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.

Then there is EQUAL OPPORTUNITY etc which is boilerplate to remove. We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe from the introductory paragraph after "The work you'll do..."). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (minimum qualifications). Qualifications (maybe preferred qualifications). Skills (maybe computer skills etc). Benefits (list). Pay (salary range). Schedule (work shift/hours, days, telework). We must not create sections with placeholder or vague content. We need to decide which sections have real specific content. - About the role: we have a paragraph describing role: "The work you'll do is more than just a job..." plus the description of Accounting Officer duties. Could be considered About the role. - Responsibilities: we have list of duties: performs accounts payable and receivable functions, reviews and codes grant and loan disbursement requests, processes loan repayments, maintains accurate accounting records, assists with preparing financial reports, supports budget development, collaborates closely with MPFA staff, member agencies, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to ensure accurate data reporting and compliance, contributes to development and improvement of MPFA data management systems and tools, helps ensure timely, accurate, and efficient financial and programmatic reporting. Also telework eligible (but that's schedule). So we can put those in

• . - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications: two years accounting experience including AP/AR, reviewing financial transactions, maintaining accounting records. Also knowledge of GAAP, experience preparing/analyzing financial reports, budgets, fiscal info, experience with accounting/financial management systems (SWIFT), ability to interpret/apply accounting policies, grant requirements, financial admin procedures, advanced computer skills (proficiency with MS Excel and Access), ability to work independently, manage multiple deadlines, exercise sound judgment. That's specific. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications: list as above. That's specific. - Skills: Could be derived from computer skills etc but we already have computer skills in Requirements. Could separate "Skills" for things like proficiency with MS Excel and Access, ability to work independently, etc. But we might combine. However we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can put Skills as a subsection of Requirements? But the instruction: Use sections only when posting has real specific content for it. We have specific skills: proficiency with Microsoft Excel and Access, ability to work independently, manage multiple deadlines, exercise sound judgment, knowledge of GAAP, etc. Those are already in Requirements. Could still make a Skills section listing those. But we risk duplication. Better to keep Requirements and Qualifications, and maybe not have Skills separate unless we have distinct skill list not covered elsewhere. The posting includes "Advanced computer skills, including proficiency with Microsoft Excel and Access." That's a skill. Also "Ability to work independently, manage multiple deadlines, and exercise sound judgment." Those are more abilities. Could be considered skills. But we already have them in Requirements. To avoid thin sections, we could omit Skills section. - Benefits: we have a detailed list. So include Benefits. - Pay: we have salary range. Include Pay. - Schedule: we have Work Shift/Work Hours: Day Shift, 8:00AM - 4:30PM; Days of Work: Monday - Friday; Travel Required: No; Telework Eligible: Yes, may be eligible for some telework. So we can include Schedule. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:

  We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract details precisely. About the role: The paragraph: "The work you'll do is more than just a job. At the State of Minnesota, employees play a critical role in developing policies, providing essential services, and working to improve the well-being and quality of life for all Minnesotans. The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, and invests in employees by providing benefits, support resources, and training and development opportunities. The Accounting Officer supports the financial operations of the Minnesota Public Facilities Authority (MPFA). This position performs accounts payable and receivable functions, reviews and codes grant and loan disbursement requests, processes loan repayments, and maintains accurate accounting records for a large and complex portfolio of loan and grant programs. The role assists with preparing financial reports, supports budget development, and collaborates closely with MPFA staff, member agencies, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to ensure accurate data reporting and compliance with federal and state requirements. The Accounting Officer also contributes to the development and improvement of MPFA data management systems and tools, helping ensure timely, accurate, and efficient financial and programmatic reporting. This position is telework eligible. Staff are provided with the tools and equipment to be successful in a virtual work environment. Please note, the telework policy could change with notice based on business needs. This posting may be used to fill multiple positions." We should keep that as About the role. Might be long but okay. Responsibilities: Could be derived from same paragraph but we might split. However to avoid duplication, we could keep About the role as overview and Responsibilities as bullet list of duties. But the bullet list would be similar to sentences in About the role. That's okay as long as we preserve all info. We'll extract duties: - Performs accounts payable and receivable functions - Reviews and codes grant and loan disbursement requests - Processes loan repayments - Maintains accurate accounting records for a large and complex portfolio of loan and grant programs - Assists with preparing financial
