We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like 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. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
Let's parse the posting.
Title: Licensed Psychologist Manager, Corrections.
Sections:
- THE POSITION: description about role, impact, etc. Could be "About the role". Contains prose.
- DESCRIPTION OF WORK: details duties. Could be "Responsibilities". Contains bullet list of duties.
- Work Schedule and Additional Information: includes schedule (Full-time, 37.5 hrs, 8-4 M-F, 30-min lunch, no telework). Also Salary mention: "In some cases, the starting salary may be non-negotiable." That's vague. Should we include Pay section? It says "In some cases, the starting salary may be non-negotiable." That's not a specific salary figure; it's vague. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state schedule specifics, so Schedule section is okay. Pay: they mention salary may be non-negotiable but no amount. That's not a specific figure; maybe we should not include Pay because it's not a concrete salary. The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). "In some cases, the starting salary may be non-negotiable." is vague but not exactly placeholder; still it's not a concrete number. Safer to omit Pay section.
- QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED EXPERIENCE, TRAINING & ELIGIBILITY: includes Minimum Experience and Training Requirements, Special Requirements, Other Requirements, Legal Requirements. That's qualifications.
- How to Apply: includes application instructions, which we must remove (application instructions). So we drop that.
- EXAMINATION INFORMATION: details about exam process. Could be considered part of Qualifications? Might be separate but maybe we can incorporate into Qualifications or a separate section like "Selection Process". But allowed headings are limited to those listed; we could put under "Qualifications" or maybe "Requirements". The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine exam info into Qualifications or Requirements.
- Also there is mention of Veterans, TRS, EEO boilerplate: remove.
- Also "Interested in learning more? Additional details regarding this position can be found in the position description ." That's a reference; we can drop as it's just a link reference.
- Also "You will receive further communication regarding this position via email. Check your email, including spam/junk folders, for these notices." That's application instruction; drop.
- Also "How to Apply: Resumes, cover letters, and similar documents will not be reviewed..." drop.
Thus we will have sections:
- About the role (from THE POSITION paragraph)
- Responsibilities (from DESCRIPTION OF WORK and bullet duties)
- Qualifications (combining qualifications requirements and exam information)
- Schedule (from Work Schedule and Additional Information)
We need to use
for sections like 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. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
