We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Content: Intro paragraph: "Solutions for Today’s Challenges. Vision for Tomorrow’s Opportunities. Join William Blair, the Premier Global Partnership.

That's more about program. Then "Once you have submitted your application, you will receive a link to complete our pre-interview assessment, Suited, which will need to be completed within 48 hours. Please monitor your spam folder, as the email may get caught in spam filters." That's application instruction, should be removed. Then "William Blair is not currently hiring individuals for this position who now or in the future require sponsorship for employment visa status." That's maybe a note but could be considered boilerplate? It's a restriction; maybe keep? It's not a standard EEO but it's a specific requirement. Might keep as part of Requirements? But we can include as a note in Requirements. Then "A reasonable estimate of the current base salary range at time of posting is below. Salary Range $110,000—$110,000 USD" That's Pay section. Then "About Our Firm" paragraph describing firm. That could be About the role? Actually "About Our Firm" is separate but we can treat as About the role? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings. We have: - About the role: could be the intro paragraph describing the program and firm? Or we could use "About Our Firm" as About the role? Probably "About the role" should describe the role/program. We'll use the intro paragraph plus maybe the bullet list of opportunities as Responsibilities? Actually bullet list are opportunities/responsibilities. So we can put those under Responsibilities. - Requirements: maybe visa sponsorship note? Or location willingness? Might be better to put location willingness under Requirements? Or maybe under Qualifications? Actually Qualifications already present. - Qualifications: we have the list under "Qualifications" heading. - Skills: maybe computer skills etc. But those are already in Qualifications. Could separate Skills: strong computer skills etc. But we can keep Qualifications as is and maybe not have separate Skills if redundant. - Benefits: not mentioned explicitly besides maybe "Be a part of a firm that is 100% owned by active partners" etc. Not clear benefits. No explicit benefits like health, etc. So we may omit Benefits. - Pay: we have salary range. - Schedule: we have 9-week program duration. Could be schedule. Thus sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (bullet list), Qualifications (the qualifications list), Pay (salary range), Schedule (9-week program). Possibly also Requirements (location willingness, visa sponsorship note). Let's include Requirements: willingness to be located in Chicago or New York, and visa sponsorship restriction. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, scam warnings, privacy policies, etc. Remove those. We must preserve all substantive information. Let's extract substantive content: Intro paragraph (multiple sentences). We'll keep as

. Bullet list: each as

under

. Qualifications list: It's a paragraph with many items separated by periods. Could break into
• for each qualification. Let's parse: "Pursuing undergraduate bachelor’s degree with anticipated graduation between December 2027 - June 2028" "Cumulative GPA of 3.5 or above preferred (but open to all applicants)" "Undergraduate major: all majors considered (field of life science preferred)" "Science background strongly preferred." "Demonstrated interest in the life sciences and understanding of scientific concepts" "General understanding of accounting and finance" "Strong analytical and quantitative skills" "Exceptional verbal and written communication skills" "Strong computer skills, specifically Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint" "You are adaptable in an ever-changing environment and can manage through change with a high degree of emotional maturity" "You are highly motivated, detail oriented, and thrive in a collaborative environment" "Willingness to be located in Chicago or New York" Note: The last one about location could be under Requirements instead. We'll keep qualifications as list. Requirements: maybe "Willingness to be located in Chicago or New York" and "William Blair is not currently hiring individuals for this position who now or in the future require sponsorship for employment visa status." Also maybe "Throughout the 9-week program, summer analysts are evaluated for opportunities in our full-time class, upon graduation." That's more about program outcome; could be under Responsibilities or About the role. Might be better as a note under Responsibilities? But it's not a duty. Could be under About the role? We'll maybe include as a separate sentence in About the role? But we already have intro. Could add a paragraph about evaluation. But we must not invent. Let's keep that sentence as a separate

  maybe under About the role or Responsibilities? It's about evaluation for full-time opportunities. Could be under About the role as part of program description. Schedule: "Throughout the 9-week program" indicates schedule length. Also "9-week program" repeated. So schedule: 9-week summer program. Pay: Salary Range $110,000—$110,000 USD. Now produce HTML. We must not include markdown fences. Just raw HTML. Structure:

  Schedule

  9‑week summer program

  Check for any duplicated content: We used "9-week program" in responsibilities bullet and schedule. That's fine. We omitted "About Our Firm" paragraph; maybe we should include as About the role? But we already have intro describing the program and firm. The "About Our Firm" paragraph is more generic about firm; could be considered boilerplate? It's not specific to the role but still substantive about firm. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could include as part of About the role. But we already have intro; we could add another paragraph after intro about firm. However that might be considered boilerplate? It's describing the firm's history, values, etc. Might be considered generic but still substantive. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam
