We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections with real content. From posting: We have duties (list). That's responsibilities. Also required qualifications, preferred qualifications, salary & benefits. Also maybe "Position effective" (deadline) but that's metadata; we can fold into a short

maybe under About the role? 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 short paragraph about position effective date. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we start with maybe

About the role

with a paragraph summarizing role? The posting already describes duties; we could put duties under Responsibilities. About the role could be a brief description: "The Senior Technical Assistant/Veterinary Technology Laboratory Assistant is responsible for..." but that's basically the duties. However we need to avoid duplication? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the duties list. We can put them under Responsibilities. The About the role could be a short paragraph describing the role generally, but we don't have that separate; we could omit About the role if no specific content besides duties. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we should not create About the role if we only have duties; we can put duties under Responsibilities. So we will have sections: Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Benefits, Pay (Salary). Also maybe Schedule? Not present. So we omit Schedule. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For benefits we have a list: comprehensive health coverage, choice of defined benefit or defined contribution pension plan, generous leave benefits, access to tax sheltered annuities and a deferred compensation plan. That's a list. Pay: we have salary range: starting salary $56,792, additional compensation with seniority steps maximize at $69,593. That's not a list but we can put in

    . Requirements: required qualifications list: high school or equivalency diploma, at least three years experience, LVT or LATG certification with experience in educational facility, experience with Microsoft Office Suite including Excel, evidence of responsiveness to diverse backgrounds and equity-minded practice. That's a list. Preferred qualifications: Dental and/or large animal or exotic animal experience preferred. That's a single item; could be a

    or

    • . Since it's a list of preferences, we can use
      • . Also we have "POSITION EFFECTIVE: Priority will be given to applications received by June 26, 2026. However, the interview process may include the review of applications beyond the application deadline date, as necessary, and until the position is filled." This is metadata; we can fold into a short

        maybe under a heading like "Application Timeline" but we don't have a heading for that; we could just include a

        after responsibilities before qualifications. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

        or drop it. So we can add a

        with that info. We must not include application instructions, EEO boilerplate, etc. So we strip those. Now construct HTML:

        Responsibilities

        • ... each duty as separate li.
        We need to preserve all duties exactly as given, but we can split into separate li items. The duties are a long sentence with semicolons. We'll break at each semicolon and maybe "and". Better to keep each duty as separate li. Let's parse: "Laboratory Equipment: Clean, maintain and store lab equipment; perform quality control measures (e.g. routine maintenance of microscopes, CBC and chemistry analyzers, anesthetic machines and monitors, autoclave, radiographic processor, surgical tables/lights, dental equipment, eye wash stations, etc.); sterilize and maintain surgical and dental instruments; launder all surgical gowns, drapes, towels, etc.; maintain program laptops and associated programs such as Dentalaire and Impromed; repair or order maintenance of existing equipment; train new faculty on policies and handling of equipment; provide assistance/demonstrations to students on equipment use; and oversee work study students in the maintenance and care of lab equipment." That's many items. We'll create li for each. Then "Ordering/Invoicing: Order the necessary equipment and supplies for laboratory sessions by submitting requisitions and orders with quotes; submit payment vouchers monthly for rental property; submit payment vouchers for respective technical services/partnerships; maintain record of all membership/licensing fees and respective due dates and submit payments on a timely manner; manage invoices for processing and record keeping; receive and catalogue orders; inventory stock for record keeping; and communicate with vendors and representatives on products." Then "Community Outreach: Arrange off-campus laboratory sessions at affiliated settings; establishment of new clinical affiliations; recruitment of students through social media, marketing, and advertising strategies; manage the programs Facebook page; manage the program's job and internship opportunities; coordinate schedules for committee meetings; distribute communications to the veterinary community about upcoming events; follow-up on information and distribute minutes to professional advisory board; and maintain relationships with respective vendors for possible donations." Then "Laboratory/Classroom/Students: Assist instructors/students during laboratory instruction; set-up and break down laboratory classes as well as laboratory practicals; arrange and assist in transportation of animals for respective labs from local shelters; coordinate and participate in farm visits for farm animal labs; collect biological specimens from local shelters for respective labs; maintain all chemicals and ensure all containers labeled correctly following AVMA and OSHA regulations; coordinate sharps, biological waste, and cadaver disposal; schedule and assist in rabies vaccination clinics held on campus; assist instructors in the classroom when needed, providing support for online instruction via zoom when necessary; submit textbook orders to the campus bookstore each semester; assist and keep minutes for departmental, IACUC and advisory board committee meetings; provide tutoring assistance for laboratory procedures/skills to students including VTNE prep and Kahoot game development; and assist faculty and department chair with additional documentation." Then "Record Keeping: Maintain and update affiliation agreements both digital and hard copies; manage renewal dates for associated contracts and assist in renewal completion; keep record of all animals utilized by the program, including rabies vaccination status; maintain pre-exposure rabies vaccination proof for all students; maintain health insurance documentation for all students; maintain student injury log both on and off campus; input students documented required essential skills into Excel spreadsheet as well as recording program, Salthouse; and maintain and update MSDS and SDS sheets" Then "All other duties, as assigned." We'll create li for each bullet. Now Required Qualifications: list. - high school or equivalency diploma - at least three years of experience in the field - possession of a LVT (State of NY) or LATG certification with experience working an educational facility - experience with Microsoft Office Suite (including Microsoft Excel) - evidence of responsiveness to and understanding of the diverse academic, socioeconomic, cultural, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, and ethnic backgrounds of community college students and evidence of equity-minded practice in all college policies, practices, and personnel Preferred Qualifications: Dental and/or large animal or exotic animal experience preferred. Pay: Starting salary $56,792; additional compensation with seniority steps maximize at $69,593. Benefits: comprehensive health coverage, a choice of defined benefit or defined contribution pension plan, generous leave benefits, and access to tax sheltered annuities and a deferred compensation plan. We also have position effective date: we can add a

        after responsibilities maybe. Let's craft HTML. Be careful to not include any extra text outside HTML fragment. We'll output:
