We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. From posting: There's a Position Summary (could be About the role). There's Key responsibilities (list). There's Position Essential Functions (list). There's Position Requirements (list). There's Other (scheduling info). There's no explicit Benefits, Pay, etc. So we should not create those sections. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. No Job ID. We need to include metadata like location maybe in a short

. The posting includes "Work Shift LOCATION: Houston, TX". Also "Other Hotel Granduca Houston operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Scheduling may vary...". So we can include schedule info under a Schedule section if we have real schedule content. The posting says scheduling may vary, flexible hours, evenings, weekends, holidays. That's schedule info. So we can create a Schedule section with that content. Benefits: none mentioned. Pay: none. Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? The posting has Position Requirements list. Could treat as Requirements. Skills: maybe separate? But we can combine. We need to use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can reorganize. Let's extract content: Intro paragraph: "Join the team at Hotel Granduca and help create unforgettable experiences in the heart of Houston, Texas. As a luxury boutique hotel and a proud Transwestern Hospitality Group property, Hotel Granduca blends timeless European elegance with warm Texas hospitality. We offer exciting hotel careers and hotel jobs for individuals who are passionate about service, creativity, and excellence. Here, your talent is valued, your growth is supported, and your work makes a meaningful impact—every day. If you’re inspired by exceptional service and a culture rooted in teamwork, professionalism, and pride in delivering memorable guest experiences, we invite you to apply and begin a rewarding career journey with Hotel Granduca." That's prose; could be under About the role? Or maybe a general intro. Since we need sections only when posting has real specific content for it. The intro is about the role/hotel; we could put under About the role. Position Summary: "The Cook sits at the heart of the hotel's food and beverage operations, ensuring that guests experience memorable dining through dishes crafted with the finest ingredients and attention to detail. The Cook works under the direction of the Executive Chef and/or Sous Chef, collaborating with a dedicated kitchen team to deliver exceptional cuisine that matches the luxury standards of the hotel. Key responsibilities include food preparation such as cutting, cooking and the safe handling of food products. The ability to adjust and/or replicate recipes and maintaining consistency is critical. This position requires a strong “client first”, foodservice background and a commitment to maintaining the high standards of the hotel." That's prose; could be About the role as well. Key responsibilities: list? Actually they say "Key responsibilities include food preparation such as cutting, cooking and the safe handling of food products." That's a sentence, not a list. Then later "Position Essential Functions" list. We need to treat Position Essential Functions as list of duties. So we will create Responsibilities section with

    • items from that list. List items: - Prepare, season, and cook a wide variety of dishes according to established recipes and standards. - Ensure all food preparation meets the hotel’s high standards for taste, appearance, and timing. - Adjust recipes and menus based on guest preferences, dietary restrictions, and seasonal availability of ingredients. - Accommodate special requests and dietary needs with professionalism and flexibility. - Maintain impeccable food presentation and uniform portion sizes. - Consistently monitor the quality of ingredients and finished dishes. - Participate in tastings and quality checks, upholding the hotel’s reputation for excellence. - Follow all food safety and sanitation policies, including proper storage, labeling, and handling of ingredients. - Maintain a clean and organized workstation before, during, and after service. - Adhere to all local, state, and federal health regulations and hotel standards. - Work collaboratively with all kitchen staff and servers. - Communicate effectively with front-of-house staff to ensure a seamless flow between kitchen and dining room. - Participate in pre-service meetings and briefings. - May require shift work, overtime and/or on call duties. - Other duties as assigned. Note: "See under “Other.”Other duties as assigned." We'll include "Other duties as assigned." Now Position Requirements list: - High school diploma or general education degree (GED). - 2–3 years of experience in hotel, country club or fine dining environment. - Thorough knowledge in POS systems (i.e., Toast) to process guest orders and payments - Advanced knowledge of food handling/safety procedures. - Ability to understand and give general instructions in standard situations. - Strong organizational, analytical skills, and communication skills in English (verbal and written). - Spanish speaking is a plus. - Strong customer service orientation. - Strong attention to detail and a proactive, guest-service approach. - Positive, professional demeanor and ability to work well in a team environment. - Stooping, standing, climbing, walking, reaching, and frequent lifting food/beverages - May be required to work extended periods of time without relief. - Must be able to lift, push, pull, or carry items weighing up to 50 pounds - Comfortable working in a commercial kitchen setting (e.g., temperature variations, open flames, confined spaces, etc.) Now Other scheduling info: "Other Hotel Granduca Houston operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Scheduling may vary based on operational needs, including shifts, start times, and total hours worked per week. Must be able to work flexible hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed." Also "Work Shift LOCATION: Houston, TX". So location. We can put schedule info under Schedule section. We also have "About Us" paragraph: "Our firm is built on a shared purpose: Empowering good people to do extraordinary things together. We hire smart, passionate, hard-working people who value both collaboration and independence. United by our brand promise, we own the outcome for clients, investors and partners. Learn more at transwestern.com." That's about the company; could be under About the role or maybe a separate section? Not in allowed headings list; we could incorporate into About the role. Also background check etc: "All candidates selected for an offer of employment are subject to pre-employment background checks, which may include criminal history, education verification, motor vehicle records, credit history, and professional license verification. In addition, your employment with Transwestern is subject to successfully passing a drug screen check prior to you starting with the firm." That's also substantive; we could include under Requirements? Or maybe a separate section like Requirements? But we have no heading for background check; we could put under Requirements as additional requirement. Or we could create a separate section like "Requirements" and include that as bullet? But the instruction: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we could add those as list items under Requirements. Similarly "#HG" is a tag; ignore. We must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The background check is not boilerplate? It's a condition of employment; it's substantive. We'll keep. Now we need to decide sections: - About the role (intro + position summary + about us) - Responsibilities (list of essential functions) - Requirements (list of position requirements + background check + drug screen) - Schedule (schedule info + location) Maybe Skills? Not needed. We should not create Benefits, Pay sections. Now we need to output HTML fragment only. Let's craft:
