We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
We need to parse the job posting.
Key info:
- Position: Full-Time, 40 hours +Benefits
- Pay: Salaried position 45k-55k DOE (but earlier Base Pay $50k to $60k Salary; there is inconsistency. The posting says Base Pay $50k to $60k Salary, then later Pay: Salaried position 45k-55k DOE. We need to preserve all substantive info; we should include both? Probably we should include the pay info as stated: "Base Pay $50k to $60k Salary" and "Pay: Salaried position 45k-55k DOE". Might be contradictory but we keep both. However we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does state pay. So we can include a Pay section with the details.
- Schedule: "Ability to work Tuesday - Saturday" and "Ability and willingness to work evenings and weekends according to the parish Faith Formation and sacramental calendar." Also "Full-Time, 40 hours". So we can include Schedule section.
- Benefits: listed: "Comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage options Generous Paid Time Off Retirement Plan: Annual Employer Contribution of 6% of salary to retirement plan plus employee deferrals Employer-Paid Life Insurance, and Short & Long-term disability Virtual care with MyCatholicDoctor.com". So Benefits section.
- Responsibilities: many bullet points. We'll list as

So Benefits section.
- Responsibilities: many bullet points. We'll list as - .
- Qualifications: list of qualifications.
- Preferred Qualifications: also list.
- Skills: maybe we can extract from qualifications: strong pastoral, interpersonal, organizational, communication skills; ability to work effectively with children, parents, catechists, volunteers, clergy, parish staff; ability to work evenings and weekends; etc. Could be a Skills section but we could combine with Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have About the role (Position Summary). We have Responsibilities. We have Qualifications (including required and preferred). We have Skills maybe separate but we could incorporate into Qualifications. However we could create a Skills section if we have specific skill statements. The posting includes "Strong pastoral, interpersonal, organizational, and communication skills." That's a skill. Also "Ability to work effectively with children, parents, catechists, volunteers, clergy, and parish staff." That's also skill. Could be separate Skills section.
- Requirements: maybe we can treat qualifications as requirements. But we have both Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could have Requirements (required qualifications) and then maybe a separate Preferred Qualifications section? But the instruction only lists those headings; we can include Requirements and Qualifications? Actually they listed both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We need to decide. The posting has "Qualifications" (required) and "Preferred Qualifications". So we could have a Requirements section for required qualifications, and a Qualifications section for preferred? Or we could combine. But to follow instruction, we can include both Requirements and Qualifications sections if we have content. Let's do:
- Requirements: required qualifications (practicing Catholic, fluent English/Spanish, strong understanding of Catholic doctrine, etc., ability to work effectively, Safe Environment training, legal authorization).
- Qualifications: preferred qualifications (Bachelor's degree, previous parish leadership, familiarity with Restored Order, experience coordinating OCIA, etc.)
- Skills: maybe we can extract skill statements: strong pastoral, interpersonal, organizational, communication skills; ability to work effectively with children, parents, catechists, volunteers, clergy, parish staff; ability and willingness to work evenings and weekends.
But note that some of those are also in requirements. Might be duplication. However we must preserve all substantive info; duplication is okay if it's in original. But we should avoid repeating same content unnecessarily? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep everything, but we can organize. Duplication is okay if it's present in original; but we should not invent. We can include each piece once, but if it's in both required and preferred we need to keep both. However the skill statements appear only in qualifications section (under "Qualifications"). So we can put them under Skills.
Let's extract:
From posting:

Schedule:
- Full-Time, 40 hours
- Ability to work Tuesday - Saturday
- Ability and willingness to work evenings and weekends according to the parish Faith Formation and sacramental calendar.
Also mention "Position: Full-Time, 40 hours +Benefits". So schedule includes full-time 40 hours.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with
headings for each section we include: About the role (maybe use "About the role" heading), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications (preferred), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not include empty sections. Ensure we don't include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not relevant.
We must not include job title heading. Must not include Job ID etc.
We must not include application instructions (Send applications or inquiries to: financialoffice@lukeone26.org Apply by Email etc). So we must remove those lines.
Also remove boilerplate like "For your privacy and security..." etc.
Also remove "Similar Job Listings" etc.
Also remove "About The Employer" maybe? That's substantive? It describes employer. Could be considered "About the Employer". Not in list of headings but we could include as a paragraph maybe under "About the role"? But we have "About the role" heading for position summary. The "About The Employer" is separate descriptive paragraph about the parish. Could be considered part of "About the role"? Might be better to include as a paragraph under a heading like "About the Employer" but not in allowed headings. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not limited to? 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. The "About The Employer" could be considered part of "About the role" or maybe we could omit it? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. The employer description is substantive. We could include it under a
after the "About the role" heading, as part of that section. That would preserve it.
Thus structure:
