We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the job posting.
Let's extract sections:
Job Summary: "Make an impact: The Salem Public Library is seeking a collaborative, engaging, and service-oriented individual whose main objective is to deliver excellent internal and external customer service as an Access & Acquisitions Senior Librarian at Salem Public Library. This position will coordinate and participate in selecting physical and digital materials for the library’s collection to ensure that the library maintains a robust, inclusive, and accessible collection, which aligns with the Salem Public Library’s Collection Development Policy, Strategic Plan, and Mission. The Senior Librarian classification is distinguished from the Librarian classification in that Senior Librarians are responsible for the design and application of the full scope of professional library knowledge and techniques, coordinate more complex and multi-division projects and provide oversight to project members, vendors, or other stakeholders, assumes a greater level of decision-making responsibilities and oversight of lower-level classifications, and/or responsibility of a sub-unit of the Library. Employees work under general supervision. Supervision of other employees is not a responsibility of this classification. Employees in this classification act in a lead role and participate in the Person-In-Charge program."
That's a summary; could be "About the role" maybe.
"Learn And Grow" section: bullet list of benefits: Access to training opportunities..., Opportunities to become involved..., Experiences that further develop..., An opportunity to develop leadership... This is like "Benefits" or "Professional Development". Could be under "Benefits" but we have separate Benefits later.
"What You Will Do": description of duties. Could be "Responsibilities".
"Additional Information On Job Responsibilities": more detailed responsibilities.
"What can we offer for all your hard work?" list: Medical, dental, vision coverage; Paid vacation and sick time; Competitive pay; Employer-paid PERS contribution of 6%; Opportunity for voluntary pre-tax contributions to a 457b account; Health care and dependent care flexible spending accounts; Voluntary long-term care; Employee wellness program; Employee assistance program; Employee health clinic; Position schedule will include working one weekend and one evening shift.; The City of Salem offers a comprehensive and equitable base salary within the listed range based on your experience, skills, and education.

Minimum of two (2) years' progressively responsible professional librarian work or any equivalent combination of education and experience in a public service-related field that demonstrate possession of the knowledge, skills, and abilities as listed, and ability to perform essential job functions.

"What you will bring along (desired):" list of desired skills/experience.
"About Us": description of Salem city, etc. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is about the organization; could be a section but not in allowed headings list? Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. "About Us" not allowed; maybe we can incorporate into "About the role" or drop if not allowed. The instruction: use
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.

"About Us": description of Salem city, etc. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is about the organization; could be a section but not in allowed headings list? Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. "About Us" not allowed; maybe we can incorporate into "About the role" or drop if not allowed. The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should stick to those? Likely we should only use those headings. So we need to map content to those headings.
Thus we need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must include a section only if posting has real specific content for it.
Let's gather content for each:
About the role: Could be the job summary and maybe "Learn And Grow"? Actually "Learn And Grow" is professional development, could be under Benefits? But we have Benefits separate. Could treat "Learn And Grow" as part of Benefits (professional development). But we have Benefits section for medical etc. Could also include under "About the role" a brief description.
Responsibilities: Combine "What You Will Do" and "Additional Information On Job Responsibilities". Should be a list of duties.
Requirements: Minimum qualifications? Could be "Requirements" includes mandatory qualifications: background check, driver's license, 2 years experience, college degree.
Qualifications: Preferred qualifications? Could be "Qualifications" includes preferred: Master's degree, bilingual Spanish.
Skills: Desired skills/experience: "What you will bring along (desired):" list.
Benefits: List of benefits: medical/dental/vision, paid vacation/sick, wellness programs, assistance program, health clinic, etc. Also maybe "Access to training opportunities..." but that's professional development; could be under Benefits as well.
Pay: "Competitive pay." and "Employer-paid PERS contribution of 6%." and "Opportunity for voluntary pre-tax contributions to a 457b account." Also "The City of Salem offers a comprehensive and equitable base salary within the listed range based on your experience, skills, and education." So we have pay info.
Schedule: "Position schedule will include working one weekend and one evening shift."
Now we need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Not present.
We must not include application instructions, duplicated lines, boilerplate.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll produce something like:

We need to ensure we didn't repeat content unnecessarily. Also ensure we didn't include boilerplate like "Hiring managers do not have access to view resumes..." etc. We removed. Check duplicates: We included PERS contribution both in Benefits and Pay; maybe we should keep only once. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine PERS under Benefits or Pay. Since Pay section already mentions PERS, we could remove from Benefits to avoid duplication. But Benefits list includes many items; we could keep PERS under Pay only. However Benefits list originally included "Employer-paid PERS contribution of 6%." It's a benefit. Could keep in Benefits and not repeat in Pay. Let's decide: Keep PERS under Benefits, and Pay just mention competitive pay and base salary range. Also mention voluntary pre-tax contributions maybe also a benefit. But we can keep under Benefits as well. To avoid duplication, maybe keep PERS under Benefits, and Pay just mention competitive pay and base salary range. Also mention voluntary pre-tax contributions maybe also a benefit; but we can keep under Benefits as well. Let's adjust. Thus Benefits list: medical/dental/vision, paid vacation/sick, employer-paid PERS 6%, voluntary pre-tax 457b, health care/flexible spending, voluntary long-term care, employee wellness program, employee assistance program, employee health clinic, access to training opportunities, opportunities to become involved in OLA, experiences developing collection management etc., opportunity to develop leadership/problem-solving as Person-in-Charge. Pay: Competitive pay within an equitable base salary range based on experience, skills, education. Schedule: as before. Now ensure we didn't include any fluff like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now produce HTML. Check for any leftover boilerplate: The "Learn And Grow" bullet points we moved to Benefits. Good. Check "What You Will Do" and "Additional Information On Job Responsibilities" we combined into Responsibilities list. Need to ensure we captured all duties.
