We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "Position Objective" and "Essential Job Duties", "Educational/Experience Requirements", "Required License/Certifications", "Knowledge, Skills, Abilities", "Working Conditions, Equipment, Physical Demands", "Pay Range", "Luminis Health Benefits Overview". Also includes some boilerplate about accommodations, etc. We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove "Reasonable accommodations may be made..." repeated? It appears multiple times; we should keep only one mention? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." But we can remove duplicated lines. So we need to keep the content but not duplicate identical sentences. We need to use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should map content to these headings appropriately. The posting doesn't have explicit sections like "About the role" but we can create sections based on content: "Position Objective" could be About the role. "Essential Job Duties" -> Responsibilities. "Educational/Experience Requirements" and "Required License/Certifications" -> Requirements/Qualifications. "Knowledge, Skills, Abilities" -> Skills. "Working Conditions, Equipment, Physical Demands" maybe could be part of Requirements or separate? There's no Schedule or Pay? Pay is present: "Pay Range $17.50—$26 USD". So we need a Pay section. Benefits: "Luminis Health Benefits Overview" -> Benefits. Schedule not present, so we should not create a Schedule section. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay is specific, so include. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to turn the duties into list items. Also requirements list. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract. Position Objective: "Provides support to the technical staff in the delivery of medical laboratory information related to diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases." Essential Job Duties (list): - Creates a work environment that positively promotes process improvement. - Explores opportunities to add value to job (innovative ideas) to benefit the organization and taking ownership of the outcome. - Proactively finds other work-related tasks during low census. - Maintains safe and clean working environment by complying with procedures, rules, and regulations. - Labels and disposes of biohazard and/or chemical waste according to regulatory guidelines. - Maintains inter- and intradepartmental work flow by fostering a spirit of cooperation (hand offs). - Maintains laboratory supplies inventory by checking stock to determine inventory level; anticipating needed supplies; placing and expediting orders for supplies; verifying receipt of supplies; and storing supplies according to manufacturer’s recommended conditions. - Conserves laboratory resources by using equipment and supplies as needed to accomplish job results. - Provides clinical laboratory information by answering questions and requests. - Participates in the training of new staff by serving as a mentor. - Determines and executes the best method for obtaining biological specimens from patients of all ages (if required) to include venipuncture, capillary, and heel-stick puncture to ensure quality specimen for testing. - Processes gynecological and non-gynecologic specimens for microscopic evaluation (if required), including instrument processing, staining, changing reagents, and cover-slipping. - Performs functions to established productivity guidelines with minimal errors. - Registers patients accurately in the Hospital Information System. - Orders or accessions appropriate tests as requested by an authorized provider by accurately reading and interpreting orders and being familiar with test mnemonics and components. - Responds to requests for lab results and sends appropriate scheduled reports. - Prepares aliquots and processes samples for referral to outside labs; distributes specimens to testing or processing locations according to established standard work. - Operates and maintains laboratory equipment. - Performs preventative maintenance and troubleshoots problems to the full extent of ability. - Actively participate in the laboratory quality plan/program (ex. investigative reports, notification of delays, etc.). - Performs quality controls and documents QC for each lab procedure on a daily basis and follows up on issues (troubleshoots). Educational/Experience Requirements: - High School graduate or equivalent - Six months experience working in an acute care facility in an equivalent role. Required License/Certifications: N/A (but then says MLA(ASCP) or PBT(ASCP), preferred.) So we need to capture that: Required License/Certifications: N/A; MLA(ASCP) or PBT(ASCP), preferred. Since N/A is not meaningful, but we should keep the preferred certifications. We can phrase as "Preferred: MLA(ASCP) or PBT(ASCP)". The required is N/A, but we can note that no specific license/certification required, but preferred are MLA(ASCP) or PBT(ASCP). We'll keep that. Knowledge, Skills, Abilities: - Ability to work cooperatively with all types of personalities both inside and outside the organization. - May require travel to various locations. Working Conditions, Equipment, Physical Demands: - There is a reasonable expectation that employees in this position will be exposed to blood-borne pathogens. - Physical Demands - The physical demands and work environment that have been described are representative of those an employee encounters while performing the essential functions of this position. - Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. - The above job description is an overview of the functions and requirements for this position. This document is not intended to be an exhaustive list encompassing every duty and requirement of this position; your supervisor may assign other duties as deemed necessary. Pay Range: $17.50—$26 USD Benefits: Luminis Health Benefits Overview includes list: - Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance - Retirement Plan (with employer match for employees who work more than 1000 hours in a calendar year) - Paid Time Off - Tuition Assistance - Benefits Employee Referral Bonus Program - Paid Holidays, Disability, and Life/AD&D for full-time employees - Wellness Programs - Employee Assistance Programs and more - Benefit offerings based on employment status - Opt-in for text notifications! Luminis Health's two-way SMS texting platform lets you receive notifications and messages from our Talent Acquisition team directly on your phone. To enable this feature, select "yes" when asked to "opt-in to receive text messages" and to "Receive updates from a recruiter about this job via SMS" when completing your application. Once you are opted in, you can easily opt-out at any time. Standard text messaging rates may apply based on the candidate's mobile carrier plan. Luminis Health is not responsible for any charges incurred by the recipient. Candidates are encouraged to review their mobile carrier's plan for applicable text messaging rates and usage charges. We need to remove application instructions and boilerplate like "Opt-in for text notifications!" etc. That's considered application instructions? It's about opting in for text notifications; it's part of benefits? Might be considered boilerplate but it's about benefits communication. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The opt-in text is more like application instructions (how to opt-in). So we should remove that entire paragraph about opt-in for text notifications. Also remove "Benefit offerings based on employment status" maybe keep as it's substantive? It's a statement about benefits varying by status; could keep. But we need to preserve substantive information. The opt-in instructions are application-related, so remove. Also remove duplicated lines: The phrase "Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions." appears twice (once in Essential Job Duties intro and again in Working Conditions). We should keep only one occurrence. We'll keep it in Working Conditions maybe. Also remove "The above job description is an overview..." maybe keep as it's substantive? It's a disclaimer; could be considered boilerplate but it's about the job description. Might be considered legal boilerplate. The instruction says remove legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. That line is a disclaimer about not exhaustive list; could be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove it. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; is that substantive? It's more of a disclaimer. I'd lean to remove it as it's not essential job info. But we need to be careful. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So that line is legal boilerplate, remove. Also "There is a reasonable expectation that employees in this position will be exposed to blood-borne pathogens." is substantive, keep. Now structure:
