We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting. The posting includes: - Title: Mergers & Acquisitions Corporate & Investment Banking Graduate Programme 2027 (but we must not repeat as heading). - Description: Standard Chartered M&A Advisory Group ... (some paragraphs). This is about the role. - About the Graduate Programme – how you’ll learn and grow (section heading). Contains bullet points? Actually paragraphs with bullet-like list: Real impact, Future-ready capabilities, Global collaboration, Continuous growth. Also "Bring the skills - we’ll help you build your career" then bullet list of attributes. - We welcome students from all degree disciplines... (some text) - We’re Looking For People Who Can ... (list of bullet points). This could be Requirements/Skills. - For technical roles, we particularly value backgrounds in Finance & Banking, Economics, Accounting, Mathematics and Statistics. - Eligibility: final year, graduating by July 2027, permanent legal right to work, one application within six months. - Key Dates: Assessment Centres: October 2026 onwards; Start Date: July 2027. - About Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB) (section).

Contains benefits: competitive salary, benefits, core bank funding for retirement savings, medical and life insurance, flexible and voluntary benefits, time-off including annual leave, parental/maternity (20 weeks), sabbatical (12 months maximum) and volunteering leave (3 days), along with minimum global standards for annual and public holiday, which is combined to 30 days minimum, flexible working options, proactive wellbeing support through Unmind, development courses, global Employee Assistance Programme, sick leave, mental health first-aiders, self-help toolkits, continuous learning culture, inclusive and values driven organisation. - Recruitment Assessment (section). Paragraph about assessments. We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. - About the role: we have description of role (M&A Advisory Group, graduate programme). Could be "About the role". Use

About the role

then paragraphs. - Responsibilities: maybe the bullet list "Real impact: Take ownership of meaningful work..." etc could be responsibilities. Also "From researching industries and analysing companies to supporting client presentations and deal execution". So we can include Responsibilities. - Requirements: eligibility criteria (final year, graduating by July 2027, permanent legal right to work). Also maybe "We’re Looking For People Who Can ..." could be requirements/skills. But we have Skills section separate. - Qualifications: maybe degree discipline? They welcome all degree disciplines, but for technical roles value certain backgrounds. Could be Qualifications. - Skills: list of attributes: Take ownership, think critically, learn quickly, build relationships, communicate confidently, demonstrate commercial curiosity, thrive in dynamic environment. Also technical backgrounds. - Benefits: What we offer section includes benefits. - Pay: Not explicitly mentioned; they say "competitive salary" but not specific numbers. The rule: do NOT create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "competitive salary" but no specifics. Is that enough? 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. "competitive salary" is vague but still states that there is a competitive salary. Might be considered stating pay? It's not a specific number but it's stating that there is a competitive salary. The instruction says "unless the posting actually states them". It does state "competitive salary". So we could include Pay section with that statement. However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be better to combine Pay into Benefits? But Benefits section already includes benefits; Pay is separate heading. Could we omit Pay because it's not specific? The rule says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state competitive salary, which is a statement about pay. So we could include Pay with that line. - Schedule: They have Key Dates: Assessment Centres: October 2026 onwards; Start Date: July 2027. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with those details. We must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll structure:
