for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
2. Use - for lists,
for prose
3. Do NOT repeat job title as heading (page already shows it)
4. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings - fold minor metadata into short
or drop
5. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail
6. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions
7. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it - never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text
8. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them
9. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones
10. Output ONLY HTML fragment - no /, no markdown code fences
Let me analyze the job posting content:
- Employment Type, Position Classification, Remuneration, Requisition ID, Closing Date - these are metadata
- Job title: "Clinical Director, Mental Health Inpatient Unit & Older Persons Unit - Wagga Wagga Base Hospital"
- "About The Opportunity" - describes the role
- "Why Wagga Wagga Base Hospital?" - benefits/perks
- "What You'll Be Doing" - responsibilities
- "What We're Looking For" - requirements/qualifications
- "Discover Wagga Wagga" - location info
- "Selection Criteria" - detailed requirements
- Contact info for queries
- Application instructions (to be removed)
- EEO statement (boilerplate, remove)
- Police check info (boilerplate, remove)
I need to structure this into semantic sections. Let me map:
1. About the role - from "About The Opportunity"
2. Responsibilities - from "What You'll Be Doing"
3. Requirements/Qualifications - from "What We're Looking For" and "Selection Criteria" (these overlap, I should combine)
4. Benefits - from "Why Wagga Wagga Base Hospital?" and "Discover Wagga Wagga"
5. Maybe a brief metadata paragraph for employment type, classification, remuneration, closing date
The posting mentions "Remuneration: Visiting Medical Officer or Staff Specialist (State) Award" - that's pay info, but it's just referencing an award, not specific numbers. The rules say never create Pay section unless posting actually states them. This is a reference to an award, not specific pay. I'll include it in metadata.
Closing date is specific: "Sunday 22 November 2026" - I can include in metadata.
Requisition ID is minor metadata - fold into short
or drop. I'll include in metadata paragraph.
Now, let me write the HTML.
I'll start with a metadata paragraph, then sections.
