We need to decide sections. We have substantive content for: - About the role: maybe a paragraph describing the role and mission. The posting includes introductory paragraphs: "The work you'll do is more than just a job..." and "It pays to consider a rewarding career...". Also description of tasks. So we can put that in About the role. - Responsibilities: list of duties: food preparation, short order cooking, serving meals, dishwashing, cleaning, following policies. Could also include performing simple cooking on large scale, plan small meals, cleaning tasks, read diet cards. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (knowledge and ability). Could be separate from Qualifications? The instruction says use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to use. We have Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into Qualifications section (maybe split into Minimum and Preferred). Or we could put Minimum under Requirements and Preferred under Qualifications. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine into one Qualifications section with subheadings? But we cannot use other headings besides

. We could use

to differentiate. So we could have a single Qualifications section with paragraphs describing minimum and preferred. - Skills: maybe we could extract skills like knowledge of food preparation, cooking utensils, nutrition, ability to cook large scale, plan small meals, cleaning tasks, read diet cards, etc. But that overlaps with qualifications. Might be redundant. Better to not create Skills if not distinct. - Benefits: we have a detailed list. - Pay: salary range plus shift differential, new hire bonus. - Schedule: shift hours, hours per period, days vary, weekend rotation. We also have location, telework, etc. Could be part of About the role or a short paragraph. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, application instructions, etc. Remove those. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all specifics: e.g., shift differential $2.25/hour for hours after 6pm before 6am, new hire bonus $2,500, etc. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not applicable. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's craft. Structure:
