We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Pay: posting says "Salary: Salary commensurate with education and experience - $125,000 max". That's specific: salary range up to $125k max. So we can include Pay section with that info. Schedule: "Work Schedule: Full-time (1.0 FTE, 40 hrs/wk)" and "Job Type: Full-Time". So schedule info present. Benefits: there is a "What's In It For You?" and "Benefits For You And Your Family". So we can include Benefits section with those details. Qualifications: there are Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. We can combine into Requirements? The instruction: Use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which sections to include. Probably include "Requirements" for required qualifications, "Preferred Qualifications" maybe as part of Qualifications? But we have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Could put required under Requirements, preferred under Qualifications, skills maybe under Skills? But there is also skill list in required qualifications. Might be redundant. Better to follow typical: Requirements (required qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (maybe extract skill bullets). However we must not create thin sections. Let's see content: Required Qualifications list includes many skill-like items. Preferred Qualifications list includes some. Could combine into Requirements and Qualifications. Skills maybe not needed if covered. But we must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have content for Requirements (required qualifications) and Qualifications (preferred). Skills maybe redundant; we could omit Skills section to avoid thin. Benefits we have. Pay we have. Schedule we have. About the role: we have About The Position and About The Department. Could combine into About the role heading. Use

Schedule we have. About the role: we have About The Position and About The Department. Could combine into About the role heading. Use About the role
with paragraphs summarizing department and position. Must not invent; we can preserve the prose from About The Department and About The Position. We'll output paragraphs.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we keep all substantive info: department description, position description, benefits details, responsibilities, required qualifications, preferred qualifications, pay, schedule.
We must not include application instructions, posting dates, EEO statements, etc.
Let's extract:
About The Department: paragraph(s). We'll combine.
About The Position: paragraphs.
We'll output as
elements. Responsibilities: list under
Responsibilities
with- each bullet. We need to capture all responsibilities bullet points. They are long sentences with semicolons. We'll split each bullet as separate
- . The text includes many clauses separated by semicolons but they are part of same bullet. We'll keep as one
- per bullet. Responsibilities sections: There are four subheadings: Space Planning & Analysis, Space Data Management & Software Use, Reporting & Surveys, Stakeholder Engagement, Other Related Duties As Assigned. We'll treat each as a bullet? Actually each subheading contains multiple duties separated by semicolons. Could break each duty into separate
- . But instruction: use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid splitting further. To preserve all info, we could keep each semicolon-separated item as separate
- . However that may change meaning but still preserve. Safer to keep each subheading as a
- containing the whole text (including semicolons). That preserves all info. We'll do that. Similarly for Required Qualifications: list items separated by semicolons. We'll keep each as
- .
Preferred Qualifications similarly.
Benefits: we have two paragraphs: "What's In It For You?" and "Benefits For You And Your Family". We'll combine into
- each benefit item. The text includes list separated by semicolons. We'll split each semicolon item into
- . Also there is a sentence about "Outstanding Employee Benefits" then list. We'll capture each benefit.
Pay: we have salary info: "Salary: Salary commensurate with education and experience - $125,000 max". We'll output
Salary: Salary commensurate with education and experience - $125,000 max
underPay
. Schedule: we have "Work Schedule: Full-time (1.0 FTE, 40 hrs/wk)" and "Job Type: Full-Time". We'll combine:Work Schedule: Full-time (1.0 FTE, 40 hrs/wk); Job Type: Full-Time
underSchedule
. Now ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience" is okay because it's actual content. Not filler like "not specified". It's specific. Now produce HTML fragment. Order: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. (We omit Skills). Ensure each heading only if content. Let's craft. About the role: combine department and position paragraphs. Department paragraph: "George Mason University Facilities & Campus Operations ensures a quality physical environment supporting the mission of the university. We will be the technical and business experts of choice with the total trust and confidence of our students, faculty, and staff." Position paragraph: "Join the George Mason University Patriot Team!
