We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections that have real content: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, application instructions, etc. Also remove navigation/cookie/legal. Also remove duplicated lines. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse job description. Job Description text includes: "The Berkshire Athenaeum is looking for a new Supervisor of Adult Services and Programming to lead a department including two full-time professional librarians as well as tremendous part-time staff. Current projects include a Connected & Online digital equity grant, redesigning our public spaces and services, updated 3D printing capabilities, and outreach events. If you are a strategic thinker with a patron focus who is looking to lead a friendly, knowledgeable, supportive staff, come help us build our services. Our community, Trustees, and Friends are collaborative and ready to support someone who can imagine the future to engage new and wider audiences. This is a full-time position working thirty-five hours per week." That's about the role. Could be "About the role" heading. Responsibilities: list of bullet points after "Responsibilities". Let's extract each sentence as bullet. Responsibilities list: - Provides training and supervision of both full- and part-time staff and professional attention and assistance to the public. - Works independently and is self-motivated. - Reviews literature, surveys personnel, and confers with Library Director to determine departmental needs, assess current program, propose, and implement changes for improved operations. - Plans, schedules, promotes, and executes programs, events, and exhibits. - Builds relationships with community partners and provides leadership for the department's community engagement efforts. - Oversees technology engagement and services and supervises a service desk tasked with direct patron support. - Monitors departmental expenditures for personnel and library materials; and prepares monthly and yearly statistical reports. - Applies problem-solving abilities to appropriate circumstances; routinely addressing complaints and resolving problems. - Performs complex Internet and other computer searches. Uses the department’s office and/or computer equipment and resources, routinely offers training for its use, and conducts basic diagnostic and maintenance procedures. - Works with lay advisory groups as may be appropriate. - Uses the department’s audio-visual, office, and/or computer equipment and resources, routinely offers training to staff and/or public in its use, and conducts basic diagnostic and maintenance procedures. - Other duties as assigned, including preservation, clerical and shelving tasks as needed Note there is duplication: "Uses the department’s office and/or computer equipment..." appears twice? Actually appears in two bullet points: one after "Performs complex Internet..." and later again. We should keep both? They are similar but maybe distinct: first mentions training for its use, second mentions training to staff and/or public. We'll keep both as separate bullets. Qualifications: list after "Qualifications". Let's extract. - Master's degree in Library Science. - Exceptional candidates with a combination of related experience and education will be considered. - Specialized knowledge of library operations, procedures, and services - Demonstrated organizational and problem-solving skills - Dynamic and self-motivated - Progressively responsible library experience, including management and supervisory experience - Comfortable learning about and using new and changing library technology - Knowledge of reference services and current print and electronic reference resources - Ability to discern patrons needs, and ability to communicate clearly when answering questions and providing information, ensuring patron understanding. - Understanding of integrated library systems, computing, basic hardware and software for initial troubleshooting. - Skill in personal time management, and demonstrated patience and skill in dealing with general public. - Basic arithmetic, as well as general knowledge of office procedures Also "Company Description" is not required as heading; we could include as "About the organization" but not required headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put company description under "About the role" or maybe a separate "About the organization" but not in list; better to incorporate into About the role or maybe omit if not needed. The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., not limited to those, but we should prefer those. We can include "About the role" covering the introductory paragraph. Could also add "About the organization" but not required; better to stick to given list. Benefits: list after "Benefits". Let's extract. - Direct Deposit - Free Permitted Parking - Employee Assistance Program - Tuition Reimbursement Program - Opportunities for Professional Development - Health Insurance - Vision, Dental, and Life Insurance Options - Retirement Savings Plans - Up to 13 paid Holidays - Personal Days - Vacation Time - Earned Sick Leave - Bereavement Leave - Berkshire Athenaeum Employees Association Collective Bargaining unit - Foreign Language Incentive Pay Pay: Not mentioned. So we should NOT create Pay section. Schedule: The posting says "This is a full-time position working thirty-five hours per week." That's schedule info. So we can create a Schedule section with that statement. We must not include boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove "Application Deadline 2026-10-14 Priority Consideration ends Wednesday, October 14, 2026". That's application instruction; remove. Also remove "Company Description" maybe we can incorporate into About the role? But we have separate "About the role" already; we could add a brief about organization there. However we should not invent headings not in list. Could add a paragraph under About the role that includes the company description. That's fine. We need to preserve all substantive information; we must not lose any. So we need to include the company description somewhere. Could add a paragraph after the About the role intro. Thus About the role section will contain: - Intro paragraph about the role. - Then maybe a paragraph about the organization (company description). Ensure we keep all details. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /. Use

