We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? The posting includes Introduction, Position Highlights, What We Offer, What You Will Do (Responsibilities), More About The Agency And Facilities, Purpose of Job Class (Nature of Work), Examples of Duties, Knowledge, Skill and Ability (though cut off). Also schedule: Position Highlights includes Full-time (40 hours/week), Sunday - Thursday First shift, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Location. That's schedule info. Pay not mentioned. Benefits: "What We Offer" includes professional growth, healthy work/life balance, link to benefits page. So we can include Benefits section with those bullet points. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. So we need to strip out sections like "Please Note", "Selection Plan", "Before You Apply", "After You Apply", etc. Also remove "PURPOSE OF JOB CLASS (NATURE OF WORK)"? That's substantive; we can keep as a section maybe "Purpose of Job Class". But heading must be h3. Use headings like About the role? The instruction: use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map sections to those headings where appropriate. Use "About the role" for introduction/summary. Use "Responsibilities" for duties. Use "Requirements" maybe for minimum qualifications? But we removed that. Could use "Qualifications" for knowledge, skill, ability. Use "Skills" maybe for specific skills. Use "Benefits". Use "Schedule". Use "About the Agency" maybe not in list but we could use "About the role" for agency description? Better to follow instruction: only use those headings if we have content. If we have content not matching those headings, we could still use h3 but with appropriate heading like "About the Agency". The instruction says use h3 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. Safer to stick to those headings where applicable. We have: Introduction (could be About the role). Position Highlights (Schedule). What We Offer (Benefits). What You Will Do (Responsibilities). More About The Agency And Facilities (maybe About the role or Agency description). Purpose of Job Class (Nature of Work) maybe Responsibilities? But we already have responsibilities. Could combine. Examples of Duties also responsibilities. Knowledge, Skill and Ability -> Qualifications or Skills. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. So we need to include all content from those sections, but we can reorganize under headings. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's extract substantive content: Introduction: "Join Us as an Advanced Clinical Social Worker within our Access Team. The Western Connecticut Mental Health Network (WCMHN), under the umbrella of the State of Connecticut, Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) is seeking an experienced and mission-drive Advanced Clinical Social Worker (PCN 25907) to join our Mobile Crisis/Access team in Torrington. Find out more information on this great opportunity below!" We can keep that as About the role. Position Highlights: "Full-time (40 hours/week), Sunday - Thursday First shift, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Location: 249 Winsted Rd, Torrington, CT" What We Offer: "Visit our new State Employee Benefits Overview page! Professional growth and development opportunities. A healthy work/life balance to all employees." We could make bullet list. What You Will Do: "As a key member of the Mobile Crisis/Access Team, you will deliver essential clinical services and crisis response that promote client safety, stabilization, and connection to care." Then list responsibilities bullet points (the long list). We'll keep them as
  • . More About The Agency And Facilities: paragraph about DMHAS mission, WCMHN formed 1996, three state-operated LMHAs, staff numbers, mission, Access Center description. Purpose of Job Class (Nature of Work): paragraph about accountable for skilled clinical social work treatment and leadership services involving complex case assignments. Examples of Duties: long list bullet points (starting with Independently provides highly skilled direct clinical social work treatment...). Knowledge, Skill and Ability: truncated but we have: "Considerable knowledge ofand ability to instruct others about theories of human behavior, current diagnostic categories of mental illn" (cut off). We'll include what we have. We must not include application instructions etc. Now construct HTML:
