Actually we need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. The headings allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we can also use other headings? The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests we should use those headings when appropriate. We can also maybe use other headings if they match content? Probably we should map content to those headings. For example, Benefits section: we have benefits details. Pay: we have salary range. Schedule: not present. About the role: maybe "The Position". Responsibilities: maybe part of The Position. Requirements/Qualifications: we have Typical Qualifications and Desirable Qualifications. Skills: maybe part of Ideal Candidate. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Also we should not include metadata like AGENCY/DEPARTMENT etc unless we fold into short p. We need to preserve all substantive information. Remove boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract substantive content: - Benefits: list as described. - Pay: salary range $229,553 to $337,476 annually, DOQ. Also general salary increase details, educational incentive, etc? Those are benefits but could be under Pay? Probably Pay section just salary range.
