for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. 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. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We have Pay Rate: $21.57 - $22.70 PER HOUR. Benefits: VOALA offers competitive medical, dental, vision and retirement benefits.
We have responsibilities/duties: many bullet-like sentences.
We have qualifications: requirements, education, experience, preferred qualifications.
We have location list of cities served (maybe part of About the role? Could be included in description). Might be considered part of "About the role" or "Responsibilities"? Probably part of description of role.
We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role" (summary), "Responsibilities" (duties), "Requirements" (mandatory qualifications), "Qualifications" (preferred?), "Benefits", "Pay". Could also include "Skills"? Not explicit.
We must not create sections with placeholder text. All sections we include must have real content.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, E-Verify, etc. Also remove duplicated lines (the duties appear twice). We need to preserve all substantive info but not duplicate.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract content.
First paragraph: "VOALA Helping Our Most Vulnerable Change Their Life Stories Volunteers of America is a non-profit human services organization committed to serving people in need, strengthening families, and building communities. VOALA provides a variety of social services to Los Angeles area communities such as Head Start programs, Upward Bound college prep programs, veterans services, homeless shelters, low-income housing programs as well as drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Learn more at www.voala.org."
That's about organization. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the organization". Since they said use headings like About the role, we can use that.
Then "PAY RATE: $21.57 - $22.70 PER HOUR" -> Pay section.
