Medical Office Assistant Bilingual
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: Job Summary (maybe we treat as About the role?), Duties & Responsibilities, Bilingual Roles (maybe part of responsibilities?), Requirements, About Us (maybe About the role?), EEO statements (should be removed as boilerplate). No Pay, Schedule, Benefits mentioned. So we should not create those sections.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove EEO Statements, Americans with Disability Act Statement, EEOC Statement, Ethics Statement. Also remove "About Us" maybe? It's not boilerplate but it's descriptive about organization; could be considered part of About the role? The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role (maybe from Job Summary and About Us). Responsibilities (from Duties & Responsibilities and Bilingual Roles). Requirements (from Requirements). Possibly Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements). But we should not create thin sections. We have Requirements content; we could put that under Requirements heading. Could also have Skills (maybe from Requirements like computer proficiency, typing, etc.) but we can keep under Requirements.
We need to avoid headings with filler text. So we will include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
