Avera is an Equal Opportunity Employer ... (EEO boilerplate) - we need to remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate, also accommodation request line.
We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
Thus we should drop the EEO paragraph and the accommodation request line.
Now we need to decide sections.
We have:
- About the role: Could be the "Position Highlights", "Why is Behavioral Health important?", "You will enjoy this Behavioral Health setting if you are someone that:", "You Belong at Avera", "A Brief Overview". This is descriptive prose about role. Could be under "About the role". We'll include that.
- Responsibilities: The "What you will do" list.
- Requirements: Could be "Essential Qualifications" plus maybe "Required Education, License/Certification, or Work Experience". Also "Preferred Education...". Could be under "Requirements" or "Qualifications". We need to decide which sections to include: we have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to avoid thin sections. We can combine some.
We have Pay: we have pay range $19.75 - $30.00 and mention sign-on bonus $3,000. So we can include Pay section.
Schedule: we have Work Shift: Primarily days with rotating weekends and holidays. So we can include Schedule.
Benefits: we have benefits description: PTO day 1, up to 5% employer matching, career development guided by hands-on training and mentorship. Also mention wide range of benefits. So we can include Benefits.
Skills: maybe we can extract from responsibilities or qualifications? Could list skills like communication, patient care, vital signs, documentation, behavioral management, medication monitoring, teamwork. But we need to avoid filler. If we don't have explicit skills list, maybe we skip Skills section.
Requirements vs Qualifications: The posting has "Essential Qualifications" and then "Required Education, License/Certification, or Work Experience:" and "Preferred Education...". Could treat "Requirements" as the required education/experience, and "Qualifications" as essential qualifications (skills, abilities). Or combine. But we need to avoid duplication.
We could make:
- About the role (prose)
- Responsibilities (list)
- Requirements (list: required education/experience)
- Qualifications (list: essential qualifications, abilities)
- Benefits (list)
- Pay (prose)
- Schedule (prose)
We should not include Skills if not explicit.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
Now format: Use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content.
About the role: combine the paragraphs under Position Highlights, Why is Behavioral Health important?, You will enjoy..., You Belong at Avera, A Brief Overview.
We need to keep them as prose, maybe multiple
elements.
Let's gather:
