Now, I need to structure this into HTML sections. I should not include the job title as a heading. I should include location and job code as a short
maybe.
Sections to include:
- About the role (or Position Overview)
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (Required Qualifications)
- Preferred Qualifications
- Physical Demands
- Benefits
- About Us (maybe)
- Application Requirements (but the instructions say remove application instructions? It says "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So I should remove application instructions. However, the Application Requirements section might be considered application instructions. But it's part of the job posting. The rule says remove application instructions. I think I should omit the Application Requirements section. Also the contact info at the end is application instruction. So I'll omit that.
Also, the "Other Important Need-to-Know Information" contains EEO, drug-free workplace, background checks, accommodations - that's boilerplate legal/EEO. Should remove.
The "About Us" is company description, could be included as a section.
The "Benefits" section is detailed, so include.
The "Physical Demands" is specific, include.
The "Key Responsibilities" is a long list, include as Responsibilities.
The "Requirements Qualifications Required" and "Qualifications Preferred" can be combined into a Requirements section with sub-lists? But the rule says use
for section headings. I could have "Requirements" as h3, then maybe subheadings? But only h3 allowed. Could do two sections: "Required Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". That's fine.
The "Position Information" paragraph can be "About the Role".
The "Pay is commensurate with education and experience." That's a placeholder, not specific. The rule says never create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "Pay is commensurate with education and experience." That's not specific, so I should not create a Pay section. However, the Benefits section includes "Competitive Salary" and "Per Diem". That's part of Benefits. So I'll include Benefits.
The "Schedule" not mentioned, so no Schedule section.
Now, I need to output HTML fragment.
