for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. We have content: Primary Responsibilities (list), Qualifications (Required and Preferred), Salary Range (Pay), Benefits (mentioned), maybe Schedule not mentioned, so omit. Also maybe "About Northern Trust" could be considered "About the role"? But it's about company, not role. Could we include an "About the role" section? The posting does not have a distinct "About the role" heading; it starts with "About Northern Trust". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. But we should only include a section when posting has real, specific content for it. Does the posting have content for "About the role"? It has description of Northern Trust, which is about the company, not role. Might be considered "About the role" content? Probably not; better to omit that heading. Instead we could include a brief paragraph about the company under maybe no heading? But we need to preserve all substantive information. We could put that company description in a
without a heading, as it's not a section heading. The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." It doesn't forbid having a paragraph without heading. So we can output:
About Northern Trust ...
ThenResponsibilities
with- ... each bullet.
Then
Qualifications
with maybe split Required and Preferred? Could be two subheadings? But only allowed headings are those listed; we could still usefor Qualifications and inside have paragraphs for Required and Preferred. Or we could make two sections: Requirements and Qualifications? The list includes both Required and Preferred under Qualifications. The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We have both Required and Preferred qualifications. Could combine into Qualifications section. We'll put Required and Preferred as paragraphs. Then
Pay
with salary range. ThenBenefits
with description. We should not include Schedule. We need to preserve all substantive information: also mention Work Authorization, Working with Us, Philanthropy, Reasonable Accommodation. Those are substantive but not fitting into given headings. Where to put? Could be under a generic section? Not allowed headings besides those. Could we add aWorking with Us
? Not in list but maybe allowed as it's substantive. The instruction says usefor section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive. But they say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could add sections for Working with Us, Work Authorization, Reasonable Accommodation. However they'd be thin? Might be okay. But we need to preserve all info. Let's include sections: Working with Us, Work Authorization, Reasonable Accommodation. But we must not invent headings like "About the role" if no content. We have content about Northern Trust; maybe we can put that under "About the role"? It's about company, but could be considered role context. Safer to put it as a
without heading. Let's decide: We'll output:

We need to ensure we didn't repeat job title. No mention. Check for boilerplate: we removed cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting didn't have explicit EEO but we didn't include. We preserved all substantive info: company description, responsibilities list, qualifications required and preferred, salary range, benefits, working with us, work authorization, reasonable accommodation. We usedfor each section heading. We used
