The user wants me to reformat a job posting into clean, well-structured semantic HTML. Let me analyze the content and apply the rules: 1. Use

for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule) 2. Use
  • for lists,

    for prose 3. Do NOT repeat job title as heading 4. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings 5. Preserve ALL substantive information 6. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions) 7. Include section ONLY when posting has real, specific content - never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text 8. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them 9. Output ONLY HTML fragment - no /, no markdown code fences Let me identify the sections from the posting: - Overview/About the role (first paragraph) - Key Responsibilities (multiple subsections) - Required Qualifications - Preferred Qualifications - Technical Environment - What You'll Gain (Benefits/Growth) - Job Type & Location (appears twice, need to consolidate) - Pay and Benefits (has specific pay range and benefits list) - Application Deadline - Workplace Type - About TEKsystems (company boilerplate - should remove) - EEO statements (boilerplate - remove) - San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance (boilerplate - remove) - Massachusetts Lie Detector (boilerplate - remove) - AI usage (boilerplate - remove) I need to structure this properly. Let me create sections: 1. About the role (from Overview) 2. Responsibilities (from Key Responsibilities - has multiple subsections) 3. Requirements (Required Qualifications) 4. Preferred Qualifications 5. Technical Environment 6. Benefits (What You'll Gain + Pay and Benefits) 7. Job Details (Job Type, Location, Workplace Type, Application Deadline) Wait, the rules say: "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". So I should use these standard headings where applicable. Let me map: - Overview → About the role - Key Responsibilities → Responsibilities - Required Qualifications → Requirements - Preferred Qualifications → Qualifications (or keep as Preferred Qualifications) - Technical Environment → Skills (or keep as Technical Environment) - What You'll Gain + Pay and Benefits → Benefits (and Pay) - Job Type & Location, Workplace Type, Application Deadline → could be Schedule or Job Details The rules say: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them". The posting DOES state Pay and Benefits with specific details, so I should include them. Also: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Let me consolidate: 1. About the role (overview paragraph) 2. Responsibilities (all the key responsibilities with subsections as nested lists or just combined) 3. Requirements (required qualifications) 4. Preferred Qualifications 5. Technical Environment 6. Benefits (What You'll Gain + Pay and Benefits details) 7. Job Details (type, location, workplace, deadline) I'll use

    for each section heading. For Responsibilities, there are subsections: End User Support, Account & Access Management, Troubleshooting & Incident Resolution, Desktop Deployment & Technical Support, Documentation & Process Adherence, Growth & Development. I could make these sub-headings or just list all items. Since the rule says use

    for section headings, and these are sub-sections, maybe I should use

    or just include them as bold text within list items. But the instruction only mentions

    for section headings. I'll keep them as bold lead-ins within list items or as separate

    ? The instruction says "use

    for section headings" - it doesn't forbid other heading levels, but to be safe, I'll use

    only for main sections and use for subsections within lists. Actually, looking at the example headings: "About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule". So Qualifications and Skills are separate. I have Preferred Qualifications and Technical Environment (which is like Skills). I'll make them separate sections. Let me structure:

    About the role

    ...

    Responsibilities

    • End User Support: ...
    • ... etc for each bullet
    But the responsibilities have multiple bullets per subsection. Better to have nested lists or separate the subsections. Since the rule says use
    • for any list of duties, I'll create a list where each item is a duty, grouping by subsection with bold labels. Alternatively, I could make each subsection a separate

      but the instruction only specifies

      . I'll stick to

      for main sections and use for subsection labels within list items. Let me write the HTML. First, remove all boilerplate: About TEKsystems (both occurrences), EEO statements, San Francisco Fair Chance, Massachusetts Lie Detector, AI usage, duplicated Job Type & Location (appears twice), Application Deadline (keep once), Workplace Type. Also note: "Job Type & Location" appears twice with same content. Keep one. Now, let's extract content: About the role: "We are seeking a customer-focused Help Desk Analyst to join our IT Support team. This role serves as the first point of contact for employees experiencing technical issues and is responsible for providing prompt, professional support across hardware, software, account access, and basic networking concerns. The ideal candidate will possess strong troubleshooting skills, excellent communication abilities, and a passion for delivering exceptional customer service. This position provides an excellent opportunity to grow technical skills while supporting a diverse end-user environment and gaining exposure to Tier 2 support responsibilities." Responsibilities: six subsections with bullets. Required Qualifications: list of bullets. Preferred Qualifications: list of bullets. Technical Environment: list of technologies. What You'll Gain: list of bullets. Pay and Benefits: pay range paragraph, then benefits list. Job Type & Location: "This is a Contract to Hire position based out of Saint Paul, MN." (appears twice) Workplace Type: "This is a fully onsite position in Saint Paul,MN." Application Deadline: "This position is anticipated to close on Oct 31, 2026." I'll combine Job Type, Location, Workplace Type, Deadline into a "Job Details" section or "Schedule" section. The example includes "Schedule". Since it's about job type, location, workplace type, deadline, I'll call it "Job Details" but the rule says use headings like "Schedule". However, "Schedule" might imply work schedule. The posting doesn't specify hours/shift. It says "Contract to Hire", "fully onsite", location, deadline. I'll use "Job Details" as heading? But the rule says "use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It says "e.g." so not exhaustive. I can use "Job Details". But to follow the spirit, maybe "Schedule" is for work schedule. Since there's no schedule info, I'll create a "Job Details" section. Alternatively, I could include location and type in "About the role" but better separate. I'll create a section "Job Details" with

      . Now, for Benefits: The posting has "What You'll Gain" and "Pay and Benefits". I'll combine into a "Benefits" section, including pay range and benefits list. The pay range is specific: $20.00 - $23.00/hr. So Pay section is warranted. But the rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them". It does state pay and benefits. I could make separate Pay and Benefits sections, but "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So combine into Benefits section with pay info. Let's write. I'll output only the HTML fragment. Let me draft:
