We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only if content exists. We must extract substantive info from posting. Let's parse: Position Information: includes salary up to $114.44/hourly ($238,850 annually) and competitive total compensation package. So Pay section: we have salary range? It says starting salary up to $114.44/hourly ($238,850/annually). So we can include Pay: Starting salary up to $114.44/hourly ($238,850 annually). Also mention competitive total compensation package. Benefits: list many benefits: Hybrid Telework, Salary Advancement, Paid Time Off, County Paid Health Premium Contributions, Staff Development/Wellness, Annual Professional Development Benefit, Post-Retirement Health Reimbursement Arrangement, Retirement, Paid Parental Leave, Additional Benefits (dental, vision, disability, life insurance, EAP, professional development, more), Student Loan Debt Relief (Public Service Loan Forgiveness). So we can list these. Schedule: Not explicitly given except maybe hybrid telework schedule. No explicit schedule like full-time, part-time. Not given. So we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It mentions Hybrid Telework- A schedule that meets the needs... may be available depending on assignment. That's somewhat schedule info but not explicit. Might be considered schedule? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state Hybrid Telework schedule may be available. That's schedule info. Could include Schedule section with that detail. However we also have Benefits section covering hybrid telework as a benefit. Might be redundant. Better to put hybrid telework under Benefits (as they listed). So we may not need separate Schedule. About the role: description of Deputy District Attorney IV responsibilities. That's Responsibilities? Could be About the role (overview) and Responsibilities (duties). We have both: The Positions (description of role) and then bullet-like paragraphs describing responsibilities. We'll create About the role (overview) and Responsibilities (list of duties). Also Requirements/Qualifications/Skills. We have Ideal Candidates section with many bullet-like items (experience, etc). Those could be Qualifications/Skills. We also have Minimum Qualifications section with experience, special qualifications, professional license, knowledge, skills, abilities. We need to avoid duplication but preserve all substantive info. We can combine. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We must not include application instructions. We must not include duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:

About the role

Qualifications

... maybe combine Ideal Candidates and Minimum Qualifications? But we need sections only when posting has real specific content. We have both Ideal Candidates and Minimum Qualifications. Could combine into Qualifications section with subpoints? But we must not invent headings beyond allowed list. Allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can use Qualifications for minimum qualifications, Skills for ideal candidate skills, Requirements maybe for license etc. But we need to decide. Better: Use Qualifications for minimum qualifications (experience, license). Use Skills for ideal candidate attributes (experience with sensitive victims, law and motion, etc). Use Requirements maybe for professional license etc? But we already used Qualifications for license. Could use Requirements for professional license and driver's license? However the posting says possession of a valid driver's license may be required for certain assignments but positions advertised do not require possession. So maybe not needed. We could skip Requirements if not needed. We have Pay section. We have Benefits section. We have maybe no Schedule. Let's extract content. About the role: The Positions As a Deputy District Attorney IV (DDA IV), you will be responsible for prosecuting the most complex and challenging cases in the office, including felony rape, domestic violence, sexual assault, and all homicide cases. This position requires the ability to work independently and exercise sound discretion in the prosecution and disposition of all manner of serious and violent felonies. In this role, you will demonstrate leadership skills and the ability and willingness to mentor less experienced prosecutors. The DDA IV is a senior position and operates with significant discretion to make independent decisions about most case dispositions and trials. The DDA IV prosecutor exercises this discretion within the rules of professional responsibility and office policy and is responsible for making significant decisions involve filing, disposition, and trial readiness for certain serious and violent felonies. These positions often handle specially assigned cases in addition to their normal duties, including homicides or other “high profile” cases. That's good. Responsibilities: Could list bullet points from that paragraph: prosecuting complex cases, working independently, exercising sound discretion, leadership, mentoring, making independent decisions about case dispositions and trials, handling specially assigned cases (homicides, high profile). We'll create
