We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID as heading. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Public Service Loan Forgiveness" maybe it's a benefit? It's a statement about eligibility; could be considered benefit? It's not a benefit per se but maybe we can put under Benefits? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to decide which sections have content.
Let's parse the posting:
- Intro about DSS, HRA, DHS, Office of Legal Affairs. That's about the role/department. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the department". We'll use "About the role".
- Then description of the position: "The Office Of The General Counsel / Office Of Legal Affairs Is Recruiting For One (1) Agency Attorney Interne In The Child Support Enforcement Term (CSET) Of The Support And Lien Recovery Litigation Unit (SLRLU) To Function As Attorney Interne, Who Will Represent the interests of the Commissioner of the Department of Social Services in NYS Family Court litigation to establish paternity and orders of support for children in receipt of public assistance. Appear in hearings and trials. Seek penalties on violation of support petitions. Works on medical orders of support, modification of orders and violations of orders for dependent children in receipt of Medicaid. Provide legal counsel and review with regard to negotiated settlements on outstanding arrears owed to the Commissioner and stipulate to orders of support outside of court based on Office of Child Support Services initiatives and pilot programs. Perform legal research on basic family law subject matter and drafting standard motions and rebuttals. Draft legal documents and provide legal assistance to OCSS by researching applicable statutes, case law or other material to resolve legal questions/problems, interpret the intent and legal ramifications of laws, rules/regulations related to the delivery of social services. Maintain case files and update notes into Office of Legal Affairs case management system records on case status. Determine the advisability of presenting witnesses, admissibility of types of evidence and matters of legal strategy. Must travel within New York City and may be re-assigned to other boroughs within New York City, as needed. The attorney in this position will be assigned to both the New York County and Richmond County Teams, with a work location in New York County. Hours/Shift: Monday through Friday 9am – 5 pm with flex"
That's responsibilities.
- Minimum Qualifications: "Graduation from an accredited United States law school as defined in the Rules of the New York Court of Appeals (Sections 520.3 or 520.5) or admission to the New York State Bar."
- Preferred Skills: "Prior litigation experience - Strong oral and written advocacy skills - Prior experience with Child Support or Family Law - Admission to the NY State Bar or NY bar passage"
- Public Service Loan Forgiveness: maybe a benefit? It's a statement about eligibility for federal loan forgiveness programs and state repayment assistance programs. Could be considered a benefit. We'll include under Benefits.
- Residency Requirement: "New York City Residency is not required for this position" - could be under Requirements? It's a requirement about residency. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. Probably under Requirements.
- Additional Information: EEO statement - we must remove boilerplate EEO/equal-opportunity. So remove that.
- Salary: ", $72,510.00 – $83,388.00" at end. That's Pay.
Thus sections:

We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We'll drop that.
We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the intro paragraphs about DSS etc. Also include the location assignment etc.

We need to format using for each section heading, then content: use
for prose,

We need to decide what is a list. The responsibilities are a series of sentences separated by periods. Could be formatted as
- each duty. Similarly for qualifications maybe just a paragraph. Preferred Skills is a list separated by hyphens; we can make
- . Benefits: maybe a paragraph about loan forgiveness. Pay: maybe a paragraph with salary. Schedule: paragraph.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details.
Let's extract exact sentences.
Intro: "The Department of Social Services (DSS) is comprised of the administrative units of the New York City Human Resources Administration (HRA) and the Department of Homeless Services (DHS). HRA is dedicated to fighting poverty and income inequality by providing New Yorkers in need with essential benefits such as Food Assistance and Emergency Rental Assistance. DHS is committed to preventing and addressing homelessness in New York City by employing a variety of innovative strategies to help families and individuals successfully exit shelter and return to self-sufficiency as quickly as possible. The Department of Social Services' Office of Legal Affairs provides legal guidance, litigation support, and direct representation in state and federal courts and administrative agencies to the Department of Social Services and all DSS program areas to ensure the delivery of social services consistent with federal, state and local laws and regulations."
That's about the role.
Responsibilities: Starting after "To Function As Attorney Interne, Who Will". Let's capture all duties:

Appear in hearings and trials.

Hours/Shift: Monday through Friday 9am – 5 pm with flex"
Note: The last sentence about Hours/Shift is schedule; we will move to Schedule section.
Thus responsibilities list excludes the Hours/Shift line.
We need to keep "Must travel within New York City and may be re-assigned to other boroughs within New York City, as needed." as a duty.

Pay: ", $72,510.00 – $83,388.00" The leading comma maybe from previous text. We'll output as "$72,510.00 – $83,388.00".
Schedule: "Monday through Friday 9am – 5 pm with flex"
We also have Residency Requirement: "New York City Residency is not required for this position". This is a requirement; could be under Requirements section. We'll treat as Requirement.
