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. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (EEO, legal, scam warning, application instructions, cookie/nav). Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes Annual Salary range, so Pay section is present. Benefits? The posting mentions "Great Rewards: Competitive pay, benefits, and flexibility..." but not specific benefits details. It mentions GEICO Pledge with Great Rewards: Competitive pay, benefits, and flexibility. That's vague; but we have mention of benefits but not specific. The instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It states "benefits" generically but not specifics. Might be considered not specific enough; but we could include a Benefits section with the GEICO Pledge Great Rewards bullet? However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be better to omit Benefits if not specific. Schedule? The posting mentions HYBRID* 3 DAYS ONSITE. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that detail. Pay section we have salary range.
We need sections: About the role (maybe a summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also "About GEICO" but not required heading. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose which to include.
We must preserve all substantive information. Let's extract:
