We need to output HTML fragment with sections: only include sections that have real specific content. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. From posting: - FT/PT Status – Full-Time Benefits Eligibility – This position is eligible for a full benefits package. Salary – $18.55 - $20.74 Hourly Wage Remote Work / In-Office – In-Office / On-Site Recruiter – Kendra Keller | kendrakeller@utah.gov | Application Deadline – 9/24/2026* ... This is metadata; we can fold into short

maybe. - Key Responsibilities: list. - Qualifications: includes description of Youth Development Associate and Specialist, with salary ranges. - About The Role: location, background check, drug test, schedule code, etc. - Why You Should Join Our Team: includes benefits description. - Other Benefits May Include: list of benefits. - The Agency: description. - Supplemental Information: high risks etc. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (location, background check, drug test, schedule code). Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities). Qualifications (the qualifications text). Skills? Not explicitly listed; maybe we can infer from responsibilities but better not to create unless explicit. Benefits: there is "Other Benefits May Include:" and also "Why You Should Join Our Team" includes benefits. Also "Benefits Eligibility – This position is eligible for a full benefits package." So we can have Benefits section with list. Pay: we have salary ranges: $18.55 - $20.74 Hourly Wage (but also associate and specialist ranges). We can include Pay section with those numbers. Schedule: we have Remote Work / In-Office – In-Office / On-Site. Also schedule code B - Competitive Career Service. Could include Schedule section. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from posting, but we can reorganize into sections. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to drop EEO statement, application deadline? Actually application deadline is metadata; we can fold into short

maybe. The instruction "Applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible." is application instruction; drop. Also "This job posting may close at any time after the minimum advertising period..." drop. We need to keep substantive info: FT/PT status, benefits eligibility, salary, remote/in-office, recruiter contact maybe? Recruiter info is minor metadata; we can fold into short

or drop. Probably keep as part of metadata paragraph. Key Responsibilities list: we need to keep each bullet. Qualifications: keep details about Associate and Specialist, including salary ranges, experience, education, driver's license, preference, qualifying work experience, non-qualifying. About The Role: location, background check required, drug test required, schedule code B - Competitive Career Service. Why You Should Join Our Team: includes statements about work/life balance, etc. Also "Other Benefits May Include:" list. The Agency: description. Supplemental Information: high risks etc. We need to decide which sections to output. Could combine some: About the role could include location, background check, drug test, schedule code. Benefits could include the benefits list from "Other Benefits May Include:" plus the statement about full benefits package. Pay could include salary ranges. Schedule could include In-Office/On-Site and schedule code. But we must not create sections with filler. All have content. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll produce something like:

We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. We removed those. Check for any duplicated lines: we have not repeated. Check for any placeholder like "commensurate with experience": none. Check for any missing info: we included location, background check, drug test, schedule code, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule, agency, supplemental info. Also we included recruiter contact in opening paragraph. That's okay. We need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The "Why You Should Join Our Team" paragraph about work/life balance etc. We omitted that. Is that substantive? It's a description of culture. Could be considered substantive. Should we include it? It's not under a standard heading but could be part of Benefits or About the role? The instruction says we should include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. The "Why You Should Join Our Team" is a section with content about culture. Could be placed under a heading like "About the team" but not in our list. We have headings limited to the given list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could fold that content into Benefits or About the role? It's about culture/work-life balance. Could be part of Benefits? Not exactly. Could be part of About the role? Might be okay to include under About the role as additional description. But we already have About the role with location etc. We could add a paragraph about work/life balance there. Similarly "Other Benefits May Include:" we already captured in Benefits. We also have "The Agency" description; we could put under About the role? But we have a separate heading The Agency not in list. Could fold into About the role or maybe we can create a section "About the agency" but not allowed headings. So we should fold into About the role or maybe Benefits? Better to add a paragraph under About the role describing the agency. Similarly Supplemental Information about high risks could be added to About the role or Responsibilities? Probably About the role. We need to preserve all substantive info; we can't drop it. So we need to incorporate those pieces into existing sections. Let's restructure: Opening paragraph: FT/PT status, benefits eligibility, salary, remote/in-office, recruiter. About the role: include location, background check, drug test, schedule code, agency description, work/life balance statement, supplemental info (high risks), maybe also "Why You Should Join Our Team" content. But we must not create sections with filler. So we can have About the role with all that. Responsibilities: as is. Qualifications: as is. Benefits: as is. Pay: as is. Schedule: as is. We need to ensure we didn't duplicate info. Let's craft About the role paragraph(s) maybe multiple

tags. We'll include: - Location - Background check required - Drug test required - Schedule code - Agency description (Department of Health and Human Services, J
