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. Must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro: "Abode, one of the largest and effective nonprofits working to end homelessness in the Bay Area, is seeking a Housing Specialist for our program in San Mateo County." This is maybe part of About the role?

We have: - About the role: we have a paragraph. - People and Culture: maybe part of Benefits? Could be separate but not in list of allowed headings. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide where to put content. "About the role" we already have. "Responsibilities": likely the "How You Make An Impact" section (duties). Also maybe the initial "About the role" sentence could be part of About the role. "Requirements": maybe the "How You Meet Qualifications" (education, experience, driver's license, schedule). Could be Requirements. "Qualifications": maybe overlapping; but we can treat Requirements as mandatory, Qualifications as preferred? But we have only one set. Could combine. "Skills": the "Competencies" section. "Benefits": the "Our Benefits & Perks" paragraph includes pay range, health, PTO, holidays, voluntary benefits, retirement match, professional development, culture. "Pay": we could extract pay range from Benefits, but we should not duplicate. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content for it. We have pay range in Benefits paragraph. Could create a Pay section with the pay range, and Benefits section for other benefits. But we need to avoid filler. The posting includes "$28.85 - $31.74 per hour DOE". That's specific. So we can have Pay section with that. "Schedule": we have "Flexible schedule to work evening and weekend hours when required." That's schedule info. Thus we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's allocate: About the role: intro paragraph about role purpose (first sentence after "About the role:"). Responsibilities: the "How You Make An Impact" list (duties). Could be bullet list. Requirements: maybe education, experience, driver's license, auto insurance, clean DMV record. Also maybe "High school diploma or equivalent (GED) required. 1 year of experience..." etc. Qualifications: maybe knowledge of local housing markets and geography, use of personal vehicle, proof of valid CA driver's license, current auto insurance, clean DMV record, flexible schedule? But those overlap. Could treat Requirements as hard requirements, Qualifications as preferred? But we have limited. Better: Use Requirements for education/experience/license/vehicle/insurance/DMV. Use Qualifications for knowledge of local housing markets, ability to work flexible schedule, etc. But we need to ensure we don't invent. Let's extract: From "How You Meet Qualifications": - High school diploma or equivalent (GED) required. - 1 year of experience working in the housing field, social services, or sales/customer service experience and knowledge of the local housing markets and geography. - Use of personal vehicle and proof of valid California Driver's License and current auto insurance, along with a clean DMV record, is required. - Flexible schedule to work evening and weekend hours when required. Thus we could put all that under Requirements (since they are requirements). Qualifications maybe we could leave empty? But we must not create empty sections. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But headings are predetermined; we can choose to omit Qualifications if no distinct content. However we have "Competencies" for Skills. Thus we could have: - About the role - Responsibilities - Requirements (includes education, experience, license, vehicle, insurance, DMV, flexible schedule) - Skills (competencies) - Benefits (includes PTO, holidays, voluntary benefits, retirement match, professional development, culture) - Pay (hourly range) - Schedule (maybe we already included flexible schedule in Requirements; but we could still have Schedule section with "Flexible schedule to work evening and weekend hours when required." But that would duplicate. Better to put schedule info in Schedule section and not duplicate in Requirements. So we move flexible schedule to Schedule. Thus Requirements: education, experience, license, vehicle, insurance, DMV. Schedule: flexible schedule to work evening and weekend hours when required. Now Benefits: we need to extract benefits from the paragraph. Paragraph: "Our Benefits & Perks $28.85 - $31.74 per hour DOE100% paid health, vision, and dental options19 PTO days & 12 Holidays per yearVoluntary benefits: FSA, EAP, Commuter Checks, Life Insurance, Legal, and more3% retirement match/contribution Professional Development Trainings and Opportunities, Leadership Academy Programs, and All Staff EventsDynamic, mission-driven culture and supportive leadership. We support you in supporting others" We need to separate Pay from Benefits. So Pay: "$28.85 - $31.74 per hour DOE". Benefits: rest. Thus Benefits: - 100% paid health, vision, and dental options - 19 PTO days & 12 Holidays per year - Voluntary benefits: FSA, EAP, Commuter Checks, Life Insurance, Legal, and more - 3% retirement match/contribution - Professional Development Trainings and Opportunities, Leadership Academy Programs, and All Staff Events - Dynamic, mission-driven culture and supportive leadership. We support you in supporting others We can format as list. Now Responsibilities: we need to list duties from "How You Make An Impact". Let's extract bullet points. Paragraph: "Provide housing placement and assistance for participants, focusing on the household’s needs and goals. Housing search and placement of appropriate units for potential participants. Network with landlords, renter’s associations, property management businesses and county wide permanent housing providers. Assist with the approval of all leases and help execute Housing Assistance Payment contracts with landlords. Prepare and ensure the accurate distribution of subsidy payments to landlords as needed. Provide move-in support for program teams, including perform or arrange for Housing Quality Inspections (HQI’s) prior to move-in, negotiate lease start date, review /approval of lease terms, coordinate housewarming furniture move, get documentation from landlord for check request, prepare move in documentation, upload housing documentation to Welcome Mat housing database. Provide notices of contract renewals and rental adjustments. Participate as a member of the service team by attending case conference meetings, assisting service staff in evaluation of participant’s housing readiness, reducing housing barriers and status of unit availability. Maintain contact with participants, monitor progress, report, and refer to team members as necessary after housing is secured. Provide aid and expertise to landlords or service staff for conflict resolution and problem solving. Ensure that all regulatory agreements, contracts, and fair housing laws are met as they relate to housing. Attending staff meetings and other agency functions as needed. Other duties as assigned." We can break into bullet list. Now Skills: from Competencies paragraph. "Excellent verbal & written communication, organizational, and time management skills. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with meticulous attention to detail. Ability to work well independently and collaboratively with teams. Basic knowledge and understanding of applicable federal, state, and local laws. Proficiency in Microsoft Office programs, systems, and platforms. Ability to learn and use required mobile devices and business-related applications. Outstanding communication skills and high degree of emotional intelligence, cultural humility, with a proven track record to build and maintain effective relationships with a wide variety of internal and external contacts." We can list as bullet points. Now About the role: we have the sentence: "
