We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job posting.

The ability to create content for our digital and print products and use social media to engage our audience is essential. Knowledge of InDesign, Photoshop, Microsoft Office, AP Style and online content management systems would be helpful. Education or experience in journalism or a related field is preferred. A valid driver's license, reliable vehicle and driving record insurable by the company. - Application instructions: To apply, please send your resume, cover letter and 3-4 examples of your work to Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@apgecm.com (should be removed). - Also "Salary/Compensation: $17.00 - $18.00 per hour recblid 8d8pipib2l73qdzntw531kdf8q5fqb" (duplicate pay info, plus recblid). Remove. We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe a prose paragraph summarizing role). Responsibilities: list of duties (coverage of St. Louis Park government beats, business, breaking news, in-depth feature stories, photography and layout; also flexible, attentive to detail, able to communicate concisely and capable in photography; maybe also create content for digital and print products and use social media to engage audience). Requirements: list of requirements (strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills; ability to create content for digital and print products and use social media; knowledge of InDesign, Photoshop, Microsoft Office, AP Style and online CMS; education/experience in journalism; valid driver's license, reliable vehicle, insurable driving record). Qualifications: maybe combine with requirements? But we can separate: Qualifications could be education/experience, driver's license etc. However we need to avoid duplication. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine similar items. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (prose), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (list), Benefits (list), Pay (maybe a short p), Schedule (maybe mention full-time 37.5 hours per week). Since schedule is given: full-time, 37.5 hours per week. That's specific, so we can include Schedule section with that info. Pay: we have pay range $17-$18 per hour. That's specific, so include Pay section. Benefits: we have list. Responsibilities: we have coverage of beats, etc. Also maybe "Share compelling stories that make a difference" etc. Also "flexible, attentive to detail, able to communicate concisely and capable in photography." Also "create content for our digital and print products and use social media to engage our audience is essential." That could be responsibilities. Requirements: strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills; knowledge of InDesign, Photoshop, Microsoft Office, AP Style and online CMS; education or experience in journalism or related field preferred; valid driver's license, reliable vehicle, driving record insurable by the company. Qualifications: maybe not needed separate if we cover in Requirements. But we could have Qualifications for education/experience and driver's license etc. However to avoid thin sections, we can combine Requirements and Qualifications into one Requirements section, or have Requirements and Skills separate. Let's see typical headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have content for: About the role (prose), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (list) (critical thinking, ability to create content, knowledge of tools), Qualifications (education/experience, driver's license), Skills (maybe InDesign, Photoshop, etc). But that would be many thin sections. Better to combine: Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (skills/knowledge/experience), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's 5 sections. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So we start with

. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Now craft the prose for About the role: combine the introductory sentences: "Community Editor position at Sun Sailor Newspapers in the Twin Cities west metro, based in Eden Prairie office. The role includes coverage of St. Louis Park government beats, business, breaking news, in-depth feature stories, photography and layout. Successful candidates must be flexible, attentive to detail, able to communicate concisely and capable in photography. New college graduates encouraged to apply for this entry-level position." That seems good. Responsibilities list: maybe: - Cover St. Louis Park government beats, business, breaking news, and in-depth feature stories. - Handle photography and layout for stories. - Create content for digital and print products. - Use social media to engage the audience. - Share compelling stories that make a difference in the community. - Be flexible, attentive to detail, and communicate concisely. But note some of these overlap with About the role. We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each piece exactly as in posting, but we can rephrase? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That suggests we should not omit any detail, but we can rephrase? It says do not invent or summarize away detail. Summarizing away detail might be considered losing detail. Safer to keep the original phrasing as much as possible, but we can combine into list items using the exact phrases. Let's extract exact phrases: From posting: - "coverage of St. Louis Park government beats, business, breaking news, in-depth feature stories, photography and layout." - "Your passion for community journalism has a home here." - "Share compelling stories that make a difference in the community where you work." - "Successful candidates must be flexible, attentive to detail, able to communicate concisely and capable in photography." - "New college graduates encouraged to apply. For this entry - level position." - "The ability to create content for our digital and print products and use social media to engage our audience is essential." - "Knowledge of InDesign, Photoshop, Microsoft Office, AP Style and online content management systems would be helpful." - "Education or experience in journalism or a related field is preferred." - "A valid driver's license, reliable vehicle and driving record insurable by the company." Also benefits list: "Competitive medical, dental and vision insurance; company-paid disability and term life insurance; a generous PTO policy with PTO accrual beginning on the first day of employment; company paid Floating Holidays; and a 401(k) plan." Pay: "$17-$18 per hour" (also "$17.00 - $18.00 per hour"). Schedule: "full-time, 37.5 hours per week". Now we need to decide which pieces go where. About the role: could be a paragraph that includes: "Community Editor position at Sun Sailor Newspapers in the Twin Cities west metro, based in our Eden Prairie office. This full-time, 37.5 hours per week position includes coverage of St. Louis Park government beats, business, breaking news, in-depth feature stories, photography and layout. Your passion for community journalism has a home here. Share compelling stories that make a difference in the community where you work. Successful candidates must be flexible, attentive to detail, able to communicate concisely and capable in photography. New college graduates encouraged to apply for this entry-level position." But note schedule is also in About the role; but we also have a Schedule section. To avoid duplication, we could put schedule only in Schedule section, not repeat in About the role. However About the role currently includes schedule; we could remove it from About the role and keep schedule separate. But we must preserve all substantive information; we can't omit schedule. So we need to include schedule somewhere. If we put schedule in Schedule section, we still need to mention it somewhere else? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information". It doesn't say we cannot mention it in multiple places, but we should not duplicate? It says "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines". Duplicated lines should be removed. So we should avoid duplicating the same line. So we should not repeat schedule in both About the role and Schedule section. Choose one place. Probably better to put schedule in its own section, and About the role can omit schedule. But we need to ensure we still convey that it's full-time 37.5 hours per week somewhere. So we will put schedule in Schedule section. Thus About the role paragraph will not include schedule. It will include: "Community Editor position at Sun Sailor Newspapers in the Twin Cities west metro, based in our Eden Prairie office. Includes coverage of St. Louis Park government beats, business, breaking news, in-depth feature stories, photography and layout. Your passion for community journalism has a home here. Share compelling stories that make a difference in the community where you work. Successful candidates must be flexible, attentive to detail, able to communicate concisely and capable in photography. New college graduates encouraged to apply for this entry-level position." Now Responsibilities: we need to list duties. Let's gather duty-like statements: - "coverage of St. Louis Park government beats, business, breaking news, in-depth feature stories, photography and layout." - "Share compelling stories that make a difference in the community where you work." - "The ability to create content for our digital and print products and use social media to engage our audience is essential." (This is more a requirement but could be responsibility.) - "Successful candidates must be flexible, attentive to detail, able to communicate concisely and capable in photography." (This is more a requirement but could be responsibility.) But we need to avoid duplication with Requirements. Let's think: Responsibilities are what the job entails; Requirements are what the candidate must have. Overlap exists but we can split. Better to assign: Responsibilities: - Cover St. Louis Park government beats, business, breaking news, and in-depth feature stories. - Handle photography and layout for stories. - Create content for digital and print products. - Use social media to engage the audience. - Share compelling stories that make a difference in the community. - Be flexible, attentive to detail, communicate concisely, and capable in photography. Requirements: - Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills. - Knowledge of InDesign, Photoshop,
