We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include only sections that have real specific content. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Keep substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Company Description: we could include as "About the role"? Actually "Company Description" is about the company, not role. The instruction: use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can map content accordingly.
We have:
- Position Summary: description of Associate Chemist duties. Could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities". The "Essential Duties And Responsibilities" list is responsibilities.
- Additional duties: "Follow and learn appropriate protocols in one or more of the following disciplines. This role will focus on PFAS Analysis and LC/MS." That's also responsibilities.
- Position schedule: "This position is 2nd shift, Tues-Sat, 3pm -1130pm. Training will be M-F 7am-3:30pm." That's schedule.
- Qualifications: "Basic Minimum Qualifications BS or BA in Chemistry or related field, Associate Degree, or 2 years of related laboratory experience in lieu of degree. Professional working proficiency in English is a requirement, including the ability to read, write and speak in English.Authorization to work in the United States without restriction or sponsorship"
- Ideal Candidates Will Have: list of skills/experience: previous experience with PFAS and/or LC/MS, previous experience in a lab or production setting, strong verbal/written communication, ability to interpret written materials, identify issues, analyze root causes, propose solutions, critical thinking, collaboration, organizational skills, manage priorities, meet deadlines, balance multiple tasks, comfortable using mathematical formulas, deliver high-quality work, work independently, strong interpersonal skills.

The benefits package offered will vary based on the employee’s full-time or part-time regular status."
- Additional info about development, diversity, sustainability, etc. Those are boilerplate/EEO etc. Should be removed.
- Also company description at top: could be "About the role"? Actually "Company Description" is about the company, not role. Might be considered "About the role"? The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can include "About the role" with company description and position summary? Or we could treat "About the role" as a brief description of the role (position summary). The company description may be considered extra but could be included under "About the role". However we must not invent filler. The company description is substantive info about the company; it's okay to include.
We need to avoid duplication: there are many repeated lines like "Eurofins Scientific is an international life sciences company..." etc. We'll keep it once.
We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we will strip out the long paragraphs about diversity, sustainability, EEO, career page link, etc. Also remove the "All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines." etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information: company description, position summary, essential duties, schedule, qualifications, ideal candidates, pay, benefits.

We need to preserve all substantive information: company description, position summary, essential duties, schedule, qualifications, ideal candidates, pay, benefits.
We need to format using for each section heading, - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is "Associate Chemist". Not to be used as heading.
We need to decide sections:
- About the role: could include company description and position summary.
- Responsibilities: essential duties and responsibilities list.
- Requirements: basic minimum qualifications? Or maybe "Qualifications" heading. The instruction includes "Qualifications" as a possible heading. We'll use "Qualifications" for basic minimum qualifications.
- Skills: ideal candidates list (skills/experience). Could be under "Skills" heading.
- Benefits: benefits description.
- Pay: pay rate.
- Schedule: shift info.
We should not include "Requirements" if we already have Qualifications; but we could combine. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which to include based on content. We have qualifications (basic minimum) and ideal candidates (skills). Could treat "Requirements" as basic minimum qualifications, and "Skills" as ideal candidates. Or we could have "Qualifications" for basic and "Skills" for ideal. We'll follow that.
Thus sections:
About the role
-> company description + position summary (maybe two paragraphs). We'll combine.
Responsibilities
-> list of duties.
Requirements
-> maybe basic minimum qualifications? Actually "Requirements" could be basic minimum qualifications. We'll put that.
Skills
-> ideal candidates list.
Benefits
-> benefits description.
Pay
-> pay rate.
Schedule
-> shift schedule.
We must not include empty sections.
Now extract content.
