We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Include only sections with real specific content. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions, etc. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's parse the job description. Job Title: Industrial Automation Engineer (not used as heading) Job Description paragraph: "This Industrial Automation Engineer role supports the Autonomous Manufacturing & Deployment organization by planning, developing, and deploying automation solutions that enhance material flow, labor efficiency, safety, and overall operational performance within a high-volume assembly manufacturing environment. You will focus heavily on front-end analysis, material flow optimization, and solution development, while remaining engaged throughout implementation, launch, and stabilization of automation systems. The position requires a blend of strong analytical and problem-solving skills with practical experience in manufacturing operations and automation initiatives, working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver scalable and effective automation solutions." That's prose; we can put in
. Then "Responsibilities" heading: list of responsibilities bullet points. We need to output
Responsibilities
then- each bullet.
Next "Essential Skills" heading: list of bullet points (skills). Could be considered "Skills" or "Requirements". The instruction says we can use headings like Skills, Requirements, Qualifications. We need to decide.
We have "Essential Skills" and "Additional Skills & Qualifications". Also "Work Environment", "Job Type & Location", "Pay And Benefits", "Workplace Type", "Application Deadline", "About Actalent" etc.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can include sections: About the role (maybe from description), Responsibilities, Skills (Essential Skills), Additional Skills & Qualifications (maybe combine?), Work Environment, Pay and Benefits, Job Type & Location (maybe location and contract type), Workplace Type (onsite), maybe Application Deadline? The instruction says include Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections only if posting actually states them. Pay is stated. Benefits are stated. Schedule? Not mentioned. So we should not include Schedule.
We should not include sections like "About the role" if we have description already? The description is essentially about the role. Could use "About the role" heading with that paragraph. Or we could just put the description as a
without heading? The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests we can have About the role heading. So we can include that. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out the "About Actalent" section (that's boilerplate about company) and the equal opportunity statements, accommodation, San Francisco Fair Chance, Massachusetts Lie Detector, Use of AI, etc. Also "Application Deadline" maybe considered not boilerplate? It's a specific date; could be included? The instruction says remove application instructions. Application deadline is not exactly instruction but could be considered metadata. It says "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." Application deadline is minor metadata; we could fold into a short
or drop it. Probably better to drop it, as it's not essential. But we could include as a
under maybe "Job Details". However instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe drop it. Similarly "Work Environment" is substantive; we can include. "Job Type & Location": Contract position based out of Warren, MI. That's substantive; we could include as a short
maybe under a heading like "Job Details". But we have headings list: we could use "Job Type & Location" as a heading? Not in the list but we could still use
for any section heading? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive; we can use other headings as needed but better to stick to those. However we could incorporate job type and location into a
under About the role or maybe under a "Details" paragraph. But we need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include that info somewhere. We could add a
after About the role that says "Job Type: Contract. Location: Warren, MI." That preserves. Similarly Workplace Type: fully onsite position in Warren, MI. That's redundant with location; we could note it's fully onsite. We could combine. Pay And Benefits: we have pay range and benefits list. We'll make a
Pay and Benefits
thenfor pay range, then
- for benefits.
We must not include schedule.
We must not include "Application Deadline".
We must not include "About Actalent" etc.
