Professional Advisor (School of Library & Information Science)

Simmons University · Boston, MA · 2 days ago
$39k–$63k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real content. The posting includes: Position Summary (maybe About the role). Duties & Responsibilities (Responsibilities). Qualifications (Qualifications). Additional Information includes schedule, hybrid, etc. Pay info: salary range. Benefits: mention benefits-eligible position, health benefits, retirement savings, flexible hours, remote work opportunities. So we can have sections: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (Duties & Responsibilities), Qualifications (Qualifications), Benefits (benefits info), Pay (salary range), Schedule (full-time 40-hour, flexible hours occasional nights/weekends, hybrid). Also maybe Skills? Could embed skills within qualifications but we can have a Skills section if there is explicit skill list. The qualifications list includes many skills: communication, time management, data and technology management, problem-solving, interpersonal, adaptability, creativity, ability to work independently/team, resolve issues, comfort with webinar tech, proficiency with MS Office, Google Suite, presentation software, spreadsheets, databases, student platforms. Could create a Skills section. But we must avoid thin sections; better to combine skills into Qualifications or Responsibilities? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's six sections. Skills could be part of Qualifications. We'll not create Skills heading. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, cookie/navigation, duplicated lines. Remove duplicated lines like "Located in Boston's historic Fenway area..." appears twice; we should keep only once maybe in About the role? Actually the About Simmons paragraph is generic about university; we could include that as part of About the role? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "About Simmons" is more about the institution; could be part of About the role? Probably we can include that as part of About the role (overview). But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we need to preserve all substantive information. The About Simmons paragraph includes mission, history, etc. That's substantive. We'll include it in About the role section. We need to remove duplicated lines: The paragraph about Located in Boston's historic Fenway area appears twice (once early, once near end). We'll include only once. Also remove application instructions, EEO statements, etc. Also remove "In Accordance With Applicable Pay Transparency Laws..." but we need to keep pay range; that is part of Pay section. The sentence about pay transparency law can be omitted as boilerplate? It's not required to preserve; it's legal boilerplate. We can drop it. Keep the salary range. Also remove "This is a benefits-eligible position." but we need benefits section; we can keep that as part of Benefits. Also remove "Actual compensation will be based on factors such as experience..." maybe part of Pay section but it's generic; we could keep as part of Pay but it's not specific detail; it's somewhat boilerplate but still substantive? It says actual compensation will be based on factors... Could keep but it's not specific. Might be okay. However we should avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". This sentence is similar but not exactly filler; it's describing how compensation determined. Might be okay to keep. We also need to remove duplicated lines like "Simmons is committed to creating, developing, promoting, and enhancing inclusive hiring practices..." appears multiple times; we should keep only once maybe in About the role? But it's EEO boilerplate; we should remove it entirely as per instruction: remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should drop those lines. Also remove "Simmons is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "To apply, visit ..." etc. Also remove "Instructions to Applicants:" etc. Also remove "Required Application Materials" etc. Also remove "Additional Information For Applicants" maybe we keep schedule/hybrid info but not the heading. We need to preserve schedule info: full-time 40-hour workweek, flexible hours occasional nights and weekends, Boston-based hybrid work schedule. We also need to preserve benefits: benefits-eligible position, health benefits, retirement savings offerings, flexible hours and remote work opportunities (already mentioned). Also maybe mention "work-life balance initiatives such as flexible hours and remote work opportunities." We need to preserve pay: salary range $39,100 - $63,400 (note the weird "S05$39,100.00 - $63,400.00" maybe a typo; we should output as $39,100 - $63,400 per year? The posting says Hourly Or Annual Salary Range For This Position Is S05$39,100.00 - $63,400.00. Likely annual. We'll output as $39,100 - $63,400 per year. Now craft HTML. Structure:

    Responsibilities

    • ... each duty

    The hourly or annual salary range for this position is $39,100 - $63,400.

    Schedule

    This is a full-time position on a 40‑hour workweek schedule requiring flexible hours, including occasional nights and weekends. The role is Boston‑based with a hybrid work schedule.

