We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include only sections with real content. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - About the role / Mission? There's "Our Mission" paragraph. Could be "About the role" or "Our Mission". Use

About the role

maybe. But we need to decide headings: The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings based on content. We have: - Mission/Why This Role Is Different: includes description of mission, why role is different. Could be "About the role" or "Why This Role Is Different". Probably "About the role" fits. - Responsibilities: "What You'll Do As a Child Development Specialist" bullet list. - Requirements: list of requirements: Bachelor's degree, driver's license, physical tasks, communication skills. - Qualifications/Training, Growth, And Career Development: could be "Training, Growth, And Career Development" maybe as "Qualifications" or "Skills". But we have separate sections for Skills maybe. The posting includes "Training, Growth, And Career Development" describing paid training, mentorship, progression, etc. Could be "Qualifications" or "Benefits"? Actually benefits separate. - Benefits And Perks: list includes referral bonus, tech stipend, paid drive time, mileage reimbursement, paid training, letters of recommendation. - Pay: Direct Pay $26-$30/hour, Training/Admin Pay $20/hour. - Schedule: Part-time schedules: 3-5 days per week M-F (3pm-8pm) or Sat/Sun (9am-3pm). Also paid drive time + mileage reimbursement (but that's also benefit). We'll include schedule. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, background check, etc. Remove those lines. We must not include duplicated lines. We must not include application instructions. We must not include cookie/navigation/legal etc. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay numbers. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none present). We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract content. Mission/Why This Role Is Different: Paragraphs: "Our Mission Make a real impact. Build real skills. Grow with us. At Positive Development, we believe every child deserves the chance to grow, learn, and thrive and every burgeoning professional deserves meaningful work that builds real skills for the future. We work one-on-one with autistic children, helping them build communication, social, and daily living skills through play-based, relationship-focused interactions. Why This Role Is Different This isn’t a passive “observe and assist” job. You’ll be actively coaching, connecting, and helping children grow; while gaining experience that’s highly relevant for careers in: PsychologySocial WorkOccupational TherapySpeech Language PathologyEducation and Special EducationCounselingMedicine and Health This work is deeply rewarding, but it requires patience, emotional maturity, and commitment. You’ll be supported every step of the way by experienced clinicians and supervisors who are invested in your growth. We’re Especially Excited To Meet Candidates Who Are Passionate about working with children and teensCurious about human development and learningPatient, empathetic, and enthusiasticReliable and committed to a consistent schedule (kids depend on consistency!)Comfortable working directly with families in home-based setting Great Fits Include Education majors, psychology students, pre-meds, nursing students, OT/SLP hopefuls, behavior technicians, camp counselors, teacher’s assistants, childcare providers, direct support professionals, and caregivers." We can combine into a prose paragraph(s). We'll put under

About the role

maybe. Responsibilities: "What You'll Do As a Child Development Specialist You'll work one-on-one with children in their homes and/or center based to: Build communication, social, and daily living skills through play, conversation, and shared activitiesCreate meaningful connections that help children think, create, and engage with the worldFollow a relationship-based intervention model designed to achieve strong outcomes with fewer session hoursTrack progress by documenting session notes and goal outcomesCollaborate closely with clinicians and supervisors to build clinical skills and confidenceLearn how evidence-based developmental care works in real life, not just in textbooks" We need to split into list items. Each bullet after colon. We'll produce
  • Build communication, social, and daily living skills through play, conversation, and shared activities
  • etc. Requirements: "Bachelor's degree in a related field and at least 1 year of volunteer or working experience with children required.Valid driver’s license + reliable transportation (30–40 min drive radius).Ability to complete physical tasks, including:Playing on the floor/ground for up to two-three hours per sessionLifting/carrying up to 40 lbsSitting, kneeling, crouching, or moving quickly to ensure child safetyStrong communication skills and professionalism with families and teammates" We can split: Bachelor's degree..., Valid driver's license..., Ability to complete physical tasks... (list subitems), Strong communication skills... We'll make
      for requirements. Training, Growth, And Career Development: "We invest in you because strong clinicians start with strong support. You don’t need to be an expert- we’ll train you.Paid New Hire TrainingOngoing coaching and mentorship from expert cliniciansOpportunities for role progression, pay increases, and performance bonusesExposure to a cutting-edge model of autism care with measurable outcome" We'll put under

