We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Overview? The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. The posting includes sections: Overview About PHOENIX, About Express, About Bonobos, Location Name New York Office, Responsibilities (POSITION OVERVIEW...), Key Responsibilities (list), Required Experience & Qualifications, Critical Skills & Attributes, Benefits & Compensation, Pay (Benefits & Compensation), Pay Range, etc. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can have: - About the role? Could be the POSITION OVERVIEW (maybe "About the role"). - Responsibilities: list of key responsibilities. - Requirements: maybe combine Required Experience & Qualifications. - Qualifications: maybe separate? But we can combine. - Skills: Critical Skills & Attributes. - Benefits: Benefits & Compensation. - Pay: Pay Range. - Schedule: Not present, so omit. Also we might include a short paragraph for location metadata? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Location Name New York Office is minor metadata; we can put in a
. Also the overview about PHOENIX, Express, Bonobos is company description; could be included as a short paragraph under maybe "About the company"? Not listed as allowed heading but we could put as a
before sections. The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should follow that pattern. Probably we can include a brief intro paragraph without heading. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all bullet points from responsibilities, required experience, skills, benefits, pay range. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to cut out the closing section about California Consumer Privacy Act, work authorization, equal opportunity, accommodation, etc. Also remove "If you would like to know more about the California Consumer Privacy Act click here." etc. Thus final HTML will have:
Location: New York Office
