We need to output HTML fragment only, with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must remove boilerplate: fraud alert, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's parse the posting. First part: "FRAUD ALERT: ..." remove. Then "DSV – Global Transport and Logistics At DSV, our purpose is to keep customers’ supply chains flowing and enable the business of our customers by ensuring reliable and efficient transport and logistics services through storage and transport of goods by air, sea and road. Our vision is to create long-term, sustainable growth and value for our customers, employees, shareholders and society.

As a global leader, our commitment to sustainable business practices is a central element of our overall business strategy. Visit dsv.com and follow us on LinkedIn and Facebook." That's generic company description; could be considered "About the role"? Actually it's about the company, not role. The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should include sections only if posting has real specific content for them. The company description may be considered "About the role"? Not exactly. But we could treat as "About the role" maybe? However the posting includes a "Summary" section: "A Freight Forwarder Ocean Import is responsible for managing the importation and exportation of goods by ocean, including all aspects of the logistics process such as customs clearance, carrier booking, cargo tracking, documentation, delivery or pick up of goods, and communication with customers and third party service providers. This role involves coordinating with various parties including carriers, customs brokers, and trucking companies to ensure timely and efficient delivery of goods." That's a summary of role. Could be placed under "About the role". The generic company description could be omitted as boilerplate? It's not navigation/legal/EEO but it's generic company info. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. It didn't say to remove generic company description. But we should preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The generic company description is substantive? It's about DSV, not the role. Might be considered filler but not prohibited. However we prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine company description into "About the role"? Might be okay. But we also have "Location: USA - Itasca, N Arlington Heights Rd Division: Air & Sea Job Posting Title: Freight Forwarder, Ocean Import - 126714 Time Type: Full Time". We should not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include location and time type in a paragraph. Then "Summary" as described. Then "Duties And Responsibilities" list bullet points. Then "Educational Background / Work Experience" paragraph. Then "Skills & Competencies" with subcategories: Mathematical Skills, Other Skills, Function / Market & Industry Knowledge / Business Acumen / Processes Knowledge, Language Skills, Computer Literacy. Then "At Will Employment" paragraph (legal). Might be considered boilerplate? It's employment type; maybe we can keep as part of Requirements? But it's not a list; it's a statement. Could be omitted as legal boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's about at-will employment. Might be considered boilerplate but not explicitly listed to remove. However we might keep it under "Requirements" or "Qualifications"? It's not a qualification. Might be better to drop as it's not substantive for role. Then "For this position, the expected base pay range is $21.53 – $26.91 Hourly. Actual compensation will be determined based on job-related factors such as relevant experience, skills, education, certifications, and geographic location, in accordance with applicable laws and company policy." That's Pay info -> we should create a Pay section. Then "Information regarding DSV’s benefits offerings, including eligibility, coverage options, and plan details, is available through the DSV Benefits Showcase. Benefits, programs, and eligibility may vary by location and division in accordance with applicable state and local laws." That's Benefits info -> we should create Benefits section. Then EEO statement etc -> remove as boilerplate. Then later duplicate company description again -> could be considered boilerplate duplicate; we should remove duplicated lines. Thus we need to produce HTML with sections: - About the role (maybe include summary and company description? We'll decide.) - Responsibilities (list of duties) - Requirements (maybe educational background/work experience) - Qualifications (maybe skills? Actually Skills & Competencies could be Skills section) - Skills (maybe separate) - Benefits - Pay Schedule: not provided, so omit. We need to avoid empty sections. Let's extract content. Location and time type: "Location: USA - Itasca, N Arlington Heights Rd Division: Air & Sea Job Posting Title: Freight Forwarder, Ocean Import - 126714 Time Type: Full Time". We'll make a short paragraph:
