Fitness Manager
for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
- Use - for lists
- Use
for prose
- Don't repeat job title as heading
- Don't put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings
- Preserve ALL substantive information
- Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions
- Include section ONLY when real specific content exists
- Never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text
- Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless actually stated
- Output ONLY HTML fragment, no html/body, no markdown fences
Looking at the content:
- "Brief Description" -> About the role
- "Roles And Responsibilities" -> Responsibilities (with subsections)
- "Position Requirements & Experience" -> Requirements (or Qualifications)
- "Scheduling Requirements" -> Schedule (since it has specific schedule details)
- "JOIN OUR TALENT COMMUNITY" -> boilerplate, remove
The posting doesn't mention Pay, Benefits explicitly (though there's mention of "Additional compensation" for training sessions, but not a full benefits/pay section). So I won't create Pay or Benefits sections.
I need to structure the responsibilities with the subsections. The subsections (BUSINESS LEADER, OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT, etc.) could be
or just part of the list. Since the rule says use for section headings, and these are sub-sections of Responsibilities, I could use for them, but the instruction only mentions for section headings. However, semantic HTML would allow for subsections. The instruction says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It doesn't forbid other heading levels. I'll use for main sections and for subsections within Responsibilities.
But the instruction says "Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences." So I'll just output the HTML.

I used for A Week/B Week. That's fine.
Now, check for any boilerplate: "JOIN OUR TALENT COMMUNITY" removed. "Other duties not listed here may be assigned as necessary to ensure the proper operations of the department." - I included that in the first paragraph of Responsibilities? Actually it's in the intro of Roles And Responsibilities. I should include it. I'll add a sentence in the Responsibilities intro.
Also, the "Brief Description" is about the company, not specifically the role. But it's the only description. I'll keep as "About the role".
The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)" - I didn't.
"do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short or drop it." - none present.
"Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." - I kept all bullet points.
