We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Overview? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. We have content: Overview (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (list), Qualifications (Education, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Required and Preferred), Compensation (Pay), Benefits (mentioned). Also maybe "Job Duties" but that's similar to responsibilities. We need to avoid boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should strip out the EEO paragraph, the network paragraph about influenza vaccination, the "As a courtesy..." etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to keep the overview paragraph, responsibilities list, qualifications required and preferred, compensation details (minimum rate $17.62 hourly, plus explanation about pay transparency), benefits (health, dental, vision, paid leave, tuition reimbursement, retirement benefits). Also maybe schedule? Not mentioned. So we should not create Schedule section.

We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have a heading for "Food Service Associate". We'll have sections: Overview, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits. Possibly also "Requirements" but we have Qualifications covering required and preferred. Could split into Requirements (required) and Preferred Qualifications? But instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine required and preferred under Qualifications.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract content.
Overview paragraph: "Our team members are the heart of what makes us better. At Hackensack Meridian Health we help our patients live better, healthier lives — and we help one another to succeed.

Together, we keep getting better - advancing our mission to transform healthcare and serve as a leader of positive change. The Food Service Associate prepares and delivers patient meals within strict deadlines while maintaining high level of patient satisfaction for food and nutrition."
We can keep that as a

then inside we can have

then etc. That's okay.
Pay: We have compensation details: "Minimum rate of $17.62 Hourly" plus explanation about pay transparency, job duties, etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the paragraph about minimum rate, the explanation about pay transparency, the note about starting rate informational, the factors affecting base compensation, and the benefits mention? Actually benefits mentioned later. We'll put Pay section with Pay
and then containing the compensation details.
Benefits: The posting mentions: "In addition to our compensation for full-time and part-time (20+ hours/week) job positions, HMH offers a comprehensive benefits package, including health, dental, vision, paid leave, tuition reimbursement, and retirement benefits." Also earlier: "Here, competitive benefits are just the beginning." But we should include the specific benefits list. So Benefits section with
