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 need to parse the job posting. Key info: - Title: Director of Music (but we should not repeat as heading) - Job ID, posted date, expires, category, terms, full-time employee, experience 0-2 years, education undergraduate degree, base pay salary (but not specific amount). It says "Base Pay Salary" but no amount. According to rules: do NOT create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. "Base Pay Salary" is vague, not a specific amount. Likely we should not create Pay section because no specific pay figure. Also schedule not given. Benefits not given. - Responsibilities: many bullet points under I. Major Position Responsibilities (Liturgy, Technology) and II. Other tasks. - Requirements: Bachelor's Degree in music, liturgy, or performance preferred. Previous Experience In Accompanying Catholic Liturgy Preferred. Demonstrated proficiency in piano performance. Ability to play the organ is a plus. Demonstrated vocal proficiency in liturgical music Ability to direct and accompany choirs, cantors, instrumentalists, and the congregation. Familiarity with the Catholic liturgy, liturgical seasons, etc. Broad knowledge of standard Catholic liturgical repertoire (e.g., Gather Hymnal) and contemporary (post-1998) Catholic liturgical music (e.g., Spirit and Song), as well as evangelical resources. - Also ADA Physical Requirements (maybe under Requirements or Qualifications). Could be considered Qualifications. - There's also "Experience 0-2 Years" and "Education Undergraduate Degree". Could be part of Requirements. - There's "Send applications or inquiries to: karen.tenfel@stleonards.org" repeated; we should drop application instructions. - Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also "Similar Job Listings" etc. Thus we need sections: Responsibilities (maybe split into Liturgy and Technology? But we can combine under Responsibilities). Requirements/Qualifications (maybe combine). Could also have "About the role" (a brief description). The posting includes a paragraph: "The Director of Music is a professional minister who plans, accompanies, and directs the liturgical music which forms an essential component of the parish's worship." That's about the role. Also "About The Employer" section: "Growing as Catholics in the Image of Jesus Christ through Worship, Formation and Community." That's about employer, maybe we could include as "About the Employer" but not in allowed headings list; allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we could put the employer description under About the role? Or maybe we can create a section "About the role" that includes the description of the role and maybe employer description. But we must not invent headings not in list. So we can use About the role for the role description. We also have "Skills" maybe we can extract from responsibilities/requirements: piano proficiency, organ ability, vocal proficiency, directing choirs, familiarity with liturgy, knowledge of repertoire, technology ministry (slides, live-stream), etc. Could create Skills section. But we need to avoid thin sections. Prefer few substantive sections. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section (maybe Requirements). Could also combine Skills into Requirements if appropriate. But we need to follow instruction: use headings for those categories if content exists. We can decide to have: - About the role (h3) - Responsibilities (h3) with ul li - Requirements (h3) with ul li (including education, experience, physical requirements) - Skills (h3) with ul li (maybe derived from responsibilities/requirements) We must not repeat content; but we can split. But we must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from posting. If we split, we must ensure we don't lose any detail. Let's extract all substantive content: From job description: - Position Title: Director of Music (not heading) - Status: Full Time, Exempt - Reports to: Pastor - The Director of Music is a professional minister who plans, accompanies, and directs the liturgical music which forms an essential component of the parish's worship.

Employment Disclaimer (boilerplate) - remove. Send applications or inquiries: remove. About The Employer - Growing as Catholics in the Image of Jesus Christ through Worship, Formation and Community. Also metadata: Job ID#, posted date, expires, category, terms, full-time employee, experience 0-2 years, education undergraduate degree, base pay salary (no amount). We should incorporate minor metadata into a short

or drop it. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph at top with metadata like "Posted September 21, 2026 – Expires November 20, 2026. Full‑time position. Experience 0‑2 years. Undergraduate degree required." But we must not repeat job title as heading. Also we should not include Job ID. So we can create a

with that metadata. We must not include Pay/Benefits/Schedule sections because no specific content. Thus final HTML:

Posted September 21, 2026 – Expires November 20, 2026. Full‑time position. Experience 0‑2 years. Undergraduate degree required.
