We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro about firm: "Build your big career with the firm that does Big Law, Better. McDermott Will & Schulte is a leading global law firm..." This is about the firm, could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is more about job description. But we can treat the intro as "About the role" maybe? However the instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". They didn't give job title explicitly but we can infer "Client Arrangements Specialist". We should not repeat that as heading. We can have sections: About the role (maybe summarizing firm and role?), Responsibilities (Essential Functions And Responsibilities), Requirements/Qualifications (Job Specifications), Skills (maybe part of Job Specifications), Benefits (benefits program), Pay (Target Hiring Range), Schedule (Full time positions eligible...). Also maybe "Physical Demands And Work Environment" could be omitted unless we have a specific heading? Not in list; we can ignore or maybe include under "About the role"? But we should only include sections with real content. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, disclaimer, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove "Physical Demands And Work Environment" maybe not needed as heading but could be included as part of "About the role"? However the instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can only use those headings. If we have content that doesn't fit those, we could either omit or put under a generic

without heading? Probably better to omit sections not matching those headings, but we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to embed that info somewhere, maybe under "About the role" or "Responsibilities". Physical demands could be part of "About the role" as a paragraph. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics: e.g., "Provide data entry support in actioning of rate setup change requests as approved by team leadership", etc. We need to use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, we should make a
      . For requirements list (Job Specifications) also a
        . For benefits list maybe we need to extract benefits: "benefits program supports your physical, emotional, mental, and financial health, with an emphasis on work-life balance.", "generous compensation packages", "discretionary bonus", "comprehensive benefits package". Also "Full time positions are eligible for a discretionary bonus and a comprehensive benefits package." Also "Target Hiring Range $59,000 - $90,000". Also "Base pay is based on market location..." etc. Also "Successful candidates will be provided with outstanding career opportunities and will receive a competitive total rewards package with the opportunity to earn performance-based bonuses." We need to include Pay section if posting actually states them: yes, Target Hiring Range $59,000 - $90,000. Also mention base pay etc. So we can include Pay section with that info. Schedule: "Full time positions are eligible..." implies full-time schedule. So we can include Schedule section stating full-time. Benefits: we have benefits program details. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", etc. We have actual specifics. We must not include duplicated lines. Also remove disclaimer etc. Let's extract sections: About the role: Could include firm description and position summary. Position Summary paragraph: "The Client Arrangements Specialist supports the Client Arrangements department through data entry in the implementation of client fee arrangements and requirements as requested by Client Accounting, Legal Assistants and Client Arrangements Analysts. This position partners closely with the Client Arrangements Supervisor and Analyst to interpret and improve the client arrangements cycle. The Client Arrangements Specialist works under direct supervision and relies on instructions and guidelines to perform the essential functions of the job." We can also include firm description as part of About the role. Responsibilities: list of essential functions. Requirements/Qualifications: Job Specifications bullet list. Skills: maybe separate but we can combine with Requirements. However we need to decide: we can have Requirements (education, experience) and Skills (specific skills). But we can also just have one section "Requirements" covering both. The instruction says we can use those headings; we can choose to include only those with real content. It's okay to have Requirements and Skills both if we have distinct content. Let's parse Job Specifications: - Bachelor’s degree - Knowledge of Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word) - Prior experience with electronic billing systems, Aderant Expert and Rate Hierarchy a plus - Strong written and verbal communication skills - Strong client service, analytical and problem-solving skills - Excellent organizational skills and strong attention to detail - Ability to work under tight deadlines and prioritize responsibilities - Ability to handle and maintain confidential information - Ability to work in a team environment and share knowledge These are a mix of qualifications and skills. Could split: Requirements: Bachelor’s degree, Prior experience with electronic billing systems... maybe. Skills: Knowledge of MS Office, communication, client service, analytical, organizational, attention to detail, ability to work under deadlines, handle confidential info, teamwork. But we can also just have one "Requirements" section with all. To keep sections few, maybe combine into "Requirements". However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So better to have fewer sections. Let's do: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (includes qualifications and skills), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Good. Now we need to format. HTML fragment: no /. Just sections. We'll output something like:

        We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance..." etc. That's EEO/legal boilerplate; we should remove. Also remove "Physical Demands And Work Environment", "Disclaimer". Also remove "Successful candidates will be provided with outstanding career opportunities and will receive a competitive total rewards package with the opportunity to earn performance-based bonuses." Actually we included that in Benefits. Good. Check for duplicated lines: we have not repeated. Check for any content we missed: The firm description about "We celebrate excellence, collaboration, and community and have been recognized as a top workplace..." we included. Also "We also certified by Great Place to Work." included. Also "At McDermott, we don’t just invest in your future, we accelerate your career – wherever it may lead. That includes supporting you both in and outside of the office." Could be included in About the role. We omitted that sentence. Should we include? It's substantive about supporting you both in and outside of the office. Let's add to About the role paragraph. Also "With Us, You’ll Find A firm where everyone belongs: Our award-winning culture prioritizes warmth and authenticity — we encourage you to be yourself! Enthusiasm for all perspectives: We’re smarter and stronger when everyone has a voice and a seat at the table. We welcome unique viewpoints and ideas, and we make opportunities for you and your career to thrive. Support to feel your best and do your best: Wellness is integral to building a successful career and a rich life. That’s why our benefits program supports your physical, emotional, mental, and financial health, with an emphasis on work-life balance." Some of that is covered in Benefits but we could incorporate culture aspects into About the role. We must not invent or summarize away detail; we can include these statements as they are. Let's rewrite About the role to include those culture statements. We'll combine: "McDermott Will & Schulte is a leading global law firm that brings together more than 1,700+ lawyers and 1,400 business professionals. We celebrate excellence, collaboration, and community and have been recognized as a top workplace by USA Today, Fortune, The American Lawyer, Vault and others.
