We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "Job Summary" and "Duties & Responsibilities", "Minimum Requirements & Qualifications", "Preferred Experience & Skills", "Job Conditions", "Substitutions", "Disclaimers And Definitions" etc. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. We must keep substantive info. We need to use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - Job Summary (could be "About the role" or "Job Summary"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can map: Job Summary -> About the role (or maybe "Job Summary" not listed but we can use "About the role"). - Duties & Responsibilities -> Responsibilities. - Minimum Requirements & Qualifications -> Requirements and Qualifications maybe combined? Could have separate sections: Requirements and Qualifications. But we can combine if content overlaps. The posting has "Minimum Requirements & Qualifications" with bullet-like list (though not bullet). We'll need to turn into

    • for list items. - Preferred Experience & Skills -> Skills. - Job Conditions -> maybe "Job Conditions" not in list; could be omitted or we could treat as "Requirements"? But we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. Job Conditions includes many items like ability to read/comprehend English, age, commute, etc. Those are requirements. Could be part of Requirements. But we could create a "Job Conditions" section if we want, but not in allowed headings list. The instruction says use those headings for section headings (e.g. 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)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive list. But safer to stick to those headings. However we can also include other headings if needed? The instruction: "use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings for sections; we can also use others if needed? It says "use

      for section headings (e.g. ...)" meaning those are typical. I think we can use those headings; we can also add other headings if needed but better to stick to those. Thus we need to map content to those headings. We have no Pay, Benefits, Schedule specifics. The posting mentions "Available to work all shifts and locations as assigned or directed." and "Respond to emergencies ... 24/7". That's schedule info but not explicit pay/benefits. We should not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. It does mention schedule expectations (shifts, 24/7). That could be considered schedule info. But the instruction says: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state schedule expectations (available to work all shifts, respond to emergencies 24/7). So we could include a Schedule section with that content. Benefits: not mentioned. Pay: not mentioned. So we omit Benefits and Pay. Thus sections: About the role (Job Summary), Responsibilities (Duties & Responsibilities), Requirements (Minimum Requirements & Qualifications), Qualifications (maybe we split? but we have both Requirements and Qualifications as separate headings; we could put some in Requirements, some in Qualifications. However the posting lumps them together. Could we put all under Requirements and leave Qualifications empty? Not allowed: we must not emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So if we include Qualifications heading, we must have substantive content. We could split: Requirements = education, experience, skills; Qualifications = certifications, substitutions, preferred experience? But the heading "Qualifications" could be used for preferred experience & skills? Actually "Preferred Experience & Skills" could map to Skills. So we have: - About the role: Job Summary. - Responsibilities: Duties & Responsibilities. - Requirements: Minimum Requirements & Qualifications (the core requirements). - Skills: Preferred Experience & Skills. - Schedule: shift availability, 24/7 emergency response. We also have Substitutions (master's degree substitutes etc.) That could be part of Requirements or Qualifications. Since we have Requirements and Skills sections, we could put Substitutions under Requirements. Job Conditions: many items like ability to read/comprehend English, age, commute, etc. Those are also requirements; could be included in Requirements as well. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, disclaimers, etc. So we need to strip those. Now we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all the details from those sections. We need to convert lists into
      • . The paragraphs can be

        . We need to be careful not to lose any detail. Let's extract content. Job Summary paragraph: "At the MBTA, we envision a thriving region enabled by a best-in-class transit system. Our mission is to serve the public by providing safe, reliable, and accessible transportation. MBTA’s core values are built around safety, service, equity, sustainability, culture, and accessibility, and each employee that works for the MBTA performs their roles based on our vision, mission, and values.
