for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
- Use - for lists,
for prose
- Do NOT repeat job title as heading
- Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings
- Preserve ALL substantive information
- Remove boilerplate (EEO, etc.)
- Include section ONLY when real specific content exists
- Never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text
- Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them
- Output ONLY HTML fragment, no html/body, no markdown
The posting has:
- Position Summary (prose)
- Essential Functions (list)
- YMCA Culture & Cause Expectations (list of traits)
- YMCA Competencies (Leader) (list of competencies with descriptions)
- Qualifications (list)
- Language Skills, Mathematical Skills, Reasoning Ability (could be sub-sections under Qualifications or Skills)
- Physical Demands (prose + list)
- Hours (prose)
- Requirements at end: "We are looking for a PreK basketball coach, must be good with little kids." This is a specific requirement.
I need to decide on sections. The rules suggest headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
I'll create:
- About the role (Position Summary)
- Responsibilities (Essential Functions)
- Culture & Values (YMCA Culture & Cause Expectations) - but maybe fold into About? The rule says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. But this is specific content. Could be a subsection? But headings are h3 only. Could make a section "Culture & Values" or "Expectations". The rule says use h3 for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those. I'll use "Culture & Values" as a heading.
- Competencies (YMCA Competencies) - could be "Competencies" or "Skills". The rule mentions Skills as a heading. I'll use "Competencies" or "Skills". Since they are labeled "YMCA Competencies (Leader)", I'll use "Competencies".
- Qualifications (the Qualifications section)
- Physical Demands
- Schedule (Hours)
- Requirements (the final line about PreK basketball coach) - but note: the rule says "Requirements" as a heading. However, the posting already has a "Qualifications" section. The final line says "Requirements We are looking for a PreK basketball coach, must be good with little kids." This seems like an additional requirement. I'll include it as a separate "Requirements" section or merge into Qualifications? The rule says include section only when real specific content. This is specific. I'll add a "Requirements" section for that.
But note: the rule says "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading". The job title is not given, but the posting is for "PreK basketball coach"? Actually the brief description says "Position Summary: Implements high-quality enrichment curriculum..." and at the end "Requirements We are looking for a PreK basketball coach". So the job title might be "PreK Basketball Coach". But we shouldn't repeat as heading. We'll just have sections.
Also, remove EEO boilerplate: "The YMCA of Greater Houston provides Equal Employment Opportunities..." - remove.
Remove "This job description is not all inclusive. The YMCA of Greater Houston reserves the right to amend this job description at any time." - that's boilerplate.
Now, structure:

But the rule says use for section headings. It doesn't mention h4. But we can use h4 for subsections? The rule says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid h4, but to be safe, maybe keep all as h3? But Skills is a section, and Language Skills, Mathematical Skills, Reasoning Ability are sub-skills. Could make them separate h3 sections? That would be many thin sections. The rule says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine under Qualifications? But they are distinct. However, the posting lists them under "Qualifications:" then "Language Skills", "Mathematical Skills", "Reasoning Ability". They are part of Qualifications. I could include them as sub-lists under Qualifications. But the rule says use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. It doesn't specify hierarchy. I think using h3 for main sections and maybe h4 for subsections is okay, but the instruction says "use
