We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings using for section headings 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 as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key parts:
- Intro: "Help shape critical land and infrastructure projects through expert title review and ownership analysis. ERM is seeking a Consulting Associate, Land Services, Title Reviewer to join our Land Services team in Rolling Meadows, Illinois. In this role, you will support land acquisition, right-of-way, easement, permitting, and property-related projects by reviewing and interpreting real estate title documentation, identifying title issues, and providing clear, actionable findings that help drive successful project outcomes."
- "Why This Role Matters?" paragraph.
- "What Your Impact Is:" paragraph.
- "What You'll Bring:" includes Required and Preferred sections.
- Then "Key Responsibilities:" list.
- Then pay: "For the Consulting Associate, Land Services, Title Reviewer position, the anticipated annual base pay is $68,100–$79,900 (USD). Actual pay will depend on factors such as education, experience, skills, location, performance, and business needs. In some cases, pay may fall outside this range. This role may be eligible for bonus pay (casual and fixed term/flex force employees are not bonus eligible)."
- Benefits: "We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including paid time off, parental leave, medical, dental, vision, life, disability, AD&D insurance, 401(k) or RRSP/DPSP, and other applicable benefits to eligible employees. Note: Bonuses, commissions, and other forms of additional compensation are not guaranteed and subject to the sole discretion of ERM and its policies and procedures."
- "Who We Are:" paragraph about ERM.
- Then application instructions: "Please submit your resume and brief cover letter. ERM does not accept recruiting agency resumes. Please do not forward resumes to our jobs alias, ERM employees or any other company location. ERM is not responsible for any fees related to unsolicited resumes." This is boilerplate/application instructions; we should remove.
- Then EEO statement: "ERM is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity employer..." remove.
- Then "Thank you for your interest in ERM!" remove.
Thus we need sections: About the role (intro + why matters + impact?), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine required and preferred?), Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements?), Skills, Benefits, Pay. Schedule not present, so omit.
We must not create sections with filler. Use

We must not create sections with filler. Use for each section heading.
We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include details from intro, why role matters, impact, what you'll bring (required and preferred), responsibilities, pay, benefits, who we are? The "Who We Are" is substantive about company; could be included maybe under About the role or separate section? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect those headings only. But we could also include a "About ERM" maybe not needed. However we must preserve all substantive information; we could incorporate the "Who We Are" paragraph into About the role section.
Thus we can have sections: About the role (intro + why role matters + impact + who we are), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine required and preferred?), Skills (maybe from what you'll bring: strong organizational skills, proficiency with MS Office, strong written/verbal communication, etc.), Benefits, Pay.
We need to decide what goes where.
