We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Overview, Job Description, Required Skills, Physical Demands. Also mention US Citizen, Fully onsite Petaluma, Ongoing contract with potential to transition to direct hire, W2 with full benefits, Offer contingent on background check/drug screen, Worker Type: Contractor, Clearance Level: No Clearance. Those are metadata; we should fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include sections: maybe Overview (but we shouldn't repeat job title). Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for Overview (job description), Responsibilities (job description), Requirements (required skills), Qualifications (maybe education/experience), Skills (list of skills), Benefits (W2 with full benefits mentioned), Pay (not mentioned), Schedule (not mentioned). So we should not create Pay or Schedule sections because not stated. Benefits: "W2 with full benefits" is mentioned, so we can include Benefits section with that line. Also mention "Offer contingent on ability to successfully pass a background check and drug screen" maybe could go in Overview or a separate section like Requirements? Probably include in Overview as part of conditions. Also "Must be a US Citizen", "Fully onsite in Petaluma, CA", "Ongoing contract with the potential to transition to direct hire", "Worker Type: Contractor", "Clearance Level: No Clearance". These are metadata; we can fold into a short

under Overview or a separate section like "Job Details". But we only allowed headings from list; we could put them under About the role or Overview. Since we cannot invent new headings, we can put them in a

under 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 use those exact headings. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (job description duties), Requirements (maybe education/experience), Qualifications (maybe preferred?), Skills (list of skills), Benefits (W2 with full benefits). We should not repeat content. Let's parse. Overview: Must be a US Citizen, Fully onsite in Petaluma, CA, Ongoing contract with potential to transition to direct hire, W2 with full benefits, Offer contingent on ability to successfully pass a background check and drug screen, Worker Type: Contractor, Clearance Level: No Clearance. Job Description: The Buyer II performs procurement duties... (list of duties). That's responsibilities.

Since we have many skill items, we can put them under Skills. The Required Skills section includes education, experience, knowledge, etc. We could split: Requirements (education/experience), Skills (technical/soft skills). Qualifications maybe not needed. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's design:
