We need to output HTML fragment with headings
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro: "Professional Mentor Chicago, IL $57,717 Annually Friends of the Children is a nonprofit creating generational change by supporting youth through relationships with professional Mentors. We provide children facing the greatest obstacles with a paid, full-time professional Mentor - we call them a "Friend" - from kindergarten through high school graduation, 12+ years, no matter what. We are currently seeking an extraordinary person to join our team. This is a professional position with training, supervision, accountability, and real impact." That's about the role. Could be "About the role" section. - "What You'll Do As a Professional Mentor, you will work with eight children, providing each child with consistent, one-on-one time every week. You will build long-term, trusting relationships with the children and their families. You will help each child develop skills for managing emotions, navigating school and relationships, and building confidence in who they are becoming." That's also about role/duties. Could be part of responsibilities. - "Your Responsibilities Essential Functions: Provide a minimum of four hours per week of individualized mentorship to each assigned youth (caseload of eight), primarily through one-on-one engagement during and outside of school hours.Establish and maintain strong, trust-based relationships with families; communicate regularly with parents and caregivers to support student growth and well-being.Collaborate with teachers, school personnel, and other stakeholders to ensure a coordinated and holistic approach to each child’s academic and personal success.Assess individual strengths and areas for growth; set measurable, strengths-based goals with each child and provide consistent guidance toward goal achievement.Plan and facilitate enrichment activities and experiential learning opportunities that foster skill development, confidence, and exploration of interests.Maintain accurate documentation of youth engagement and progressParticipate in weekly team meetings, professional development trainings, and staff events.Safely transport youth to and from program-related activities using a personal vehicle, in compliance with organizational safety guidelines." That's responsibilities list. - "Your Schedule Physical Requirements Work occurs in school, community, and outdoor environments and may involve engaging with youth in recreational activities.Ability to work effectively in a variety of indoor and outdoor environments and weather conditions" That's schedule and physical requirements.

Success in this role requires a genuine willingness to actively engage in training, ask thoughtful questions, apply new learning in practice, and bring authenticity, self-awareness, and commitment to working with youth and families." That could be part of qualifications or separate section but we have limited headings. Could include under "Qualifications" or "Training". But we have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map. - "Compensation And Benefits Competitive benefits are available, including health insurance (medical/dental/vision), life insurance, 3 weeks of paid vacation, and 12 days of paid sick time per year. We also offer a 401K Program with employer matching up to 4% after the initial 90 days of employment. This is a full-time exempt position with non-traditional hours.

We need to separate Pay and Benefits sections if content exists. Pay: Salary $57,717 Annually. Benefits: health insurance, life insurance, 3 weeks paid vacation, 12 days paid sick time, 401K with employer matching up to 4% after 90 days. Schedule: work week runs Tuesday through Saturday (Sundays and Mondays off). School Year Schedule: Tuesday–Friday: 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM Saturday: Flexible scheduling with an eight-hour shift Summer Schedule: Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM. Also note "This is a full-time exempt position with non-traditional hours." Could be part of schedule. We also have location, reports to, start date. Those could be minor metadata; we can fold into a short p or drop. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include location, reports to, start date in a paragraph maybe under About the role or separate small paragraph. We must not include boilerplate EEO etc. Remove that. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not needed. Thus sections: - About the role: intro paragraph(s) describing organization and role. - Responsibilities: list of duties (the Essential Functions bullet list). Use
- .
- Requirements: maybe combine required qualifications (education, experience, vehicle, background check, First Aid/CPR). Could be "Requirements".
- Qualifications: maybe "Preferred qualifications" like Bachelor's degree preferred, experience with under-resourced communities preferred. But we have both required and preferred. Could combine into Requirements and Qualifications. But we need to decide.
Given headings list includes both Requirements and Qualifications. We can separate: Requirements = mandatory items; Qualifications = preferred or additional assets.
- Skills: the "We Are Looking For People Who" list (commitment to learning, three-year commitment, teamwork, organizational skills, communication, judgment, attitude). Use
- .
- Benefits: list benefits.
- Pay: salary.
- Schedule: schedule details.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no
Professional Mentor. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use
for each section heading. We need to preserve all substantive information. Ensure we don't lose any. Let's extract each piece. About the role: combine first paragraph and maybe "What You'll Do" paragraph. First paragraph: "Professional Mentor Chicago, IL $57,717 Annually Friends of the Children is a nonprofit creating generational change by supporting youth through relationships with professional Mentors. We provide children facing the greatest obstacles with a paid, full-time professional Mentor - we call them a "Friend" - from kindergarten through high school graduation, 12+ years, no matter what. We are currently seeking an extraordinary person to join our team. This is a professional position with training, supervision, accountability, and real impact." But note the first line includes "Professional Mentor Chicago, IL $57,717 Annually". That's like job title location salary. We should not repeat job title as heading, but we can keep that info in the paragraph? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". It doesn't say we cannot include it in paragraph. However, we might want to avoid duplication. But it's okay to keep location and salary in About the role? Salary will be in Pay section anyway. Might be redundant but okay. However we might want to avoid repeating salary in About the role if we have Pay section. But we can keep it; not prohibited. But better to avoid duplication? Not explicitly prohibited. The instruction only about heading. So we can keep. But we might want to remove the salary from About the role to avoid duplication, but it's not required. I'd keep it for completeness but maybe better to move salary to Pay section only. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we remove salary from About the role, we still have it in Pay section, so it's preserved. So it's okay to omit from About the role if we have Pay section. But the About the role paragraph originally includes that salary; removing it would be summarizing away detail? It's a detail but we still have it elsewhere. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." If we remove it from About the role but keep it in Pay, we still preserve it overall. That's likely acceptable. Similarly location "Chicago, IL" appears also later in location line. We'll keep location maybe in About the role or a metadata paragraph. We'll create About the role paragraph: "Friends of the Children is a nonprofit creating generational change by supporting youth through relationships with professional Mentors. We provide children facing the greatest obstacles with a paid, full-time professional Mentor - we call them a 'Friend' - from kindergarten through high school graduation, 12+ years, no matter what. We are currently seeking an extraordinary person to join our team. This is a professional position with training, supervision, accountability, and real impact." That's good. Now Responsibilities: list the Essential Functions items. We need to split into separate
- items. The text currently is a long sentence with periods separating items. Let's split: - Provide a minimum of four hours per week of individualized mentorship to each assigned youth (caseload of eight), primarily through one-on-one engagement during and outside of school hours. - Establish and maintain strong, trust-based relationships with families; communicate regularly with parents and caregivers to support student growth and well-being. - Collaborate with teachers, school personnel, and other stakeholders to ensure a coordinated and holistic approach to each child’s academic and personal success. - Assess individual strengths and areas for growth; set measurable, strengths-based goals with each child and provide consistent guidance toward goal achievement. - Plan and facilitate enrichment activities and experiential learning opportunities that foster skill development, confidence, and exploration of interests. - Maintain accurate documentation of youth engagement and progress. - Participate in weekly team meetings, professional development trainings, and staff events. - Safely transport youth to and from program-related activities using a personal vehicle, in compliance with organizational safety guidelines. Make sure to keep the content exactly. Now Requirements: mandatory items. From "What We're Looking For Required:" list: - Associate degree, Bachelor's degree preferred; Alternatively, at least seven years’ progressive experience working with children and families will be
- .
- Benefits: list benefits.
- Pay: salary.
- Schedule: schedule details.
