In-Room Dining Server
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the job posting: It's a long description. There's no explicit headings like "About the role", but we can infer sections: "Main Duties", "General Duties", "Qualifications & Skills". Also there is "About Us...". There's no explicit Pay, Benefits, Schedule. There's mention of schedule: "Flexibility to meet the demands of a 24-hour operation. Due to the nature of the hospitality industry, team members may be required to work varying schedules, including holidays and weekends..." That's schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section.
Benefits: Not mentioned. Pay: Not mentioned. So we omit those.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove repeated equal opportunity statements.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
We need to decide sections: Possibly "About the role" (maybe from introductory paragraph), "Responsibilities" (Main Duties + General Duties), "Qualifications" (Qualifications & Skills), "Schedule".

We can choose which are appropriate.
We have content: Intro paragraph about Life at Starwood Hotels, mission-driven, etc. That could be "About the role". Then "Main Duties" and "General Duties" combined as Responsibilities. Then "Qualifications & Skills" as Qualifications (maybe also Skills). Then schedule info as Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
