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. The posting includes description: Job Purpose, Key Responsibilities, Requirements, Location, etc. No explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections. There's location hybrid, must report in-person up to 2 times a month, some evenings and weekends may be required, candidate must reside within DC Metro area. That could be considered Schedule? It mentions some evenings and weekends may be required, but not explicit schedule details. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does mention some evenings and weekends may be required, but not a schedule. Might be considered schedule info? It's not explicit schedule like "full-time", "part-time". Might be safer to not create Schedule section. Benefits not mentioned. Pay not mentioned. So we include About the role (Job Purpose), Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities), Requirements (Requirements). Possibly also Qualifications? The Requirements section already includes education, experience, skills. Could split into Qualifications and Skills but we should not create thin sections. Better to have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements. Use
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.

The Requirements section already includes education, experience, skills. Could split into Qualifications and Skills but we should not create thin sections. Better to have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements. Use for each.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, application instructions. There's no explicit application instructions. We'll keep the core.
We need to format: For About the role: include Job Purpose paragraphs. Could be multiple paragraphs. We'll combine into
maybe multiple
tags.
Responsibilities: list bullet points from Key Responsibilities. Need to capture all responsibilities. The text is long; we need to break into list items preserving detail. Should not lose any detail. We'll create
with each responsibility as - . Might be many items; we need to ensure we capture all.
Requirements: list bullet points from Requirements section.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID.
Let's extract.
Job Purpose text: starts after "Job Purpose". Actually there is duplicate "Job Purpose" heading earlier. The description includes:
"Job Purpose The American Counseling Association (ACA) is the world’s largest organization representing professional counselors in various practice settings. Our vision: Every person has access to quality professional counseling to thrive. Our mission: Advancing the counseling profession, mental health and well-being through education, advocacy, community, inclusion and research. Our values: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Integrity, Proactive Leadership, Professional Community & Relationships, Scientific Practice & Knowledge, Social Justice & Empowerment. All American Counseling Association team members are encouraged, supported, and expected to demonstrate The Way We Work Values: Be Flexible, Be Creative, Be Empowered, Be Inquisitive, Be Collaborative and Be Respectful. Job Purpose The Member Service Representative (MSR) is one of the main points of contact with ACA members and potential members and serves a critical role in ensuring a world class member experience resulting in member engagement and retention. This position exercises discretion and independent judgment with respect to the member and customer experience. The MSR will ensure membership inquiries are addressed in proficient/correct English, courteously and effectively, and information and research are completed in an accurate and timely manner.

This position has no supervisory responsibilities. In addition to the below list of responsibilities, the MSR will carry out assigned tasks that are consistent with the general responsibilities of this position."
We need to preserve all that. Could split into paragraphs.
Now Key Responsibilities: It's a long paragraph with many sentences separated by periods. We need to break into list items each representing a responsibility. Let's parse:
"Member Operations and Engagement: Serve as ACA membership ambassador by providing world-class customer service during all contact with a current, potential or former member.

We need to make each bullet a
- . Some sentences are combined; we can keep as is.
Now Requirements: "High school diploma or equivalent. Bachelor's degree desirable.3-5 years of customer service or related experience, preferably in a membership association.Superior people skills to interact with members and customers and provide exceptional customer service to people from a variety of backgrounds.Strong computer skills, including proficiency in Microsoft Office and other programs, as well as the ability to learn and adapt to new programs.Experience with membership databases (iMIS) desired.Proficient in English; strong written and verbal communications skills and an ability to communicate via a variety of mediums (email, phone, chat, etc.).Exceptional organizational skills.Experience handling and resolving member/customer requests, concerns, complaints, and issues while maintaining a professional and calm demeanor; strong problem-solving skills.Ability to perform well under pressure, prioritize, and consistently meet deadlines.Ability to take initiative and work well with a high degree of autonomy.Attention to detail with a high degree of accuracy.Demonstrated skills at juggling competing demands and prioritizing assignments.Strong problem-solving skills."
We need to split into list items. Some sentences are concatenated without spaces after periods. We'll need to separate logically.
Let's break:
- High school diploma or equivalent.
- Bachelor's degree desirable.
- 3-5 years of customer service or related experience, preferably in a membership association.
- Superior people skills to interact with members and customers and provide exceptional customer service to people from a variety of backgrounds.
- Strong computer skills, including proficiency in Microsoft Office and other programs, as well as the ability to learn and adapt to new programs.
- Experience with membership databases (iMIS) desired.
- Proficient in English; strong written and verbal communications skills and an ability to communicate via a variety of mediums (email, phone, chat, etc.).
- Exceptional organizational skills.
- Experience handling and resolving member/customer requests, concerns, complaints, and issues while maintaining a professional and calm demeanor; strong problem-solving skills.
- Ability to perform well under pressure, prioritize, and consistently meet deadlines.
- Ability to take initiative and work well with a high degree of autonomy.
- Attention to detail with a high degree of accuracy.
- Demonstrated skills at juggling competing demands and prioritizing assignments.
- Strong problem-solving skills.
Note "Strong problem-solving skills" appears twice; we can keep both or deduplicate? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is present in source; we should keep it as is? Might be okay to keep both but could be considered redundant. I'd keep both to preserve.
Now location/hybrid info: "Location: Hybrid. Must be able to report for in-person work up to 2 times a month. Some evenings and weekends may be required. Candidate must reside within the Washington DC Metro area."
This is not a section heading we have; we could include under About the role as a paragraph, or maybe create a separate section like "Work Arrangement"? Not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Could we put location under About the role? Probably yes. Or we could create a Schedule section? It mentions some evenings and weekends may be required, but not schedule details. Safer to include location info in About the role paragraph.
Thus About the role will include Job Purpose paragraphs plus location/hybrid info.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only.
Structure:

Check for any boilerplate: EEO statement at end: "An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action/Pro Disabled and Veteran Employer: At ACA, Equal Employment Opportunity is our commitment and goal. All qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, national origin, gender, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status, marital status or any other protected status designated by federal, state or local law." Must remove.
Also remove duplicated lines: there is duplicate "Job Purpose" heading earlier; we already used content.
Now ensure we preserve all substantive information from Job Purpose, Responsibilities, Requirements, location.
Let's craft About the role paragraphs.
First paragraph: The American Counseling Association (ACA) is the world’s largest organization representing professional counselors in various practice settings.
