for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. 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. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to decide which sections to include. The posting includes: Who We Are (company description), Job Summary, Principal Duties And Responsibilities (list), Qualifications (Required and Preferred), Compensation And Benefits (salary range, benefits). Also maybe "Our Commitment to Inclusion" and "Equal Opportunity Employer" are boilerplate EEO; we should remove those. Also "No Relocation Assistance Offered Job Number #174467 - Morristown, Tennessee, United States" is metadata; we can fold into a short
maybe.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. The job title is "Maintenance Technician". Not to repeat.
We need to use
for section headings. Which sections? Possibly: About the Company (or Who We Are), Job Summary, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. However we should not create sections with placeholder text. The posting includes specific content for Who We Are, Job Summary, Responsibilities (Principal Duties), Qualifications (Required and Preferred), Compensation And Benefits (salary range and benefits). So we can have sections: About the Company (or Who We Are), Job Summary, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. But we need to check if we should separate Pay and Benefits? The instruction says use headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have separate Pay and Benefits sections if content exists. The posting includes Salary Range $32.19 - $32.19 USD (so a specific number) and benefits description. So we can have Pay section with that salary range, and Benefits section with benefits list.
We should not include Schedule because not specified.
We should not include Requirements separate from Qualifications? Could combine but we have Qualifications section (Required and Preferred). Could also have Requirements but we can just use Qualifications.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities we need a list. For Qualifications we need list (maybe split required and preferred). For Benefits we need list.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details exactly as given, but we can format as list items.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, inclusion, etc. Also remove "No Relocation Assistance Offered Job Number #174467 - Morristown, Tennessee, United States" maybe we keep as a short
at top? The instruction: fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include a
with that line.
We must not include markdown code fences.
