Laboratory Assistant

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Position Overview, Primary Department, Primary Work Shift, Weekly Hours, Compensation Range, Job Responsibilities (Essential Functions, Scope And Impact, Compliance And Professional, Additional Expectations), Required Position Qualifications, Why You’ll Love Working at UHS (benefits etc), About United Health Services (company overview). We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content to these headings appropriately. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have Pay (Compensation Range) and Schedule (Primary Work Shift, Weekly Hours). Benefits: there is a "Why You’ll Love Working at UHS" describing benefits. Also maybe "About United Health Services" could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be Position Overview. We'll use that. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use

  . We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to decide what goes into each section. Section headings allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can combine some: e.g., Requirements could include Required Position Qualifications. Qualifications maybe same as Requirements? But we can have both if content distinct. However we should avoid thin sections. Perhaps we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But rules: we can use those headings if we have content. We'll decide. We have: - Position Overview (About the role) - Primary Department, Division, Or Unit (maybe part of About the role) - Primary Work Shift, Weekly Hours (Schedule) - Compensation Range (Pay) - Job Responsibilities (Responsibilities) includes Essential Functions, Scope And Impact, Compliance And Professional, Additional Expectations. - Required Position Qualifications (Requirements/Qualifications) - Why You’ll Love Working at UHS (Benefits) - About United Health Services (maybe About the role? but we already have About the role; could be separate "About the company" but not in allowed headings. Could omit or fold into About the role? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not exhaustive. So we could add other headings if needed, but better to stick to those. We could treat About United Health Services as part of About the role or maybe as a separate "About the company" but not listed; maybe we can omit because not required? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include that info somewhere. Could put under About the role as additional paragraph. We also have "Why You’ll Love Working at UHS" which includes benefits, culture, etc. That fits Benefits. We have no explicit Skills section; we could omit. We have no explicit Requirements separate from Qualifications; we could combine. Thus sections: About the role (Position Overview + Primary Department + maybe About United Health Services), Responsibilities (Job Responsibilities), Requirements (Required Position Qualifications), Benefits (Why You’ll Love Working at UHS), Pay (Compensation Range), Schedule (Primary Work Shift, Weekly Hours). We must not include headings with filler text. All have content. Now format. We need to use

  for each section heading. Inside each section, we need to use

  for prose, and

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. We need to decide what constitutes a list. Responsibilities: many bullet-like sentences but not formatted as list. We could turn each responsibility into
  • . The posting has "Essential Functions:" then a list of items separated by line breaks. We'll treat each as
  • . Also Scope And Impact, Compliance And Professional, Additional Expectations each have bullet-like sentences. We could combine all responsibilities into one list? Might be long but okay. However we need to preserve all substantive info; we can break into subheadings? Not allowed because only

    headings. Could use

    for subheadings? Not specified. We could keep as

    paragraphs. But rule: Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. If we choose not to make a list, we can use

      . But we have many items; better to use list. We'll create a

      with each responsibility item as