      Training and Development

      maybe but allowed headings list includes Skills, Qualifications. Could use "Qualifications" for this? But qualifications often refer to requirements. However we already have Requirements. Could use "Skills" for this? Not exactly. Maybe "Training and Development" is not in the list but we can still use

      as any heading? 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. Safer to stick to those examples. So we need to map content to those headings. We have: - About the role (mission/why different) - Responsibilities - Requirements - Qualifications (maybe training/growth) - Skills (maybe communication skills? but we already have communication skills in requirements) - Benefits - Pay - Schedule We could put training/growth under Qualifications. Skills: maybe we could list "Strong communication skills and professionalism" but that's already in requirements. Could also list "Patient, empathetic, enthusiastic" etc from "We’re Especially Excited To Meet Candidates". Those are desired traits/skills. Could put under Skills. Let's extract desired traits: "Passionate about working with children and teens, Curious about human development and learning, Patient, empathetic, and enthusiastic, Reliable and committed to a consistent schedule, Comfortable working directly with families in home-based setting". Also "Great Fits Include Education majors, psychology students, pre-meds, nursing students, OT/SLP hopefuls, behavior technicians, camp counselors, teacher’s assistants, childcare providers, direct support professionals, and caregivers." That's more about background. We could put those under Skills or Qualifications. Let's decide: - Qualifications: Education/training, progression, etc. - Skills: Desired personal attributes (passionate, curious, patient, empathetic, enthusiastic, reliable, comfortable working with families). We'll create

      Skills

      with list. Benefits: we have list. Pay: Direct Pay $26-$30/hour, Training/Admin Pay $20/hour. Schedule: Part-time schedules: 3,4,5 days per week M-F (most available hours 3pm-8pm) OR Saturday and Sunday (most available hours 9a-3pm). Paid drive time + mileage reimbursement (IRS rate) between clients. This is also a benefit but we can include in Schedule. We must not duplicate content: Paid drive time + mileage reimbursement appears both in Pay? Actually it's under Pay And Schedules section: "Paid drive time + mileage reimbursement (IRS rate) between clients". Also appears under Benefits And Perks: "Paid drive time at admin rate + mileage reimbursement between clients". Slight difference: admin rate vs? We'll keep both but avoid duplication? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove duplicated lines. If the same sentence appears twice, we should deduplicate. Here they are similar but not identical: one says "Paid drive time + mileage reimbursement (IRS rate) between clients" under Pay And Schedules; the other says "Paid drive time at admin rate + mileage reimbursement between clients" under Benefits. Slight difference: admin rate vs IRS rate? Actually first says IRS rate, second says admin rate. Both are substantive; we should keep both? Might be considered duplicated but with slight variation. Safer to keep both but maybe combine? The instruction says remove duplicated lines. Not exactly same line. We'll keep both but maybe note they are similar. We'll keep both as separate bullet points under Benefits and Schedule? But schedule already includes paid drive time + mileage reimbursement. Benefits also includes paid drive time at admin rate + mileage reimbursement. To avoid duplication, we could keep only one instance, but we risk losing nuance (admin rate vs IRS rate). The nuance: Pay And Schedules says IRS rate; Benefits says admin rate. Might be two different things: drive time paid at admin rate ($20/hour) plus mileage reimbursement at IRS rate. Actually reading: Pay And Schedules: "Paid drive time + mileage reimbursement (IRS rate) between clients". Benefits: "Paid drive time at admin rate + mileage reimbursement between clients". So drive time paid at admin rate ($20/hour) and mileage reimbursement at IRS rate. So they are complementary. We should keep both but maybe combine into a single bullet: "Paid drive time at admin rate ($20/hour) plus mileage reimbursement at IRS rate". That preserves both details without duplication. That's acceptable as we are not inventing; we are combining info from two places. That's fine. Now we need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:
