for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invention. Remove boilerplate like EEO, navigation, etc. The posting includes: Job Description Summary (intro), then bullet points about prior experience, etc. Then responsibilities list (seven primary responsibilities). Then Salary Range: Commensurate with experience; low to mid 100's, Relocation Assistance available (even within MA). Then Minimum Education - Preferred BSN; Master’s degree strongly preferred Professional Certification preferred. Minimum Work Experience Three to five (3-5) years... Then Job Description ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS (list 1-7). Then JOB REQUIREMENTS (Minimum Education, Minimum Work Experience, Required Licenses / Registrations, Required additional Knowledge, and Abilities). We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have Salary info: "Salary Range: Commensurate with experience; low to mid 100's, Relocation Assistance available (even within MA)". That's pay and benefits (relocation assistance). So we can have Pay section with that sentence. Benefits: relocation assistance maybe also other benefits? Not mentioned. Could include relocation assistance under Benefits. But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" is okay if it's actual content. It's not placeholder like "TBD". It's actual statement. So we can include Pay: "Commensurate with experience; low to mid 100's". Benefits: "Relocation Assistance available (even within MA)". Schedule: not mentioned, so omit.
Qualifications: could include education, certification preferences. Requirements: maybe experience, licenses. Skills: knowledge/abilities.
We need to avoid duplication. Let's extract substantive content.
