for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
2. Use - for lists of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose
3. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading
4. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings
5. Preserve ALL substantive information
6. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions)
7. Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it
8. Never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text
9. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them
10. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences
Let me analyze the job posting content:
The posting has:
- Basic Job Functions (description of role)
- Education/Experience (required and preferred)
- Required Skills/Competencies (many listed)
- Essential Responsibilities (many listed)
- Reporting Relationships (no direct reports)
- Travel (up to 20%)
- Estimated Salary Range ($84,200 - $120,000 annually US)
- Physical Requirements (office)
- EEO statement (boilerplate - remove)
- Background check requirement (boilerplate - remove)
I need to organize this into appropriate sections. The user mentioned specific section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Looking at the content:
- "Basic Job Functions" could be "About the role"
- "Essential Responsibilities" -> "Responsibilities"
- "Education/Experience" -> "Requirements" or "Qualifications"
- "Required Skills/Competencies" -> "Skills"
- "Reporting Relationships" and "Travel" could be part of "About the role" or separate
- "Estimated Salary Range" -> "Pay"
- "Physical Requirements" -> maybe "Requirements" or separate
The user says: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". So I should use these exact headings where applicable.
I need to decide which sections to include. The posting has:
- About the role (Basic Job Functions)
- Responsibilities (Essential Responsibilities)
- Requirements (Education/Experience required)
- Qualifications (Education/Experience preferred)
- Skills (Required Skills/Competencies)
- Pay (Estimated Salary Range)
- Schedule (Travel up to 20%)
No Benefits section mentioned specifically, so I won't include it.
I should fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Reporting Relationships (no direct reports) could be a short paragraph.
Now, I need to structure the HTML.
Let me draft:
