We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. Must not repeat job title. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to extract content from posting. We have company description, job description, position summary, etc. Need to decide sections. We have "Company Description About AbbVie" - could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is typical heading for role summary. We have Position Summary paragraph. So we can put that under

About the role

with

. Responsibilities: there is a "Key Responsibilities" section with sub-bullets. We'll extract bullet points. Requirements: maybe "Qualifications" section includes education, experience, etc. Could be separate "Qualifications". The instruction says use headings for Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map. We have "Qualifications" heading in posting: includes Bachelor’s degree, advanced degree preferred, 12+ to 15+ years experience, demonstrated technical capability, etc. Also "Technical Competencies" and "Leadership Competencies". Those could be under Skills. We have "Additional Information" truncated; ignore. No explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule mentioned. So we should NOT create those sections. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. We need to remove boilerplate: company description maybe considered boilerplate? It's about AbbVie mission etc. Might be considered company description, not required? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Company description is not explicitly excluded, but could be considered part of job posting. However we might keep it under About the role? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information". Company description is substantive about company. Could be placed under About the role? But About the role is for role summary. Maybe we create a section "About AbbVie"? Not allowed headings list only those specific headings. So we cannot create custom heading. We could incorporate company description into About the role paragraph? Might be okay to include as part of About the role. But About the role heading expects role summary; we could include both company description and position summary. However that may mix. But we must not invent headings. So we can put company description under About the role as a paragraph before position summary. Alternatively we could omit company description if considered boilerplate? It's not legal/EEO. It's descriptive. I'd keep it. Now extract responsibilities bullet points. From "Key Responsibilities" there are several bullet-like paragraphs each starting with a bold heading? Actually they are sections: Strategic Investments Engineering Governance and Standards, Strategic Capital Investment Support, Technical Leadership and Delivery, Cross-Functional Integration, Capability Building and Continuous Improvement, Strategic Investments Engineering Leadership Expectations, Stakeholder Interfaces. We need to turn each into

  • . The content after each heading is sentences. We'll preserve. We'll need to strip the heading bold? We'll just keep the text. Let's extract each: 1.
