We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings present in posting: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About Magellan Jets" (company description) then "Position Summary", "Essential Functions", "Competencies", "Knowledge & Education:", "Skills", "Abilities", "Management/ Supervisory Responsibilities", "Work Environment", "Position Type And Expected Hours Of Work", "Travel", "Additional Eligibility Qualifications", "Benefits", "Our Core Values", etc.
We must use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). However we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to map content to these headings.
We have:
- About Magellan Jets: company overview. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is not present; we have "About Magellan Jets". The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests those are examples; we can use those headings where appropriate. We need to map content.
Let's identify sections:
- About the role: Could be Position Summary + Essential Functions? Might be better to have "About the role" summarizing the position. But we have Position Summary and Essential Functions separate. Could combine? But we should not invent or summarize away detail. We need to preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to keep Position Summary and Essential Functions as separate sections maybe under headings like "Position Summary" and "Essential Functions". However the instruction says use those example headings; but we can still use other headings if they exist? It didn't say we cannot use other headings, just that we should use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). However we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to map content to these headings.

The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It seems they expect those typical headings, but we should only emit sections that have content. We could adapt: "About the role" could be replaced with "About Magellan Jets"? But they said do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. They didn't forbid using other headings like "About Magellan Jets". However they gave examples of headings to use; but we can still use other headings if appropriate? Likely they want us to use those standard headings, but we can also include others if needed? The instruction: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests those are examples; we can use those headings where appropriate. We need to map content.

It didn't say we cannot use other headings, just that we should use for section headings (e.g. those). So we can use any heading, but we should use . Probably safe to use headings that match the content: "Position Summary", "Essential Functions", "Competencies", "Knowledge & Education", "Skills", "Abilities", "Management/ Supervisory Responsibilities", "Work Environment", "Position Type and Expected Hours of Work", "Travel", "Benefits", "Our Core Values". Also maybe "About Magellan Jets". However they said "do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". The job title is Aviation Sourcing Consultant. Not present as heading. So fine.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we must strip out the EEO statement, the fraud warning, etc. Also "Additional Eligibility Qualifications N/A" - that's filler; we should not include a section if content is just "N/A". So we drop that.
Also "Affirmative Action Plan/Equal Employment Opportunity (aap/Eeo) Statement" - drop.
Also "Other Duties" - maybe keep? It's a statement about job description not exhaustive. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but still generic. Might be okay to keep? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "Other Duties" is not exactly those, but could be considered boilerplate. Safer to drop? It says "This job description is intended to convey information essential to understanding the scope... It is not an exhaustive list..." That's generic but still part of job description. Might be considered boilerplate but not explicitly listed. I'd keep it? However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." This is thin. I'd drop it.
Also "Our Core Values" - that's substantive, keep.
Also "Benefits" - we have details, keep.
Also "Pay" - they mention "competitive annual base salary + quarterly bonus opportunity". That's pay info. So we should include a Pay section.
Also "Schedule" - we have Position Type And Expected Hours Of Work details, which is schedule. So include Schedule.
Also "Qualifications" - we have Knowledge & Education (which is qualifications). Could map to Qualifications.
Also "Requirements" - maybe combine Knowledge & Education and Skills? But we have separate sections for Skills and Abilities. Could treat Skills as Skills, Abilities as Abilities. Requirements maybe not needed.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", etc. The pay description is not filler; it's specific enough.
We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from Essential Functions, Competencies, Knowledge & Education, Skills, Abilities, Management/ Supervisory Responsibilities, Work Environment, Position Type And Expected Hours Of Work, Travel, Benefits, Our Core Values, and maybe About Magellan Jets.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We'll use for each section heading. Inside, we can have

We need to decide which content goes to lists.
Essential Functions: many bullet-like sentences. We'll make a
- .
Competencies: includes Knowledge & Education, Skills, Abilities as sub-sections? Actually the posting has "Competencies Knowledge & Education: ... Skills ... Abilities". So we could treat Competencies as a heading with subheadings? But we only allowed
for section headings. Could nest
? Not allowed? Not mentioned. Safer to make separate sections: Knowledge & Education, Skills, Abilities. And maybe drop Competencies heading. Management/ Supervisory Responsibilities: short sentence. Work Environment: includes Location, Conditions, Physical Demands. Position Type And Expected Hours Of Work: schedule. Travel: minimal travel. Benefits: list. Our Core Values: list. About Magellan Jets: prose. Position Summary: prose. We also need to include Pay section: "competitive annual base salary + quarterly bonus opportunity". Also mention final compensation based on experience and location, eligibility for benefits. We'll create Pay section with that info.
