VA School Certifying Official I

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Position Information: Hiring Department: Military Student Success Center; Reports To: Manager; Job Location: On-site; El Paso; Posting End Date: Open until filled; Hours: 40 hours per week, standard Monday-Friday 8:00am-5:00pm, flexibility required on evenings and weekends; FLSA status: Exempt; Earliest Start Date: As soon as possible; Salary: $35,568 annually. - Required Application Materials: Resume, Cover Letter, List of three references (these are application instructions; we need to remove application instructions per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should drop the Required Application Materials lines. - Position Summary: description. - Statement Of Duties And Responsibilities: long list. - Supervisory Responsibilities: No supervisory responsibilities. - Qualifications: Required Qualifications: Education: Bachelor’s Degree from a 4-year accredited institution and Experience: One year of experience, related to the statement of duties and responsibilities; or equivalent combination of education and experience. - Why Pick UTEP: description of university. - What UTEP Offers Miner Perks and Benefits: list of benefits. - Additional Information: includes security-sensitive, driver's license, physical demands, EEO statement etc. We need to remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve substantive information: duties, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule, etc. We need sections: maybe About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (qualifications), Benefits (perks), Pay (salary), Schedule (hours). Possibly Skills? Not explicitly listed but could infer from duties; but we should not create sections without specific content. The posting mentions "Knowledge of all Microsoft Office software and able to learn and use institutional software systems." That's a skill. Could include under Skills. But we need to decide. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:

We might combine duplicate lines: there are two similar lines about processing VA certifications; we can keep both but they are similar; maybe we can deduplicate? The instruction: "Remove duplicated lines". So we should remove duplicate sentences. The first bullet: "Processes approximately 2,000+ incoming VA certifications, ensures necessary documents are submitted, calculates tuition and fees, and performs data entry as necessary via UTEP/VA systems such as Perceptive Content, Banner, and Enrollment Manager (EM)." The second bullet: "Processes incoming VA certification requests, ensures necessary documents are submitted, and performs data entry as necessary." This is not exactly duplicate but similar; but we could keep both as they add nuance (first includes volume, calculations, systems). We'll keep both. Now Qualifications/Requirements section: The posting has "Qualifications" heading with Required Qualifications: Education: Bachelor’s Degree from a 4-year accredited institution and Experience: One year of experience, related to the statement of duties and responsibilities; or equivalent combination of education and experience. We could put under

Requirements

or

Qualifications

. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to pick appropriate ones. We have both Requirements and Qualifications; maybe we combine them into one section called Requirements (or Qualifications). Since they ask to prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones, we could combine Education and Experience into Requirements. We'll use

Requirements

and list education and experience. We also have Skills: knowledge of Microsoft Office, ability to learn institutional software systems. Could be a Skills section. Benefits: The posting lists "What UTEP Offers Miner Perks and Benefits Benefit Package includes: Medical, Prescription, Life Insurance and Wellness platform Voluntary Benefits: Dental, Vision, Additional life insurance, UT Flex, Short and Long - term disability plans Retirement Programs Longevity Pay Paid Vacation & Sick Leave Paid Holidays Employee Discounts & Perks Employee Education Assistance program And much more! Visit our Benefits Summary Page for more information on our additional benefits." We need to extract substantive benefits: Medical, Prescription, Life Insurance, Wellness platform; Dental, Vision, Additional life insurance, UT Flex, Short and Long term disability plans; Retirement Programs; Longevity Pay; Paid Vacation & Sick Leave; Paid Holidays; Employee Discounts & Perks; Employee Education Assistance program. We'll put those in a

. Pay: Salary: $35,568 annually. Schedule: Hours: 40 hours per week, standard Monday-Friday 8:00am-5:00pm, flexibility required on evenings and weekends. We also have FLSA status: Exempt; Earliest Start Date: As soon as possible; Job Location: On-site; El Paso; Reporting to Manager; Department: Military Student Success Center. These could be placed in About the role or maybe a separate section like "Position Details". But we only have allowed headings; we could incorporate location, schedule, etc. The schedule we already have. Location could be in About the role paragraph. We need to avoid boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. The Additional Information includes many legal statements; we should drop those. Also remove "Why Pick UTEP" description? That's promotional but maybe considered substantive? It's about the university; could be considered "About the role" or maybe we could include a section "About UTEP". But not in allowed headings. The instruction says use headings for those specific categories; we could include "About the role" to include position summary and maybe also include why UTEP? But that's not about the role. However we could incorporate it into About the role as extra context. But we should not invent sections. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could have About the role (includes position summary and maybe why UTEP). But the why UTEP is not about the role but about the employer; still could be considered part of the role description. It's okay. We need to ensure we don't include headings with empty content. Thus final HTML:
