We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Title: Grounds Laborer 1 (we do not repeat as heading). Classification: Full-time (40-hour work week), non-exempt Department: Grounds & Facilities Reports To: Grounds Supervisor Compensation: $23.00 - $28.00 Schedule: Monday – Friday, 7:30am – 3:30pm, with occasional weekends and evenings. About Lotusland: description. Position Summary: Work with experienced horticultural staff... etc. Key Responsibilities: list. Knowledge and Abilities: list. Work Environment: description. Benefits: listed. Additional Information: background check etc. Core Values: maybe not needed. We need sections: About the role (maybe combine About Lotusland + Position Summary?), Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities), Requirements (maybe Knowledge and Abilities + lifting requirement + driver's license), Qualifications (maybe not separate), Skills (maybe not separate), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not create sections with filler. So we need to see if we have content for each. Pay: Compensation: $23.00 - $28.00 => we have pay. Schedule: Monday – Friday, 7:30am – 3:30pm, with occasional weekends and evenings. => schedule. Benefits: list given. About the role: we have About Lotusland description and Position Summary. Could combine into About the role. Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities list. Requirements: Knowledge and Abilities list plus lifting requirement, driver's license, maybe also "Must be capable of strenuous physical work and working in inclement weather (50 lb. lifting requirement)". That's also in Knowledge and Abilities. So we can put Requirements. Qualifications: maybe not separate; we could skip if no distinct qualifications beyond requirements. The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could omit Qualifications and Skills if not distinct. Skills: maybe not separate. Thus output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes "Lotusland is an equal opportunity employer..." and "No recruiters or agency calls please." and "Powered by JazzHR YEComDzYjP". Also "Additional Information Employment background/criminal check is required." That's not boilerplate; it's a requirement. We should keep that as part of Requirements maybe. Also "Lotusland Core Values:" maybe not needed as section; but we could incorporate into About the role? It's values, but not specifically about role. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but still maybe not needed. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Core Values not listed as boilerplate; but it's not directly about the role. Might be considered extra but not prohibited. However we prefer few substantive sections; we could include it under About the role as a paragraph? But it's not about the role; it's about organization values. Could be considered part of About Lotusland? Might be okay to include as part of About the role? But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot omit core values unless they are considered boilerplate. The instruction only mentions specific boilerplate types; core values not listed. So we should keep them. But we need to decide where to put them. Could add a section "About Lotusland" but we only allowed headings from list; we could use About the role heading and include both Lotusland description and core values under that. Alternatively we could create a separate section "About Lotusland" but not allowed heading; we must use only those headings. So we put under About the role. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Now let's extract content. About Lotusland paragraph: "Ganna Walska Lotusland is a 37-acre botanical garden and historic estate located in Montecito featuring a collection of over 3,000 plant species from around the world as well as historically significant Spanish Colonial Revival architecture. Since opening to the public in 1993, Ganna Walska Lotusland has grown to become one of the world’s premier botanical gardens and a center for sustainable garden practices, horticultural education, and plant conservation." Mission Statement: "Our mission is to preserve and enhance the distinctive botanical gardens and estate of Madame Ganna Walska. Lotusland educates and inspires visitors with its collections, sustainable horticulture practices and plant conservation." Position Summary: "Work with an experienced horticultural staff responsible for the care and maintenance of a 37-acre botanical display garden. Plant collections include bromeliads, cacti, and other succulents, cycads, palm, ferns, and water plants.

Now Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities list: - Assist with general maintenance of grounds - Provide general plant care. - Operate non-mechanical tools. - Learn to operate mechanical power tools. - Assist in the installation, maintenance, and operation and repairs of irrigation system and waters by hand. - Proactively participate in teamwork with coworkers and work independently. - Will be assigned to perform the following: - Care for garden section(s) in the absence of horticulture staff. - Train volunteers in safe and effective gardening tasks. - Assist event set up when facilities need help or are unavailable. - Maintains curatorial and display labels and reports lost or damaged labels to the Section Gardener.

Additional Information: - Employment background/criminal check is required. Core Values: list of values with descriptions. We could incorporate Work Environment and Additional Information into Requirements or maybe a separate section "Work Environment" but not in allowed headings. Could incorporate into Requirements as well. But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can include them under Requirements as paragraphs or list items. Better to have Requirements section include Knowledge and Abilities, Work Environment, Additional Information, Core Values maybe. But we need to avoid too thin sections; we can combine. Now Benefits: - Health, dental, vision and life insurance. - Voluntary Supplemental Insurance - Flexible Spending Account and Dependent Care - 403(b) & ROTH Retirement plans, with an employer match of 5% after 2 years of employment - Paid vacation and sick leave. - 11 Paid holidays. Pay: $23.00 - $28.00 Schedule: Monday – Friday, 7:30am – 3:30pm, with occasional weekends and evenings. Now we need to output HTML fragment. We'll do:

    About the role

    ... (combined About Lotusland, Mission Statement, Position Summary)

    Responsibilities

    • ... each item

    Requirements

    ... maybe combine Knowledge and Abilities, Work Environment, Additional Information, Core Values as paragraphs or list.

    Could also use
      for list items. We need to decide formatting: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Requirements we have multiple items; we can use
          . For prose we use

          . Thus:

          Requirements

          • Maintain a positive and professional working relationship with all staff, volunteers, and visitors.
          • Assist visitors in answering questions and wayfinding as needed to ensure positive customer experience.
          • Demonstrate a strong work and personal ethic and care of horticultural and facilities tools and supplies, the care of personal safety during horticultural practices in accordance with the Lotusland’s safety procedures and trainings.
          • Follow Lotusland’s Plant Healthcare Guidelines and Best Management Practices as they apply to cultural requirements throughout the garden.
          • Must be able to lift heavy objects, i.e., equipment, fertilizer, potted plants, etc. (50 lb. minimum lifting requirement)
          • Must possess a valid California driver’s license
          • Lotusland’s administrative offices are on a historic 2-story estate in a 37-acre garden; 90% of the day will be spent outside on the grounds.
          • Frequent walking, kneeling, bending, lifting (50 lbs.). Will need to drive a cart.
          • Breaks and lunch are taken altogether with the team.
          • Employment background/criminal check is required.
          • Lotusland Core Values: Accountability: We take ownership of the commitments we make, holding ourselves accountable for our actions and decisions, both to ourselves and those we lead. Teamwork and Collaboration: Our roles are interdependent, requiring intentional collaboration within teams to consistently achieve our mission. Communication: Effective communication is crucial for building trust among our staff, board, and the larger community. We strive to share information clearly, consistently, and in a timely manner to foster understanding and commitment across our organization. Trust: We aim to cultivate mutual respect and open communication throughout the organization. Employees are encouraged to openly share their perspectives and feel secure in taking risks to enhance our effectiveness. Integrity: Aligned with our guiding principles of honesty, fairness, and decency, we promote a strong ethic of integrity among individuals and leaders.
          But the core values list is long; we could keep as a paragraph rather than list item to avoid huge
        • . However instruction: Use
          • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Core values is a list but not duties/requirements/benefits; could be prose. Safer to put as

            . Thus we could have a

            for core values. Similarly, Work Environment could be list items; but they are requirements? Might be okay as list. We'll keep Requirements as

              for the first items (knowledge/abilities, lifting, driver's license, background check). Then add a

              for Work Environment and core values. But we need to preserve all info; we can split. Let's structure:

              Requirements

              • Maintain a positive and professional working relationship with all staff, volunteers, and visitors.
              • Ass