for each section heading, then content:

for prose,

  • for lists. We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "Supervisor of Adult Services and Programming". Not used as heading. Now construct. Sections:

    About the role

    The Berkshire Athenaeum is looking for a new Supervisor of Adult Services and Programming to lead a department including two full-time professional librarians as well as tremendous part-time staff. Current projects include a Connected & Online digital equity grant, redesigning our public spaces and services, updated 3D printing capabilities, and outreach events. If you are a strategic thinker with a patron focus who is looking to lead a friendly, knowledgeable, supportive staff, come help us build our services. Our community, Trustees, and Friends are collaborative and ready to support someone who can imagine the future to engage new and wider audiences. This is a full-time position working thirty-five hours per week.

    Nestled in the heart of the Berkshires, the City of Pittsfield is a vibrant and welcoming community that blends rich history with a forward-thinking outlook. As the cultural and economic hub of the region, Pittsfield offers a dynamic environment where innovation and tradition coexist harmoniously. Our city government is committed to fostering a high quality of life for all residents by delivering essential services, promoting sustainable growth, and championing a diverse and inclusive community. Working for the City of Pittsfield means being part of a team dedicated to public service and making a real difference in the lives of our citizens. We pride ourselves on our collaborative approach, where employees are encouraged to contribute ideas and take initiative. Whether it’s enhancing public safety, improving infrastructure, or supporting our vibrant arts scene, every role within our organization plays a vital part in shaping the future of our city. We are an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer committed to promoting a multicultural work force, excellence in public service, and on-going mutual respect in our working relationships. Minorities are encouraged to apply. We strongly encourage people of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ community, and people from other underrepresented groups to apply for our open positions - recognizing and respecting that diverse perspectives and experiences are valuable to our team and essential to our public service. Join us in our mission to build a stronger, more connected Pittsfield, where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

    But note: The company description includes EEO statement which we are supposed to remove: "We are an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer committed to promoting a multicultural work force, excellence in public service, and on-going mutual respect in our working relationships. Minorities are encouraged to apply. We strongly encourage people of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ community, and people from other underrepresented groups to apply for our open positions - recognizing and respecting that diverse perspectives and experiences are valuable to our team and essential to our public service." That's EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate; we must remove it. Also the earlier sentence about "Working for the City of Pittsfield means being part of a team dedicated to public service..." is okay. The EEO lines should be removed. Also the "Join us in our mission..." is okay (not EEO). So we need to strip those lines. Thus we need to keep the company description but remove the EEO statements. Let's extract company description without EEO: "Nestled in the heart of the Berkshires, the City of Pittsfield is a vibrant and welcoming community that blends rich history with a forward-thinking outlook. As the cultural and economic hub of the region, Pittsfield offers a dynamic environment where innovation and tradition coexist harmoniously. Our city government is committed to fostering a high quality of life for all residents by delivering essential services, promoting sustainable growth, and championing a diverse and inclusive community. Working for the City of Pittsfield means being part of a team dedicated to public service and making a real difference in the lives of our citizens. We pride ourselves on our collaborative approach, where employees are encouraged to contribute ideas and take initiative. Whether it’s enhancing public safety, improving infrastructure, or supporting our vibrant arts scene, every role within our organization plays a vital part in shaping the future of our city. Join us in our mission to build a stronger, more connected Pittsfield, where everyone has the opportunity to thrive." We removed the EEO sentences. Now Responsibilities section.
