Associate Forester
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to parse the posting.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc). There's none.
We need to preserve all substantive info.
We need sections: About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (list). Requirements? The posting includes Education/Experience/Certifications. Could be Requirements or Qualifications. Also Competencies (Knowledge, Skills, Abilities) could be Skills. Physical and Cognitive Demands maybe part of Requirements? But we can put under Requirements or Qualifications.
Schedule/Attendance: we have schedule details. So we can create Schedule section.
Pay: The posting says "Actual total compensation, including a performance based incentive bonus, is commensurate with experience, skills, qualifications, education, training, and internal equity." That's vague; we should not create Pay section if it's just "commensurate with experience" etc. The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). So we should NOT create Pay section because it's just that phrase. So omit Pay.
Benefits: The posting mentions "We provide a total rewards package that is designed to reward your contributions to the company, and, at the same time, support your well-being and professional development, both now and into the future. To find out more, click here." That's vague; no specific benefits listed. So we should not create Benefits section because it's filler. So omit Benefits.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills, Schedule.
We need to decide which headings to use: About the role (intro). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (education/experience/certifications). Skills (competencies). Schedule (schedule/attendance). Possibly also Physical and Cognitive Demands could be part of Requirements or separate but we can include under Requirements.
We must use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract.
