We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - Position Overview (maybe "About the role") includes description: Merrimack College ... seeking energetic... reporting to Director... responsibilities etc. We'll put that under About the role. - Primary Responsibilities: list of duties. Use
  • . - Skills & Qualifications: includes Bachelor's degree required, master's preferred, driving license, 3-5 years experience, etc. Also includes "Professional and positive customer series, phone etiquette, and written communication" (typo). Also includes many bullet-like sentences. We'll separate into Requirements (maybe education, experience, license) and Skills (communication, etc.) and Qualifications maybe overlapping. But we need to follow headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. The posting includes: - "Bachelor’s degree required, master’s degree preferred" - "Valid U.S. driving license required." - "3-5 years of professional experience, preferably in recruitment, sales, or admission." - "Experience working with transfer students and their families." - "Professional and positive customer series, phone etiquette, and written communication" - "Demonstrate excellent communication ability and problem-solving skills to explain, facilitate and improve upon Merrimack’s student services." - "Self-starter with a positive attitude, proactive mindset, and strong work ethic." - "Ability to use critical thinking skills and demonstrate professional judgement." - "Skilled at learning, organizing, researching and recalling a wide range of information while staying up to date with the enrollment and retention priorities." - "Strong time management skills, the ability to multitask and prioritize work and adhere to a strong sense of professionalism." - "A strong knowledge of office management responsibilities, systems and procedures." - "Willing to work in a metrics driven position" - "Experience with MS Office, Google Suite, Slate CRM, Jenzabar, TES, and other Merrimack and enrollment systems." - "Willingness to work nights and weekends as needed at various times throughout the year." Also "Supervise, provide ongoing training and delegate daily responsibilities to graduate fellow(s)." That's a responsibility. Also "Participate and represent Merrimack College through meetings, presenting group information sessions and active participation in signature programming such as Open Houses, Admitted Student Days, Shadow Days, and Orientation." Also "Understand and effectively communicate enrollment and college information." Also "Maintain knowledge of multiple departments which include but are not limited to: Admission, Financial Aid, Student Accounts and Advising." Also "Stay curious about and up to date on all things Merrimack." Also "Build effective professional working relationships with people at all levels across the campus, who are involved in recruitment, enrollment and retention of new undergraduate students." Also "Supervise, provide ongoing training and delegate daily responsibilities to graduate fellow(s)." Also "Application Materials Should Include Resume or CV Cover letter stating motivation and interest in the position, citing experience relevant to the qualifications and including experience with, and commitment to, our Catholic Augustinian mission and our values." That's application instruction, we should remove. Also "Work Location This is an on-campus position as employees are essential in order to provide a fully on-campus, residential college experience for our students and the community. This position is subject to the successful completion of a criminal background check." That's maybe part of About the role or Requirements? It's location and background check. Could be part of About the role. Also "Statement on Our Mission ..." and "About Merrimack College ..." That's boilerplate about institution; we should remove as per instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The mission statement maybe considered boilerplate? It's about mission; but it's not EEO. However instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The mission statement is not explicitly listed to remove, but it's generic about institution. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Mission statement is not those. However later they say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The mission statement is not specific to the job; it's about the college. Might be considered not substantive for the job posting; but they said preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The mission statement is substantive about the institution but not about the role. However they said remove duplicated lines, etc. Not sure. I'd keep it maybe under About the role? But they said "About Merrimack College" is likely boilerplate. I'd remove it to keep focus on role. Similarly "Statement on Our Mission" maybe also boilerplate. I'd remove. Thus we keep: - About the role: includes position overview, reporting line, general description, work location, background check maybe. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: education, experience, driving license. - Qualifications: maybe similar to requirements? But we can combine? However we need headings only if real content. We could put education/experience/license under Requirements, and then skills under Skills. Qualifications maybe not needed if overlapping. But we could put "Qualifications" for things like "Experience with MS Office, Google Suite, Slate CRM, Jenzabar, TES, and other Merrimack and enrollment systems." and "Willingness to work nights and weekends". However those are skills/experience. Might be better to put under Skills. Given the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education, experience, license), Skills (communication, technical, etc.). No Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections because not present. Thus output:

Also work location: "This is an on-campus position as employees are essential in order to provide a fully on-campus, residential college experience for our students and the community. This position is subject to the successful completion of a criminal background check." Add that to About the role.
