We need to output HTML fragment with sections for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule only if present. We must not repeat job title. Remove boilerplate. Keep substantive info.
Let's parse content.
Job posting includes:
- Date Posted, Country, Location, Position Role Type: Onsite, U.S. Citizen etc. We can fold minor metadata into short p or drop. Probably include location and maybe shift info.
- "Join our dynamic team at Collins Aerospace as a Test Technician..." That's about the role.
- "What You Will Do" list: bullet points.
- "Qualifications You Must Have": list.
- "What We Offer": benefits description.
- Also mention "Excellent pay" but no specific amount. Pay section only if posting actually states them. It says "Excellent pay" but no numbers; we should not create Pay section unless actual pay stated. Since it's vague, we should not include Pay section.
- Schedule: mentions "This is a 2nd shift role. Must be willing and able to work 2nd shift. New Hire Training is typically on 1st shift. Must be able train on 1st shift for 4+ weeks. This is a 100% onsite role." So schedule info present: 2nd shift, training on 1st shift for 4+ weeks, onsite. So we can include Schedule section.
- Benefits: "What We Offer Excellent pay Benefits including Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance all available on Day 1. Retirement Program with a Company Match. And much more". Also later more details about benefits. So we can include Benefits section.
- About the role: we can have a section About the role with prose summarizing role.
- Responsibilities: from "What You Will Do" list.
- Requirements: maybe combine citizenship, HS diploma, CETa exam, ability to lift 25 lbs, etc. But we also have Qualifications section. The posting has both "Qualifications You Must Have" and also earlier "U.S. Citizen, U.S. Person, or Immigration Status Requirements". We can combine into Requirements section (citizenship, education, experience, CETa, ability to lift, shift willingness). Qualifications could be separate but maybe we can treat Qualifications as same as Requirements? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications if distinct. The posting has "Qualifications You Must Have" which includes citizenship, HS diploma, CETa exam, ability to read schematics, etc. Also earlier "U.S. citizenship is required..." duplicates. We'll keep Qualifications as that list. Requirements could be things like "U.S. citizenship required", "Ability to lift/carry up to 25 lbs", "Willing to work 2nd shift", "Must be able to train on 1st shift for 4+ weeks". But those overlap. Might be okay to have both but ensure not duplicate content. We'll try to split: Requirements: citizenship, lift ability, shift willingness, training schedule. Qualifications: education (HS diploma or 2 years experience), CETa exam, ability to read schematics, analyze circuits, follow instructions, basic troubleshooting, problem solving, work independently/in group, knowledge of electronic theory.
But we must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from posting.
Let's extract details:
