We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to extract substantive content: The posting includes: - Title: Deputy General Counsel I Agency 807 HEALTH CARE AUTHORITY (but we ignore title as heading) - Supervisory Organization Legal (maybe minor metadata) - Job Posting End Date (Refer to date listed at top) – we can drop as minor metadata. - Note about applications accepted until 11:59 PM day prior – we drop as application instructions. - Estimated Appointment End Date (Continuous if Blank) – drop. - Full/Part-Time Full time – maybe schedule? Actually schedule is separate: Work Schedule: Monday – Friday Primary Hours: 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. So we have schedule info. - Job Type Regular – maybe not needed. - Compensation $78,465/ year – Pay info. - Why You’ll Love Working Here – about the role? Could be "About the role" or "About the organization". We'll treat as "About the role" maybe. - Let’s Talk Benefits – list of benefits. - Job Description – includes location, salary (duplicate), work schedule, agency/division info, position purpose, essential functions (list), knowledge, skills, abilities and competency requirements, education and/or experience, preference qualifications, physical demands and work environment, accommodation statement (EEO boilerplate – drop), notice to applicants (application instructions – drop), equal opportunity employment (EEO – drop), etc. We need to keep substantive info: location, salary, work schedule, agency/division info, position purpose, essential functions (list), knowledge/skills/abilities/competency requirements (list), education/experience (list), preference qualifications (list), physical demands and work environment (maybe as prose), maybe also "Why You’ll Love Working Here" as about the role. We need to decide sections: Possibly: - About the role (or About the organization) – includes "Why You’ll Love Working Here" and agency/division info and position purpose? Might be too much. But we can separate: About the role (why you'll love working here), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (knowledge, skills, abilities, education/experience, preference qualifications), Benefits (benefits list), Pay (compensation), Schedule (work schedule). Also maybe Location as part of About the role? Could include location in a paragraph. We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each section has real content. Let's extract content: Why You’ll Love Working Here: "At the Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA), your work matters. Every day, our team helps ensure Oklahomans have access to better health and better care. Guided by our core values, Passion for Purpose, Trust & Transparency, Empowerment & Accountability, Best-in-Class, Outcome-Driven, and Servant Leadership, we foster a workplace where people feel supported, respected, and empowered to make an impact.

Potential sections: - About the role (Why You’ll Love Working Here + Agency/Division Information + Position Purpose) maybe combine. But we must not create thin sections. Could have:

    About the role

    with paragraphs covering why you'll love working here, agency info, position purpose.

    Responsibilities

    with
      of essential functions.

      Requirements

        Benefits

          with

          salary.

          Schedule

          with

          work schedule and location maybe. We must not include sections with filler. All have content. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation statement (though accommodation statement is not EEO but it's about accommodation; it's somewhat boilerplate but maybe we keep? It's about accommodation request; it's not EEO but still maybe considered boilerplate. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Accommodation statement is legal but maybe considered boilerplate; but it's about accommodation request, could be considered legal. Safer to drop it. Notice to applicants (application instructions) drop. Equal Opportunity Employment drop. Current State of Oklahoma employees internal apply drop. Also drop "Note: Applications will be accepted until 11:59 PM on the day prior to the posting end date above." (application instructions). Also drop "Estimated Appointment End Date (Continuous if Blank)" etc. Also drop "Supervisory Organization Legal" maybe minor metadata; we could fold into a short

          but maybe drop as minor. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; we can drop minor metadata like supervisory organization, job posting end date, etc. Now craft HTML. We'll produce:
