We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the job description includes "Overview of the Role" and "What We Are Looking For!" etc. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to map content. We have: - Overview of the Role: description of role: assist shift supervisor, coordinate work, knowledge of manufacturing processes, operates line, vary conditions, maintain quality, etc. This could be "Responsibilities" or "About the role". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. We can choose appropriate. - "What We Are Looking For!" includes list of tasks: operate mixing system, calendar, press, hot melt; embosser 1,2,3; anti-sticking agent unit; adhesive unit 1 and 2; U.V. unit; magnetizing unit; start up hot oil heater and water chillers; perform quality testing; make corrections; ensure production scheduled adhered to; assist in training new employees; perform some maintenance on press and report needed repairs; assist in labeling and packing parts. This is responsibilities. - Qualifications: "What You Will Bring!" includes High School Diploma or GED, 3 months-1 year related manufacturing experience, knowledge of metric system, computer literate, able to operate a forklift, able to read and write. - Additional Information: Perks & Benefits list: 401k with generous company match bonuses, medical, dental, vision benefits, paid parental leave, life insurance, disability insurance, paid time off, paid holidays, floating holidays + paid volunteer time, wellness/fitness reimbursements, education assistance, professional development opportunities, employee referral program & more! Also statements about culture, safety, community, sustainability, equal opportunity, competitive salaries aligned with local market benchmarks, compensation determined based on skills, education/training, fair pay practices. We need to include Benefits section if posting actually states them. Yes, there is a list of benefits. So we include Benefits heading. Pay: The posting mentions "We offer competitive salaries, aligned with local market benchmarks and the specific scope and responsibilities of each role. Compensation is determined based skills relevant to the position, education and/or training." This is vague but mentions competitive salaries, but no specific numbers. The rule: do NOT include Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "We offer competitive salaries..." but not a specific number or range. Is that considered stating them? It says "competitive salaries" but not a figure. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It also says "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". Here "competitive salaries, aligned with local market benchmarks" is somewhat vague but not a placeholder like "commensurate with experience". It's still not a specific number. Might be considered filler? The rule says do not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does state that they offer competitive salaries, but not a specific figure. I'd lean to not include Pay section because it's not a concrete figure. However, they also mention "Compensation is determined based skills relevant to the position, education and/or training." That's still generic. I'd omit Pay. Schedule: No mention of schedule (shift times, full-time/part-time). So omit. Skills: Could be a section for skills, but we have qualifications and maybe skills overlapping. The instruction: Use headings like Skills. We could include Skills if there is specific content. The posting mentions "knowledge of metric system, computer literate, able to operate a forklift, able to read and write". Those could be skills. But we already have Qualifications covering education and experience. Could create Skills section for those. However we must not create thin sections. Perhaps combine qualifications and skills into Qualifications. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can have About the role (or Overview), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits. That's four sections. We need to use

for each heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting, but we can format them. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting includes EEO statement at end: "Sika Corporation is committed to a work environment that supports, inspires, and respects all individuals that apply. As an equal opportunity employer Sika will consider all qualified applicants without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, national or ethnic origin, or other protected characteristics." That's EEO boilerplate; we should remove it. Also the earlier statement about safety, community, sustainability etc. That's not boilerplate? It's substantive about culture; we can keep some but maybe it's fluff. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The culture statements may be considered not boilerplate but could be kept. However they are somewhat generic. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep them unless they are considered boilerplate. The EEO statement is definitely boilerplate; remove. The safety and well-being statement: "Sika fosters a culture of entrepreneurship, empowering each individual to make decisions, learn from experiences, and shape their own career path. The safety and well-being of employees are top priorities at Sika, with a strong commitment to open communication and maintaining a safe workplace. In addition, Sika actively contributes to the community and promotes sustainability by giving back, minimizing environmental impact, and embracing social responsibility". This is not EEO; it's about culture. Might be considered substantive; we can keep as part of Benefits or a separate section? But we only have Benefits heading for perks. Could include that as part of Benefits description (maybe a

    after list). However the instruction: Benefits section only when posting has real specific content for it. The posting lists specific benefits (401k, medical, etc.) and also includes culture statements. We can include those as part of Benefits section prose. We must not include Pay or Schedule. Thus final HTML:

    We must ensure no extra text. Output only HTML fragment. Check for any duplicated lines: none. Check that we didn't include Pay or Schedule. Check that we didn't repeat job title. Check that we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO. We removed. Check that we preserved all substantive information: we included overview, responsibilities list, qualifications list, benefits list, and culture statements. Did we miss anything? The posting also had "What We Are Looking For!" which we turned into responsibilities. Good. The posting also had "Additional Information" before perks & benefits; we included benefits and culture. We omitted the line "Sika is a specialty chemicals company..." etc from the "About Sika" section at top. That's company overview, not part of job description. Should we include? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information". The "About Sika" paragraph at start is about the company, not the role. It's substantive but maybe considered boilerplate? It's not navigation/legal/EEO. It's company description. Should we keep? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The company overview is not those. It's substantive. Should we include? Possibly as an "About the company" section, but we only allowed headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. There's no "About the company". Could we incorporate into About the role? The About the role heading is for role description, not company. But we could add a brief paragraph under About the role about Sika? However the instruction: "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., not limited to those? It says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies those are the allowed headings. So we should not add other headings. We could incorporate company overview into About the role as a preamble? But that might be mixing. However the instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." It doesn't forbid other headings besides those examples, but the examples suggest those are the expected headings. It says "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That could be interpreted as you should use those headings when applicable, but you could also use other headings if needed? However later: "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the
