We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have company description, job description, qualifications, desired skills and duties, pay, schedule, benefits maybe. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. Let's parse content.
Company Description: description of company. Could be "About the role"? Actually "Company Description" could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can map:
- About the role: could include company description and job description overview? Might be better to have "About the role" summarizing the position. But we must not invent content. We can put company description under "About the role"? Might be okay but it's not exactly role. However we can also have separate sections: maybe "About the company" not allowed heading. So we need to fit content into allowed headings.
We have:
- Job Description: description of role, responsibilities, what they will do. That maps to "Responsibilities".
- Qualifications Requirements Include: list of qualifications. That maps to "Qualifications" (or Requirements). We have both Requirements and Qualifications headings allowed. We could combine.
- Desired Skills and Duties: list of skills/duties. That maps to "Skills" or "Responsibilities". Could be separate "Skills".
- Pay: salary range given. So we need a Pay section.
- Schedule: "Working in-person in our Westminster, CO office, full-time, Monday through Friday." That's schedule info.
- Benefits: mention of benefits package, flexible PTO, family-friendly policies, etc. So we can have Benefits.
- About the role: maybe we can include company description and overview of role. Could be "About the role" containing company description and brief role summary.
We must not include headings with filler. Ensure each heading has substantive content.
We must not include job ID, requisition numbers, application instructions, boilerplate, EEO, etc. Remove those.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like specific tasks, qualifications, etc.
We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
