Breeding Kennel Manager

The user wants me to reformat this job posting into clean semantic HTML. Let me analyze the content and structure it according to the rules. First, I need to identify the sections: 1. About the role / Company overview (the first few paragraphs) 2. The Role - Leadership & Team Management 3. Animal Care & Clinical Support 4. Kennel Operations 5. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Program Oversight 6. Operations, Compliance & Continuous Improvement 7. Additional Responsibilities 8. Required Qualifications (with subsections: Qualifications You Will Need, Professional Skills, Communication & Collaboration, Technical & Physical Requirements) 9. Preferred Qualifications 10. Salary Range (Pay) 11. Benefits I need to use

for section headings,

• for lists,

  for prose. Don't repeat job title as heading. Don't include Job ID/requisition numbers (none here). Remove boilerplate like EEO, application instructions (the "Please include a cover letter..." and "only candidates under consideration will be contacted" are application instructions - should remove). The "This job description is intended to describe..." is also boilerplate. The salary range is given: $65k - $70k annually. Benefits are listed. So I should include Pay and Benefits sections. Let me structure: - About the role (company mission/overview) - prose paragraphs - Leadership & Team Management - list - Animal Care & Clinical Support - list - Kennel Operations - list - Cross-Functional Collaboration & Program Oversight - list - Operations, Compliance & Continuous Improvement - list - Additional Responsibilities - prose (single item) - Required Qualifications - with subsections? The rules say use h3 for section headings. The subsections like "Qualifications You Will Need", "Professional Skills", etc. could be h3 or maybe h4? But the instruction says use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't mention subsections. I think I should treat each major section as h3. The "Required Qualifications" is a major section, but it has sub-sections. I could make "Required Qualifications" as h3 and then the sub-sections as h4? But the instruction only mentions h3. However, the example includes "Qualifications" as a heading. I think I'll make "Required Qualifications" as h3, and then within it, use h4 for sub-sections? But the instruction says "use

  for section headings". It doesn't forbid h4. But to be safe, maybe I should keep it flat: each bullet list under Required Qualifications could be separate h3 sections? But they are subsections of Required Qualifications. The posting has "Required Qualifications" then "Qualifications You Will Need", "Professional Skills", "Communication & Collaboration", "Technical & Physical Requirements". Then "Preferred Qualifications". I think I'll make "Required Qualifications" as h3, and then each sub-section as h3 as well? That might be odd. Alternatively, I can combine them under one h3 "Required Qualifications" and use lists for each category. But the content is distinct. The instruction: "use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". So "Qualifications" is a section heading. "Skills" is separate. Here we have "Professional Skills" and "Communication & Collaboration" and "Technical & Physical Requirements". They could be separate sections. But they are all under "Required Qualifications". I'll treat "Required Qualifications" as a section, and then each sub-category as a subsection with h3? That would create many h3s. That's okay. Better: Use h3 for each major area: "Required Qualifications", "Preferred Qualifications", "Salary Range", "Benefits". And within Required Qualifications, use h4 for sub-sections? The instruction doesn't mention h4. But it says "use

  for section headings". It doesn't say you cannot use h4. However, to follow the instruction strictly, maybe I should only use h3. I'll use h3 for each distinct section, including sub-sections. That will produce many h3s but that's fine. Let's outline:

  I need to remove the application instructions: "Please include a cover letter along with your resume telling us 'About You' and to share why you're excited about contributing to our mission." and "As a Guiding Eyes employee, you will enjoy knowing that every day you make a difference in the lives of people with vision loss!
