We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of company, role, responsibilities, requirements, benefits, schedule, etc. Must use for section headings. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, scam warning, application instructions, etc. Also remove navigation/cookie etc. Keep substantive info.
We need sections only when posting has real specific content. So we need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe a summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Benefits, Schedule. Possibly Skills?

But we can include as part of Requirements or separate? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose which are present.

Also earlier: "Cooper Consolidated offers a 7 on and 7 off schedule, a great benefits package and an amazing 401K match!" So schedule and benefits.
We need to avoid boilerplate: EEO, legal, visa, third party agencies, etc. Remove those paragraphs.
Now produce HTML with sections.
Potential sections:
- About the role (company overview + role fit)
- Responsibilities

We could also have Skills separate but we can include under Requirements.
We must not create Pay section unless posting states pay; it doesn't specify salary, only mentions 401K match, great benefits, but no pay amount. So omit Pay.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now format: Use
for section headings. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, scam warning, application instructions, etc. Also remove navigation/cookie etc. Keep substantive info.

Now format: Use for each heading. Then content: use

We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can combine similar items into lists.
Let's extract details:
