We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use for each heading only if content exists. Do not repeat job title. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the job description.
Key sections:
- About Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) – could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is generic; but we have an "About Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS)" paragraph. That could go under "About the role" or maybe "About the organization". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content accordingly.
We have:
- Position Objective: Maintain safe and secure environment... (could be part of About the role or Responsibilities). Probably "About the role" includes position objective.
- Principal Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Qualification Requirements: includes Job Qualifications (High School Diploma or Equivalent, Must obtain and maintain NY State Security Guard Registration, Valid driver license preferred, Ability and willingness to work weekends..., Voluntary option to obtain and maintain FDNY Certificate). Also Physical Requirements.
- Knowledge of Microsoft Outlook, Word, and basic computer skills.
- Perform other duties as assigned.
- Salary Range: 43,997.00 (presumably annual). That's Pay.
- No explicit Benefits or Schedule mentioned besides ability to work weekends etc. That's schedule info? Could be under Schedule? The instruction: include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It mentions "Ability and willingness to work weekends, holidays, evenings, nights, overtime and special events as the schedule demands to provide 24-hour coverage." That's schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section.
- Benefits: not mentioned. So omit Benefits.
- Skills: maybe "Knowledge of Microsoft Outlook, Word, and basic computer skills." Could be Skills section.
- Requirements: maybe combine Qualification Requirements and Physical Requirements? The instruction: Use headings Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what goes where. Typically Requirements could be mandatory qualifications (education, license, etc). Qualifications could be preferred or additional. But we can follow: Requirements: mandatory items (High School Diploma or Equivalent, Must obtain and maintain NY State Security Guard Registration, Valid driver license preferred? Actually preferred is not mandatory. Ability to work weekends etc is schedule requirement. Physical Requirements maybe under Requirements as well. Qualifications: maybe "Voluntary option to obtain and maintain FDNY Certificate", "Knowledge of Microsoft Outlook, Word, and basic computer skills." Could be Skills.
Better to follow typical pattern: Requirements = mandatory qualifications (education, license, ability to work schedule, physical). Qualifications = preferred or additional qualifications (FDNY certificate, computer skills). Skills = specific skills (computer skills). But we have overlapping.
Let's decide:
- About the role: Position Objective + maybe brief about WCS? Actually About the role could include position objective and brief description of WCS? The instruction says use heading About the role for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). So we can put the position objective and maybe the WCS description under About the role? But the WCS description is about organization, not role. However we could still put it there as it's substantive. But maybe better to put WCS description under About the role? The instruction says "About the role" heading; we can include both the position objective and the organization overview as part of about the role. That seems okay.
- Responsibilities: list of principal responsibilities (bulleted).
- Requirements: mandatory: High School Diploma or Equivalent, Must obtain and maintain New York State Security Guard Registration, Valid driver license preferred? Actually "preferred" not mandatory; but we could still include as requirement? Might be considered requirement but flagged as preferred. We'll include as requirement but note "preferred". Also Ability and willingness to work weekends, holidays, evenings, nights, overtime and special events as the schedule demands to provide 24-hour coverage. Physical Requirements: outdoor work in all weather, walking, running, standing, climbing stairs, manual dexterity, ability to safely use tools, climbing, kneeling, bending, navigating uneven terrain, moderate lifting up to 50 pounds, stand/walk long periods, stoop, kneel, crouch, climb, balance, work in outdoor weather environment all seasons.
- Qualifications: Voluntary option to obtain and maintain FDNY Certificate.
- Skills: Knowledge of Microsoft Outlook, Word, and basic computer skills.
- Pay: Salary Range 43,997.00
- Schedule: Ability and willingness to work weekends, holidays, evenings, nights, overtime and special events as the schedule demands to provide 24-hour coverage. (But we already used that in Requirements; maybe we should not duplicate. Could move schedule info to Schedule section and remove from Requirements. Let's do that: Requirements: education, license, physical. Schedule: work schedule details. Qualifications: FDNY certificate. Skills: computer skills.
Check duplication: Ensure we preserve all info; we can mention schedule in Schedule section only, not also in Requirements. But we need to keep the info about ability to work weekends etc. So we'll put it under Schedule.
Now, Requirements: High School Diploma or Equivalent, Must obtain and maintain New York State Security Guard Registration, Valid driver license preferred (maybe we keep as "Valid driver license preferred").
Physical Requirements: list.
Now, ensure we don't include boilerplate: EEO disclaimer, equal opportunity, etc. Remove.
Also remove "Job Classification: UNION", "Reports To", "Direct Reports", etc. Those are minor metadata; we can fold into a short p or drop. Probably drop.
Now produce HTML:
