We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need headings for sections present: About DESC (maybe About the role?), Responsibilities (Major Duties and Responsibilities), Requirements (Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications maybe), Benefits (Insurance Benefits, Other Benefits), Pay (Salary Description), maybe Schedule? Not present. Also maybe "Job Overview" could be part of About the role? The instruction: use for Living Conditions? The instruction says use
Living Conditions. I'd include as its own
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we need sections: About the role (maybe combine JOB OVERVIEW and About DESC?), Responsibilities (Major Duties and Responsibilities), Requirements (Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications), Benefits (Insurance Benefits, Other Benefits), Pay (Salary Description). Possibly also Skills? Not separate. We'll not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EO, etc. Also remove "Living Conditions" maybe not a standard heading; but it's substantive? It's about living conditions; not in list of allowed headings but could be omitted? The instruction says we can use those headings as examples, but not required to only use those; but better to stick to them. Living Conditions could be part of Responsibilities? Might be omitted? It's substantive but not fitting. Could include as a
under Responsibilities? Probably better to include as a separate section? Not in list; but we could still use
for Living Conditions? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those. Safer to include Living Conditions as a
under Responsibilities or maybe as its own
Living Conditions. I'd include as its own Living Conditions because it's substantive.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include details: Days Off: Saturday, Sunday; Shift: Office Day; Insurance Benefits: Medical (no premiums/payroll deductions for employee coverage), Dental, Life, Long-term Disability; Other Benefits: Employee Assistance Program (EAP), Flexible Spending Account (FSA), ORCA card subsidy, Paid Time Off (34 days per year), Retirement Plan.
Also About DESC paragraph.
Job Overview paragraph.
Major Duties and Responsibilities list (multiple paragraphs). We need to convert to - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The duties are in paragraphs with sentences; we could split each sentence into list items? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should treat each duty as a list item. The text currently is a block with sentences separated by periods. We'll break into logical items: Program Operations (multiple subpoints), Compliance, Supervision & Clinical Oversight, Community Engagement & Agency Representation, Other. Could create list items for each major duty heading and subpoints? Might be okay to keep as paragraphs but instruction says use
