Integration Analyst
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. We need to decide what content goes where.
The posting includes: Position Overview (we can map to About the role). Then Key Responsibilities (multiple bullet points grouped). Then Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications (these could go under Requirements and Qualifications? Actually they said Requirements, Qualifications, Skills as possible headings. We have Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications; we could combine into Qualifications section. Also there is a list of Common Skills & Technologies which could go under Skills. Also there is "What Success Looks Like" and "Ideal Candidate" maybe could be part of About the role or separate? But we should only create sections when there is real specific content. We could include a section for What Success Looks Like (maybe as part of About the role). But better to follow the given headings list. We can include About the role (Position Overview + What Success Looks Like + Ideal Candidate). Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities). Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications). Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications). Skills (Common Skills & Technologies). Benefits (Benefits overview). Ensure we don't create empty sections.
We must use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities we need a list. For qualifications we need list. For skills we need list. For benefits we need list.
We must use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, application instructions, etc. Also remove the "Everforth Apex Benefits Overview:" heading? We'll keep benefits content.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all bullet points from responsibilities, qualifications, skills, benefits.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract content.

We need to output HTML with sections.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. So we stop before that.
We'll produce:
About the role
Position Overview paragraph + maybe What Success Looks Like and Ideal Candidate? But we could keep them separate? The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should stick to those. However we can include additional headings if needed? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests we should use those headings for sections. It doesn't say we cannot use other headings, but better to follow the pattern. We can embed What Success Looks Like and Ideal Candidate within About the role as prose.
Thus About the role will contain the Position Overview paragraph, then maybe a paragraph about What Success Looks Like (we could make a

Could we put them under a separate heading like "What Success Looks Like"? That's not in the example list but maybe allowed. The instruction says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but it says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should avoid many thin sections. So we could incorporate What Success Looks Like and Ideal Candidate into About the role as prose paragraphs, but we must preserve the bullet points exactly. We can turn them into a - list inside About

Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, application instructions, etc. Also remove the "Everforth Apex Benefits Overview:" heading?
