We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe a brief summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (minimum qualifications?), Qualifications (preferred?), Skills (maybe not explicit), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Pay: salary range given. Schedule: work shift/hours and days of work given. We have Benefits: explicit list. We have Requirements: Minimum Qualifications + Required Training + Physical Requirements + Additional Requirements? Could combine into Requirements section. We have Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications. We have Skills: maybe not explicit; could omit if no specific skill list. We have About the role: maybe the introductory paragraph about work you'll do more than just a job, plus description of role. Could be "About the role". We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include metadata like Job ID etc as headings; we can put them in a short

maybe but we can drop them as minor metadata? The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we could include a short paragraph with location, job class, agency etc. But we might drop them to keep concise. However we must preserve ALL substantive information. Metadata like location, job class, agency, etc are substantive? Possibly yes. But they said fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include a short

with those details. Thus final HTML: maybe:
