybe not a responsibility but more about appointment type. Could be included under Responsibilities? Might be better as a separate note under About the role? But we need to preserve it. Let's include it under Responsibilities as a separate item maybe. We need to format as

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So each responsibility can be a
  • . However the responsibilities are grouped into categories; we could still make each sentence a
  • . Or we could keep categories as headings inside
  • ? But spec says use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a
        with each duty as
      • . We'll need to capture all duty sentences. Let's list duty sentences: From Administrative Support: - Greet all students, parents, faculty, staff, and administration in person, via email, and over the phone. - Promote a welcoming, safe, and confidential environment using a mature, calming, and positive attitude. - Answer phone calls promptly, route them to the appropriate staff member, and handle crisis calls by making immediate, correct referrals. - Manage the front-desk iPads and ensure student clients properly complete all required digital forms before their appointments. - Serve as the administrative support for Health Promotion, Prevention Services, and Counseling Center staff, working collaboratively with the Counseling Center Administrative Assistant. - Prepare official correspondence, paperwork, and reports for Health Promotion and Prevention Services.

While serving permanently in a NY HELPS title, employees may take part in any promotion examination for which they are qualified. That's a paragraph; could be placed under About the role or a separate section like "Appointment Type". Since we don't have a heading for that, we could incorporate into About the role as an additional

        . But we must preserve all substantive info; we can add a

            under Schedule. We also have Department and Campus Title maybe minor metadata; we could fold into a short

            maybe under About the role? But we already have summary; we could add a

            with "Department: Counseling and Wellness Services. Campus Title: Office Assistant 1, SG 6." However the instruction says do NOT repeat the job title as a heading; but we can include it in a paragraph. It's minor metadata; we can include. We must remove boilerplate: Date line, Watch To Learn More..., Deadline, To Apply, etc. Also remove the "Non-Competitive Appointment Option" maybe we keep as part of About the role or Responsibilities? It's not a duty but it's substantive info about appointment type; we should keep it. Where to place? Could be under About the role as an additional paragraph. We must not include application instructions (To Apply...). Also remove Deadline line. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:
