We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Overview, What You’ll Do, What You’ll Be Doing (subsections), Who You Are (qualifications), KEYS TO SUCCESS (competencies), What Else You Should Know (benefits, hybrid schedule, physical effort, etc). Also Salary Range given. So we need sections: About the role (maybe Overview), Responsibilities (What You’ll Do + What You’ll Be Doing), Requirements/Qualifications (Who You Are), Skills (maybe KEYS TO SUCCESS?), Benefits (Benefits + hybrid schedule + physical effort?), Pay (Salary Range), Schedule (hybrid schedule? maybe separate). But we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". We have salary range specific, so Pay section. Schedule: hybrid schedule mentioned, so we can include Schedule section. Benefits: listed. So include Benefits section.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for section headings.
We need to use
for section headings.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, application instructions (upload resume etc), background check, verification, etc. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal etc. Also remove "Hunger Free Oklahoma is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "In order to be considered for this position, you must upload a resume and cover letter..." etc. Also remove "Employment Requirements: All employment offers are contingent upon..." etc. Also remove "For more information about Hunger Free Oklahoma, and to apply, visit ..." etc.
We need to keep substantive info: Overview, responsibilities, qualifications, keys to success, benefits, hybrid schedule, physical effort, salary range.
We need to avoid duplication: The posting repeats some content (What You’ll Do and What You’ll Be Doing). We'll combine.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "not specified". All sections we include have content.
Let's craft:
About the role
Overview paragraph.
Responsibilities
- ... list items from responsibilities.
We need to break responsibilities into bullet points. The posting has many sentences; we can create bullet list summarizing each duty but must preserve all substantive information, not summarize away detail. However we can keep each sentence as a bullet point; that's okay.
We need to avoid losing detail. So we can convert each distinct responsibility into a bullet.
Let's extract responsibilities from "What You’ll Do" and "What You’ll Be Doing". They overlap; we can combine.
