We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings using for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include sections only when posting has real specific content. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. We need to preserve all substantive info.
Let's parse the posting.
Key sections:
- Position Overview (maybe "About the role"): includes description of role, location, team, etc.
- Flexibility Options & Work-Life Harmony (maybe "Schedule"): includes no Saturdays, three- or four-day workweeks, rotating schedule, lifestyle scheduling, compensation for other schedule options commensurate with hours worked, full benefit packages for 30+ hours, select benefit packages for part-time.
- What We Offer (maybe "Benefits"): includes benefits list: Full-time compensation structure $180K-$200K, signing/retention/relocation up to $120K, Experience Life Bonus, production bonus, flexible FTE and scheduling options, medical/dental/vision insurance, paid parental leave, 401(k) with discretionary contribution, team member pet discounts, emotional wellbeing support, CE stipends, Grant Circle relief fund, local care center culture backed by national resources.
- Key Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Qualifications (Required): list.
- Preferred Skills (Nice to Have): list.
- Pay Range (based on a full-time, 40-hour workweek) $180,000-$200,000 (duplicate of earlier). Also "Pay Range $180,000—$200,000 USD" later.
- About PetVet Care Centers: mission statement etc. Could be "About the company" but not required headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could map:
- About the role: Position Overview + maybe mission? But we can keep "About the role" for position overview.
- Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities.
- Requirements: maybe Qualifications (Required) as Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe Preferred Skills? But they said Qualifications and Skills separate. Could treat Qualifications as required qualifications, Skills as preferred skills.
- Benefits: What We Offer benefits list.
- Pay: Pay Range.
- Schedule: Flexibility Options & Work-Life Harmony.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. In Schedule section we have "Compensation for other schedule options will be commensurate with hours worked." That's a phrase we should keep? It's substantive but includes "commensurate". The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". That refers to headings with filler text only. If we have a heading and we include some substantive content plus that phrase, it's okay? The phrase itself is not filler; it's a statement about compensation. It's okay to keep.
We must not include duplicated lines. Remove boilerplate like EEO, privacy, etc. Also remove "Ready to take the next step? Apply today." and contact info. Also remove "Key Responsibilities" heading? We'll convert to
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include sections only when posting has real specific content. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. We need to preserve all substantive info.
