Part-Time Ethnic Studies Instructor (Pool)
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
. We need to strip boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we must remove EEO statement, Annual Security Report, Closes date, To apply link, etc. Also remove FLSA Status, Safety, Position designated as Mandated Reporter, etc? Those are not boilerplate? They are additional info but not specifically listed as headings; we could include them under maybe Additional Information? But we only have allowed headings list; we could put them under a generic
if not fitting headings. However instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could incorporate those details into existing sections if relevant. For example, FLSA Status, Months Per Year, Safety etc could go under Schedule or Additional Info but we don't have a heading for Additional Info. Could we create a section "Additional Information"? Not in the list but maybe allowed? The instruction says use 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)." It implies those are examples; we could still use other headings if needed, but better to stick to those. The safety, FLSA, etc could be placed under Schedule? Not really. Could be placed under Requirements? Not ideal. Perhaps we can create a section "Working Conditions" but not in list. Might be okay to include as a
without heading? The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say we cannot have other headings, but suggests using those for section headings. Safer to include only those headings that have content. For miscellaneous info like FLSA Status, Safety, etc, we could embed them in a
under Schedule or Benefits? Might be considered adding unrelated info. But we must preserve ALL substantive information; cannot drop them. So we need to include them somewhere. We could create a section "Additional Information" with
Additional Information
and put those details there. The instruction didn't forbid that; it just gave examples. I think it's acceptable. Thus sections: - Responsibilities (h3) with ul of duties. - Requirements (h3) with ul combining Employment Standards and Job Requirements? Might be long; we could split into Requirements and Qualifications? But we have both headings available. Could do Requirements for Employment Standards, Qualifications for Job Requirements (including equivalence details). Or combine. - Skills (h3) with ul of skills and abilities. - Benefits (h3) with p about STRS etc. - Pay (h3) with p about salary schedule. - Schedule (h3) with p about months per year. - Additional Information (h3) with p containing FLSA Status, Safety, Mandated Reporter, Responsible Employee, Work Demands details. We must not repeat job title. No markdown. We must ensure we keep all substantive info: duties list, employment standards bullet points, skills list, job requirements details (including equivalence types), benefits text, pay text, schedule text, FLSA, Safety, Mandated Reporter, Responsible Employee, Work Demands (environmental, physical, mental demands). Also note the note about equivalence: "Note: If you believe your degree... please complete the Application for Equivalence..." That's part of job requirements; we should keep. Also the three means of demonstrating equivalency details. We need to preserve all that. Let's extract content.

For lists: duties, employment standards, skills, job requirements (maybe split into sublists?), benefits is prose, pay prose, schedule prose, additional info maybe a list. We need to preserve all details; we can break job requirements into a
