We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to parse the posting.
Key content:
- Role description: "As an Awake Overnight Counselor, you will provide direct support to people with Brain Injury or behavioral conditions in either a small group residential setting or an individual living arrangement. In your role you will work together with the people we serve, their families, friends, employers, and other support staff to transform their lives by either building independence skills or increasing each person's quality of life."
- Duties list: many bullet points.
- Additional responsibilities: Nightly Cleaning And Filing (maybe part of duties).
- About Vinfen: description of organization.
- Why Vinfen? training, benefits, career growth, job security.
- Qualifications: high school diploma or GED required; bachelor's degree preferred; experience; age 21+; driver's license; CPR/First Aid/MAP certifications; CORI etc.
- Knowledge and Skills: list.
- Typical Requirements: three months to one year experience.
- Driving Requirements.
- Physical Effort.
- Required Certifications.
- Pay Range: USD $19.22 - USD $19.22 /Hr. (so fixed $19.22/hour). So Pay section.
- Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. It says Awake Overnight Counselor, must remain awake, alert, and dressed throughout entire shift. No explicit schedule like hours. Could infer overnight shift but not given. Since we should not create Schedule unless posting actually states them. It does not state schedule specifics, so omit Schedule.
- Benefits: The posting mentions "We offer great training, great benefits, career growth and job security!" That's vague but mentions benefits. It's not specific like health insurance etc. The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "great benefits" but that's vague. Is that considered substantive? It's a statement that benefits are offered, but not specific. The rule says "never create ... Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state "great benefits". That's a statement, albeit vague. Might be considered stating benefits exist. However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could include Benefits with that statement. But it's not specific detail. Might be considered filler? The rule about filler includes phrases like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". "great benefits" is not exactly those, but it's still vague. I'd lean to include Benefits section with that statement as a for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive. It says "use
. - About Vinfen: could be About the role? Actually "About Vinfen" is separate. Could be About the role? The role description is earlier. Could have About the role section (the initial paragraph). Then Responsibilities (list of duties). Then Qualifications (education, experience, certifications). Then Skills (knowledge and skills). Then Benefits (great training, benefits, career growth, job security). Then Pay (hourly rate). Possibly also include "About Vinfen" as a separate section? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't list About Vinfen as a standard heading, but we could treat it as About the role? Actually About the role is for role description. About Vinfen is about the organization. Could we include a section "About Vinfen"? Not in the list but maybe we can treat as About the role? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive. It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should stick to those headings. So we should not create a heading like About Vinfen. Instead we could incorporate Vinfen description into About the role or maybe Benefits? But Better to put Vinfen description under About the role? Actually About the role is about the role, not the company. However we could treat the Vinfen description as part of About the role? Might be okay. Or we could omit it? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include Vinfen description somewhere. Could put it under a heading "About Vinfen" but that's not in the list; but the instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not an exhaustive list. So we could add About Vinfen as a heading. However the instruction says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests using those. Safer to stick to those headings. We could incorporate Vinfen description under "About the role" as a paragraph about the organization? Might be odd but acceptable.
Alternatively we could create a section "About Vinfen" as About Vinfen
. I think it's okay because it's a heading describing the organization. The examples are not exclusive. I'll include it.
