We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description. We need to use
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to parse content: The posting includes description: "Sitting between department-wide strategy and day-to-day operational leadership, we are seeking an Associate Director Residential Experience who will be part of the Homewood Student Affairs Division, dedicated to enhancing the operational effectiveness of the On-Campus Living department and ensuring high-quality services for students in university housing. Reporting to the Director of Residential Experience, this role supports the academic mission of Johns Hopkins University through the creation of a student-centered, inclusive residential environment. This position is part of the Residential Life & On-Campus Living leadership team and is responsible for oversight of departmental operations and administrative processes, recruitment and training of professional and student staff, assessment initiatives, incident response, and ongoing professional development initiatives. This role is expected to have an up-to-date understanding of all OCL processes and is a live-in position."

Then other metadata: Classified Title, Job Posting Title, Role/Level/Range, Starting Salary Range, Employee group, Schedule, FLSA Status, Location, Department name, Personnel area.
We need to map to sections: About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements? Possibly Minimum Qualifications. Qualifications maybe same? Skills (Special Knowledge, Skills, Or Abilities). Benefits? Not present. Pay: Starting Salary Range given. Schedule: given (Mon - Fri / 08:30am - 05:00pm). Also note live-in position, weekend/evening hours required, on-call rotating schedule. That could be part of Schedule or maybe separate but we only have Schedule section. We'll include schedule details.
We must not include sections with placeholder like "commensurate with experience" etc. Pay section: we have Starting Salary Range: $57,195 - $100,040 Annually ($78,620 targeted; Commensurate w/exp.). The phrase "Commencement w/exp." maybe considered placeholder? It says "Commensurate w/exp." That's somewhat placeholder but it's actual text. The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". So we should not include Pay section if the content is just "Commencement w/exp." but we also have actual range. The range is specific. So we can include Pay section with the range and maybe note targeted. The phrase "Commencement w/exp." is filler but it's part of the sentence. We could include the range and maybe omit the filler phrase. We'll include the range and targeted salary.
Schedule: we have "Mon - Fri / 08:30am - 05:00pm". Also note weekend/evening hours required, on-call rotating schedule. That's specific. So include Schedule section with that info.
Benefits: not mentioned. So omit.
