Senior Career Advisor
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions). Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Department: Education & Social Policy
- Salary/Grade: EXS/7
- Target hiring range: $70,000 - $75,000 per year. Offered salary determined by education, experience, etc.
- Job Summary: description.
- Specific Responsibilities: broken into subcategories: Administration, Technology, Advising/Counseling, Relationships, Marketing/pr/admissions/recruitment support, Programming/events/curriculum, Evaluation and compliance, Supervision, Miscellaneous.
- Minimum Qualifications: bullet list of alternatives.
- Preferred Qualifications: bullet list.
- Benefits: description.
- Work-Life And Wellness: description.
- Professional Growth & Development: description.
- EEO statement etc to remove.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe from Job Summary), Responsibilities (the specific responsibilities), Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications?), Skills (maybe not explicit), Benefits (yes), Pay (yes, salary range), Schedule (not mentioned, so omit). Also maybe include "Work-Life And Wellness" and "Professional Growth & Development" could be part of Benefits? But they are separate sections; we could include them as separate sections if they have substantive content. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine Work-Life and Professional Growth into Benefits? But they are distinct topics. However we could include them as separate sections if they have content. The instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. They do have content. So we could include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (Minimum Qualifications), Preferred Qualifications (maybe as Qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Work-Life & Wellness, Professional Growth & Development. That's many sections. Maybe we can combine Work-Life and Professional Growth into Benefits as subpoints? But they are separate headings in original. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exhaustive; we could add other headings if needed. However "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should aim for maybe 4-5 sections.
We could structure:
- About the role (Job Summary)
- Responsibilities (list of duties)
- Requirements (Minimum Qualifications)
- Preferred Qualifications (maybe as Qualifications)
- Benefits (including Benefits, Work-Life & Wellness, Professional Growth & Development)
- Pay (salary range)
That's 6 sections.
We need to use
for each section heading.
Inside each section, we need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
Thus:
About the role
Job Summary ...
Responsibilities
- Administration: ...
...
But we have many subcategories; we could flatten into list items each responsibility bullet. Could group subheadings inside li? Probably better to keep as list items with the responsibility description.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all responsibilities details. That is a lot. We need to capture each bullet from the posting.
