We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications etc. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job description. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Job ID / requisition numbers as headings" (none). Remove EEO statements, etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to avoid sections like Pay, Schedule, Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting mentions hybrid work schedule: "professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average 3 days a week." That's schedule info. Also mentions "hybrid firm" and "most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices." Also "While the cadence of in-office presence is determined at the team level, our professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average 3 days a week." So schedule info exists. Should we create a Schedule section? The rule: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. The schedule content is specific: average 3 days a week in office. So we can include a Schedule section. Benefits: The posting mentions "We invest in a robust Total Rewards package that includes everything from generous PTO, a flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, and even paid time off for employees to volunteer." That's benefits. So we can include Benefits section. Pay: Not mentioned. So no Pay section. About the role: There's a description about the firm, the role, etc. Could be "About the role" or "About the team". The posting includes sections: "YOUR TEAM.", "WHY COHNREZNICK?", "YOUR ROLE." Also "Responsibilities" and "Your Experience." So we need to map to headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which headings to use based on content. - About the role: Could include overview of firm, team, mission, etc. We have "As CohnReznick grows..." etc. Also "YOUR TEAM." and "WHY COHNREZNICK?" Could be combined into About the role. - Responsibilities: list under "Responsibilities include but not limited to:" with bullet points. - Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The posting has "Your Experience." with bullet-like list: "3+ years of work experience in another public accounting firm", "Real Estate experience preferred", "Bachelor’s Degree required", "CPA licensure achieved or eligibility to sit for the exam", "Strong experience using Microsoft Office Suite", "Knowledge of audit software such as CaseWare or ProSystem FX", "Exceptional organizational and communication (verbal and written) skills". Also maybe "Your Experience." could be considered Requirements. Could also split into Qualifications and Skills. But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine into one Requirements section with list. - Benefits: as described. - Schedule: hybrid work expectation. We must not repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is "Assurance Senior Associate". Not to be used as heading. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must remove boilerplate: EEO statements, accommodation email, unsolicited recruiter note, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information: that includes the firm description, team description, mission, responsibilities, experience requirements, benefits, schedule. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft. Structure:

    About the role

    ...

    Maybe include multiple paragraphs. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Let's extract substantive paragraphs. From the start: "Job Description As CohnReznick grows, so do our career opportunities. As one of the nation’s top professional services firms, CohnReznick creates rewarding careers in advisory, assurance, and tax with team members who value innovation and collaboration in everything they do! CohnReznick helps organizations optimize performance, manage risk, and maximize value through CohnReznick LLP (assurance services) and CohnReznick Advisory LLC (advisory and tax services). Together, the firm provides leaders with deep industry knowledge and relationships, solutions to address clients’ unique business goals and risks, and insight on how emerging market forces can drive opportunity. With offices nationwide, the firm serves organizations around the world as an independent member of Nexia. We currently have an exciting career opportunity for an Assurance Senior Associate to join the team in our Atlanta office. CohnReznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices. This position is considered hybrid which means team members are expected to be thoughtful and intentional in how they create opportunities for in-person collaboration. While the cadence of in-office presence is determined at the team level, our professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average 3 days a week." That's a lot; we can split into About the role (firm overview) and Schedule (hybrid expectation). But the hybrid description is also part of About the role? Might be better to put schedule separate. Next: "YOUR TEAM. This position will support our Affordable Housing Group . CohnReznick is proud to be one of the country's largest real estate advisory firms, offering fully integrated opportunities and cross-functional learning to fast-track your career. Aligning yourself to this industry group allows you to work with clients driving community development, addressing inequities, and propelling the industry forward with market-leading technologies and processes designed to better serve the people who live, work, and trust within their spaces. You will work on a team with other Associates, Senior Associates, Managers, Senior Managers, and Partners. This team has a passion for what they do and a focus on consistently delivering value to our clients." That's about team. Next: "WHY COHNREZNICK? At CohnReznick, we’re united by a common mission to create opportunity, value, and trust for our clients, our people, and our communities. Whether it’s working alongside your peers to solve a client challenge, or volunteering together at the local food bank, there are so many ways to find your “why” at the firm. We believe it’s important to balance work with everyday life – and make time for enjoyment and fun. We invest in a robust Total Rewards package that includes everything from generous PTO, a flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, and even paid time off for employees to volunteer." That's benefits and mission. Next: "YOUR ROLE. Responsibilities Responsibilities include but not limited to: Serve as the engagement lead on specific client accounts Take responsibility for pre-engagement planning, execution, and final deliverables Develop detailed engagement work plans Illustrate budgets and schedules Actively participate in proposals Manage a team of staff associates, including interns, while providing regular performance coaching and feedback Gain the respect and confidence of the CRZ team through effective client management, timely and accurate communication, and clear and concise direction and leadership" Note there is duplicate "Responsibilities" word; we need to clean. Next: "Your Experience. The successful candidate will have: 3+ years of work experience in another public accounting firmReal Estate experience preferredBachelor’s Degree requiredCPA licensure achieved or eligibility to sit for the exam Strong experience using Microsoft Office Suite Knowledge of audit software such as CaseWare or ProSystem FXExceptional organizational and communication (verbal and written) skills" We need to add spaces between items; but we can keep as list items. Next: "In addition, please take a moment to review our Universal Job Standards Studies have shown that we are less likely to apply to jobs unless we meet every single qualification. At CohnReznick, we are dedicated to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we still encourage you to apply. You may be just the right candidate for this or one of our other roles." That's encouraging to apply; could be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's about applying. Might be considered application instruction? It's not exactly instruction to apply but encouragement. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove application instructions. This is more of a motivational note; but it's not essential substantive info about the job. Might be considered filler. Safer to remove? The rule: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not exactly application instructions but it's about encouraging to apply even if not meeting all qualifications. Could be considered part of EEO/diversity statement. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove. Next: The rest about brand name, alternative practice structure, etc. That's legal boilerplate; remove. EEO statement: remove. Accommodation email: remove. Unsolicited recruiter note: remove. Thus we keep: firm overview, team, mission/benefits, responsibilities, experience/requirements, benefits (already covered), schedule. We need to avoid duplication: Benefits already mentioned in WHY COHNREZNICK? section. We'll put Benefits section with that list. Schedule: hybrid expectation. Now craft HTML. We'll have sections:

We currently have an exciting career opportunity for an Assurance Senior Associate to join the team in our Atlanta office.

    Maybe also include team description? Could be part of About the role or separate section "Your team". But we only have predefined headings; we could use About the role to cover firm and team. Or we could add a section "Your team" but not in list; we must use only those headings? The instruction: use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples, not strict list. But we should prefer those headings. It says "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use those headings; we could also use other headings if needed? It says e.g., meaning those are examples; we could use other headings but better to stick to those. We'll try to map content to those. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications/Skills), Benefits, Schedule. We could combine Requirements and Qualifications and Skills into one Requirements section. Thus:

    About the role

    ...

    Responsibilities

    • Serve as the engagement lead on specific client accounts
    • Take responsibility for pre-engagement planning, execution, and final deliverables
    • Develop
