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. The posting includes: Job Summary (maybe About the role). Primary Duties And Responsibilities (Responsibilities). Minimum Qualifications (Requirements/Qualifications). Preferred Qualifications (maybe Qualifications). Knowledge, Skills & Abilities (Skills). About The University Of Southern Mississippi (maybe About the role? Actually "About The University Of Southern Mississippi" is about the university, not role. But we could treat that 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 those headings. The posting does not contain Benefits, Pay, Schedule specifics. So we should not include those sections. Also we should not repeat job title as heading. Also we should not include metadata like location, division, etc unless we fold into short p. We can include location etc in a short p maybe under About the role? But we should preserve all substantive information. So we need to include location, division, position type, employment status, grant funded, pay grade, posting close date, special instructions (visa). Those are substantive. We can put them in a

after the heading maybe "About the role" or maybe a separate "Details"? But only allowed headings are those listed. We could put metadata under About the role as a paragraph. Or we could create a

before sections. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include location etc in a short p. Probably best to have a

with location, division, position type, employment status, grant funded, pay grade, posting close date, special instructions. Then sections: About the role (maybe job summary + about university?), Responsibilities, Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (knowledge, skills & abilities). No Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must preserve all substantive information: job summary, duties, minimum qualifications, preferred qualifications, knowledge skills abilities, about university. Also location etc. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove that. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to copy text verbatim? Probably we can keep the sentences as is, but we can format into

  • for lists. For duties, we have a paragraph with many sentences separated by periods. We could split into list items each duty. The instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert the duties into list items. Similarly for minimum qualifications, preferred qualifications, knowledge skills abilities. We need to preserve all substantive information: not lose any detail. So we need to ensure each duty sentence becomes a list item. Let's extract duties from "Primary Duties And Responsibilities" paragraph. Paragraph: "Makes at least 70 daily outbound calls to sell tickets and increase the fan base and revenue streams through season packages, group tickets, and ticket donations.Meets or exceeds predetermined daily, weekly, monthly, and overall ticket and revenue goals for season tickets, partial ticket plans, group tickets, and ticket donations for all six ticketed sports (football, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, softball, and volleyball)Self-prospects new season ticket and group ticket buyers to generate new leads. Works with marketing staff to develop group leads through the creation and development of themed group nights and create relationships in the organization to increase the reach and success of promotional events. Answers inbound sales and service calls, providing assistance and customer service to customers. Utilizes the CRM software to manage accounts, settle disputes, and analyze customer trends to further revenue and attendance.Works various sporting events and community events promoting Southern Miss Tickets and developing leads and selling direct to consumers.

We need to split into separate items at each sentence. Note there are no spaces after periods in some places (e.g., "...donations.Meets"). We'll need to add space manually but preserve meaning. We'll create list items. Similarly Minimum Qualifications: "Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university in management, sport management, business, marketing, or other related field. One to two years related experience and/or training in a related field." Preferred Qualifications: "Experience with higher education institution preferred." Knowledge, Skills & Abilities: list of abilities each separated by semicolon? Actually it's a long sentence with many abilities separated by semicolons. We'll split each ability into list items. About The University Of Southern Mississippi: paragraph. We also need About the role heading: maybe combine Job Summary and About The University? The instruction: About the role heading for section headings e.g. About the role. So we could put Job Summary under About the role. And maybe also include a brief about the role? The job summary is: "An Account Executive of Ticket Sales whose main responsibility is to call on potential customers for season and group ticket sales for Southern Miss sports events in order to meet individual and department-wide ticket and revenue goals. Also assists with ticket operations duties for select sports and Eagle Club efforts to increase memberships and promote donations." We'll put that as a

      under About the role. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll structure:

      Location: Hattiesburg, 118 College Drive, Hattiesburg, Mississippi, 39406-0001, United States. Division: Ticket Office. Position Type: Staff. Employment Status: Full Time. Grant Funded: No. Pay Grade: N04. Posting Close Date: Open until filled. Special Instructions: Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis without the need for visa sponsorship. The University will not sponsor applicants for work visas (e.g., H-1B).

      Then sections:

      We should not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Check that we preserved all substantive info: location, division, position type, employment status, grant funded, pay grade, posting close date, special instructions, job summary, duties, minimum qualifications, preferred qualifications, knowledge skills abilities, about university? Wait we omitted About The University Of Southern Mississippi paragraph. We need to include that somewhere. Perhaps under About the role we could add a second paragraph about the university. Or we could add a separate section "About the university" but not allowed headings. We could include it as a

      after About the role or before sections. The instruction: About the role heading for section headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities... So we could put the university description under About the role as well, maybe as a second paragraph. That would preserve it. Thus About the role will have two

      elements: job summary and university description. Let's add:
