We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have "About The Department" and "About The Position". The instructions: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content accordingly. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: Department, Classification, Job Category, Job Type, Work Schedule, Location, Workplace Type, Required Sponsorship Eligibility, Pay Band, Salary (but we need to include Pay if present; they gave Starting salary $70,000; commensurate with education and experience. However we should not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. They do state salary: Starting salary $70,000; commensurate with education and experience. The phrase "commensurate with education and experience" is filler? It's a qualifier but still part of salary description. The rule says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". That seems to indicate we should not create a Pay section if the only content is that phrase? But they also have a concrete number $70,000. So we could include Pay section with that number. However the phrase "commensurate with education and experience" might be considered filler. But we can still include the salary figure. Probably we should include Pay section with the starting salary. Schedule: they gave Work Schedule: Full-time (1.0 FTE, 40 hrs/wk). That's schedule info. Should we include Schedule section? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. They do state schedule. So we can include Schedule. Benefits: not mentioned. So no Benefits. We need sections: About the role? We have About The Department and About The Position. Could combine into About the role? But we should follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which sections have content. We have content for About the role (maybe combine department and position). Responsibilities: we have a big list. Requirements: maybe Required Qualifications. Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications? But they said Requirements and Qualifications separate. Could treat Required Qualifications as Requirements, Preferred Qualifications as Qualifications. Skills: maybe we can extract skills from responsibilities? But we could also omit Skills if not explicit. Better to follow: we have Required Qualifications (list) and Preferred Qualifications (list). Could map Required Qualifications to Requirements section, Preferred Qualifications to Qualifications section. Skills maybe not needed. We also have Pay and Schedule. We must not include filler like "commensurate with education and experience" in Pay section. We'll just put the starting salary $70,000. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from responsibilities, required qualifications, preferred qualifications, etc. We must remove boilerplate like Department, Classification, etc. Also remove "Important Eligibility Requirement" about driver's license? That's substantive; we need to keep that info. It appears under Required Qualifications? Actually there is a block: "Important Eligibility Requirement Employees in this position are required to operate university vehicles..." That's substantive; we should keep it, maybe under Requirements or a separate section? Could be part of Requirements. We also have "Criminal Background Check: Yes Motor Vehicle Records Check: Yes" - that's metadata; maybe we can drop as minor metadata? It's not a heading; we can fold into a short p or drop. Probably drop as it's minor metadata. We also have "Required Sponsorship Eligibility: Not eligible for visa sponsorship" - drop. We also have "Pay Band: 04" - drop. We also have "Job Category: Classified Staff" etc - drop. We need to preserve all substantive information: that includes the driver's license requirement, the background check statements? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The background check lines might be considered legal/boilerplate? Not sure. They are eligibility requirements. Might be considered substantive. But they are similar to "Criminal Background Check: Yes Motor Vehicle Records Check: Yes". Could be kept as a short p under Requirements. We also have "Applicants must possess and maintain an active, valid driver’s license..." that's definitely substantive. We also have "Final candidates are subject to a Motor Vehicle Report (MVR) review..." etc. We'll include that under Requirements maybe. Now construct HTML. We'll start with

About the role

then

combining department and position description. Department description: "To educate students to become lawyers, the George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School has designated a curriculum that addresses three of the most pressing requirements of contemporary legal practice: facility with economic and quantitative methods, the increasing need for specialization, and a thorough grounding in fundamental skills of legal research, writing, and analysis.
