We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have sections: Who We Are, What We Do, What You'll Do, How You'll Contribute, What You'll Bring, Pay Range, What We Offer. According to rules: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to map content to these headings. The posting includes: Who We Are (company description) maybe "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is generic; but we can use headings that match content: "About the company"? Not in list. The list includes: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should use those headings only when we have real specific content. We need to decide which sections to include.
We have content: Who We Are (company overview) could go under "About the role"? Not exactly but maybe we treat as "About the role". Could also be omitted? The instruction: "Use

We have content: Who We Are (company overview) could go under "About the role"? Not exactly but maybe we treat as "About the role". Could also be omitted? The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning those are examples; we can use other headings? Probably we should stick to those headings. But we need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we need to map content to these headings.
Let's identify:
- About the role: could include description of role: "First American is seeking a Commercial Underwriting Manager to lead the day-to-day activities of a team of Underwriters while providing underwriting support and expertise related to the issuance of real estate title insurance commitments and policies." Also location hybrid Tampa/Orlando.
- Responsibilities: list of duties: Manage day-to-day activities, provide underwriting support, utilize standards, provide guidance in performance of real estate settlement services, manage and prioritize daily operations, lead team, contribute to project reviews, participate in long-range planning, conduct performance reviews, etc. Also "Perform other duties as assigned."
- Requirements: maybe "What You'll Bring": Juris Doctor preferred, Bachelor's degree, 5-7 years experience, 3-5 years supervisory, etc. Also skills: ability to build relationships, influencing, communication, etc. Could be split into Requirements and Qualifications and Skills. But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine into Qualifications (education/experience) and Skills (abilities). However we have many bullet-like items.
- Benefits: "What We Offer": comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401k, PTO/paid sick leave, employee stock purchase plan, inclusive culture.
- Pay: Pay Range: $117,500 - $156,700 Annually.
- Schedule: Not mentioned; we should not create Schedule section.
Thus we will output sections: About the role (About the role
), Responsibilities (Responsibilities
), Qualifications (Qualifications
) maybe also Skills? But we could put skills under Qualifications or separate. To avoid many thin sections, we could combine Qualifications and Skills into one Qualifications
containing both education/experience and skills. Or we could have Requirements (education/experience) and Skills separate. Let's see: The list includes many skill items; we could put them under Skills. But we need to avoid thin sections; but Skills section would have many bullet points, that's substantive. So we can have both Qualifications (education/experience) and Skills.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities, Qualifications (if list), Skills, Benefits we need lists.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each bullet point exactly as in text, maybe rephrase slightly but preserve meaning. Must not drop any detail.
Let's extract details.
From posting:
Who We Are (company description) - we may include in About the role? Actually About the role should be role description, not company. But we could put company description under About the role? Might be okay but maybe better to have About the role include both role and company? The instruction says use headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities... So we can put company overview under About the role? Might be weird but acceptable. However we have a separate "Who We Are" section; we could treat that as About the role? Not ideal but we need to use allowed headings. Could also omit company description? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; cannot drop it. So we need to include it somewhere. If we don't have a heading for company overview, we could put it as a
before first heading? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. It might be okay to have a
without heading for company overview. But they said "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests we should use those headings for sections. It doesn't say we cannot have other headings, but to be safe we could incorporate company overview into About the role heading.
Thus About the role will contain: company description + role description + location.
Let's extract company description:
"Join a team that puts its People First!

In this role, you'll help ensure the consistent application of underwriting standards and guidelines within delegated authority limits while providing guidance in the performance of real estate settlement services. Location: Hybrid opportunity in Tampa or Orlando, FL."
We'll combine.
Now Responsibilities: bullet list from "What You'll Do" and "How You'll Contribute" and maybe "Perform other duties as assigned."
Let's list each duty:

We need to list benefits as items: medical, dental, vision, 401k, PTO/paid sick leave, employee stock purchase plan. Also mention inclusive culture etc. Could be prose but we need list for benefits. We'll create
- for each benefit item. Also we could keep the cultural statements as

Pay is based on a number of factors which may include job-related knowledge, skills, experience, business requirements and geographic location." We need to preserve all substantive information; we can include that as

Now Schedule: not present, so omit.
Now ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. We didn't.
Now output HTML fragment: sections with
and content.
We need to avoid markdown code fences. Just raw HTML.
Let's craft.
