We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (maybe from Position Overview), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invented details. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay: we have Salary Range $60,330-$78,530, so we can include Pay section. Schedule: we have Shift 1st Shift (United States of America). Also Travel Required: minimal, Environment Office: Office Temperature (65F to 75F). Travel: minimal, maybe include in Schedule? Not exactly schedule but we could include under Schedule? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include Schedule if we have shift info. Travel maybe part of Schedule? Could also be part of About the role? But we can include Schedule with shift and travel minimal. Benefits: not mentioned explicitly; we have no benefits details. So we should not include Benefits section. Qualifications: we have Bachelor's Degree - Business, Finance, Marketing. Also Years Of Experience 2-5: 2+ years relevant experience. So Qualifications section can include education and experience. Requirements: maybe we can separate? The posting includes Skills (Specialized Knowledge, Special Skills, Physical abilities). So Skills section. Responsibilities: we have many bullet-like sentences in Position Overview and Description. We'll extract responsibilities as list items. About the role: we can use Position Overview paragraph as prose. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, Working Safely, etc. Must not include navigation etc. We need to preserve all substantive information: include details like coordinating product, cost, merchandising tactics, etc. Must not lose any.
