We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections with real content. The posting includes: Who We Are (could be About the role? Actually "Who We Are" is about organization, maybe "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map sections accordingly. We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. No Job ID etc. We need to include sections only if posting has real specific content. Let's extract content: - About the role / Who We Are: description of ACC, mission, stats, etc. That's substantive. - Responsibilities: list of duties (triage, history taking, evening rounds, administer drugs, LVT exams, interpret clinical info, peripheral blood sampling, IV catheter, pharmacology, diagnostics, sample collection, necropsy assistance, record drug activity, guidance to team, document in Shelter Buddy, liaise with 3rd party hospitals, document cruelty cases, communicate, obtain euthanasia certification, Fear Free certification, other duties). That's a list. - Required Qualifications: Associates or bachelor’s degree in veterinary technology, or foreign equivalent recognized by NYS. Licensure in NYS to practice veterinary technology. Eligibility for and willingness to apply for euthanasia technician certification. Must be able to lift at least 50 lbs and stand for prolonged periods of time. - Preferred Qualifications: Good written and oral communication skills. Critical thinking and problem-solving skills, able to multi-task and prioritize. Dependable, reliable, and efficient. - Benefits: PTO package (vacation, birthdays off, personal days, sick pay). Cigna medical dental vision insurance low premium. 401K and Pension, Life Insurance. On-the-job training 2-4 weeks, periodic all staff training (safety, DEI, cross training, growth). PSLF eligibility. Full-time LVT get $200 annual benefit for continued education, conferences, license renewals, plus 2 extra days off. Part-time LVT who work 2 shifts a week get $100 and 1 extra day. Also mention link for more details (we can keep mention but not the link? Probably keep mention but not actual URL? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we can keep the sentence "Please use this link for more details on our benefits package." That's substantive? It's a reference; we can keep it. - Pay: Not mentioned explicitly. No salary or pay info. So we should NOT create Pay section. - Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly (though it's overnight role). The posting says "Licensed Veterinary Technician Overnight". It mentions overnight shift but not schedule details like hours. Might be considered schedule? It says "Overnight" but not explicit schedule like "12am-8am". Since not explicit, we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does state "Overnight" but not specifics. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits we have content, so we include Benefits. Schedule: we have mention of overnight but not explicit schedule; maybe we can treat as part of role description? Safer to not create Schedule section. - Skills: Could be derived from Preferred Qualifications? But we have a separate Skills section optional. The instruction: use headings for Skills if there is content. We could put Preferred Qualifications under Skills? But we already have Preferred Qualifications; maybe we treat that as Skills. However we have both Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into Qualifications section (including both required and preferred). The instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, etc. We can have a Qualifications section that includes both required and preferred. Or we could have Requirements (maybe required) and Qualifications (preferred). But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's decide: Use "Requirements" for required qualifications, and "Qualifications" for preferred qualifications? Or "Qualifications" for both required and preferred? The examples list both Requirements and Qualifications as separate possible headings. We'll create Requirements (required) and Qualifications (preferred). That seems reasonable. - Skills: Could be omitted if not explicit. We have preferred qualifications that include communication, critical thinking, etc. Those could be considered skills. But we already have Qualifications (preferred). Might be okay to not have Skills. - About the role: We'll put "About the role" heading with the Who We Are description plus maybe summary of role? The posting also has a Summary section describing role. Could combine under About the role. We'll include the Who Are and the Summary (the paragraph about overnight LVT). That's substantive. - Responsibilities: as list. - Requirements: list. - Qualifications: list (preferred). - Benefits: list. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll need to wrap content in appropriate tags:

About the role

then

... maybe multiple paragraphs. For lists:

