We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content. We have Position Overview (maybe About the role). Then Description Of Duties/Essential Functions -> Responsibilities. Minimum Requirements -> Requirements? Also preferences -> Qualifications? Skills? We'll decide. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Applications accepted from: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED PN# 39566" maybe metadata? It says fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. We can include a short paragraph with location and workdays? But we have separate sections for Schedule maybe. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract: - Position Overview: Applications accepted from: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED PN# 39566 Division: Customer Experience Section: History Research Centers Reporting Location: Gregory School, 1300 Victor Street Workdays & Hours : Monday- Saturday, 8am - 8pm* (varies) Subject to change We can put location and work hours maybe in About the role paragraph. - Description Of Duties/Essential Functions: list of duties. - Minimum Requirements: education/experience, license requirement, etc. - Preferences: list of preferred skills/knowledge. - GENERAL INFORMATION: SELECTION / SKILLS TESTS REQUIRED - None (maybe not needed). SAFETY IMPACT POSITION - Yes (random drug testing). SALARY INFORMATION: factors, PAY GRADE: 23. No explicit salary number, but pay grade is given. Should we include Pay section? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It states PAY GRADE: 23, which is pay info. So we can include Pay section with that detail. Schedule: Workdays & Hours: Monday- Saturday, 8am - 8pm* (varies) Subject to change, plus Work one evening per month and a weekend rotation (Saturday/Sunday). So we have schedule info. So include Schedule section. Benefits: not mentioned. So omit Benefits. Now we need sections: About the role (maybe Position Overview). Responsibilities (duties). Requirements (minimum requirements). Qualifications (preferences?). Skills (maybe combine preferences? Could also put preferences under Skills). But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine Qualifications and Skills into one? But we have headings list; we can choose to include only those with substantive content. Let's decide: - About the role: location, division, reporting, workdays/hours maybe. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: minimum requirements (education/experience, license). - Qualifications: preferences (oral history skills, video editing, etc.) maybe also include knowledge of systems, standards, etc. - Skills: maybe we could omit if overlapping; but we could put specific skills under Qualifications. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Qualifications and Skills into one section called Qualifications (or Skills). But we need to use headings exactly as given? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't say we must use all; we can choose which to include. So we could include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. That's six sections. We must not include empty headings. Now we need to preserve all substantive information. Let's capture details. About the role: Division: Customer Experience; Section: History Research Centers; Reporting Location: Gregory School, 1300 Victor Street; Workdays & Hours: Monday- Saturday, 8am - 8pm* (varies) Subject to change; Also note Work one evening per month and a weekend rotation (Saturday/Sunday). Actually that is schedule; maybe we put schedule details in Schedule section, not About the role. So About the role could include Division, Section, Reporting Location. Also maybe mention that applications accepted from all persons interested (but that's minor metadata). We'll include a short paragraph. Responsibilities: list each duty as
  • . Let's list duties from "Essential Job Duties And Responsibilities Include" bullet list (though not bullet but sentences separated by periods).

We'll include that. Schedule: Workdays & Hours: Monday- Saturday, 8am - 8pm* (varies) Subject to change; Work one evening per month and a weekend rotation (Saturday/Sunday). We'll include as
  • maybe. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft. We'll start with maybe not required; just headings and content. We'll do:

    About the role

    Schedule

    • Workdays & Hours: Monday–Saturday, 8 am–8 pm (varies; subject to change).
    • Work one evening per month and a weekend rotation (Saturday/Sunday).
    Check for any repeated content: we included schedule twice? No. Now ensure we didn't include boilerplate like EEO, etc. We omitted. Check for any mention of "Applications accepted from: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED PN# 39566" - we omitted as minor metadata; could fold into About the role paragraph but we omitted. It's okay to drop minor metadata. Check for "Subject to change" we kept. Check for "Work one evening per month and a weekend rotation (Saturday/Sunday)" we included. Check for "Other duties as assigned that supports library operations." included. Check for "Must be able to move freely throughout the library to file/retrieve library materials." That's from Working Conditions; we omitted because it's not in any section? Actually it's substantive. Should we include it? It's under Working Conditions. It's not covered elsewhere. We need to preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include that somewhere. Could be under Requirements? Or maybe under About the role? It's about physical requirements. Could be under Requirements as a bullet. Or we could add a section "Working Conditions" but not in allowed headings. We could put under Requirements as a bullet: "Must be able to stoop and bend; lift library materials up to 20 pounds; move freely throughout the library to file/retrieve materials; effectively communicate orally and in writing." That's from Working Conditions. Let's incorporate. Thus under Requirements we add those bullets. Also "Position requires stooping and bending; lifting of library materials up to 20 pounds. Must be able to move freely throughout the library to file/retrieve library materials. Must be able to effectively communicate orally and in writing." We'll add. Now check if any other substantive info: "If yes, this position is subject to random drug testing and if a promotional position, candidate must pass an assignment drug test." That's under Safety Impact Position. We omitted; it's substantive. Should we include? Could be under Requirements or maybe a separate section but we don't have a heading for safety. Could add under Requirements as bullet: "Position is subject to random drug testing; if promotional, must pass assignment drug test." We'll add. Also "All new and rehires must pass a pre-employment drug test and are subject to a physical examination and verification of information provided." That's also substantive. Add under Requirements. Also "Only online applications will be accepted..." that's application instructions, we should remove per instruction: remove application instructions. So drop. Also "If you need special services or accommodations, 832-393-1472 (TTY 7-1-1)." That's application instructions; drop. Also "If you need login assistance or technical support call 855-524-5627." drop. Also "Due to the high volume of applications received, the Hiring Department
