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 — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting.

We need to decide sections.
We have:
- About the role: "About This Position" content: Instruct and assist year-four professional veterinary students. Maintain equipment and supplies inventory in clinical areas. Provide high quality veterinary technical assistance in the Field Services department of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH). That's prose.
- Responsibilities: maybe we can infer from about this position? But we have no explicit responsibilities list. The about this position includes duties. Could treat as responsibilities. However we need to decide sections based on actual headings present. The posting includes "About This Position", "Required Qualifications", "Skills, Proficiencies, and/or Knowledge:", "Preferred Qualifications", "Certifications, Registrations, And/or Licenses". Also "Work Schedule", "Hiring Range". Also "Contact Name & Email". Also "Appointment Length". Also "Priority Application Date". Also "Special Instructions to Applicants". Those are metadata but we need to decide whether to include sections for them.
We must not create sections for Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. It does state Work Schedule and Hiring Range (Pay). So we can include Schedule and Pay sections. Benefits not mentioned, so omit.
We also have Contact info; could be minor metadata folded into a short
or drop it. Probably we can include a short
for contact info.
Appointment Length: "Regular Continuous/Until Further Notice" - could be minor metadata.
Priority Application Date: text about applications accepted until hired; encourage early submission. Could be minor metadata.
Special Instructions to Applicants: instructions to include resume, cover letter, references. That's application instructions; we are told to remove application instructions. So drop that.
Thus we will keep:
- Contact info (maybe as a
)
- Work Schedule (as
Schedule
with content)
- Hiring Range (as
Pay
with content)
- About the role (as
About the role
with content)
- Responsibilities? Not separate; we could combine with About the role. But we could also create Responsibilities section using the same content? Might be redundant. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role covering description; maybe Responsibilities not needed.
- Required Qualifications: we can make a section
Requirements
or Qualifications
. The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can use Qualifications
for required qualifications. Use - for list.
- Skills, Proficiencies, and/or Knowledge: we can use
Skills
with - .
- Preferred Qualifications: maybe also under Qualifications? Could be separate
Preferred Qualifications
but instruction says prefer few sections; we could combine required and preferred into Qualifications? But they are distinct. Could make a Qualifications
with two sublists? But we need to follow instruction: Use headings for sections; we can have Qualifications and maybe Preferred Qualifications as separate if they have content. However we might combine them under Qualifications with headings inside? Not allowed; only headings are . Could have Qualifications
and then within that we can have
for required and
for preferred? But we need to use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we could have two lists: required qualifications and preferred qualifications under same Qualifications heading. That's acceptable.
- Certifications, Registrations, And/or Licenses: could be part of Qualifications as well.
Thus final sections:
- Contact info (maybe as
at top)
- Schedule (
Schedule
)
- Pay (Pay
)
- About the role (About the role
)
- Qualifications (Qualifications
) containing required qualifications list, preferred qualifications list, certifications list.
- Skills (Skills
) containing skills list.

Priority Application Date: "While applications will be accepted until a successful candidate has been hired, interested parties are encouraged to submit their materials as soon as possible to ensure full consideration."
