for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting.

SPS provides support to the Medical Center - Bonham - Ft Worth Outpatient Clinic (FWOPC) - Garland and Tyler Outpatient Clinic." That's about the role. Could be "About the role". We'll put that in

Benefits: Paid Time Off details, Parental Leave, Child Care Subsidy, Retirement, Insurance, Telework not available (but that's a negative; maybe we can include but it's not a benefit).

Qualifications: Preferred Experience etc. Could be separate "Qualifications" section for preferred qualifications. But we already have Requirements for basic. Might combine? The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need separate Requirements and Qualifications sections. Requirements likely basic requirements. Qualifications likely preferred/experience etc. Thus: - About the role: summary paragraph. - Responsibilities: duties list (the long list under Duties). Use
