CRA Mortgage Banker (Bilingual English/Spanish)
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only if posting has real specific content. We need to extract content.
The posting includes many responsibilities. Likely we can have sections: About the role (maybe a brief description), Responsibilities (list), Qualifications (list), Skills (list), Benefits (list), Pay (maybe include salary range), Schedule (maybe not present). The posting does not mention schedule specifics (like full-time, part-time). It mentions part-time roles pro-rated but not schedule. So we should not create Schedule section if no specific schedule info.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions, navigation, cookie, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to format using headings, - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide what goes where.
First, "About the role": Could be a short paragraph summarizing the role: "Cultivates, builds, and manages relationships with a referral network to build a pipeline of new mortgage business and increase BMO’s share of the home financing market." That's a responsibility but could be overview. We'll put a paragraph.
Responsibilities: list all duty sentences. Many sentences start with verbs. We'll extract each distinct responsibility.
Qualifications: list qualifications: "Typically between 3 - 5 years of relevant experience and post-secondary degree in related field of study or an equivalent combination of education and experience." Also "If a Credit Qualifiable job, Credit Qualifications and associated credit knowledge and skills according to the credit portfolio requirements and qualification standards." Also "In-depth understanding of the mortgage lending process and applicable regulatory requirements." Also "Strong interpersonal, sales, customer service, and negotiation skills." Also "Expert knowledge of self-management and teamwork, personal lending, relationship sales and management." Also "Functional knowledge of personal banking, investments, trust services, business and commercial lending, and cash management." Also "Strong knowledge of the broader real estate industry and mortgage market." Also "Specialized knowledge from education and/or business experience." Also "Verbal & written communication skills - In-depth." Also "Collaboration & team skills - In-depth." Also "Analytical and problem solving skills - In-depth." Also "Influence skills - In-depth." Also "U.S. Only: This position will act as an originator of consumer loans as defined by Regulation Z, Regulation G, and the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act (the S.A.F.E. Act). This position will require a Federal registration with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry. The Bank will instruct you on the registration requirements needed to comply with this requirement. A criminal background review and credit history evaluation will be required for this position as well as restrictions on performing in a real estate agent capacity." That's more qualifications/requirements.
We could put those under Qualifications.
Skills: maybe separate from Qualifications? The posting lumps many skill descriptors. Could put them under Skills.
But we need to avoid duplication. We can put Qualifications as education/experience, and Skills as skill list.
Benefits: posting mentions "BMO also offers health insurance, tuition reimbursement, accident and life insurance, and retirement savings plans." Also earlier: "BMO Financial Group’s total compensation package will vary based on the pay type of the position and may include performance-based incentives, discretionary bonuses, as well as other perks and rewards." So we can list benefits.
Pay: Salary range: "$42,000.00 - $80,000.00 Pay Type: Salaried & Commission". Also description about salary variation. We'll include Pay section.
Schedule: Not specific; we should omit.
Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove "About Us" section? The posting includes "About Us At BMO we are driven..." That's boilerplate? It's about the company, maybe we should keep? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About Us" might be considered boilerplate but it's not EEO. It's descriptive about the company; could be considered part of posting but maybe not needed. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "About Us" is substantive? It's generic corporate description; could be considered boilerplate but not explicitly listed. Safer to keep? However they said remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Not about us. I'd keep it maybe as a short paragraph under About the role? But we already have About the role. Could incorporate.
But we need to avoid duplication. Let's extract core responsibilities and qualifications.
Let's draft HTML:

But note we duplicated some skill items already in Qualifications. Might be redundant. Better to keep Qualifications as education/experience and maybe regulatory, and Skills as the skill list. However the Qualifications list already includes many skill items. To avoid duplication, we could move skill items to Skills and keep Qualifications focused on experience/education/regulatory. Let's restructure:
Qualifications:
