We need to output HTML fragment only, with sections for headings where content exists. Use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc as headings; fold minor metadata into short

or drop it. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Preserve all substantive info. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. From posting: - About the role: description of role, mission, etc. We have paragraphs describing the role: "The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is a leading institution..." etc. That's about the role. So we can have

About the role

with paragraphs. - Responsibilities: there is a big list under "Key Responsibilities" with many bullet-like sentences. We need to turn into
  • items. Should we split each sentence? Probably each bullet point is a responsibility. We'll extract each distinct responsibility. - Requirements: includes education and work experience, plus other requirements (pre-employment skills test). Also maybe "Work Location: Onsite Requirement: 2 to 3 days onsite per week". That's schedule? Actually schedule is hybrid. We'll treat schedule separately. - Qualifications: maybe "Preferred qualifications include strong organizational skills..." etc. Could be under Qualifications or Skills. We'll decide. - Skills: maybe technical proficiency, Microsoft Office, etc. - Benefits: there is a "Why Us?" section describing benefits: employer-paid medical coverage, dental, vision, life, AD&D, disability, PTO accruals, paid holidays, wellness, childcare, tuition assistance, wellness/fitness, employee resource groups, defined-benefit pension, voluntary retirement plans, employer-paid life and reduced salary protection programs. Also "Employer-paid medical coverage starting day one for employees working 30+ hours/week". So we have benefits. - Pay: Salary range given: Minimum $45,500 - Midpoint $57,000 - Maximum $68,500. Also maybe "Minimum Salary: US Dollar (USD) 45,500" etc. So we have Pay. - Schedule: "Work Location: Onsite Requirement: 2 to 3 days onsite per week" and "Hybrid Onsite/Remote". Also "Work Week: Days". So schedule: hybrid, 2-3 days onsite per week. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Senior Administrative Assistant - Breast Surgical Oncology. We must not put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings; we can fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Probably we can include a short paragraph with Requisition ID etc if we want, but better to drop as minor metadata. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." So we can include a

