We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to parse the posting: It's a description of Surgical Technologist. Contains description, main function, duties and responsibilities (with many subpoints), qualifications, requirements, job quality requirements, physical/mental requirements, contacts, posting details (employment type, work arrangement, experience, location, posted date). No explicit pay, schedule, benefits. So we should not include Pay, Benefits, Schedule sections because not present. However we might include "About the role" maybe from description? The description includes "The Surgical Technologist assists physicians...". That could be considered About the role. Also "Main Function" etc. Could be part of Responsibilities.
We need to decide sections: Perhaps "About the role" (summary), "Responsibilities" (duties), "Qualifications" (required and preferred), "Skills" (job quality requirements maybe), "Physical Requirements" maybe not a standard heading but we could include under Skills? The instruction says use headings for those specific list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we must map content to these headings. "Requirements" maybe separate from Qualifications? Usually Requirements = required qualifications. Qualifications maybe preferred? But we can combine.
We must not create sections with filler. So we need to see if we have content for each.
- About the role: we have description paragraph: "The Surgical Technologist assists physicians with surgical instrumentation and monitors the availability of supplies in the operating room. They ensure aseptic techniques are followed and maintain accurate patient-care records throughout surgical procedures." That's substantive.
- Responsibilities: we have many duty points under "Duties: and Responsibilities:" plus subpoints like Philosophy, Work Quality, Personal Attributes, Customer Service, Communication and Teamwork, Professional Competence, Safety/Risk Management, Duties (detailed). So we can put those under Responsibilities.
- Requirements: we have "Required: High School Graduate or GED certificate recipient Completion of surgical scrub technician program CST Certification Strong ethical and moral character references Current Basic Cardiac Life Support Certification". Also "Job Quality Requirements: Accuracy Attention to detail Timeliness Organizational skills Efficiency Little supervision needed to accomplish tasks Physical stamina for extra working hours, if needed Dependability: Attendance Punctuality Ability to follow instructions Ability to meet deadlines". Also "Physical/mental Requirements: Ability to walk, sit, and stand for long periods Visual and auditory acuity for frequent use of computer, telephone, and occasional use of other office equipment Capability for occasional overhead and low reaching Physical strength for equipment needs and patient-care activities Visual and auditory acuity for timely responsiveness and patient-care assessment activities Ability to move quickly in response to patient needs Ability to frequently make judgements on/respond to problems Ability to occasionally make judgements on/responds to disasters/emergencies, actual events, or drills Hepatitis immunization/negative TB test (annual tine testing)". So we have requirements.
- Qualifications: we have "Preferred: Two years of previous operating room experience ASC experience Computer literacy". Also maybe "Contacts" etc not needed.
- Skills: maybe we can include "Job Quality Requirements" as skills? Or we could treat "Skills" as separate from Requirements/Qualifications. The instruction says we can include Skills section if posting has real specific content. We have "Job Quality Requirements" which are skills like accuracy, attention to detail, timeliness, organizational skills, efficiency, dependability, etc. Also "Physical/mental Requirements" maybe more abilities. Could be considered Skills. We'll include Skills section with those.
- Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not present, so omit.
We must not include headings with empty content. So we will output:
