Skills
or maybePreferred Qualifications
. The instruction says use headings like Skills, Qualifications, etc. We can combine Minimum Qualifications under Qualifications, and Preferred Qualifications under Skills. Or we could have both Qualifications and Skills sections. We'll include Qualifications (minimum) and Skills (preferred). Ensure we don't create empty sections. - Why Cisco? paragraph about company. Could be "About the role" already used; maybe we can add another section "About Cisco" but not in allowed headings list. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put the Why Cisco paragraph under About the role (expanding). Or we could create a separate section but not allowed; better to incorporate into About the role. - Salary info: "Message to applicants applying to work in the U.S. and/or Canada: The starting salary range posted for this position is $173,400.00 to $231,800.00 and reflects the projected salary range for new hires in this position in U.S. and/or Canada locations, not including incentive compensation*, equity, or benefits.

Employees in Illinois, whether exempt or non-exempt, will participate in a unique time off program to meet local requirements." We need to include Pay and Benefits sections if posting actually states them. It does state salary ranges and benefits. So we should havePay
with paragraph(s) containing salary details. AlsoBenefits
with paragraph(s) describing benefits. We should not include Schedule section because no schedule info. We should not include Requirements heading unless there is specific content; we have qualifications and skills; maybe we could put Requirements as a heading but we already have Qualifications and Skills; but we could also include Requirements as a heading for minimum qualifications? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't forbid using Requirements; but we have qualifications and skills; we could map Minimum Qualifications to Requirements, and Preferred Qualifications to Skills. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine qualifications into Requirements and maybe skip Qualifications heading. But we need to decide. We have both minimum and preferred qualifications; we could put them under Requirements (minimum) and Skills (preferred). That seems logical. Thus sections: - About the role (include Meet the Team, Your Impact Role? Actually Impact Role is responsibilities; but we already have Responsibilities separate. So About the role could include Meet the Team and Why Cisco? maybe also brief description. - Responsibilities (list bullet items) - Requirements (minimum qualifications bullet list) - Skills (preferred qualifications bullet list) - Benefits (paragraph describing benefits) - Pay (paragraph describing salary ranges) We must not repeat job title as heading; we aren't. We must not include Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes "Message to applicants applying to work in the U.S. and/or Canada:" which is part of pay/benefits; we keep that as part of Pay/Benefits. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting: the bullet lists, the salary ranges, the benefits details, the Why Cisco paragraph, the Meet the Team paragraph, the application window date. We need to include the application window date somewhere; maybe as a short paragraph before sections. We must not include any filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now craft HTML. We'll output:The application window is expected to close on: 09/23/2026.
