We need to output HTML fragment only, with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions, duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Also remove "Next Steps", "Career Opportunities", "Notices", etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's parse the posting. Content: Intro paragraph: "At McCarthy & Holthus, LLP, and our affiliate companies, we have years of expertise in representing financial institutions across a wide range of banking law matters, and we’re looking for passionate, driven candidates to join our dynamic team! With offices in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, and Washington, we offer opportunities across multiple locations. Our workplace is more than just a job – it’s a supportive, collaborative environment where your contributions truly matter. You’ll be part of a team that values hard work, creativity, and dedication, while enjoying a strong sense of community. We offer performance-based bonuses, competitive compensation, and a range of incentives that reward your success. Plus, with generous benefits, enhanced employer contributions, and paid time off, we prioritize your well-being and work-life balance." That's about the role/company. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put the intro under

About the role

. Then "Summary: Under direct supervision, provides a wide variety of legal work in support of group of legal assistants/attorneys to include preparing, checking and processing legal forms, documents, and related material, locating and abstracting information form legal files and records, and gathering and organizing relevant material for use in legal proceedings; and performs related duties." That's also part of role description; could be included under About the role or Responsibilities. Since we have a Responsibilities section later, we can put summary under About the role as well. Then "Key Responsibilities:" list bullet points: - Data entry/file intake and auditing legal referrals. - Scheduling legal sales. - Respond to and/or initiate communications with clients. - Adherence to legislative, investor, and client driven foreclosure timelines. - Updating servicer processing systems. - Generation of Foreclosure documents. - Answering incoming calls. - May perform other duties as assigned to support department goals. - May occasionally work extended hours based on operational needs. We need to put these under

Responsibilities

with
  • . Then "Experience and Skills:" list: - 1+ years of experience in Texas legal processes and associated documents. - Knowledge of various servicer legal processing systems (LPS, Lenstar, Tempo, etc). - Excellent customer service. - Ability to rapidly adapt to change. - Extremely detail oriented. - Succeeds in working in a fast-paced, high volume, team environment. - Timeline management skills. - Production oriented. We need to decide where to put these. The headings include Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could split: Requirements could be the experience (1+ years). Qualifications could be knowledge of systems. Skills could be the rest. But we need to avoid thin sections; maybe combine into one

    Requirements

    with list. However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have one section for Requirements/Qualifications/Skills combined. But we have headings list; we can choose to use only those that have content. Could use

    Requirements

    for the experience and knowledge, and

    Skills

    for the soft skills. That would be two sections, each substantive. But we also have Work Schedule, Salary Range, Benefits sections. Work Schedule: "The work week is typically Monday through Friday, with business hours from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Employees are required to be onsite 2-3 days per week following a 90-day training period and upon management approval." That's schedule specifics. So we can have

    Schedule

    with paragraph. Salary Range: "The salary for this position typically ranges from $20.00-$23.00 an hour, depending on qualifications, experience, and other factors. Please note that the final offer may differ based on the candidate's specific qualifications, skills, and experience, as well as internal equity and business needs." That's pay. So

    Pay

    with paragraph. Benefits: "McCarthy & Holthus, LLP, and affiliated companies promote work/life balance with a robust wellness program, PTO, remote work, and flexible schedules (when available). Full-time employees become eligible for benefits following a 30-day waiting period, with benefit offerings that include medical, dental, vision, life, AD&D, EAP, STD, and LTD. Additionally the firm provides parental leave for both primary and non-primary caregivers as well. Also available are voluntary income protection benefits such as supplemental life, accident, critical illness, and short and long-term care insurances, as well as a 401(k)-retirement plan with a company match. Part-time employees may have access to some of these benefits, which may be on a pro-rated basis." That's benefits. So

    Benefits

    with paragraph (maybe list but we can keep as paragraph). Could also list but not required. We also have Security Requirement, Work Environment, etc. Those are not in the heading list; we could ignore them as they are not requested headings. But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop substantive info unless it's not covered by headings? The instruction: "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says use those headings for sections. It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings for sections; we could also add other headings if needed, but better to stick to those. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; if we omit Security Requirement and Work Environment, we lose info. But maybe those are considered boilerplate? They are not exactly boilerplate; they are substantive about security and work environment. The instruction didn't list them as example headings, but we could still include them as

    sections if we want to preserve. However the instruction says "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but the examples are those. It might be okay to add other headings if needed. But the instruction also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could incorporate Security Requirement and Work Environment into existing sections like About the role or Responsibilities. For example, Security Requirement could be part of Responsibilities or Requirements. Work Environment could be part of About the role. Thus we can incorporate them. We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to cut out the EEO paragraph, the Fair Chance Ordinance, E-Verify, etc. Also "Next Steps: Ready to take the next step? Apply now..." and "Career Opportunities - McCarthy Holthus, LLP Notices:" etc. Also the "As part of our commitment..." etc. Also the "Applications will be accepted until 10/31/2026". All that is application instructions or boilerplate; remove. Also remove duplicated lines (like repeated "We offer performance-based bonuses..." maybe not duplicated). Ensure we keep all substantive info. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:
