We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. There's no explicit application instructions besides benefits link maybe? The benefits link is a URL; we might keep it as part of Benefits section? The instruction says: "For information about benefits, please follow the link below." That's basically a pointer; we could include the link as part of Benefits section? But we should not include application instructions. The benefits link is not an application instruction; it's info about benefits. We could include it as a link in Benefits section.
We need sections: About the role (maybe summary description), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe education/experience), Qualifications (maybe knowledge/skills/abilities), Skills (maybe separate?), Benefits (wage range and link), Pay (maybe wage range?), Schedule (full-time, working months 10, shift day). But we must not create sections if content is placeholder like "not specified". We have actual content for Pay: wage range $23.42-$33.53 per hour. Benefits: link to benefits info. Schedule: Full-time, Working Months 10, Shift Day.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We need to decide which sections to include. Could combine some: About the role (summary description). Responsibilities (list duties). Requirements (education/experience). Qualifications (knowledge/skills/abilities). Skills maybe part of Qualifications; but we could have Skills separate if we have specific skill list. The posting includes "Skill in the operation of a typewriter, and of a computer terminal..." and "Computer skills including word processing and database required...". Could be Skills.
Benefits: link.
Pay: wage range.
Schedule: full-time, working months 10, shift day.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual data.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must output only HTML fragment.
