We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "Get To Know Us" etc. We need to include sections only when there is real content. Use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:

We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro: "Get To Know Us Riverview Gardens School District scholars, educators and parents continue to strive..." This is about the district. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is generic. But we have description of district and mission. Could treat as "About the role" or maybe "About the district". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content accordingly.
We have:
- Summary: "Reports directly to Principal. Provides a comprehensive guidance program for students..." That's essentially the role summary. Could be placed under About the role.
- Essential Duties And Responsibilities: long list. That's Responsibilities.
- Qualifications: includes Master's degree required, teaching certificate, background check, DESE Guidance Counselor Certification. Also maybe "Physical Demands" and "Terms Of Employment". Those could be under Requirements? Actually Qualifications section is separate. We have Qualifications heading in posting. So we should output a Qualifications
with list.
- Skills: Not explicitly listed, but maybe implied from duties? Could we create Skills section? The instruction: only include section when posting has real, specific content for it. There's no explicit Skills list, but we could infer from duties? Better not to invent. So omit Skills.
- Benefits, Pay, Schedule: The posting includes "Terms Of Employment Year: 10 Month Salary: Guidance Counselor Range on the District Teachers Salary Schedule Shift Type: Full-Time". That includes salary info (range on district teachers salary schedule) and shift type full-time, and year 10 month (schedule). So we have Pay (salary) and Schedule (year 10 month, full-time). Benefits not mentioned. So we can include Pay and Schedule sections.
- Benefits: none, so omit.
- Requirements: Could be separate from Qualifications? The posting has "Qualifications" and also "Physical Demands" and "Terms Of Employment". The "Requirements" heading could capture things like Master's degree, certification, background check, physical demands? But we already have Qualifications. Perhaps we treat Qualifications as the qualifications section, and Requirements could be things like "Physical Demands" and "Terms Of Employment"? However the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to decide what goes where.
We have:
- About the role: summary/intro + district description.
- Responsibilities: Essential Duties And Responsibilities.
- Requirements: maybe the "Physical Demands" and "Terms Of Employment"? But those are more about job conditions. Could also include "Master's degree required" etc. But those are qualifications.
Better to follow typical structure: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications like degree, certification), Qualifications (preferred? but we have only qualifications). However the posting has a "Qualifications" section with bullet list. So we can map that to Qualifications. Requirements could be things like "Physical Demands" and "Terms Of Employment"? But those are not really requirements; they are job details. However we need to use headings only when there is real content. We could create Requirements section with content: "Master's degree required (unless on an approved TAC plan). A teaching certificate substantiating completion of eligibility requirements for School Guidance Counseling. Successful completion of a background check by Human Resources. DESE Guidance Counselor Certification." That matches the Qualifications section actually. But the posting already has a Qualifications heading with those items. So we could treat that as Qualifications, and Requirements could be omitted or we could put physical demands etc under Requirements. But we need to avoid duplication.
Let's examine the posting text:
"Qualifications To perform this job successful, an individual must be able to satisfactorily perform each of the essential duties listed above. The requirements listed below are represented of the knowledge, skills, and/or abilities required. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. Master's degree required (unless on an approved TAC plan).A teaching certificate substantiating completion of eligibility requirements for School Guidance Counseling.Successful completion of a background check by Human Resources.DESE Guidance Counselor Certification Physical Demands Exerts 20 to 50 pounds of force occasionally and/orExerts 10 to 25 pounds of force frequently, and/orProlonged periods of working on a computer...."
So after Qualifications, they list Physical Demands and Terms Of Employment. So the Qualifications section includes the degree, certificate, background check, certification. Then Physical Demands and Terms Of Employment are separate sections.
Thus we can map:
- About the role: intro + summary.
- Responsibilities: Essential Duties And Responsibilities.
- Requirements: Physical Demands? Actually physical demands are more like job requirements (abilities). Could be under Requirements.
- Qualifications: the degree, certificate, background check, DESE certification.
- Benefits: none.
- Pay: Salary info.
- Schedule: Year: 10 Month, Shift Type: Full-Time.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "not specified". We have actual content for Pay and Schedule.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown.
We'll produce:
About the role
... content ...
Responsibilities
- ... each duty as li
