We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro paragraph about Bridgewell mission etc. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About Bridgewell". The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can create sections: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities (Essential Duties And Responsibilities), Requirements (Required Education/Experience), Skills (Required Skills/Knowledge), Benefits (Bridgewell Offers...), Pay (The pay range listed...), Schedule (Schedule: Monday - Friday...). Also maybe Qualifications? Could combine Requirements and Qualifications but we have both. The posting has "Required Education/Experience" and "Required Skills/Knowledge". Also "Physical Demands". Could be part of Requirements or Qualifications. We'll decide. We need to avoid filler sections like "Pay" if not specific. The posting includes: "The pay range listed for this position is the hourly rate range the organization reasonably and in good faith expects to pay for this position at this time. Actual compensation is determined based on several factors..." No actual numbers given. That's vague, not a specific range. According to instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). So we should NOT include Pay section because it's not specific. So omit Pay. Schedule: they gave specific schedule: Monday - Friday 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM, Thursday 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM (18 hours). That's specific. So include Schedule. Benefits: they list health benefits, paid time off, collaborative environment, training opportunities, additional compensation for on-call rotations, professional development. That's specific enough. So include Benefits. About the role: we have mission and summary. Could be "About the role" or "Summary". We'll use About the role. Responsibilities: Essential Duties And Responsibilities. Requirements: Required Education/Experience. Skills: Required Skills/Knowledge. Qualifications: maybe combine with Requirements? But we have both Education/Experience and Skills/Knowledge separate. Could treat Skills as Qualifications? But instruction list includes Qualifications as a possible heading. We could have Qualifications (maybe combine Education/Experience and Skills). However we already have Skills heading. To avoid duplication, we could have Requirements (Education/Experience) and Qualifications (Skills/Knowledge). But they said use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications and Skills. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see content: - Required Education/Experience: specific. - Required Skills/Knowledge: specific. - Physical Demands: also specific but could be part of Requirements or Qualifications. Could be its own section but not in list; we could incorporate into Requirements or Qualifications. We could make:

About the role

(mission + summary)

Responsibilities

(list)

Requirements

(Education/Experience)

Qualifications

(Skills/Knowledge + Physical Demands)

Benefits

Schedule

That seems reasonable. We must not include filler like "Reasonable accommodation may be made..." that's boilerplate; but it's part of Requirements? It's a statement about accommodation. Might be considered boilerplate but it's part of the posting. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The accommodation statement is not exactly EEO but could be considered legal. However it's about reasonable accommodation for disability; could be considered EEO. Might be safer to remove it. But it's also in the Required Skills/Knowledge section? Actually appears after Physical Demands and also later in "Why Should You Apply". We'll remove generic accommodation statements. Also remove "Requires acceptable CORI results according to Bridgewell policy." That's maybe legal/background check; could be considered boilerplate but it's a requirement. Might be considered part of Requirements. However it's a specific requirement (CORI). The instruction says remove legal/EEO boilerplate. CORI is a background check requirement; might be considered legal. But it's a substantive requirement. Not sure. I'd keep it as part of Requirements because it's a specific condition. But to be safe, maybe keep it. Also remove "Bridgewell is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal-opportunity employer..." That's EEO boilerplate; remove. Also remove "The pay range listed for this position is the hourly rate range..." we already omitted Pay section. Also remove "Why Should You Apply:" section (it's promotional). Could be considered boilerplate; but it contains info about benefits and environment. However we already have Benefits section; we could incorporate some of that into Benefits. But the "Why Should You Apply" includes: "If the top benefits alone don't sway you, our compassionate and collaborative work environment should! Bridgewell is committed to training and developing staff and provides opportunities for you to have a positive impact on the work you do." That's somewhat fluff; we could incorporate into Benefits or About the role. But we already have Benefits covering health benefits, PTO, collaborative environment, training, on-call compensation, professional development. So we can skip that. Also remove "All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to..." EEO boilerplate; remove. Now we need to format lists: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Let's extract each section content.

Physical Demands: - The physical demands of employees working in residential programs assisting people with their care needs are varied and require the employee to be able to maneuver people of varying weights, and provide lifting, balanced support and physical intervention in a few scenarios. - Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable a person with a disability to perform the essential functions; however, approval will be based on the needs of the people served and consideration of safety factors related to any program or position within a program.

However it's a generic statement about accommodation; could be considered boilerplate. I'd remove it to be safe. Thus Physical Demands list: - Climb stairs - Physically assist people served, often weighing more than 200 pounds, with movement, bathroom routines including toileting, assisting with entry and exit of a tub or shower, getting into and out of wheelchairs or
