Advanced Practice Professional - Peds CICU

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real content. The posting includes: description (About the role), Minimum Qualifications (for NP and PA), Preferred Qualifications, Core Duties and Responsibilities, Physical Requirements, Working Environment, Skills And Abilities, Scheduled Weekly Hours, Shift Varied, Exempt/Non-Exempt, Company, Cost Center, Address, etc. No explicit Pay, Benefits, Schedule (though schedule: Scheduled Weekly Hours 40, Shift Varied). That could be considered Schedule section. Benefits not mentioned. Pay not mentioned. So we should not create Pay or Benefits sections. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: welcome, apply button, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to decide sections: About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (Core Duties and Responsibilities). Requirements (Minimum Qualifications). Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). Skills (Skills And Abilities). Schedule (Scheduled Weekly Hours, Shift Varied, Exempt/Non-Exempt). Possibly also Physical Requirements and Working Environment could be part of Requirements or separate? But we only have allowed headings list; we could put them under Requirements or maybe under a generic section? The instruction: "Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples but we can use others? It says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely we should stick to those headings only. So we need to map content to those headings. Physical Requirements and Working Environment could go under Requirements (maybe as subpoints). Or we could omit if not fitting? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop Physical Requirements. So we need to include them somewhere. Could put them under Requirements as a list. Similarly, Skills And Abilities under Skills. Schedule: Scheduled Weekly Hours 40, Shift Varied, Exempt/Non-Exempt. We also have Company, Cost Center, Address - maybe not needed? Could be considered metadata; we could fold into a short p under About the role? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it." So we can include company, cost center, address in a short p maybe under About the role or separate? Probably under About the role as a brief note. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:
