We need to decide which sections to map. We have Salary info: "(P22) $69,668.20 – $101,950.90". Work Week: "Division-Wide Work Week: NE (35-hour)". That's schedule info. Benefits: listed.

We'll create sections: About the role (Scope of Eligibility + Description), Responsibilities (Specific to the Position), Requirements (Education, Experience, License), Skills (Preferred Skill Set), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like Opening/Closing dates? Those are metadata; we could fold into a short p or drop. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." Opening/Closing dates are minor metadata; we can include in a short p maybe under About the role? Or just drop. Probably better to include a short p with Opening and Closing dates. But we must preserve ALL substantive information; opening/closing dates are substantive? Might be considered metadata but still info. We'll include a short p. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual salary and schedule. We must not include duplicated lines. We'll need to parse the posting and extract relevant content.