    We need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: Position Summary includes: "Simmons University is looking for an Academic Advisor to join the School of Library and Information Science, including both online and on-campus programming. This position will primarily support students enrolled in the Master of Science in Library and Information Science (MSLIS) and post-master's level students. The Academic Advisor is responsible for building supportive and personalized relationships with students, managing expectations of program requirements, and providing opportunities to help students stay connected to the Simmons community. This position is full-time on a 40-hour workweek schedule, which will require flexible hours, including occasional nights and weekends. This role is Boston-based with a hybrid work schedule. The Academic Advisor oversees student enrollment and registration, maintains accurate student data, and counsels students on course registration, leaves of absence, academic ineligibility, plans of study, policy questions, as well as other needs. The Academic Advisor oversees students in special programs, such as the Simmons Edge, 3+1, and partnership agreements with external programs. The Academic Advisor reports to the Student Services Manager and works collaboratively with the SLIS MS Program Director, University Registrar's Office, Simmons Student Life, and the SLIS Student Services Center." We have some of that in Responsibilities; but we should not duplicate. The About the role section could include the Position Summary (first paragraph) and maybe the About Simmons paragraph. Then Responsibilities will list duties from Duties & Responsibilities. Qualifications: list from Qualifications section. We need to ensure we don't lose any duty items: Let's extract Duties & Responsibilities list: - Advise students on University policies, handbooks, procedures, program requirements, practicum requirements, and all other academic matters; - Provide students with preemptive guidance on acclimating to their new graduate program lifestyle and building supportive personal environments and best practices to facilitate their student success; - Track and report student progress data across multiple data tracking systems shared by key stakeholders within the designated SLIS graduate program teams (e.g., Starfish system implementation and faculty training, registration audits, LOA tracking, custom plans of study tracking, end of term and degree audits, etc.); - Participate in department meetings regarding complex student issues; - Serve as the first point of contact for student academic plan questions and various other administrative needs of the students; - Provide support for the admissions process as needed; - Participate in department- and program-related events (e.g. admission webinars, admitted student events, orientation, etc.); - Work collaboratively with key stakeholders to communicate, complete tasks, and provide input on systems in an efficient and effective manner to best support students in all stages of the program; - Oversee and maintain the currency of the SLIS Virtual Orientation course (LIS 400); - Other duties as assigned. We'll put each as
  • . Qualifications list: - Master's Degree required; MSLIS preferred - Minimum of two years of academic advising or equivalent experience (i.e. roles requiring extensive student contact, or positions that entail a high level of people management); - Experience advising and/or teaching, or general familiarity, with online programs a plus; - Proven ability in developing strong relationships through a variety of means (including remote engagement) and experience in professional coaching/advising others required; - Excellent oral and written communication skills; - The ideal candidate will possess strong time management, data and technology management, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills, will be adaptable to new and rapidly changing situations, will be creative and innovative and demonstrate the ability to work independently and with a team; - Ability to successfully resolve student issues from request through resolution; - Comfort with online webinar technology using audio, video and shared desktop applications (e.g. Adobe Connect, Zoom, Webex, GoToMeeting, Skype); - Strong proficiency with Microsoft Office, Google Suite, and presentation software, with a particular emphasis on spreadsheets and data entry/analysis; - The ability to effectively work with multiple databases and student platforms; - Must have a strong commitment to education. We'll put each as
  • . Some are long sentences; okay. Benefits: from text: "This is a benefits-eligible position. Actual compensation will be based on factors such as experience, education, skills, equity, and external market benchmarks that help guide compensation decisions. Our compensation philosophy is centered around a comprehensive package that includes pay, health benefits, and retirement savings offerings that can be seen here, as well as work-life balance initiatives such as flexible hours and remote work opportunities." We'll keep: benefits-eligible position, health benefits, retirement savings, flexible hours, remote work opportunities. Pay: salary range. Schedule: full-time 40-hour, flexible hours occasional nights/weekends, Boston-based hybrid. Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO, etc. Check for duplicated lines: We included About Simmons paragraph only once. We'll need to include the historic Fenway area line only once. Let's craft About the role paragraph: "Located in Boston's historic Fenway area, Simmons University has a strong tradition of empowering women and challenging traditional gender roles. Simmons was founded for equality 125 years ago as one of the first higher education institutions dedicated to helping women become leaders. Today, our university continues to grow and evolve and now offers Boston's only women's undergraduate program and graduate programs open to all.
