We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Include a section only when posting has real, specific content. Remove boilerplate etc.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- Position Summary (could be "About the role"): description of mission, responsibilities overview. We'll put as
About the role
with containing the summary.
- Key Responsibilities: list of duties. We'll put
Responsibilities
with - each bullet.
- Why Join Us? maybe "Benefits"? Actually it's about why join, could be considered "Benefits" but it's more about motivations. Could be "Benefits" but we have separate Compensation and Benefits later. The "Why Join Us?" is more like reasons to join; could be considered "Benefits" but we have actual benefits later. We could treat as "Benefits" but we also have a Compensation And Benefits section later. The "Why Join Us?" is more like "Why join us?" maybe we can put under a heading like "Why Join Us?" but the instruction says use headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content to those headings. "Why Join Us?" could be part of Benefits or maybe Skills? It's more about motivations; but we could include under Benefits as a bullet list? However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine "Why Join Us?" with Benefits? But Benefits section later includes compensation and benefits details. The "Why Join Us?" is more like selling points; we could treat as a separate section maybe "About the role"? But better to follow allowed headings; we could put under "Benefits" as a list of non-monetary benefits (make a difference, shape programs, collaborative team, professional development). That seems appropriate.
- Position Information: includes full-time, benefits eligible, permanent/probationary, exempt, standard hours, telecommuting up to 1 day per week. This could go under Schedule and Pay? Actually schedule: standard hours Monday-Friday 8-4:30, may vary, telecommuting up to 1 day per week. Pay: not specified except compensation later. So we can put schedule info under Schedule heading. Pay info under Pay heading (but we have compensation details later). We'll need to include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state compensation later: CSU Classification Salary Range: $5,540 - $7,893/month; hiring salary not expected to exceed $5,540.00/month. So we have Pay.
- Department Summary: description of BRC. Could be part of About the role or maybe separate but we have only allowed headings. Could incorporate into About the role.
- Education And Experience: qualifications. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. We'll use Requirements for education/experience, and Qualifications for key qualifications.
- Key Qualifications: list of qualifications. Could be under Qualifications.
- Preferred Qualifications: also under Qualifications maybe as separate bullet list? Could combine.
- Compensation And Benefits: includes compensation details and benefits list. We'll have Pay heading for salary range, Benefits heading for benefits list (time off, retirement, health coverage, education support, optional offerings, campus & community). Also we already used Benefits for "Why Join Us?" but we could merge? Actually we have two sets: "Why Join Us?" (non-monetary motivators) and the actual benefits package. We could combine them under Benefits heading, with two sub-sections? But we must use
- for any list. Could have two
under same heading? Probably okay. But we need to avoid duplication. We'll treat Benefits heading to include both the "Why Join Us?" points and the actual benefits package. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can have one Benefits section that includes both motivational points and actual benefits. That seems fine.
- Schedule: we have standard hours and telecommuting.
- Pay: salary range.
- Requirements: education and experience.
- Qualifications: key qualifications and preferred qualifications.
- Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; we could omit if no specific skills section. The posting includes skills like organization, time-management, advising, knowledge of student development, judgment, communication, collaborative approach, training/guiding student employees. Those are qualifications/skills. Could put under Skills heading. But we already have Qualifications. The instruction says use headings from list; we can choose which to include. We could have Qualifications and Skills separate, but we might combine. Since we have both Key Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications, we could put them under Qualifications. Skills could be omitted if not distinct. However we have explicit skills like "Effective organization and time-management skills", "Clear, inclusive communication", etc. Those are skills. Could put under Skills heading. But we also have qualifications like experience planning programs, advising students, etc. Might be overlapping. To be safe, we can have both Qualifications and Skills sections.
Let's decide:
- About the role: combine Position Summary and Department Summary.
- Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities list.
- Requirements: Education And Experience.
- Qualifications: Key Qualifications (maybe also Preferred Qualifications). We'll list both.
- Skills: maybe we can extract skill-based items from Key Qualifications that are skills: organization/time-management, advising, knowledge of student development, judgment/professionalism, communication/collaborative approach, training/guiding student employees. But those are already in Qualifications. Could still list under Skills.
- Benefits: combine Why Join Us? and Compensation And Benefits benefits package.
- Pay: salary range.
- Schedule: standard hours and telecommuting.
We must not include headings with filler text. Ensure we have real content.
Now we need to strip boilerplate: remove navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions (like "Apply by October 7th, 2026", background check, etc). Also remove "Supplemental Information" etc. Also remove "SDSU Values", "Principles of Community", "Equal Opportunity and Excellence in Education and Employment". Also remove "Department Summary"? We kept it as part of About the role. But we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "For more information regarding the Gus and Emma Thompson Black Resource Center, click here ." That's a link; we should drop that line. Also "click here" etc.
We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to keep the description of BRC mission etc.
Let's extract substantive content:
