We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. The posting includes job summary, job description, education/experience, job knowledge, complexity of duties, supervision received, responsibility for accuracy, contact with others, confidential data. We need to map to headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections correspond. We have no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule info. So we should not include those sections. We need to include sections for About the role (maybe job summary), Responsibilities (job description), Requirements (education/experience, license), Qualifications (maybe job knowledge?), Skills (maybe knowledge and ability). But we must not create sections with filler. Must have real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. So we need to extract content and place under appropriate headings. Let's parse: Job Summary: description of role. Job Description: long list of duties. Education/experience: Associate's degree required, Bachelor's preferred, two years experience preferred, valid RN license NC, BLS required, valid NC driver's license. Job knowledge: list of knowledge areas. Complexity of duties: describes complexity. Supervision received: supervision. Responsibility for accuracy: responsibility. Contact with others: contacts. Confidential data: confidentiality. We could map: About the role: Job Summary. Responsibilities: Job Description (duties). Requirements: Education/experience (degree, license, BLS, driver's license). Qualifications: Job knowledge (knowledge areas) maybe also Complexity of duties? But Qualifications could be knowledge/skills. Skills: maybe Complexity of duties, Supervision received, Responsibility for accuracy, Contact with others, Confidential data? But those are more about responsibilities. We need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine some. Better: Use sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. That's four substantive sections. We need to put content under each. About the role: copy Job Summary paragraph(s). Might be multiple sentences; we can put in

. Responsibilities: list of duties from Job Description. Use

  • for each duty. Need to preserve all substantive info; we can break into bullet points for each distinct duty. Must not lose info. Could be many bullets; okay. Requirements: education/experience bullet list. Qualifications: job knowledge bullet list (knowledge areas). Could also include complexity, supervision, responsibility, contact, confidential data as part of qualifications? But maybe better to include them under Qualifications as they are qualifications/attributes. However we need to avoid thin sections; we could combine all those into Qualifications as a list. But we must not create sections with filler. All content must be preserved. Thus: not needed; just headings

    and content. Structure:
