We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About United Way of the Midlands" and "JAG Nebraska Career Specialist Summary". The instructions: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. So we need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- About United Way of the Midlands (organization description). Could be "About the role"? Actually "About United Way of the Midlands" is about organization, not role. But we could treat as "About the role"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. We can include "About the role" heading and put the summary? However we also have a "JAG Nebraska Career Specialist Summary". That could be considered role summary. So we could have a section "About the role" containing the summary paragraph.
But we also have "About United Way of the Midlands" which is organization info. Could we include that under "About the role"? Might be okay to include as part of role description. However we need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include both the organization description and the role summary. Perhaps we can have two sections: "About United Way of the Midlands" and "About the role"? But the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use

But the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings when appropriate. It doesn't say we cannot use other headings, but likely they expect only those. However we can include "About United Way of the Midlands" as a paragraph under "About the role" or maybe we can have a separate "About the organization" but that's not in list. Safer to embed it within "About the role" section.
Thus sections:
- About the role: include organization description and role summary.
- Responsibilities: list bullet points.
- Requirements: maybe combine Education and Experience, Required Skills and Abilities, Physical Requirements? The instruction says we can have Requirements, Qualifications, Skills sections. We need to decide.
We have:
Required Skills and Abilities (list)
Education and Experience (list)
Physical Requirements (list)
Supervisory Responsibilities (none)
Also there is "FLSA Status: Full-time, Exempt Location: Omaha, NE (on-site)" - minor metadata, we can fold into short p or drop.
Benefits: list.
No Pay or Schedule info.
Thus we can have sections:
- About the role (h3)
- Responsibilities (h3)
- Required Skills and Abilities (maybe as Skills) (h3)
- Education and Experience (maybe as Qualifications) (h3)
- Physical Requirements (maybe as Requirements?) but we could put under Requirements. However we have separate "Requirements" heading; we could put Education and Experience under Qualifications, Required Skills under Skills, Physical Requirements under Requirements. Or combine.
Better to follow typical pattern: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits.
Thus:
- About the role: organization description + role summary.
- Responsibilities: bullet list.
- Qualifications: Education and Experience + maybe Supervisory Responsibilities (none) + FLSA status? We'll include Education and Experience.
- Skills: Required Skills and Abilities.
- Benefits: list.
We must not include empty sections.
Now we need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract.
Organization description:

Now Supervisory Responsibilities: "This position has no supervisory responsibilities." We can note but not required as a section; we could include under Qualifications maybe as a note. But we can drop as it's not substantive? It's substantive but we could include in Qualifications as a note. However we might ignore because it's a statement of no supervisory responsibilities; maybe we can include under Qualifications as a brief note. But we can also drop as it's not a requirement. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that statement. Where to put? Could be under Qualifications as a note. Or we could add a separate section "Supervisory Responsibilities" but not in allowed headings. Might be okay to include under Qualifications as a note.
