Advisor - Analytical Chemistry

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have "About This Opportunity", "Position Responsibilities", "Basic Qualifications", "Additional Skills/Preferences", "Additional Information". Also location and maybe compensation? There's mention of compensation: "Actual compensation will depend on a candidate’s education, experience, skills, and geographic location. The anticipated wage for this position is Full-time equivalent employees also will be eligible for a company bonus..." That's vague; we should not create Pay section unless specific numbers. So skip Pay. Benefits: there is description of benefits: "In addition, Lilly offers a comprehensive benefit program..." That's specific enough to create Benefits section. Schedule: maybe not specified; only mention full-time? Not explicit schedule. So skip Schedule. We need headings:

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content to appropriate headings. We have "About This Opportunity" -> could be "About the role". Use

About the role

. "Position Responsibilities" ->

Responsibilities

. "Basic Qualifications" ->

Qualifications

(or Requirements). Use Qualifications. "Additional Skills/Preferences" ->

Skills

. "Additional Information" includes location, exposure, travel, accommodation, EEO, benefits. We'll extract location and maybe travel etc. Benefits separate. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate like EEO, accommodation request, etc. But we need to keep location and maybe travel? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove EEO statement, accommodation request, employee resource groups list? That's likely boilerplate. Also remove "Lilly is dedicated to helping individuals with disabilities..." etc. Also remove "#WeAreLilly". Keep location: "Position Location: Indianapolis, IN Lilly Technology Center - North (LTC-N)". Keep travel: "Occasional travel (0 to 10%)". Keep exposure: "Possible exposure to chemicals, allergens, and loud noises". Keep "Laboratory-based position with daily hands-on experimental work". Keep maybe "Additional Information" but we can split into location, travel, exposure etc. But we need to keep them under a section maybe "Additional Information" but we have no heading for that; we could put under

Additional Information

but not in list of allowed headings? The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use

for section headings (e.g. ...)" implying those are examples; we could still use other headings but better to stick to those. However we have info that doesn't fit those categories: location, travel, exposure. Could we incorporate them into Benefits? No. Could we put them under "About the role"? Might be okay to add a paragraph after About the role. Or we could create a section "Additional Information" but not in list; risk. The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests we should use those headings for sections; but not strictly prohibited to use others. However to be safe, we can embed location/travel/exposure in a

under About the role or Responsibilities. Probably better to put them under About the role as extra details. Benefits: we have description of benefits; we can create

Benefits

with

• items. We must not repeat job title as heading. No job ID. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's extract content. About the role: combine the overview paragraphs about Lilly, SMDD, opportunity. Keep substantive info. We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like "At Lilly, the work is demanding because patients are waiting..." etc. Also "Organization Overview ..." etc. Also "About This Opportunity ..." etc. We'll combine into a few paragraphs. Responsibilities: list bullet points from "Position Responsibilities". We'll convert each sentence into
• . Qualifications: list basic qualifications: PhD..., Master's..., Bachelor's... We'll put as
  • . Skills: list additional skills/preferences bullet points. Benefits: list benefits: company-sponsored 401(k); pension; vacation benefits; medical, dental, vision and prescription drug benefits; flexible benefits (healthcare and/or dependent day care flexible spending accounts); life insurance and death benefits; certain time off and leave of absence benefits; well-being benefits (employee assistance program, fitness benefits, employee clubs and activities). Also mention company bonus eligibility. Also mention "Full-time equivalent employees also will be eligible for a company bonus (depending, in part, on company and individual performance)." We'll include that. We should not include boilerplate like "Actual compensation will depend..." etc. We'll skip compensation. We'll also include location, travel, exposure maybe as a paragraph under About the role after the opportunity description. Let's craft. HTML:
