We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes sections: "Why You Should Join the E3 Team", "Who We Are", "About You", "The Work", "Work Environment", "Typical Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Things that Set You Apart", "E3’s Commitment to You", "Hiring Process and Timeline", "Compensation And Title". We must use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we can also use other headings? The instruction: "use
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we can also use other headings? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests we should use those headings if applicable. But we can also have other headings? Probably we should map content to those standard headings where appropriate. However we must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". For Pay and Schedule we need actual content: The posting includes compensation range: Annual Total Compensation Range: Minimum: $100,000 Maximum: $115,000. Also mentions bonus structure 15-25% added. So we have Pay info. Schedule: "General Hours: Full Time". Also "Hybrid and flexible work environment". So we have schedule info. Benefits: list of benefits given. So we can include Benefits section.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, AI disclaimer, hiring process timeline? The instruction says remove duplicated lines, application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should remove EEO statement, AI disclaimer, hiring process timeline? The hiring process timeline might be considered part of recruitment but not boilerplate? It's not explicitly listed as boilerplate but could be considered part of process. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Hiring process timeline is not exactly application instructions? It says "Qualified candidates can expect a first-round virtual interview, to engage in a live case study and a final panel onsite interview in either our Boston or San Francisco office in mid November." That's application instructions? Possibly considered part of hiring process, maybe we should remove as it's application instructions. Safer to remove that section.
Also remove "Willdan does not discriminate..." etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we keep: Why join, Who we are, About you, The work, Work environment, Typical responsibilities, Requirements, Things that set you apart, E3’s commitment to you, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to format with
headings. For each section we need appropriate heading. The list of suggested headings includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we have other sections like "Why You Should Join the E3 Team", "Who We Are", "About You", "The Work", "Work Environment", "Typical Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Things that Set You Apart", "E3’s Commitment to You". Should we map them to those headings? Possibly we can still use for those headings even if not in the list; the instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests using those for those categories. Safer to use those standard headings where applicable and maybe rename sections accordingly. However we must preserve all substantive information; we can keep the original wording inside
or
. The heading can be e.g., About the role
and then include the content from "Why You Should Join the E3 Team", "Who We Are", "About You", "The Work". But that might mix. Better to keep separate headings for each logical section, using . The instruction didn't forbid other headings; it just gave examples. So we can use for each section heading we need.
Thus produce:

We must ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". In Benefits we have list includes "Base and bonus commensurate with experience and performance". That's filler? It's a phrase but it's actual content; but instruction says 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. For Benefits section, we have actual list; the phrase "Base and bonus commensurate with experience and performance" is part of the list, not a placeholder. It's okay.
We need to preserve all substantive information: include details about offices, mission, etc.
Let's extract content.
