We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invented or summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Benefits: we have pay range $34.00 - $34.00/hr (so exact). Benefits listed. So we can include Pay and Benefits sections. Schedule: we have hybrid position in Buffalo, NY. That's schedule? It's workplace type. Could be considered Schedule? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include Schedule if we have info: "This is a hybrid position in Buffalo, NY." That's workplace type, not schedule like full-time/part-time. Might still be considered schedule? Probably we can include Schedule with that info. However we need to ensure we don't create sections with placeholder. We have actual content: hybrid position. So include Schedule. We need About the role: description overview. Responsibilities: list of duties. Requirements: maybe experience level intermediate, contract, location. Qualifications: maybe systems & technical skills required. Skills: key traits for success. Benefits: list. Pay: pay range. Schedule: hybrid position. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. Must not include application deadline? That's application instructions; we should remove. Also remove About TEKsystems boilerplate. Remove EEO etc. Remove legal stuff like San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance etc. Remove AI usage note. Remove "Application Deadline". Remove "About TEKsystems" sections. Remove "Eligibility requirements apply..." maybe part of benefits but we can keep benefits description but need to keep substantive info. The benefits list includes many items; we can keep them. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep details like: "Supporting the ACL process and calculations. Analyzing financial and portfolio data. Preparing reporting and presentations. Assisting with SEC reporting requirements. Ensuring accuracy and compliance in financial reporting activities." That's part of description. Also overview: "Supports all accounting-related activities, projects, analysis and/or conversions for an assigned area outside Finance. Responsible for development and management of operational accounting control functions..." etc. We need to keep that. We must not create sections with filler. So we need to decide which sections to include. Potential sections: - About the role: could contain the description overview (first paragraph) and maybe the "OVERVIEW:" block. - Responsibilities: could contain the "PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES:" list and maybe "Day-to-Day Responsibilities" etc. - Requirements: could contain "Experience Level Intermediate Level", "Job Type & Location Contract position based out of Buffalo, NY." Also maybe "Systems & Technical Skills Required" could be under Qualifications or Skills. - Qualifications: maybe "Systems & Technical Skills Required" and "Preferred Basic SQL knowledge", "Data Environment..." etc. - Skills: "Key Traits for Success" bullet points. - Benefits: list of benefits. - Pay: pay range. - Schedule: "This is a hybrid position in Buffalo, NY." Also maybe "Workplace Type This is a hybrid position in Buffalo,NY." We must not include "Application Deadline". Must not include "About TEKsystems". Must not include EEO etc. We must output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences. Let's extract substantive content.
