We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like 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. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro about Varsity Spirit (company description). Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe not present. There's "How You Will Make An Impact" and "What You Will Do". Those could be "Responsibilities". Also "Qualifications" section includes Knowledge/Skills/Abilities and Education/Experience. Also "Physical Requirements". Also "OUR COMMITMENT TO SAFETY" maybe not needed? It's boilerplate? It's about safety commitment; maybe not required but it's substantive? It's about company policy; maybe we can include as "About the role"? But guidelines: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Safety commitment might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's a policy. Might be okay to keep? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Safety commitment is not exactly those categories, but could be considered legal? It's about safety policy. Might be okay to keep but we need to decide.
We also have "WORK TYPE: Hybrid - Monday through Thursday, Friday WFH", "LOCATION DETAILS: Memphis, Tennessee Headquarters - 711 N Front Street", "WORK HOURS: 8 am - 5 pm CST". These could go into Schedule and maybe Pay? No pay info. So Schedule section can include work type, location, hours.
Benefits section: "Our Benefits" list.
Pay: not present, so omit.
We need sections: About the role? Could use "About the role" heading with company overview? Might be okay. But we have "How You Will Make An Impact" and "What You Will Do". Those are responsibilities.
We could have sections: About the role (company overview), Responsibilities (How you will make impact + What you will do), Qualifications (Knowledge/Skills/Abilities + Education/Experience), Skills (maybe combine with Knowledge/Skills?), Benefits, Schedule.
We must not create empty sections.

Then EEO statement.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, maybe also "JOIN THE BEST TEAM..." could be considered fluff but it's substantive about company values. Might keep as part of About the role? But we already have About the role with company overview; we could incorporate values there.
Physical Requirements: maybe include as a separate section? Not in allowed headings list; we could put under Requirements? But we have Requirements heading maybe for qualifications? Actually we have Qualifications heading. Physical requirements could be part of Requirements? But we don't have a heading for Physical Requirements; we could include under Requirements as a list? But we must not invent headings not in list. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put Physical Requirements under Requirements (maybe as a list). Or we could omit if not needed? But we should preserve all substantive info; we can include under Requirements.
Skills: we have Knowledge/Skills/Abilities list; could go under Skills.
Qualifications: Education/Experience.
Thus sections:
- About the role: company overview + safety commitment + values? Could include mission.
- Responsibilities: How you will make impact + What you will do (combined).
- Requirements: Physical Requirements (maybe also any other requirements like experience? but that's qualifications). We'll put physical demands.
- Qualifications: Education/Experience.
