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. The posting includes: description (about the role), responsibilities (many bullet points), qualifications (some bullet), maybe skills (some bullet). No explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. There's mention of "Paid on-call work hours are required." That's about schedule? It mentions on-call work hours required, but not schedule details. Could we consider that as Schedule? It says "Paid on-call work hours are required." That's a schedule detail (on-call). Might be considered schedule info. However rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It states on-call work hours required, which is schedule. So we could include a Schedule section with that info. Benefits not mentioned. Pay not mentioned. So we include About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills maybe, Schedule.

We'll create Schedule section with that.
