Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to extract content.

Equal Opportunity Employer/Disabled/Veterans (boilerplate)
According to the FTC... (scam warning) (boilerplate)
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, scam warning.
We need sections: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (maybe training and oversight), Requirements (education, certifications, experience), Qualifications (maybe knowledge, skills, abilities?), Skills (maybe interpersonal, telephone, calculation), Benefits (benefits listed), Pay (compensation range), Schedule (Full Time, Rotating Shifts). Also maybe Department? Not required heading.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
Let's extract:
About the role: Position Summary: The Technician III is responsible for providing high quality patient focused pharmacy services. Will also provide training and oversight for pharmacy Technicians I & II.
Responsibilities: Could be the training and oversight? Also maybe compounding Pediatric IV, Chemo IV, maintain competency, complete exams. Those are more like requirements for inpatient. But responsibilities could be providing training and oversight, providing high quality patient focused pharmacy services. We'll put that.
Requirements: Education: high school diploma or equivalent; Associate's or Bachelor's preferred. Certifications: MA Board registration; national certification (CPT) from PTCB or exCPT. Experience: minimum four years related experience.
Qualifications: Could be Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities: excellent interpersonal skills, telephone communications skills, pharmaceutical calculation skills; able to perform at high level in all aspects of outpatient pharmacy operations and maintain competency in all areas of outpatient pharmacy. Also Requirements For Inpatient: able to compound Pediatric IV, Chemo IV; maintain competency in all areas of inpatient pharmacy; must complete IV Room Competency exam (>=90%), USP 797 Competency exam (>=85%), Hazardous Drug Competency exam (>=90%), Pediatric Competency exam (>=90%). That seems like qualifications.
Skills: Could be interpersonal, telephone, pharmaceutical calculation. But we already used those in qualifications. Maybe separate Skills section for those specific skills. However we need to avoid duplication? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We can split but must not lose info. Could have Skills section listing those skills, and Qualifications section listing education, certs, experience, inpatient requirements. But we already have Requirements section for education, certs, experience. Then Qualifications for knowledge, skills, abilities and inpatient specifics. Then Skills maybe redundant. Better to follow typical headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We'll assign content accordingly.
Let's map:
- About the role: Position Summary.
- Responsibilities: Provide high quality patient focused pharmacy services; provide training and oversight for pharmacy Technicians I & II.
- Requirements: Education (HS diploma or equivalent; Associate's or Bachelor's preferred); Certifications (MA Board registration; national certification CPT from PTCB or exCPT); Experience (minimum 4 years related experience).
- Qualifications: Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities (excellent interpersonal skills, telephone communications skills, pharmaceutical calculation skills; able to perform at high level in all aspects of outpatient pharmacy operations and maintain competency in all areas of outpatient pharmacy); Inpatient requirements (able to compound Pediatric IV, Chemo IV; maintain competency in all areas of inpatient pharmacy; must complete IV Room Competency exam (>=90%), USP 797 Competency exam (>=85%), Hazardous Drug Competency exam (>=90%), Pediatric Competency exam (>=90%)).
- Skills: Could list interpersonal, telephone, pharmaceutical calculation (but already in Qualifications). Maybe we can put specific skills like "pharmaceutical calculation", "interpersonal communication", "telephone communication". However to avoid duplication, we could still list them but it's okay as long as we preserve info. The instruction says do not invent or summarize away detail; duplication is not prohibited but might be redundant. Better to avoid duplication by not repeating same content. So maybe Skills section can be omitted if we already covered in Qualifications. But we need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. If we already used those skills in Qualifications, we could still have Skills section but would be repeating. Might be considered filler? Not necessarily filler but duplicate. Safer to omit Skills section if we already covered. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine. Let's not include Skills section if we already covered in Qualifications. But we need to follow the list of allowed headings; we can omit any heading if no real specific content. So we can omit Skills.
- Benefits: benefits (medical, dental, vision, pharmacy), discretionary annual bonuses and merit increases, Flexible Spending Accounts, 403(b) savings matches, paid time off, career advancement opportunities, resources to support employee and family well-being.
- Pay: Compensation Range $26.92- $37.74; note about factors; note about Boston-area data.

Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings and - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide what is a list. For responsibilities, we have two items: providing high quality patient focused pharmacy services; providing training and oversight for pharmacy Technicians I & II. Could be a list.
For requirements: we have subcategories: Education, Certifications, Experience. Could be a list with sub-items? Might be better to use
- for each bullet. For each requirement category we could have a
describing? But instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So if we have multiple items, we should use list.
Thus:
