We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for each section that has real content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Keep substantive info. We need sections: About the role? The posting includes introductory paragraphs about EY and opportunity. Could be "About the role" or "Overview". The instruction: 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 content: Intro about EY, Opportunity description, Your Key Responsibilities, Skills And Attributes For Success, To qualify for the role, you must have: (qualifications), Ideally, you’ll also have: (preferred qualifications), What We Look For, What We Offer You (includes salary range and benefits), plus maybe "Benefits" and "Pay" sections. We need to include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does: salary ranges for various locations. So we should have a Pay section with that info. Benefits: posting mentions "Total Rewards package includes medical and dental coverage, pension and 401(k) plans, and a wide range of paid time off options." That's benefits. So Benefits section. Schedule: not mentioned. So omit Schedule. Qualifications vs Requirements vs Skills: The posting has "To qualify for the role, you must have:" (requirements) and "Ideally, you’ll also have:" (preferred). Also "Skills And Attributes For Success". Could combine Skills and Attributes as Skills section. Could have Requirements (mandatory) and Preferred Qualifications (optional). But instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine qualifications and skills into one "Requirements" section? But we have distinct content: Skills And Attributes For Success (skills), To qualify (requirements), Ideally also have (preferred). Might be okay to have three sections: Skills, Requirements, Preferred Qualifications. But we need to avoid thin sections; each has decent content. We also have "What We Look For" (maybe could be part of Overview). Could omit or combine into About the role. We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep details like bullet points. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, we need
      . For qualifications list, also
        . For skills list, also
          . For benefits list, also
            . For pay, we can just put

            with salary ranges. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. We need to strip out navigation, cookie, legal, EEO, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Let's extract substantive paragraphs: - Location: Anywhere in Country (maybe ignore as metadata? Could be minor metadata; we can fold into short

            or drop. Probably drop. - At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence.
