We need to output only HTML fragment. Need sections: About the role? The posting has Summary, Required Qualifications and Education, Preferred Qualifications, Primary Duties (list of duties), Salary, Benefits (list). Also maybe Location? Not required as heading. Use

for headings: Summary, Required Qualifications and Education, Preferred Qualifications, Primary Duties, Benefits, Salary? Salary heading maybe "Pay". Use

for Pay. Benefits heading "Benefits". Also maybe "Qualifications" but we have Required and Preferred separate; could combine? But we have specific content for both. Use headings as given: Summary, Required Qualifications and Education, Preferred Qualifications, Primary Duties, Benefits, Pay. Ensure no duplicate content. Remove boilerplate like "Benefits are effective on the first day of employment!" is part of benefits. Keep all. We need to format benefits as
  • . Benefits list: Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance offered. Generous 403B contributions by employer and employee are fully vested after 2 years. Tuition is waived for undergraduate and graduate courses! Up to four weeks of accrued vacation. Work-Life Program to assist in achieving a balanced life between work and personal needs. More benefits can be found on our website at https://www.gvsu.edu/hro/benefits/. Also "Benefits are effective on the first day of employment!" maybe separate sentence but can be included as a

    before list? The instruction: use

    for prose. So we can have a

    for that sentence then

      for list items. Salary: $50,000-$60,000, commensurate with experience. Since "commensurate with experience" is placeholder? It's actual phrase but it's not a specific number; but we still include the salary range. The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting states salary range, so we can include Pay section with that sentence. It includes "commensurate with experience" which is filler but it's part of the sentence; we cannot omit it because it's part of the given text. The rule says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text; but if we include the sentence, it's not just filler; it's the actual content. So okay. Now produce HTML:

      • Outstanding organizational skills and the ability to complete projects on a timely basis and manage multiple priorities
      • Attention to detail and reconciliation experience
      • Proficient with Microsoft Office software suite, in particular Excel

      Preferred Qualifications

      • A minimum three years of related experience with duties outlined above.

      Primary Duties

      • Department Transfer Requests: Manage the inbox for campus-created department transfer Requests. Prepare and enter departmental journal entries, reviewing requests for appropriateness, proper authorization, and compliance with internal standards and policies.
      • Payroll Accounting Adjustments: Prepare and process payroll accounting adjustments, ensuring accurate accounting and appropriate worktag assignments.

      Note: There's duplicate Prepaid Expense Accounting line; we should keep only one occurrence? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplicate line is present in source; we should keep it? It's duplicate substantive info; but we could keep both? Might be redundant but it's in source. Usually we would deduplicate? The rule says preserve ALL substantive information; does not say to deduplicate. Duplicate is still substantive information (same). Safer to keep both? But that looks odd. I'd keep both as separate
    • entries; but they are identical. Might be considered unnecessary but not violating. I'll keep one to avoid redundancy? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Removing a duplicate could be considered summarizing away detail? It's not summarizing; it's removing duplicate identical info. Might be okay. I'd keep one. Now Benefits:

      Salary: $50,000-$60,000, commensurate with experience.

      We should not include location heading. Also not include Division, Campus, GVSU Competencies (boilerplate? It's competencies but maybe not required; it's not a standard heading; but it's substantive? It's a list of competencies. Could be considered as "Qualifications"? But we already have qualifications. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could include as a separate section "Competencies". But the heading list only includes specific headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It says use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). That suggests we should only use those headings. So we should map content to those headings. Not create new headings like "Summary" or "Required Qualifications and Education". We need to fit into allowed headings. The allowed headings are: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must use those exactly? It says use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those headings where appropriate. We need to decide which content goes where. - About the role: could be the Summary. - Responsibilities: Primary Duties. - Requirements: Required Qualifications and Education. - Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications? Or we could combine Required and Preferred under Requirements and Qualifications? But we have both headings. Could put Required under Requirements, Preferred under Qualifications. - Skills: maybe Microsoft Office proficiency etc. But we already have skills in Required. Could put under Skills. - Benefits: as is. - Pay: as is. - Schedule: not present, so omit. We must not create headings not in list. So we need to map. Thus:

      About the role

      This entry-level position processes financial reports, prepares journal entries, and maintains accurate accounting records to support the Financial Reporting team's operations.

      Responsibilities

      • Department Transfer Requests: Manage the inbox for campus-created department transfer Requests. Prepare and enter departmental journal entries, reviewing requests for appropriateness, proper authorization, and compliance with internal standards and policies.
      • Payroll Accounting Adjustments: Prepare and process payroll accounting adjustments, ensuring accurate accounting and appropriate worktag assignments.

      • Outstanding organizational skills and the ability to complete projects on a timely basis and manage multiple priorities
      • Attention to detail and reconciliation experience
      • Proficient with Microsoft Office software suite, in particular Excel

      Qualifications

      • A minimum three years of related experience with duties outlined above.

      Skills

      Proficient with Microsoft Office software suite, in particular Excel (already covered). Could also include communication, organizational, attention to detail. But we might duplicate. Better to keep Skills empty? But we must not emit heading with filler. If we put Skills heading, we need substantive content. We could list skills: Communication, Organizational, Attention to detail, Reconciliation, Microsoft Office (Excel). Those are already in Requirements. Could still list them under Skills. It's not filler. So we can put Skills with those items. Thus:

      Skills

      • Communication skills
      • Organizational skills
      • Attention to detail
      • Reconciliation experience
      • Microsoft Office proficiency (Excel)
      But note we already have those in Requirements; duplication may be okay but maybe considered summarizing? It's still substantive. However instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Having Skills separate may be thin. Could merge Skills into Requirements and omit Skills heading. Since we already have Requirements covering skills, we could omit Skills. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So better to not create Skills if it's thin. We'll omit Skills. Thus we have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Check Benefits: we have Benefits heading. Now ensure we don't include any
