We need to output HTML fragment 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. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the job description. Sections present: - Base Salary: $85,000 to $120,000 annually DOE -> Pay section. - Benefits: listed -> Benefits section. - About the role: maybe from "Ziply Fiber is a local internet service provider..." and "Job Summary". Could combine as About the role. - Responsibilities: Essential Duties and Responsibilities. - Requirements: maybe Required Position Competencies? Actually "Required Position Competencies" could be Skills? But we have separate sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to map. We have "Required Position Competencies" includes Interpersonal Skills, Managing People, Communication, etc. That's more like Skills. We have "Required Qualifications": high school diploma, 3-5 years experience, etc. We have "Preferred Qualifications": Bachelor's degree preferred, etc. We have "Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities": list. We have "Work Authorization", "Physical Requirements", "Work Environment", "Other Duties". Some of these may be considered as part of Requirements or Skills but we should not create sections unless content is substantive and matches allowed headings. We can include them under appropriate existing headings: e.g., Work Authorization could be under Requirements (maybe as a bullet). Physical Requirements maybe under Requirements? But we should not invent headings like Physical Requirements. We can include them as

or

    under appropriate sections like Requirements or Skills. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove those. We must not include application instructions. We must not include duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information. Thus we need to extract: - About the role: company description and job summary. - Responsibilities: list of essential duties (maybe break into sub-sections? but we just need a
    • list). Could group by categories but not required. - Requirements: maybe combine Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Work Authorization, Physical Requirements? But we need to decide. Better to have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Schedule: not present, so omit. Pay: base salary. Benefits: list. Qualifications: maybe Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications combined? But we have separate headings for Qualifications and Skills. Could put Required Qualifications under Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications also under Qualifications (or maybe under Skills?). But we have also Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities which fits Skills. Thus: - Qualifications: Required Qualifications (high school diploma or GED, 3-5 years experience, etc.) and Preferred Qualifications (Bachelor's degree preferred, etc.) - Skills: Required Position Competencies (Interpersonal Skills, Managing People, Communication) plus Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities list. We need to avoid duplication: some items appear in both Required Position Competencies and Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (e.g., strong verbal and written communication). We'll keep both but could deduplicate? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep both, even if overlapping. But we should not duplicate identical lines? There's duplication of "Strong verbal and written communications skills". Might be okay to keep both but we could note they are separate bullet points. However to avoid duplication we could keep both as they appear in different sections; but they are substantively same. The instruction says do NOT invent or summarize away detail. It doesn't forbid deduplication, but preserving all substantive information means we shouldn't lose any info; if we merge duplicates we might lose nuance but not lose info. Safer to keep both as separate bullet points under Skills. We'll format as
      • for each bullet. We need to ensure we don't include headings with empty content. Now craft HTML. Structure:

        About the role

        ... company description and job summary ...

        Responsibilities

        • ... each duty ...

        Requirements

        • ... maybe combine Work Authorization, Physical Requirements, Work Environment? But those are not exactly requirements; they are more like conditions. Could put them under Requirements as well.
        But we also have Qualifications and Skills sections. If we put Requirements separate, we need to decide what goes there. Could put "Work Authorization", "Physical Requirements", "Work Environment" under Requirements. However the instruction says we should prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Requirements, Qualifications, Skills into fewer sections? But we have headings defined; we can use them if we have content. We could omit Requirements if we put those items under Qualifications or Skills. But we have to decide. Let's map: - Work Authorization: "Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the US for any employer. Sponsorship is not available for this position." This is a requirement. - Physical Requirements: description of physical demands. - Work Environment: office setting. These could be considered Requirements (eligibility and working conditions). So we can put them under Requirements. Qualifications: Required and Preferred Qualifications. Skills: Required Position Competencies + Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities. Thus we have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Now we need to extract content. About the role: combine company description and job summary. Company description: "Ziply Fiber is a local internet service provider dedicated to elevating the connected lives of the communities we serve.