  • ...
. We must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like numbers, percentages, etc. Let's extract exact text for each section. About the role / Who We Are + Summary: Original: "Who We Are ACC is one of the nation’s largest open-admission animal shelters, whose mission is to End Animal Homelessness in NYC. We touch the lives of nearly 30,000 animals each year. ACC is more than an animal shelter; we are a resource to the community, always seeking ways to keep the human-animal bond intact. With a 90% placement rate, our progressive, life-saving initiatives contribute to the successful placement of our animals. We strive to find loving homes for homeless and abandoned cats, dogs, guinea pigs and rabbits, both by adopting animals directly to the public and by partnering with more than 200 dedicated animal placement organizations (our New Hope partners). We also help keep NYC communities safe and rescue animals in need, responding to emergencies that involve animals as well as keeping our doors open 24/7 for people and animals in need." Then Summary: "Animal Care Centers of NYC, the city’s only open admission animal shelter, is open 24 hours for emergency intakes. Our city agency partners may bring in animals that are injured, sick, abandoned or victims of cruelty and many need medical attention. They come in all shapes, sizes, and walk, slither, crawl and hop. Working with the on-call veterinarian, the overnight LVT ensures that these patients get the support they require for a successful outcome. This role necessitates advanced technical knowledge as you are the eyes and ears for the doctor who is managing the cases remotely. In addition, you will assist in the provision of emergent care for any animal residing in the shelter that may need attention overnight, including animals in our advanced treatment facility that may be critical care cases. You manage treatment plan of hospitalized patients, performs diagnostics (x-ray, in-house laboratory) and obtains sampling (blood, swabbing), administers medications via all routes, and may need to assist in emergency procedures. Must be a self-starter with the ability to think critically in order to be a stakeholder in the patients’ treatment plans. Works well independently but as part of a team to ensure timely, quality medical care for all animals in the shelter." We'll combine into a few paragraphs. Responsibilities: list from "Responsibilities:" onward until "Preferred Qualifications:" maybe. Let's copy responsibilities bullet points: - Triage of cases that come in on the overnight and liaise with the on-call veterinary for treatment plan. - History taking – many animals that come in overnight arrive via a city agency and their history is a mystery. Your investigative skills help uncover details. - Performs evening rounds. - Administer drugs and vaccines by all routes as directed by the staff veterinarian. - Perform LVT examinations in SOAP format as needed. - Interpret clinical information and think critically to act swiftly and accordingly. - Regularly perform peripheral blood sampling and IV catheter placement. - Demonstrate knowledge of pharmacology when preparing and administering drugs – including drug class, medical dosing calculations, contraindications, and adverse reactions. - Obtain diagnostics as ordered by veterinarians (radiographs, bloodwork, urine sampling, cultures, etc.). - Collect appropriate samples and perform basic laboratory tests which may include rabies prep. - Assist in performance of necropsy, as needed. - Properly record all drug activity, DEA logs, and statistics, as required by law and ACC policy. - Provide guidance to overnight team through mentorship and demonstrated professionalism. - Under the direction of a veterinarian, accurately document medical exam findings, vaccinations, medications, surgery information and treatments in Shelter Buddy medical records. - Liaise with 3rd party veterinary hospitals if cases are referred and transported. - Assist in the documentation of cruelty cases and collect evidence. - Communicate effectively, cordially, and promptly within and outside of the department. - Required to obtain ACC-provided euthanasia certification in order to perform the humane euthanasia of animals when needed. - Fear Free certification required within 30 days of hire. - Complete other duties as assigned by supervisor. We'll put each as
  • . Requirements (required qualifications): - Associates or bachelor’s degree in veterinary technology, or foreign equivalent recognized by NYS. - Licensure in NYS to practice veterinary technology. - Eligibility for and willingness to apply for euthanasia technician certification. - Must be able to lift at least 50 lbs and stand for prolonged periods of time. Qualifications (preferred): - Good written and oral communication skills. - Critical thinking and problem-solving skills, able to multi-task and prioritize. - Dependable, reliable, and efficient. Benefits: We need to capture all benefit details: "Animal Care Centers value work/life balance and offers a generous paid-time-off (PTO) package that includes vacation time, birthdays off, personal days and sick pay. We also value physical and mental health by offering a great open access Cigna medical, dental and vision insurance at a low premium to our employees as well as 401K and Pension, Life Insurance. We also have on-the-job training for 2-4 weeks, periodic all staff training to include safety, DEI, cross training, and other growth opportunities. Because ACC is a nonprofit, employees may be eligible for loan forgiveness, cancellation, and/or consolidation under the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program (PSLF). Created under the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007, PSLF allows borrowers who work full time for nonprofits and government agencies to have their outstanding debt forgiven tax-free on Federal Direct Loans, after making 120 qualifying monthly payments under a qualifying repayment plan. Full-time Licensed Veterinary Technicians will receive an annual benefit of $200 for continued education courses, conferences, or license renewals to be used in a fiscal year and an extra 2 days toward their time off balance specifically for continued education. Part-time Licensed Veterinary Technicians who work 2 shifts a week, will be awarded $100 to be used in a fiscal year for continued education and 1 additional day to their time off balance specifically for continued education. Please use this link for more details on our benefits package." Also there is "Top 3 reasons our LVT's like working at ACC:" which is not a benefit but could be considered a section? Could be "Why work at ACC" but not in allowed headings. Might be omitted or could be included under About the role? It's substantive but not a standard heading. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could include as a separate section maybe "Why work at ACC" but not in allowed headings list.
