We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- About the role: The first paragraph(s) describing role: "Motor City Seafood Company is seeking an enthusiastic and detail-oriented Fish Processor/Fish Filleter to join our dynamic team in Highland Park. As a growing statewide company, we pride ourselves on delivering the highest quality seafood products while maintaining a strong commitment to sustainability, food safety, and customer satisfaction.

That's about role.
- Responsibilities: The list under "Essential Duties And Responsibilities". Should be a - list.
- Work Schedule: shift start, weekend required.
- Pay & Benefits: $18–$22 per hour, based on qualifications and experience; 90-day performance review; Vacation and personal time; Six paid holidays; Health benefits package available.
- Work Environment & Physical Demands: Could be part of Requirements? But we have sections: Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The posting includes "Qualifications", "Skills & Abilities", "Additional Requirements". Also "Work Environment & Physical Demands". We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We can put "Requirements" for mandatory items like age, punctuality, etc. "Qualifications" for experience helpful, certifications plus. "Skills" for knife handling, etc. "Benefits" maybe separate from Pay? But we have both Pay and Benefits headings allowed. Could combine Pay and Benefits into one? But they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. However we have both Pay and Benefits content; we could make a single "Pay & Benefits" section but headings allowed are Pay and Benefits separate. The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says we can use those headings. It doesn't forbid combining but we should follow the list. Probably better to have separate Pay and Benefits sections if content exists. However we have both pay and benefits details; we could put pay under Pay heading and benefits under Benefits heading.
Schedule: shift start, weekend required.
Now we need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not include boilerplate: EEO, ADA, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. There's a line "Job Posted by ApplicantPro" - that's boilerplate, remove.
Also "This job description is not designed to cover..." is generic; maybe we can drop as it's not substantive? It's a disclaimer; could be considered boilerplate. Probably remove.
Also "About Motor City Seafood Company" - that's about company, not role. Might be considered extra but could be part of About the role? The instruction: About the role heading for section headings (e.g. About the role...). The "About Motor City Seafood Company" is about company, not role. Might be considered not needed. But we could incorporate some of that into About the role? However they said preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. The company description is substantive? Might be considered part of the job posting but not required for role. However we could keep it under About the role? Might be stretching. But maybe better to include a short paragraph about company under About the role? The heading is About the role, not About the company. So maybe we should not include that. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; if we omit company description, we are omitting substantive info. But maybe they consider that as not essential to the role? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine company info into About the role? Might be acceptable.
But we need to decide.
Let's extract substantive content:
- Role description (first paragraph)
- Responsibilities list (essential duties)
- Work Schedule (shift start, weekend required)
- Pay ($18–$22 per hour, based on qualifications and experience)
- Benefits (90-day performance review, Vacation and personal time, Six paid holidays, Health benefits package available)
- Qualifications (must be 18+, valid ID, punctuality mandatory, previous experience helpful but not required, certifications plus)
- Skills & Abilities (knife handling, knowledge of fish species, food safety procedures, flexible schedule, proper clothing, fast-paced, attention to detail, physical stamina, ability to work independently/team, professionalism, communication, attendance)
- Additional Requirements (follow policies, cooperate, comply with OSHA, FDA, MDARD) - could be part of Requirements or Qualifications.
- Work Environment & Physical Demands (temperature below 40°F, use knives, wet/dry, exposure to chemicals, operate warehouse equipment, hand use, standing/walking/bending/kneeling/crouching, lift up to 50 lbs, push/pull up to 100 lbs) - could be part of Requirements or maybe a separate section but not in allowed headings. Could fit under Requirements (physical demands) or Skills? Probably Requirements.
We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Thus:
- About the role: role description + maybe company overview? We'll include role description only.
- Responsibilities: list of essential duties.
- Requirements: include age, punctuality, legal work auth, physical demands, work environment, compliance with regulations, etc.
- Qualifications: previous experience helpful, certifications plus.
- Skills: knife handling, knowledge of fish species, food safety, flexible schedule, proper clothing, fast-paced, attention to detail, physical stamina, teamwork, professionalism, communication, attendance.
- Benefits: 90-day review, vacation/personal time, six paid holidays, health benefits.
- Pay: $18–$22 per hour, based on qualifications and experience.
- Schedule: shift starts 4:30 AM sharp, weekend hours required.
Now we need to ensure we don't repeat content. Also avoid filler like "based on qualifications and experience" is okay.
We must not include headings with empty content.
Now produce HTML: use for each section heading, then content: either
for prose or
- for lists.
We need to decide which content is list vs prose.
Responsibilities: list of duties.
Requirements: could be a list (age, punctuality, legal work auth, physical demands, etc.) Might be better as list.
Qualifications: list.
Skills: list.
Benefits: list.
Pay: prose.
Schedule: prose.
About the role: prose.
Now let's extract exact sentences.
About the role prose:
"Motor City Seafood Company is seeking an enthusiastic and detail-oriented Fish Processor/Fish Filleter to join our dynamic team in Highland Park. As a growing statewide company, we pride ourselves on delivering the highest quality seafood products while maintaining a strong commitment to sustainability, food safety, and customer satisfaction. As a Fish Processing Technician, you will be responsible for processing and preparing a variety of raw fish products for distribution and sale. Your primary focus will be maintaining product quality while following strict food safety and sanitation standards. You will learn to scale, gut, pin-bone, and fillet multiple fish species while working alongside skilled filleters who will train you on our standards, processes, and procedures."
That's the prose.
Now Responsibilities list items (from "Essential Duties And Responsibilities"):
- Punctuality is a top priority. Shift starts at 4:30 AM sharp. If you cannot consistently arrive on time, this position is not the right fit.

- Report equipment malfunctions or safety hazards to supervisors promptly.
Note: The first bullet about punctuality and shift start duplicates schedule info; but we already have schedule section. Might be okay to keep but could be considered duplicate. However we must preserve all substantive info; we could keep it but maybe it's okay to have duplication. However we might want to avoid duplication but instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; duplication is still substantive. We could keep it in Responsibilities but also have schedule section; it's okay.
Now Requirements list:
- Must be 18 years of age or older with valid identification and legal work authorization.

Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO etc.
Now produce HTML.
We need to wrap each section in <
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says we can use those headings. It doesn't forbid combining but we should follow the list. Probably better to have separate Pay and Benefits sections if content exists. However we have both pay and benefits details; we could put pay under Pay heading and benefits under Benefits heading.
Schedule: shift start, weekend required.
Now we need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not include boilerplate: EEO, ADA, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. There's a line "Job Posted by ApplicantPro" - that's boilerplate, remove.
Also "This job description is not designed to cover..." is generic; maybe we can drop as it's not substantive? It's a disclaimer; could be considered boilerplate. Probably remove.
Also "About Motor City Seafood Company" - that's about company, not role. Might be considered extra but could be part of About the role? The instruction: About the role heading for section headings (e.g. About the role...). The "About Motor City Seafood Company" is about company, not role. Might be considered not needed. But we could incorporate some of that into About the role? However they said preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. The company description is substantive? Might be considered part of the job posting but not required for role. However we could keep it under About the role? Might be stretching. But maybe better to include a short paragraph about company under About the role? The heading is About the role, not About the company. So maybe we should not include that.

The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine company info into About the role? Might be acceptable.
