for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Must preserve all substantive info, no invented summary. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions.
We need to parse the posting.
Let's extract sections:

That's about the role/company.
- Responsibilities: The bullet list after "Our Field Sales Representatives Team:" includes many duties. We need to list them as - . Should we separate into multiple sections? Probably just Responsibilities.

Bachelor’s degree and two years of field sales experience, preferably in component sales and/or engineering, with a background that includes progression from inside sales; or equivalent combination of education and experience."

There are some garbled sentences due to OCR but we need to preserve as is? We should keep the text but maybe fix obvious errors? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." We should not correct errors unless they are clearly typos? Might be okay to keep as is. However some fragments like "Possesses excellent verbal and written communication skills, including excellent presentation skills." preceded by "Exhibits exceptional knowledge of company products and Possesses excellent verbal..." There's a missing word after "and". We'll keep as is.
- Benefits: "What we offer our team members: A great benefits package that includes (but is not limited to) Medical/ Dental/ Vision, 401(k)/Roth plan with matching, Healthcare Savings Accounts Educational Assistance (Tuition Reimbursement) Ongoing training throughout your employment with opportunities to participate in professional and personal development programs A strong focus on giving back to our communities through philanthropic opportunities"
- Pay: Not mentioned specifically. There's "Strong analytical skills (able to calculate discounts, interests, proportions, percentages, and components of a target income-based pay plan)." That's not actual pay info. No explicit pay. So we should NOT create Pay section.
- Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. Travel requirement mentions travel at least 50% etc. That's not schedule. No explicit schedule like full-time, part-time, shift. So we should not create Schedule.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (Education and Experience), Qualifications? Actually "What we look for" could be Qualifications or Skills. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide which headings to use based on content.
We have:
- About the role: company overview and role purpose.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Requirements: Education and Experience Requirements.
- Qualifications/Skills: "What we look for" list of knowledge, skills, abilities.
- Benefits: benefits offered.
We could split "What we look for" into Qualifications and Skills, but we can just use one heading, maybe Qualifications. Or Skills. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Qualifications and Skills into one heading, maybe "Qualifications and Skills". But the allowed headings list includes Qualifications and Skills separately. We could use Qualifications for the list of knowledge/skills. Or Skills. Let's decide: Use "Qualifications" for the list of knowledge, skills, abilities (including driver's license, travel, etc). That seems appropriate.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