    with that info, but not as heading. We'll include a short paragraph at top maybe. We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we will strip the EEO paragraph, the link, the "Additional Information" section with many fields like Employment Status, etc. Those are minor metadata; we could fold into a short p or drop. Probably drop them. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to keep the description of role, responsibilities, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay, schedule. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics like "Generate, update, and refine Curriculum Vitae, biosketches, and reference materials using the myCV database." etc. We'll produce HTML fragment with sections in logical order: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe combine preferred qualifications), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Requirements could be separate: Education and Experience. But we could combine education/experience under Requirements. Let's see: The posting has "EDUCATION Required: High School Diploma or EquivalentPreferred: Associate's Degree or Bachelor's Degree Work Experience Required: 5 years Administrative/secretarial experience. orRequired: 3 years Required experience with Associate's degree. orRequired: 1 year Required experience with Bachelor's degree. OTHER REQUIREMENTS: Must pass pre-employment skills test as required and administered by Human Resources." That's definitely requirements. Thus we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications (maybe preferred qualifications), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we must avoid thin sections. We have substantive content for each. Now we need to extract content. Let's parse the posting. First paragraph: "The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is a leading institution focused on cancer care, research, education, and prevention. The Senior Administrative Assistant - Breast Surgical Oncology role supports a department focused on the coordination of clinical, academic, research, educational, and professional activities within Breast Surgical Oncology. The Senior Administrative Assistant - Breast Surgical Oncology serves as a key administrative partner to faculty members and departmental operations. UT MD Anderson provides world-class cancer care while advancing discovery, education, and innovation. The Senior Administrative Assistant - Breast Surgical Oncology position plays an important role in supporting faculty efforts across patient care, research, publications, grants, conferences, and academic initiatives. The ideal candidate for this role has demonstrated experience providing executive-level administrative support and project coordination in a complex environment." We can combine into a few paragraphs. Second paragraph: "Preferred qualifications include strong organizational skills, the ability to manage multiple priorities independently, exceptional professionalism, technical proficiency, and the ability to build effective working relationships." That's qualifications/skills. Third: "Work Location: Onsite Requirement: 2 to 3 days onsite per week Salary range: Minimum $45,500 - Midpoint $57,000 - Maximum $68,500" Then "Why Us? This role offers the opportunity to contribute directly to UT MD Anderson's mission by supporting faculty members whose work impacts patient care, research, education, and innovation. The position provides meaningful exposure to academic medicine, complex project coordination, and high-level administrative operations while offering opportunities for professional growth and a hybrid work arrangement that supports work-life balance. Employer-paid medical coverage starting day one for employees working 30+ hours/week, plus optional group dental, vision, life, AD&D, and disability insurance. Accruals for PTO and Extended Illness Bank, plus paid holidays, wellness, childcare, and other leave options. Tuition Assistance Program after six months of service and access to extensive wellness, fitness, and employee resource groups. Defined-benefit pension through the Teachers Retirement System, voluntary retirement plans, and employer-paid life and reduced salary protection programs" Then "Key Responsibilities" followed by many sentences. Then "Administrative Support for Faculty Finances" etc. Then "Administrative Support to the Department" Then "Other Duties as Assigned" Then "EDUCATION Required: High School Diploma or EquivalentPreferred: Associate's Degree or Bachelor's Degree Work Experience Required: 5 years Administrative/secretarial experience. orRequired: 3 years Required experience with Associate's degree. orRequired: 1 year Required experience with Bachelor's degree. OTHER REQUIREMENTS: Must pass pre-employment skills test as required and administered by Human Resources." Then "The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center offers excellent benefits, including medical, dental, paid time off, retirement, tuition benefits, educational opportunities, and individual and team recognition." This is similar to benefits but we already captured. Then "This position may be responsible for maintaining the security and integrity of critical infrastructure, as defined in Section 113.001(2) of the Texas Business and Commerce Code and therefore may require routine reviews and screening. The ability to satisfy and maintain all requirements necessary to ensure the continued security and integrity of such infrastructure is a condition of hire and continued employment." This is a requirement maybe. Then EEO boilerplate to remove. Then "Additional Information Requisition ID: 182886 Employment Status: Full-Time Employee Status: Regular Work Week: Days Minimum Salary: US Dollar (USD) 45,500 Midpoint Salary: US Dollar (USD) 57,000 Maximum Salary : US Dollar (USD) 68,500 FLSA: non-exempt and eligible for overtime pay Fund Type: Hard Work Location: Hybrid Onsite/Remote Pivotal Position: No Referral Bonus Available?: No Relocation Assistance Available?: No" We can drop that as minor metadata. Now we need to produce HTML. We'll start with a short paragraph for metadata maybe: "

    Requisition ID: 182886 | Full‑time, regular.

    " but we could drop. The instruction says we can fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. I'll include a short p with Requisition ID and employment status. Now sections. About the role: combine the initial description plus maybe the "Why Us?" mission part? Actually "Why Us?" includes mission and benefits; we could split: About the role includes description of role and mission; Benefits separate. Let's craft About the role paragraph(s): - The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is a leading institution focused on cancer care, research, education, and prevention. - The Senior Administrative Assistant - Breast Surgical Oncology role supports a department focused on the coordination of clinical, academic, research, educational, and professional activities within Breast Surgical Oncology. - The Senior Administrative Assistant - Breast Surgical Oncology serves as a key administrative partner to faculty members and departmental operations. - UT MD Anderson provides world-class cancer care while advancing discovery, education, and innovation. - The Senior Administrative Assistant - Breast Surgical Oncology position plays an important role in supporting faculty efforts across patient care, research, publications, grants, conferences, and academic initiatives. - The ideal candidate for this role has demonstrated experience providing executive-level administrative support and project coordination in a complex environment. We can put as

    sentences. Now Responsibilities: we need to extract each responsibility from the "Key Responsibilities" block and also the sub-sections Administrative Support for Faculty Finances and Administrative Support to the Department. Let's list them: From "Key Responsibilities" bullet-like sentences (each sentence seems a responsibility): 1. Provide comprehensive administrative support to designated faculty members and departmental representatives. 2. Execute intricate administrative tasks, including word processing, presentation creation, document composition, editing, and meticulous proofreading. 3. Oversee various office operations, including phone management, faxing, photocopying, filing and mail distribution. 4.
