We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The description includes Position Summary, Core Responsibilities, Branch Banking and Customer Support, Secondary Responsibilities, Bank Standards, Compensation & Benefits, Requirements (Qualifications, Experience, Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities), Salary Description.
We must use for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). However we can adapt headings to match content: "Position Summary" could be under About the role? The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). However we can adapt headings to match content: "Position Summary" could be under About the role? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests we should use those generic headings, but we can also use more specific if they match? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Probably they expect we use those exact headings when appropriate. But we need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (core responsibilities + branch support), Requirements (qualifications, experience, knowledge, skills), Benefits (compensation & benefits), Pay (salary range). Schedule not mentioned, so omit. Also we might have a Skills section separate from Requirements? Could combine.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like Disclaimer, EEO, etc. Also remove "Bank Standards" maybe? It's not a standard heading; could be part of About the role? But it's substantive: mission, ethics etc. Could be included under About the role or a separate section like "Company Culture". But not in list of allowed headings. Probably we should incorporate into About the role or maybe a separate "About the company". But instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those are typical. Safer to stick to those headings.
Thus sections:
- About the role: include Position Summary and maybe Bank Standards? Could include mission etc. But Bank Standards is separate; maybe we can put under About the role as a paragraph.
- Responsibilities: combine Core Responsibilities (Loan Servicing and Operational Support) and Branch Banking and Customer Support (20-30%) plus Secondary Responsibilities? Could include secondary responsibilities as part of responsibilities.
- Requirements: include Qualifications (Education, Experience) and Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities.
- Benefits: include Compensation & Benefits paragraph.
- Pay: include Salary Description.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual salary range.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities we should list items as
- . For requirements we list items. For benefits we list items.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting, but we can format as lists.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat.
