We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "THE POSITION" and "DESCRIPTION OF WORK". We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions, interview process details? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should omit "How to Apply", "Interview Process", "Examination Information", etc. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Keep substantive content: description of work, duties list, work schedule, uniforms, union membership, salary, retirement, benefits package, qualifications (other requirements, legal requirements). Also maybe "About the role" could be the initial paragraph. Let's parse. The posting: THE POSITION Join the Department of Corrections as a Corrections Officer Trainee and begin a career that makes a real difference. This role offers hands-on training and steady support as you learn how to maintain safety and order within a state correctional facility. You will build strong skills, gain confidence, and help support the well-being of inmates and staff. If you have a strong dedication to public service and want to help keep the public safe, we encourage you to submit an application for the State Correctional Institution (SCI) at Smithfield. DESCRIPTION OF WORK This position provides training and guided experience in the custody, supervision, and support of inmates in a state correctional facility.

Then "INTERVIEW PROCESS:" etc. Then "Required Experience, Training & Eligibility". Then "QUALIFICATIONS". Then "Other Requirements: PA residency requirement is currently waived for this title. Successful completion of basic training in Elizabethtown, PA is required. You must be able to perform essential job functions." Then "Legal Requirements: You must pass a background investigation and meet Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) compliance requirements. Candidates must successfully complete a medical examination, psychological evaluation, and urinalysis screening for drugs." Then "How to Apply:" etc. Then "Veterans:" etc. Then "Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS):" etc. Then EEO statement. Then "EXAMINATION INFORMATION" etc. We need to remove application instructions, interview process, examination information, EEO, etc. Also remove "Benefits Information" maybe duplicate. We need to keep substantive info: The position description, duties, work schedule, telework, uniforms, union membership, salary, retirement, benefits package, qualifications (other requirements, legal requirements). Also maybe "About the role" could be the initial paragraph under THE POSITION. We need to decide sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (duties list), Requirements (maybe combine other requirements and legal requirements), Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for About the role (intro). Responsibilities (duties). Requirements (other requirements + legal). Qualifications maybe overlapping; but we could treat Requirements as the eligibility criteria, and Qualifications maybe not needed if no separate content. However we have "Other Requirements" and "Legal Requirements". Could put those under Requirements. Qualifications maybe not needed. Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe we could infer from duties but we shouldn't invent. So skip Skills. Benefits: We have benefits package description. Also retirement maybe part of benefits but we have separate Retirement line. Could include Benefits section covering health, vision, dental, wellness, retirement. Or we could have Benefits and Pay and Schedule separate. Pay: Salary and shift differential. Schedule: Work schedule details (full-time, 40-hour week, shifts, overtime, weekends, holidays, adverse weather). Also telework note. Thus we can create sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay, Schedule, Benefits. We must not include headings with filler like "not specified". All sections have content. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

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

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each duty as list item, each requirement as list item, each benefit as list item, etc. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading like "Corrections Officer Trainee". Good. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal statements, interview process, examination information, how to apply, veterans, TRS, etc. We must also remove duplicated lines: maybe "Benefits Package: Comprehensive benefits package, including health coverage, vision, dental, and wellness programs" appears also earlier? It appears once. Also "Benefits Information" heading maybe not needed. We need to ensure we include all substantive info from the posting that is not removed. Let's extract substantive content: Intro paragraph (THE POSITION): "Join the Department of Corrections as a Corrections Officer Trainee and begin a career that makes a real difference. This role offers hands-on training and steady support as you learn how to maintain safety and order within a state correctional facility. You will build strong skills, gain confidence, and help support the well-being of inmates and staff. If you have a strong dedication to public service and want to help keep the public safe, we encourage you to submit an application for the State Correctional Institution (SCI) at Smithfield." But note: "we encourage you to submit an application" is application instruction? Might be considered boilerplate? It's encouraging to apply, but it's part of the position description. The instruction says remove application instructions. This line is more of a call to apply; could be considered application instruction. Safer to remove? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The phrase "we encourage you to submit an application" is an application instruction. So we should remove that sentence. Keep the rest: "Join the Department of Corrections as a Corrections Officer Trainee and begin a career that makes a real difference. This role offers hands-on training and steady support as you learn how to maintain safety and order within a state correctional facility. You will build strong skills, gain confidence, and help support the well-being of inmates and staff. If you have a strong dedication to public service and want to help keep the public safe," maybe we keep up to that? Actually the sentence continues: "we encourage you to submit an application for the State Correctional Institution (SCI) at Smithfield." That's the application instruction. So we can cut off before that. So we keep: "Join the Department of Corrections as a Corrections Officer Trainee and begin a career that makes a real difference. This role offers hands-on training and steady support as you learn how to maintain safety and order within a state correctional facility. You will build strong skills, gain confidence, and help support the well-being of inmates and staff. If you have a strong dedication to public service and want to help keep the public safe," That seems incomplete. Better to keep the first two sentences and maybe the dedication sentence without the application encouragement. Could rephrase? But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We cannot change meaning. We could keep the sentence up to "public safe," but that's incomplete. Better to keep the first two sentences and then maybe a separate sentence about dedication? Actually original: "If you have a strong dedication to public service and want to help keep the public safe, we encourage you to submit an application for the State Correctional Institution (SCI) at Smithfield." So we could keep the conditional clause as a statement about dedication, but remove the encouragement to apply. So we could keep: "If you have a strong dedication to public service and want to help keep the public safe," but that's a fragment. Might be awkward. Perhaps we keep the whole sentence but it's considered application instruction? The instruction says remove application instructions, not necessarily remove sentences that contain application encouragement. Might be safer to keep the sentence but remove the encouragement phrase? Hard. Given the instruction, I'd remove the entire sentence that encourages application. So we keep: "Join the Department of Corrections as a Corrections Officer Trainee and begin a career that makes a real difference. This role offers hands-on training and steady support as you learn how to maintain safety and order within a state correctional facility. You will build strong skills, gain confidence, and help support the well-being of inmates and staff. If you have a strong dedication to public service and want to help keep the public safe," That's still incomplete. Maybe we can keep the dedication clause as a statement: "If you have a strong dedication to public service and want to help keep the public safe," but it's not a complete thought. Could we keep the sentence but remove the encouragement phrase? The sentence is: "If you have a strong dedication to public service and want to help keep the public safe, we encourage you to submit an application for the State Correctional Institution (SCI) at Smithfield." If we remove "we encourage you to submit an application for the State Correctional Institution (SCI) at Smithfield," we get: "If you have a strong dedication to public service and want to help keep the public safe, " which is a dependent clause lacking main clause. Not good. Thus maybe better to keep the first two sentences only, and drop the dedication sentence entirely. That loses some content about dedication to public service. But maybe that's considered fluff? It's substantive? It's about motivation. Could be considered part of the role description. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information. So we should keep it if possible. But we cannot keep it without the application encouragement because it's incomplete. Could we keep the whole sentence and consider it not an application instruction? The phrase "we encourage you to submit an application" is definitely an application instruction. But maybe the instruction only refers to explicit instructions like "How to Apply", "Submit your resume", etc. The
