Then open master.html in a text editor, do some smart bulk find and replaces, and you'll be in business. After opening the cleaned up file in Excel, you'll need to un-merge the cells and do a little more cleanup, but it works.

                Philadelphia Media Network – Tech/Product Jobs
              
          
    The Philadelphia Media Network is seeking engineers to join a new development team within its Systems division. As an early engineering hire on this team, you will have a large role in shaping its culture, values, and workflow.
Engineer

Interested? Email us.

The technical stuff:

Rails experience would be great, but at least you should be willing to learn. We will be maintaining and enhancing a Rails CMS built to manage our new mobile app. Don’t worry though, you will be inheriting a stable, well-documented, and test-driven project.
“Fullstack” projects should be comfortable to you. We want engineers who are interested in the entire product development process – understanding needs, vetting technical approaches, planning work to be done, and engineering in an agile manner. Learning and problem solving are two of your favorite things to do.
Git, unit tests, and coding standards are all familiar to you, and you understand why we practice
