We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections present. Need to parse the job posting and extract sections: About the role? Not present. Responsibilities? Yes: Principal Responsibilities (list). Requirements? Knowledge, Skills and Abilities, Minimum Experience And Qualifications, Desirable Qualifications, Working Environment, Physical And Mental Job Requirements. Benefits, Pay, Schedule not present, so omit. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, we need to break into bullet points. The responsibilities are a long paragraph with many sentences; we can split each sentence into list items. Must preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to list each responsibility as separate
  • . Similarly for knowledge/skills/abilities: list items. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we will have sections: Responsibilities, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (maybe combine?), Minimum Experience and Qualifications, Desirable Qualifications, Working Environment, Physical and Mental Job Requirements. Also maybe "Supervision Received" and "Supervision Exercised" could be sections? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. We could include Supervision Received/Exercised as part of Responsibilities or separate? Probably better to include under Responsibilities as they are part of role. But we could also make a section "Supervision". However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine supervision info into Responsibilities or maybe a "Supervision" section if it's substantive. It is substantive but could be part of Responsibilities. I'd include it under Responsibilities as bullet points. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to extract each sentence. Let's parse the text. First paragraph: "Basic Function Of Position Provides finance & accounting services to the various Divisions within the UFA, with primary responsibility for Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable operations. Works across diverse programs and frequently demonstrates broad knowledge due to cross-boundary specialties. Serves as subject matter expert for Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable system modules." That's basically a summary; could be under "About the role" but instruction says do not repeat job title as heading; we could still have an "About the role" section with that summary. It's substantive. So include

    About the role

    with

    containing that summary. Next: "Supervision Received Works under the general direction of the UFA's Chief Financial Officer and/or Assistant Finance Director. Expected to function independently by using personal initiative to plan, carry out, and balance individual assignments." That's supervision received. "Supervision Exercised Generally supervises Accounts Payable/Accounts Receivable staff, including participating in hiring decisions, setting individual performance goals, conducting periodic performance evaluations, imposing disciplinary action, approving vacation and leave requests, arranging employee training opportunities, etc." We can combine these under a "Supervision" section or include in Responsibilities. I'd make a separate "Supervision" section with two subpoints? But instruction says prefer few substantive sections; we could incorporate into Responsibilities as bullet points. However the responsibilities section already long; adding supervision bullets may be okay. But we need to follow instruction: Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings but suggests those as typical. I'd stick to those categories: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe split into Knowledge, Skills and Abilities, Minimum Experience and Qualifications, Desirable Qualifications, Working Environment, Physical and Mental Job Requirements). Could also have "Qualifications" heading covering minimum experience etc. But we need to preserve all info. Simplify: Use sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities, Minimum Experience and Qualifications, Desirable Qualifications, Working Environment, Physical and Mental Job Requirements. We'll put supervision bullets under Responsibilities. Now extract responsibilities list from "Principal Responsibilities" paragraph and subsequent sentences. Let's copy the responsibilities text: "Principal Responsibilities Performs and supervises purchasing card program administration duties, including online account maintenance, transaction and receipt review, accounting system imports, and cardholder/approver assistance. Develops and delivers training for the purchasing card program. Oversees AP/AR processes and reviews work to ensure accuracy and completeness, including purchase orders as well as customer and vendor invoices.

Now we need to split each sentence into bullet items. Ensure we keep all details. Let's list each sentence: 1. Performs and supervises purchasing card program administration duties, including online account maintenance, transaction and receipt review, accounting system imports, and cardholder/approver assistance. 2.
