We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (position purpose), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Must only include sections with real content. No job title heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate (EEO, etc). Preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Position purpose paragraph(s): "POSITION PURPOSE As an Examiner, you will be conducting Compensation & Pension(C&P) Examinations for Veterans applying for disability compensation from the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) in relation to their in-service injury claims. The role involves reviewing the claim, performing focused assessments of claimed injuries, reviewing medical records, and potentially rendering a medical opinion based on the record review and completed Compensation & Pension (C&P) exam. Charting from home may be required for this position. Each examiner plays a vital role in the overall experience of the Veteran. By providing an exceptional experience during these examinations we aim to positively impact each Veteran. These Medical Disability Examinations are crucial in the VA’s process for determining benefits Veterans can receive because of service-connected health issues. Our valuable clinical insights will play a significant role in facilitating access to treatment subspecialists, when necessary, which can create exceptional continuity of care for those who need it the most. Clinical Examiners will be guided through a web-based examination form in a proprietary online system, which will enable you to capture patient information throughout the examination process. Qualified candidates must hold an active license, possess the ability to work independently and collaboratively, demonstrate strong people skills, and be adaptable to changing situations. Basic computer skills are also required for this role."
Then "Pay Rate: $106,728 / year"
Then "Job Responsibilities ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS AND BASIC DUTIES" list bullet points.
Then "Qualifications Education and Licensing: ..." etc.
Then "SCHEDULE REQUIREMENTS: Monday – Friday 8 am – 5 pm standard schedule Holidays clinics are closed"
Also "TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS: 10% Travel required supporting other clinics. Additional travel for required training or company events."
We need sections: About the role (position purpose), Responsibilities, Requirements (Qualifications), Benefits? Not mentioned. Pay: yes. Schedule: yes. Travel maybe part of schedule or responsibilities? Could include under Responsibilities or separate but not required. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we can include Pay and Schedule sections. Benefits not mentioned, so omit.
We need to use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to use
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So responsibilities list should be
- . Qualifications list also maybe
- . Pay and Schedule likely just
.
We must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from purpose, responsibilities, qualifications, pay, schedule, travel maybe.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes some about Loyal Source description, AI-powered voice screening, equal employment opportunity, accommodation request. Those should be removed.
Also "About Loyal Source" paragraph should be removed as boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's company description; maybe considered boilerplate? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About Loyal Source" is not explicitly listed but could be considered boilerplate? It's not legal/EEO. Might be okay to keep? But it's not substantive to the role; it's company overview. Might be considered boilerplate but not explicitly prohibited. Safer to remove it as it's not required. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." It doesn't say remove company overview. However, we should preserve ALL substantive information. Company overview may be considered not substantive to the role? Might be considered filler. I'd keep it? The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Including company overview would add a thin section maybe not needed. I'd omit it to keep focus.
Also "Loyal Source uses AI‑powered voice screening..." that's application instructions, should be removed.
Also "We are committed to providing equal employment opportunities..." EEO boilerplate, remove.
Now we need to format.
Section About the role: combine the position purpose paragraphs into
. Might be multiple sentences; we can put in one
.
Responsibilities: list each duty as

We have travel and schedule also in qualifications but we already have separate sections for Pay and Schedule. Travel could be part of Responsibilities or Requirements; but we already have travel mentioned in responsibilities (Ten percent travel is required to include other LSGS Clinics.) and also in qualifications. We could keep travel under Responsibilities or maybe not duplicate. Since we already have travel in responsibilities, we could omit from qualifications to avoid duplication. But we must preserve all substantive info; removing duplication is okay as per instruction: remove duplicated lines. So we can drop duplicate travel lines from qualifications.
Similarly schedule appears in qualifications and also we will have Schedule section; we can drop duplicate schedule line from qualifications.
Now Pay: we have Pay Rate: $106,728 / year. Also note "Please note that this position DOES NOT involve prescribing or treatment planning/delivery". That's substantive; we should include maybe in Responsibilities or About the role? Could be a note under Responsibilities or a separate paragraph. We'll include as a

Now we need to output only HTML fragment.
