We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We have:
- Opening date, closing date, work week, salary, location, program, etc. Some of these could go under About the role? The description includes duties.
We need to avoid repeating job title. No Job ID.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we should omit sections like Veteran's Preference, SAME Applicants, Residency, Authorization to Work, Equal Opportunity Employment, Accommodations under ADA, etc. Also remove "NOTE: ..." about foreign degrees? That's part of requirements, keep? It's part of requirements details. Keep.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
Let's parse content:

Now we need to map to sections.
About the role: Could include description of role, location, program, work week, salary, opening/closing dates, vacancies, scope of eligibility. The instruction says: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role containing overview.
Responsibilities: from Description and Specific to the Position.
Requirements: from Requirements section.
Qualifications: maybe overlapping with Requirements? Could combine? But we need to decide. The posting includes Requirements (education/experience). Could treat that as Requirements. Qualifications maybe not separate; but we could include Qualifications as same as Requirements? However we should not create empty sections. If we have Requirements, we may not need Qualifications unless there is distinct content. The posting also mentions Preferred Skill Set under Preferred Skill Set. That could go under Skills.
Benefits: we have Benefits section.
Pay: we have salary range.
Schedule: we have Work Week: NL (35-hour) Work Week.
Thus we can create sections:
- About the role: includes program/location, opening/closing dates, existing vacancies, scope of eligibility, maybe note about not reapplying.
- Responsibilities: description + specific to the position.
- Requirements: the detailed requirements.
- Skills: Preferred Skill Set.
- Benefits: benefits list.
- Pay: salary range.
- Schedule: work week.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract.
