We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job posting. The posting includes: - Summary: "See below for important information regarding this job." Not needed. - Duties: a long list of duties. - Requirements: includes Conditions of employment (citizenship, tour of duty, security, FLSA, selective service, recruitment incentives, bargaining unit, pre-employment physical, REAL ID). Also maybe other requirements. - Qualifications: includes details about qualification standards, screen-out element, etc. - Additional information: includes links, reemployed annuitants, drug-free workplace policy, etc. Some of that may be considered boilerplate (EEO, legal). We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The drug-free workplace policy might be considered boilerplate? It's specific to DLA but could be considered legal. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The drug-free workplace policy is legal. Likely should be removed. Also the "Additional information For Important General Applicant Information and Definitions go to:" is boilerplate. Also "Reemployed Annuitants: ..." maybe not needed. Also "Drug-Free Workplace Policy" maybe legal, remove. Also "Additional guidance on writing a federal resume..." maybe boilerplate. Also "Candidates should be committed to improving the efficiency..." maybe not boilerplate but could be considered fluff. Might be considered part of qualifications? It's more like agency values. Could be omitted as not substantive? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The values statement might be considered substantive? It's generic but maybe part of qualifications? I'd lean to keep it if it's specific to the job? It's generic. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to omit. We need sections: Responsibilities (duties), Requirements, Qualifications. Possibly Skills? Not explicitly listed. Benefits? Not given. Pay? Not given. Schedule? Tour of duty is given under Requirements (Tour of Duty: 1st Shift (7:00 am – 3:30 pm)). That could be considered schedule info. Should we create a Schedule section? The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. The posting includes tour of duty. That's schedule. So we could include a Schedule section with that detail. However tour of duty is also under Requirements. Could we keep it under Requirements? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we keep Requirements and include tour of duty there. No separate Schedule. Benefits: there is a paragraph about benefits: "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package..." That's generic but specific to federal benefits. Could be considered Benefits section. It's substantive? It's generic but mentions comprehensive benefits package. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO/legal but it's about benefits. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Benefits paragraph is not that. It's describing benefits. Could keep as Benefits section. But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Thus sections: Responsibilities (duties), Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits. We need to use

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

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to extract duties list items from the Duties paragraph. It's a paragraph with sentences separated by periods. We can turn each sentence into a list item? The instruction: Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The duties are a list of tasks; we can make each sentence a
    • . Similarly for requirements: we have multiple items (citizenship, tour of duty, security requirements, appointment subject to suitability, FLSA, selective service, recruitment incentives, bargaining unit status, pre-employment physical, REAL ID). Also maybe "Conditions of employment Must be a U.S. citizen" etc. We'll make each as list item. Qualifications: includes several paragraphs. We need to capture substantive info: The qualification standard, screen-out element, etc. Might be prose; we can keep as

      paragraphs. Benefits: paragraph about comprehensive benefits package; we can keep as

      . We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's craft. First, Responsibilities:

We need to decide what to keep. Some of this is quite detailed and seems substantive. We'll keep as paragraphs. We could break into

      elements for readability. We'll output:
