We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if there is real specific content. The posting includes many paragraphs describing responsibilities etc. We need to identify sections: About the role? Not present. Responsibilities? The text includes many bullet-like statements: "Ministry Functions Spiritual Development — ...", "Leadership Development — ...", "Resource Development — ...", "Direct Ministry — ...", "Ministry Support – ...", "Training Core Training — ...", "Education College degree preferred." Also "Qualifications Required For The Job Experience in direct ministry..." etc. Also "Work Conditions Includes the extremes of a camp..." etc. Also "Job Specific Working Conditions Ministry to teens of military members". Also "Young Life requires all employees to sign a Statement of Faith..." etc. Also internal staff note etc. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The internal staff note is not boilerplate? It's a note about applying internally; maybe considered application instruction? It says "If you are currently on Young Life staff, please do not apply through this external jobs board..." That's an application instruction, should be removed. Also "Young Life requires all employees to sign a Statement of Faith..." is relevant content (requirements). Keep that.
We need to use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We have content that could map to Responsibilities (the ministry functions etc). Requirements (Statement of Faith, experience in direct ministry, proven relational skills, communication skills, ability to maintain confidentiality). Qualifications (College degree preferred). Skills maybe covered under requirements? Could combine. Benefits, Pay, Schedule not present (no specifics). So we should not include those sections.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Use

We need to preserve all substantive information. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to convert the bullet-like statements into list items.
We need to decide grouping: Perhaps one Responsibilities section with subheadings? But we only allowed h3 for section headings, not subheadings. Could we have multiple h3 sections like Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. Within each, we can have
- for list items.
We need to extract list items from the text.

Also Statement of Faith requirement: Young Life requires all employees to sign a Statement of Faith. We recommend you read this statement before applying for any position. Because of Young Life’s exclusive Christian purposes... (long paragraph). That is basically a requirement about faith.
We need to include that in Requirements or Qualifications? It's a requirement. Could be under Requirements.
We need to avoid duplication: The Statement of Faith paragraph is long; we should keep it as prose (
) maybe.
We also have "Work Conditions" and "Job Specific Working Conditions". Those could be under Requirements or maybe a separate section like "Working Conditions". But we only allowed headings from the list; we could put them under Requirements or Responsibilities? Probably Requirements includes work conditions. But we have a separate "Work Conditions" heading not in allowed list; we could incorporate into Requirements as list items.
We need to decide sections: Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (faith statement, experience, relational skills, communication, confidentiality, work conditions, job specific conditions), Qualifications (College degree preferred). Possibly Skills could be merged.
We should not create sections with filler. So we will have:
Responsibilities
- ... each duty as separate li
Requirements
- ... each requirement
Statement of Faith paragraph (maybe as prose)
Qualifications
- College degree preferred.
We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract each distinct duty from the paragraphs.
