for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). However the instruction says: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests we should map content to those generic headings? Or we can use the actual headings from posting? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It seems they want us to use those as possible headings, but we can also use other headings if they match content? The examples are generic; but we should likely use those headings where appropriate. However the posting has sections like "Job Description", "Essential Job Functions", "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities", "Physical Abilities", "Work Schedule & Conditions", "Required Qualifications", "Preferred Qualifications", "Salary", "Benefits Marketing Statement". We could map:
- About the role: maybe combine "Commitment to Mission", "Cultural Beliefs", "Campus Marketing Statement", "Job Description PURPOSE AND SCOPE". But we need to preserve all substantive info; we could create sections: About the role (mission, cultural beliefs, campus statement, purpose and scope). Responsibilities (Essential Job Functions). Requirements (Required Qualifications). Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). Skills (Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities). Benefits (Benefits Marketing Statement). Pay (Salary). Schedule (Work Schedule & Conditions). Physical Abilities could be part of Schedule or separate? Could be part of Schedule? Might be separate but we could include under Schedule or as its own section? The instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content. Physical Abilities is present; we could include under Schedule or as its own section maybe "Work Schedule & Conditions" includes physical abilities? Actually Physical Abilities is separate. Could be part of Schedule? Not exactly. Could be its own section but we don't have a generic heading for physical abilities; we could still use Physical Abilities
as it's a heading from posting. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings; it's just examples. So we can use the actual headings from posting as . That seems simpler and preserves info.
Thus we will output sections for each meaningful heading, excluding boilerplate and application instructions.
We need to remove: "Commitment to Mission" maybe keep as part of About the role? It's substantive. We'll keep it.
We need to remove duplicated lines: there may be duplicates like "Lone Star College offers high-quality, low-cost academic transfer..." appears maybe twice? We'll keep once.
We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we will omit "Special Instructions", "How To Apply", EEO statements, E-Verify, criminal background check, etc.
We also need to omit "Marketing Statement" maybe keep as part of About the role? The "Campus Marketing Statement" is substantive about college; we can keep.
We need to preserve all substantive info: mission commitment, cultural beliefs, campus marketing statement, job description purpose and scope, essential job functions (list), knowledge skills abilities, physical abilities, work schedule & conditions, required qualifications, preferred qualifications, salary, benefits marketing statement.

That seems messy; there is missing spaces. We'll preserve as is but maybe we need to keep the text exactly? It's weird: "One LSC Student Focused Own ItFoster BelongingCultivate Community Choose Learning". Probably they meant bullet points: One LSC, Student Focused, Own It, Foster Belonging, Cultivate Community, Choose Learning. We'll keep as is but maybe we can format as list?
