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 that have real specific content. The posting includes: Work Schedule Standard (Mon-Fri) Environmental Conditions Office (that's schedule and environment). Also includes mission description, impact, responsibilities (What You Will Do), qualifications (How You Will Get Here includes Education, Experience, Key Capabilities). There's no explicit Benefits, Pay. So we should not create those sections. Also we should not repeat job title. We need to include sections: About the role (maybe the mission paragraph?), Responsibilities (What You Will Do), Requirements (Education, Experience, Key Capabilities). Possibly also Skills (Key Capabilities could be Skills). But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can combine Qualifications and Requirements? The instruction: use those headings for section headings. We should include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can have About the role (mission paragraph), Responsibilities (What You Will Do), Requirements (Education, Experience), Skills (Key Capabilities). Possibly also Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements). But we should avoid duplication. Could treat Requirements as Education+Experience, Qualifications as Key Capabilities? But they'd be similar. Better to have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (Education+Experience), Skills (Key Capabilities). Also include Schedule (Work Schedule Standard Mon-Fri, Environmental Conditions Office). That's schedule and environment. So include Schedule section.
We must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the mission paragraph, the impact paragraph, the responsibilities bullet points (but they are in prose with line breaks). We need to convert list of duties into
