Responsibilities: list bullet points. Requirements: eligibility bullet points. Qualifications: bullet points. Skills: bullet points (must-have and nice-to-have maybe separate?

It's extra detail about pay range; we can include it in Pay section as a note. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Already removed. Now produce HTML. We'll wrap each section with

  heading and then either

  or

  • . For sections with list items, use
    • . Let's craft. Note: Avoid duplicate content. Ensure we don't repeat same info across sections unnecessarily, but it's okay if some overlap. We'll produce:
