We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate.
We need to parse the posting.
Let's extract content:

We should remove application instruction "Submit your resume and application today!" (application instructions). Also remove any EEO etc. Not present.
Then "Rooms - This adventure gives you the ability to test your hospitality skills in a fast paced environment and see how much of an impact you have on the overall hotel operation." This seems like description of role.
Then "Employee Benefits Medical, Dental, & Vision Insurance for FTYR employees401(k) with Employer MatchingDiscounted On-Site Downtown ParkingHotel Discounts (Both Hilton & Sage Portfolio) Sage Values & Culture At Sage we create a culture of belonging. Our team members serve with creativity, and passion. Sage associates execute unforgettable experiences and take pride in our communities. We set new standards in hospitality."

Then "Environment Prolonged standing at indoor, thermostatically climate-controlled work station under florescent lighting. Work inside 95%"
Then list of benefits: "Medical, Dental, & Vision Insurance Free On-Site Parking Complimentary Employee Meals 401(k) with Employer Matching Hotel Discounts (Both Hilton & Sage Portfolio) Employee Recognition Events/Prizes Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts Basic Life and AD&D Insurance Paid Time off for Vacation, Sick Time, and Holidays Employee Assistance Program Opportunities for Career Growth and Development Sage Restaurant Concepts 25% Discount Sage Saving Spot"
Also earlier there was "Employee Benefits Medical, Dental, & Vision Insurance for FTYR employees401(k) with Employer MatchingDiscounted On-Site Downtown ParkingHotel Discounts (Both Hilton & Sage Portfolio)" which duplicates.
We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe intro), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe Education/Formal Training, Experience, Knowledge/Skills), Qualifications (maybe combine with Requirements?), Skills (maybe separate), Benefits (list), Pay (none), Schedule (none). Since no explicit pay or schedule, we omit those sections.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (the bullet list of duties), Requirements (Education/Formal Training, Experience, Knowledge/Skills), Qualifications maybe not needed if we already have Requirements; but we could treat Requirements as qualifications. Skills maybe separate list of skills from Knowledge/Skills. However we must avoid thin sections. Could combine Requirements and Skills into one section? But rules: we can have sections for each heading if there is content. We need to avoid filler.
We have content for About the role (intro). Responsibilities (duties). Requirements (Education, Experience, Knowledge/Skills). Skills (maybe same as Knowledge/Skills). Could combine Knowledge/Skills into Requirements and not create separate Skills. Benefits we have list.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use
for each section heading. Inside sections: use
for prose,
- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format as lists.
Let's extract About the role prose: The first paragraph up to "Submit your resume and application today!" but we need to remove application instruction. So we keep everything except that sentence. Also maybe remove "Rooms - This adventure gives you the ability to test your hospitality skills in a fast paced environment and see how much of an impact you have on the overall hotel operation." That seems like a description of role; could be part of About the role or Responsibilities. It's a description of what the role entails; could be part of About the role. We'll include it in About the role.
Thus About the role content: Combine:

We need to ensure no application instruction. Good.
Now Responsibilities: list each duty sentence. We'll break into list items.

- Must be highly organized and able to pay attention to minute written and verbal details, particularly when performing multiple tasks.
We could also include Physical Demands and Environment as part of Requirements? They are separate sections maybe but we could include under Requirements or maybe a separate "Physical Demands" section. The rules allow sections like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Physical Demands not listed as allowed heading; we could fold into Requirements or maybe into a generic section but better to include under Requirements as part of job requirements. However the instruction says to use those headings only; we can still include other headings? It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. Safer to stick to those. We can incorporate Physical Demands and Environment into Requirements or maybe into a "Qualifications" section. But we already have Requirements; we could add a subsection? Not allowed to add extra headings besides those? It says use
for section headings (e.g. ...). It doesn't say you cannot use other headings, but to be safe we can incorporate that content into Requirements as additional bullet points. Thus Requirements section will include Education, Experience, Knowledge/Skills, Physical Demands, Environment. We need to preserve all substantive
