We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use for each section heading. Only include only if posting has real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove contact email? The instruction says remove application instructions. The posting includes "Please reach out to Kelsey Seery (kseery@harriswilliams.com) with questions." That's application instruction? Probably remove. Also "Disclaimer: Harris Williams will not accept unsolicited resumes..." remove. Also "Application Window ..." maybe remove? It's not a core section but maybe keep? It's meta. Probably remove as it's not substantive about role. Benefits: The posting includes a benefits section but it's actually about PNC (looks like copy-paste error). The posting mentions "Comprehensive compensation and benefits program: Highly competitive compensation, pension, 401(k) matching, and eligibility for performance bonus amongst many other robust benefits." That's a benefits statement. Also later there is a benefits section about PNC (which seems unrelated). We need to preserve substantive info; but the PNC benefits seems like erroneous copy from another job. Should we include? It's not specific to Harris Williams. Might be considered boilerplate? It's a benefits section but not relevant. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The PNC benefits is not boilerplate but seems like mistaken content. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If it's in the posting, we must keep it. But it's likely a mistake; still it's in the text. We'll include it as benefits but note it's about PNC? Might be okay.
Pay: The posting includes "Pay Transparency Base Salary: $175,000.00 – $225,000.00". Also mention incentive eligible. So we need Pay section.
Schedule: Not mentioned. So we should not create Schedule section.
We need sections: About the role (maybe from Position Overview and About Harris Williams?), Responsibilities (from What We Look For? Actually responsibilities are described in "What We Look For" and "What Makes a Harris Williams Associate". Could treat as Responsibilities. Requirements: Basic Qualifications etc. Qualifications: maybe separate? The instruction says use headings for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills. We need to decide which sections have content.
We have content:
- About the role: Position Overview + About Harris Williams + Why Harris Williams (maybe). That's descriptive.
- Responsibilities: The bullet list under "What We Look For" (Prior Banking Experience, Quantitative Analysis, Problem solving and presentation skills, Project Management) plus the list under "What Makes a Harris Williams Associate" (many bullet-like sentences). Those are responsibilities/behaviors.
- Requirements: Basic Qualifications (2+ years relevant experience, ability to work in US without sponsorship, willingness to travel up to 20%, willingness/ability to relocate, FINRA licensing within 90 days). Also maybe education? Not specified.
- Qualifications: The section "Qualifications Successful candidates must demonstrate appropriate knowledge, skills, and abilities..." includes Competencies, Work Experience, Education, Certifications, Licenses, Language Assessments. That seems like qualifications.
- Skills: Could be derived from Competencies list (Analytical Thinking, Business Acumen, etc.) maybe treat as Skills.
- Benefits: The statement about comprehensive compensation and benefits program plus the PNC benefits paragraph (though seems off). We'll include both.
- Pay: Base salary range and incentive eligibility.
We must not include duplicated lines. Need to ensure we don't repeat same content.
We'll produce HTML with
