Lead Doctor - Hoboken, NJ
for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
- Use - for lists
- Use
for prose
- Don't repeat job title as heading
- Don't put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings
- Preserve ALL substantive information
- Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions)
- Include section ONLY when posting has real, specific content
- Never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text
- Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them
- Output ONLY HTML fragment
Looking at the content:
- "ABOUT VEG" - company background, could be "About the company" but not a standard heading. Might fold into a brief intro paragraph or skip.
- "THE JOB" - this is "About the role"
- "WHAT YOU'LL DO" - Responsibilities (list)
- "WHAT YOU NEED" - Requirements/Qualifications (list)
- "WHO YOU ARE" - Skills/Attributes (list)
- "HOW WE INVEST IN YOU" - Benefits (list with details)
- "DEI" - Diversity statement, could be a section
Pay is mentioned: "$160,000 - 200,000" so Pay section is warranted.
Schedule is mentioned: "Flexible work schedules", "Availability to work nights, weekends, and holidays on a rotating or as needed basis" so Schedule section warranted.
Benefits are detailed.
I should structure:
- About the role (from THE JOB)
- Responsibilities (from WHAT YOU'LL DO)
- Requirements (from WHAT YOU NEED - the degree, experience, etc.)
- Qualifications (maybe combine with Requirements? The rules list both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. "WHAT YOU NEED" includes both hard requirements and preferences. I'll use "Requirements" for the list.)
- Skills (from WHO YOU ARE - soft skills)
- Benefits (from HOW WE INVEST IN YOU)
- Pay (from compensation range)
- Schedule (from availability/flexible schedules)
- Diversity & Inclusion (from DEI)
But the rules say: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications? The posting has "WHAT YOU NEED" which includes both must-haves and preferred. I'll use "Requirements" for that list.
"WHO YOU ARE" is clearly soft skills/attributes - "Skills" heading.
"HOW WE INVEST IN YOU" is benefits.
Pay is explicit: $160,000 - 200,000.
Schedule: mentions nights, weekends, holidays, rotating, flexible.
DEI: substantive content.
Now, I need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences.
Let me write the HTML.
First, maybe a brief intro paragraph about the company? The rules say "do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". The job title is "Lead Emergency Veterinarian". The posting starts with "ABOUT VEG". I could include a short
about the company, but not as a heading. Or I could skip it since it's not a standard job section. The rules say "Preserve ALL substantive information". The company description is substantive. I'll include a
at the beginning.
Then sections with

Diversity & Inclusion
At VEG, diversity is not just a word—it's a strength that fuels innovation and kindness. Our mission is "Helping people and their pets when they need it most."

That's why we're devoted to creating an environment that reflects the diverse communities we serve—where different perspectives are not only welcomed but celebrated. We are focused on providing equitable opportunities for growth, promoting inclusive decision-making, and ensuring that everyone's perspective is considered. Saying yes to VEG means helping us build a culture where your unique experiences and background contribute to a shared vision: being the world's veterinary emergency company.
But note: The Pay section is already mentioned in Benefits. The rules say "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting states compensation range in Benefits. It's okay to have a separate Pay section? The rules say "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". So Pay is a suggested heading. Since the posting explicitly states a range, I'll include Pay section. But the Benefits list already includes the compensation line. I could keep it in Benefits and also have a Pay section? That might be duplication. Better to have Pay section with the range, and in Benefits, maybe keep the other benefits but not repeat the compensation? The rules: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So I should keep the compensation detail in Benefits as it appears, and also have a Pay section? That would duplicate. I think it's better to have a Pay section with the range, and in Benefits, list the other benefits but maybe omit the compensation line? However, the original text includes it as part
