Now, I need to identify what sections exist and what to include/exclude per rules.
Rules recap:
- Use `
` for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule
- Do NOT repeat job title as heading
- Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings
- Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions
- Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail
- IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text, and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them
- Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones
- Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no `/`, no markdown code fences
Let's parse the input for meaningful content by category:
- **Pay/Compensation**: "USD $22.60 - USD $22.60 /Hr. Join Mariner Finance! Base + Incentive: This role is eligible for a competitive monthly incentive based on individual and company performance. The base salary offered within the posted range will be determined based on a variety of job-related factors, including relevant skills, qualifications, experience, and internal equity." -> This has specific pay info and incentive details. Should I create a "Pay" section? The rule says: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state pay: $22.60/hr, and incentive. So I can have a Pay section. But careful: the rule also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." and "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". Pay is specific.
- **Benefits**: "Benefits For information regarding our benefits, please visit: https://www.marinerfinance.com/careers/benefits/ All full time employees are provided with a generous benefits package in addition to their monetary compensation. Learn more about it today." -> This is actual content, but it's a link and a sentence. The rule says never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state benefits, but the content is minimal: "visit link" and "full time employees are provided with a generous benefits package". I need to decide: do I include a Benefits section? The rule says "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". If I include "Benefits" heading, what follows? The text given is specific but sparse. I could fold it into a paragraph or include it as a short paragraph under a Benefits heading, but must ensure no filler. The posting says "For information... visit link... All full time employees are provided with a generous benefits package in addition to their monetary compensation. Learn more about it today." That's substantive enough? I'm leaning to include a Benefits section with that content, as it's not filler; it's actual info. But the rule is strict: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". The content here isn't filler. However, it's very brief. I could fold it into a
without a heading, but the rule says use
for section headings for those categories. I think I should include a Benefits section because the posting explicitly discusses benefits, even if brief. But let's see other sections.
- **About the role/company**: "Since 1927, the Mariner Finance family of companies has provided customers with creative, flexible, and convenient lending options. Headquartered in Baltimore, Mariner Finance operates coast-to-coast with physical locations in over half the states. With a growing number of employees, superior customer service remains the cornerstone of our business, and we pride ourselves in delivering a variety of loans with an enhanced focus on exceptional service. We work with customers to find options that are beneficial to their specific needs, which is why we are recognized by our customers as one of the community’s consumer finance companies of choice." -> This is company info. Could be "About the role" or folded. The heading options include "About the role". I'll use that.
- **Responsibilities And Duties**: Clearly present. Use "Responsibilities" or "Responsibilities And Duties". Rule says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So I can use "Responsibilities".
- **Required Qualifications**: Present. Use "Requirements" or "Qualifications". Rule says headings: Requirements, Qualifications. I'll use "Requ
