We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? Actually description includes "Job Description Farsi Instructor". There's a description paragraph about Leidos mission etc. Then "Take Your Expertise to the Next Level – Join Leidos as a Farsi Language Instructor". Then "Why Join Leidos?" bullet list. Then "Responsibilities Include" bullet list. Then "Required Qualifications" bullet list. Then "Language Proficiency Requirements" bullet list. Then "Security Clearance Requirement" bullet list. Then "Preferred Qualifications" bullet list. Then "Ready to Make an Impact?" paragraph. Then later "Pay Range" with numbers. Then "Pay And Benefits" paragraph. Also "About Leidos" paragraph. Also "Securing Your Data" etc but we must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to remove sections like "Securing Your Data", "Commitment to Non-Discrimination", "About Leidos" maybe? Actually "About Leidos" is substantive? It's generic but maybe keep? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About Leidos" is not boilerplate but could be considered generic company description; but it's substantive? Might keep as a section? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine some. But we need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. The posting includes "Pay Range" specific numbers, so we should include Pay section. Benefits: there is a paragraph about Pay and benefits but not specific details; it's generic. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state Pay Range, so we can include Pay section. Benefits: they mention "Employment benefits include competitive compensation, Health and Wellness programs, Income Protection, Paid Leave and Retirement." That's somewhat specific but still generic. Might include Benefits section? It does state benefits, albeit generic. Could include Benefits section with that list. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might combine Pay and Benefits into one? But they said use headings for Benefits, Pay, Schedule separately if present. Since we have Pay Range and Benefits description, we can make both sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID etc. We need to use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings. The posting has sections: Why Join Leidos? (maybe "About the role"?), Responsibilities, Required Qualifications (maybe "Qualifications"), Language Proficiency Requirements (maybe "Skills"?), Security Clearance Requirement (maybe "Requirements"?), Preferred Qualifications (maybe "Skills"?). Also "About Leidos" maybe "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be the introductory description. We'll decide. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all content except boilerplate. Let's extract substantive paragraphs: Intro: "Job Description Farsi Instructor Looking for an opportunity to make an impact?

We empower our teams, contribute to our communities, and operate sustainably. Everything we do is built on a commitment to do the right thing for our customers, our people, and our community.

Step 10 is ancient history. We're already at step 30 — and moving faster than anyone else dares." Then "Original Posting September 15, 2026 For U.S. Positions: While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above." This is metadata; we can drop or fold into short p. Then "Pay Range Pay Range $92,300.00 - $166,850.00 The Leidos pay range for this job level is a general guideline onlyand not a guarantee of compensation or salary. Additional factors considered in extending an offer include (but are not limited to) responsibilities of the job, education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity, alignment with market data, applicable bargaining agreement (if any), or other law."

That's why we craft compensation packages that reflect the importance of the work we do for our customers. Employment benefits include competitive compensation, Health and Wellness programs, Income Protection, Paid Leave and Retirement. More details are available at www.leidos.com/careers/pay-benefits." Then scam warning etc which we remove. We need to output HTML fragment with headings: maybe "About the role" for introductory description (first two paragraphs). "Why Join Leidos?" could be part of "About the role" or separate "Benefits"? Actually "Why Join Leidos?" is more like benefits/value proposition. Could be "Benefits". But we already have Benefits section later. Might combine. We need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have: - About the role: introductory description (mission, opportunity). - Responsibilities: the Responsibilities Include bullet list. - Requirements: maybe Security Clearance Requirement? Or Required Qualifications? Actually "Requirements" could be Required Qualifications. But we also have "Qualifications" heading separate. The list includes both Requirements and Qualifications; maybe we treat Required Qualifications as "Qualifications" and Language Proficiency Requirements as "Skills"? Or "Requirements" for security clearance? Let's map: We have Required Qualifications (education, experience). That's qualifications. We have Language Proficiency Requirements (test scores). That's skills. We have Security Clearance Requirement (clearance). That's maybe "Requirements". We have Preferred Qualifications (IC experience, multiple languages). That's also qualifications/skills. We could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. We need to avoid thin sections. Let's combine Preferred Qualifications into Qualifications. Thus:

About the role

with intro paragraphs (mission, opportunity, Take Your Expertise...).

Responsibilities

with ul list of responsibilities.

Qualifications

with ul list: Required Qualifications + Preferred Qualifications.

Skills

with ul list: Language Proficiency Requirements. Maybe also include Security Clearance as a separate section? Could be under Qualifications? But clearance is a requirement not qualification. Could be a separate "Requirements" section. But we already used Qualifications. The heading list includes Requirements. So we can have:

Requirements

for Security Clearance Requirement. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. We need Benefits: from Pay And Benefits paragraph (employment benefits). Also Why Join Leidos? could be part of Benefits? But we already have Benefits section; we can include Why
