We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? The posting includes a description: "Job Purpose ...". Could map to "About the role". Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills & Abilities, Benefits, Pay (salary given), Schedule? Not given. Also location, job type, etc maybe as metadata paragraph. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We can include a short p for metadata: location, job type, job number, department, opening/closing dates. We must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The text includes many sections like "Reasonable Accommodations Statement", "Physical Demands", "WORK ENVIRONMENT", etc. Those are substantive and should be kept. They could be under Qualifications? Actually they are separate sections: Physical Demands, Work Environment. Should we create sections for them? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we can create sections for Physical Demands and Work Environment. Use h3 headings: maybe "Physical Demands", "Work Environment". Also "Benefits" we have details. "Pay" we have salary. "Schedule" not given, so omit. We need to use

    Responsibilities

    • ... each responsibility as separate li.

    Qualifications

    maybe split into Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could have two subsections? But we can just list all qualifications as li, maybe separate headings? The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could keep Qualifications as one section with both minimum and preferred. But we need to preserve detail; we can include both.
