Vice President of Surveying
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and 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 decide which sections to include: About Us (maybe "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is about company, not role. The instructions list example headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we can use other headings if they match content? It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect those headings only. However we have "About Us" content; maybe we can treat as "About the role"? But it's about company. Could we omit? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. The posting includes "Overview" which is essentially role overview. Could map to "About the role". Responsibilities section is present. Requirements/Education etc. Benefits present. No Pay or Schedule specified. So we should not include Pay or Schedule sections.
Thus sections: About the role (maybe using Overview content), Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications?), Benefits. Possibly also Skills? The posting includes Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities section. Could map to Skills. But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine Requirements and Skills? But better to follow given headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits.
We need to extract content for each.
About the role: Use Overview paragraph(s). The Overview includes multiple paragraphs describing role. We'll combine into
.
Responsibilities: The "Primary Responsibilities" list is long bullet-like sentences each starting with a verb. We'll put each as
- inside
.
Requirements: The "Education, Experience and Desired Qualifications:" section includes bullet-like sentences. We'll treat as Requirements.
Skills: The "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities:" section includes list. We'll treat as Skills.
Benefits: The "Benefits" section includes list of benefits. We'll treat as Benefits.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info.
We need to strip boilerplate like "Full-time Description", "About Us" maybe we keep as part of About the role? Actually About Us is separate company description. Could we include as part of About the role? Might be considered filler? But it's substantive about company. However the instruction headings list does not include "About Us". Could we still include a heading like "About Us"? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those are typical. Safer to stick to those. We could incorporate About Us content into About the role section? Might be odd but still preserve info. Could we create a separate section "About the company"? Not in list. Might be considered not following instruction. Better to include as a
before sections? The instruction says output ONLY the HTML fragment. It didn't forbid extra
not under heading. But they said use
for section headings (e.g...). It didn't say you cannot have other headings, but they gave examples. I'd follow the examples.
Thus we will have sections: About the role (combining Overview and maybe About Us?), Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now extract content.
