We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. Let's parse posting. Job title: Direct Support Professional Senior (Intermittent/On-Call). Not to repeat as heading. We need to extract content. First, about the role: The posting includes paragraphs: "The work you'll do is more than just a job..." repeated. Also description of DCT, etc. So we can create About the role section with prose. Responsibilities: bullet list of duties: "Assisting in assessing individual's needs by performing direct care duties", "Developing and implementing residential and habilitation support plans with goals and methods.", "Evaluating and documenting out-comes, maintaining or modifying the plans and performing related work as required.", "Respond therapeutically using de-escalation strategies and positive behavior supports to individuals with challenging behaviors". Also "Travel Required: Yes (50% Transport and accompany individuals to medical appointments, community outings, recreational activities, and spiritual events)". Also shift details: "Shifts Available: Day, rotating (day/evening combination) OR overnight. We also offer shift differential for hours between 6:00 pm and 6:00 am!" That could be schedule or responsibilities. We'll treat shift details under Schedule. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications list: Experience working with individuals with intellectual disabilities, mental illness, and/or co-occurring diagnosis. Experience with verbal de-escalation strategies and working with individuals who exhibit aggressive behaviors. Clear communication skills to understand and communicate complex services with community members, employers and teams. Must be at least 18 years of age. Basic math and computer skills. Must possess and maintain a valid Driver's License. Must be able to perform all physical/essential requirements with or without reasonable accommodation(s). Also "REFERENCE/BACKGROUND CHECKS – Direct Care and Treatment will conduct reference checks to verify job-related credentials and criminal background check prior to appointment." That's a requirement. Preferred Qualifications: list: Experience working effectively with others from different backgrounds and cultures. Experience collecting and summarizing data to document program delivery by observation, charting and measuring. Formal training/certification/education in related field (CNA, PCA, Child Development, First Aide, CPR, etc.) Certified Nursing Assistant experience working in a group home, nursing home, assisted living or similar setting. Skills: maybe combine some? Could list communication, de-escalation, etc. But we can put under Requirements and Preferred Qualifications. The instruction says use sections like Skills if present. We have not explicit Skills heading but we could infer skills from qualifications. Might be better to have Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). Or combine. Benefits: The posting includes a Benefits section with list: Paid vacation and sick leave, 12 paid holidays each year, Low-cost medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug plans, Fertility care, including IVF, Diabetes care, Dental and orthodontic care for adults and children, 6 weeks paid leave for parents of newborn or newly adopted children, Pension plan that provides income when you retire (after working at least three years), Employer paid life insurance, Short-term and long-term disability insurance, Tax-free expense accounts for health, dental, and dependent care, Resources that provide support and promote physical, emotional, social, and financial well-being, Support To Help You Reach Your Career Goals: Training, classes, and professional development, Federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, Employee Assistance Program (EAP), Daily Living/Convenience Services: Chore services, home repair, trip planning, child/elder care. Also note that programs vary. Pay: Salary Range: $24.54 - $31.43 / hourly. Schedule: Work Shift/Work Hours: Days/Evenings/Overnights/Rotating Shift (ex: 7:00a.m. – 3:30 p.m.; 3:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m.; hours may vary depending on the needs of the program). Days of Work: Varies; may include weekends and holidays. Travel Required: Yes (50% Transport...). Also shift differential for hours between 6:00 pm and 6:00 am. So schedule section. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft sections:

About the role

... prose ...

We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent. So we need to include the description about work, DCT, etc. Let's extract relevant prose: "The work you'll do is more than just a job. At the State of Minnesota, employees play a critical role in developing policies, providing essential services, and working to improve the well-being and quality of life for all Minnesotans. The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, and invests in employees by providing benefits, support resources, and training and development opportunities. The work you'll do is more than just a job. Direct Care and Treatment (DCT) is unable to provide sponsorship for work visas. Applicants must be eligible to work in the United States at the start of employment. DCT does not participate in E-Verify. This posting may be used to fill multiple permanent intermittent (on-call) Direct Care positions within DCT Community Based Services sites in Brainerd, MN." We could combine but avoid duplication. The phrase "The work you'll do is more than just a job." appears twice; we can keep once. Also mention "Shifts Available: Day, rotating (day/evening combination) OR overnight. We also offer shift differential for hours between 6:00 pm and 6:00 am!" That's schedule. Responsibilities: bullet list. Requirements (minimum): bullet list. Preferred Qualifications: bullet list. Skills: maybe not separate; we could combine some skills under Requirements. But we could create Skills section listing: Clear communication skills, Verbal de-escalation strategies, Basic math and computer skills, etc. However those are already in requirements. To avoid duplication, maybe we don't create Skills section unless we have distinct skills not covered. The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests we can use Qualifications for preferred qualifications. So we can have Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). Skills maybe not needed. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Check each for real content. About the role: we have prose. Responsibilities: we have bullet list. Requirements: minimum qualifications list. Qualifications: preferred qualifications list. Benefits: list. Pay: salary range. Schedule: shift details, days of work, travel required, shift differential. Now we need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include Job ID etc. So we drop those. Now craft HTML. We'll need to escape any special characters? Not needed. Let's write.
