Exercise 02 — Structured Job Extractor

Timebox: 30-45 minutes

Goal

Turn extract_job.py into a reliable structured-output extractor for job postings.

Work in

• extract_job.py
• sample_job_posting.txt

Tasks

1. Keep the output schema strict.
2. Replace the mock response with a real structured-output or tool-call flow.
3. Retry when validation fails.
4. Handle missing compensation fields gracefully.
5. Batch-process multiple postings when the single-item path works.

Done when

• The output validates against the schema
• Bad responses fail clearly instead of silently
• The script can process the sample posting end-to-end
