We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description, summary/objective, essential functions (Animal Food Safety, Process Verification Programs, Regulatory Compliance, Additional Responsibility), Required Education And Experience, Why Work for Pilgrim’s? (Benefits, PTO, 401(k), Base Salary range, Incentive Pay, Career Development, Better Futures), About us, etc. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to map content to these headings appropriately. We should include sections only if posting has real specific content. We have: - About the role: could be Summary/Objective and description. Use

About the role

then

with summary. - Responsibilities: essential functions (Animal Food Safety, Process Verification Programs, Regulatory Compliance, Additional Responsibility). Use

Responsibilities

then
  • each bullet. - Requirements: Required Education And Experience. Use

    Requirements

    then

    or

      . Probably
        . - Qualifications: maybe not separate; but we could combine with Requirements. However we need to follow instruction: Use headings only when posting has real specific content. We have content for Requirements. Could also have Qualifications (education, experience). Might be redundant. Better to have one Requirements section. - Skills: not explicitly listed; maybe not needed. - Benefits: from Why Work for Pilgrim’s? includes Vision, Medical, Dental coverage after 60 days; Paid Time Off; 401(k) match after first year; Career Development; Better Futures (drug/alcohol/background checks). Also Base Salary range and Incentive Pay (Pay). So we need Benefits section (maybe includes medical, PTO, 401k, career development, better futures). Pay section for Base Salary range and Incentive Pay. Schedule section? Not given; only mention full-time, hours determined by needs, travel up to 30 weeks per year. That's schedule-ish but not explicit schedule. Could we create Schedule section? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state full-time, hours determined by needs, travel up to 30 weeks per year. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that info. - Pay: Base Salary range and Incentive Pay. - About us: could be separate but not in prescribed headings list. The instruction says use

        for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use

        for section headings (e.g. ...). Likely we should stick to those headings; but we could also include About us as a heading? Not in list; maybe better to omit or incorporate into About the role. However About us is substantive. Could we treat as About the role? Might be okay to include About us as a separate

        About the company

        but not in list. The instruction: "Use

        for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, not exclusive. But to be safe, we could include About us as a heading; but they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be okay to include About us. But we must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. At end there is EOE, Immigration Reform, Unsolicited Assistance etc. Those are boilerplate; we should drop them. We need to preserve all substantive information.

        About the company

        but not required. Might be okay to include as

        About the company

        with paragraph. But the instruction: "Use

        for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but we might stick to those. About us could be considered "About the role"? Not exactly. Might be okay to omit About us to keep sections thin?
