for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: Job summary (maybe "About the role"?), Duties & Responsibilities (Responsibilities), Qualifications (Qualifications), Competencies/Skills (Skills), About Nclh (maybe About the role? Actually about company). There's no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not create those sections. Also we should not repeat job title as heading. Also we should not include metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate: APPLY ONLINE, EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, legal, EEO, scam-warning. Also remove "Learn More About Our Company At a Glance Brand Overview ..."? That's part of About Nclh but maybe we keep the description. The "About Nclh" paragraph is okay. The "Learn More About Our Company At a Glance Brand Overview Norwegian Cruise Line Oceania Cruises Regent Seven Seas Cruises New Releases" seems like a list of headings but no detail; we might drop that as it's just headings without content. Also "EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER" boilerplate remove. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include: - Job summary paragraph: "Responsible for developing, maintaining, and servicing a designated portfolio of travel agency accounts in Houston and surrounding South Texas areas. Maintain and further develop travel agency relationships within territory. Design and implement local and national marketing and promotional programs to achieve and maximize territory sales objectives. Develop marketing plans and a variety of strategies, marketing initiatives and innovative methods to stimulate agency revenue growth targets. The ideal candidate will be based in Houston, TX." - Duties & Responsibilities: list of bullet points (the long list). We need to convert each sentence into
- for each.
- Qualifications: includes DEGREE TYPE, FIELD(S) OF STUDY, EXPERIENCE. We'll put as
- items.
- Competencies/Skills: list of skills. We'll put as
- .
- About Nclh: paragraph describing company.
We need headings: For job summary we could use
About the role
. For duties:Responsibilities
. For qualifications:Qualifications
. For skills:Skills
. For about company: maybeAbout the company
but allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. "About the company" not in list but we could use "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is for role summary. The company description maybe could be under "About the role"? Not ideal. But we could omit heading for company description and just putafter qualifications? However we need to preserve all substantive information. Could we put it under
About the role
and include both summary and company? That might mix. Better to create a heading not in list? The instruction says usefor section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive? It says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we should map content to those headings. "About the role" can include job summary and maybe company overview? But "About the role" is about the role, not company. However we could put company info under "About the role" as a brief description? Might be okay. But we also have "Requirements" heading not used; we have qualifications and skills separate. Could combine qualifications and skills under "Requirements"? But they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could have sections: About the role (summary + company), Responsibilities, Requirements (qualifications + skills). That would be three sections. That seems reasonable. Thus:
About the role
Job summary paragraph + company description.
Responsibilities
- ... ...
Requirements
- ... qualifications ...
- ... skills ... ...

s. Probably one
with both sentences. Now Responsibilities: list each duty sentence. Let's extract duties from the block after "Duties & Responsibilities".

We need to split into sensible items. Each sentence ends with a period. Some have no space before next sentence (e.g., "...territory.Create"). We'll add space. Let's list: 1.
