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 posting. Key info: - Job title: Certified Infant/Toddler Assistant Teacher (not to be repeated as heading) - Location: Newton, MA (Godine Early Learning) - Full-time 12-month salaried. - $1,000 Sign On Bonus. - Salary determined by qualifications, experience, internal equity (no specific number). So we cannot create Pay section because no specific salary figure. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Benefits are stated (list). So Benefits section can be included. Pay section: not specific salary, so we should not include Pay heading. Schedule: full-time 12-month, salaried. That's schedule info: full-time, 12-month. That's specific enough? It says "This posting is for a full-time 12-month, salaried Certified Assistant Teacher." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that detail. However we need to avoid filler like "not specified". It's specified: full-time 12-month. So include Schedule. - Benefits: list provided. - Responsibilities: many bullet-like sentences. We'll create
  • for duties. - Requirements: Education and Experience, Skills & Abilities, Physical Requirements. Could combine into Requirements section? The instruction: use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have separate headings for Requirements, Skills, Qualifications maybe. But we need to avoid thin sections. We have content for Requirements (education/experience), Skills & Abilities, Physical Requirements. Could combine into Requirements and Skills sections. Qualifications maybe similar to Requirements. We'll decide: Use Requirements heading for education/experience and physical requirements? Or separate Skills heading for skills & abilities. Qualifications maybe not needed if covered. About the role: we have introductory paragraph describing mission, etc. That's suitable for About the role. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from responsibilities, requirements, skills, benefits, schedule. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's extract content. About the role: The first paragraph(s) up to "This role offers you the opportunity to join our mission driven team..." etc. We'll capture a concise but preserve all substantive info. Must not summarize away detail; we need to keep all info but can rephrase? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That suggests we should not omit details, but we can rephrase? Probably we should keep the original sentences but can format as

    . Might be okay to keep them as is. We'll create

    for About the role: combine the introductory sentences. Let's copy the relevant text: "Godine Early Learning in Newton, MA, seeks to hire a passionate and experienced Certified Infant /Toddler Assistant Teacher to become a vital part of our professional team of educators.

Now Responsibilities: list of duties. We'll extract each sentence that starts with a verb or bullet. The posting says "Primary Responsibilities include, and are not limited to:" then a list. We'll convert each line to

  • .

We'll keep but maybe it's okay. Now Requirements: Education and Experience section. Text: "Education and Experience: This position requires EEC Certification or must be eligible for and willing to become certified immediately, in addition to a minimum of a High School Diploma or equivalent and one year of supervised relevant work experience. An A.A. in Early Childhood Education or related field (i.e. elementary education, social work, psychology) is preferred, but not required. An equivalent combination of education and experience may be substituted at the JCC's discretion to meet minimum criteria." We'll put that in

    under Requirements heading. Skills & Abilities: list. Text: "Skills & Abilities: Computer literate; must have working knowledge of MS Office Suite applications and Outlook email. Displays a commitment to best practices relating to fostering the development of a child's self-image as a competent and capable learner.

  • items. Let's break: - Computer literate; must have working knowledge of MS Office Suite applications and Outlook email. - Displays a commitment to best practices relating to fostering the development of a child's self-image as a competent and capable learner. - Displays a commitment to being welcoming and warm toward children and must enjoy working with young children and their families. - Must be able to multi-task and juggle competing priorities while keeping child safety at the forefront at all times - Must be committed to continuing professional development - Displays a history of working well independently and with others, with an excellent ability to build/sustain collaborative working relationships; including an ability to build strong relationships with a variety of stakeholders Physical Requirements: separate maybe under Requirements or separate heading? Could be part of Requirements but we have separate heading for Skills. Physical Requirements could be under Requirements as well but we might create a separate heading? The instruction list includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Physical Requirements could be part of Requirements. We'll keep under Requirements as a

    or

      . Let's put as
        under Requirements? Might be messy. Better to include Physical Requirements under Requirements as a
          with heading? But we cannot add extra headings beyond allowed list. Could incorporate into Requirements

          but that would be long. Maybe we can add a

          for Requirements and inside have

          for education/experience and

            for physical requirements. That's acceptable. Now Benefits: list.
