We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the job description. Content: - Intro: "Drive Growth. Build Connections. Strengthen Community Job Description At the YMCA Alexandria, membership is about creating connections, opening doors, and helping people find a place where they belong. As a Membership Associate, you will play an important role in bringing that mission to life every day. You will be one of the faces of the Y—welcoming members and guests, building relationships, connecting people to programs and opportunities, and creating experiences that keep people engaged with the Y and their community. Your ability to listen, connect, and build trust will directly contribute to membership growth, member retention, and the overall strength of the branch." That's about the role. Could be "About the role" or "Overview". We'll use

. - Qualifications: bullet list: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience preferred. Minimum of 3 years of experience in membership sales and customer service. A genuine passion for sales, networking, relationship-building, and community engagement. Flexibility to work evenings and weekends, including branch and community events. Strong interpersonal, leadership, and communication skills. That's qualifications. - Essential Functions: multiple bullet-like paragraphs: Grow Membership by Building Relationships (with subpoints), Be a Connector in the Community, Create a Place Where Everyone Belongs, Collaborate, Lead & Make an Impact, Cause-Driven Leadership Competencies (with subpoints). This seems like responsibilities/duties. We could put under

  • each major function. We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent. We have sections: "Why You’ll Love Working At The Y" with benefits list: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance; 10% YMCA retirement contribution; Generous paid time off and holidays; Professional development and leadership opportunities; Complimentary YMCA family membership; The opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of our members and communities. That's benefits. No explicit Pay or Schedule mentioned. So we should not create those sections. We also have "Required Certifications Team Leader" seems odd: maybe a certification? It says "Required Certifications Team Leader". Might be a certification required? Not clear. Probably it's a line: "Required Certifications Team Leader". Could be a certification: Team Leader? Might be a certification needed. But it's ambiguous. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. If it's unclear, we could include as a qualification? It says "Required Certifications Team Leader". Could be that they require Team Leader certification. We'll treat as a qualification: "Required Certifications: Team Leader". We'll include under Qualifications maybe as a bullet. Also there is "Cause-Driven Leadership Competencies" with subpoints: Mission Advancement, Collaboration, Operational Effectiveness, Personal Growth. Those are competencies; could be under Skills or Qualifications. We'll include them as part of Responsibilities or maybe as Skills. Since they are competencies, we could put under

    Skills

    . But we already have Qualifications. Might be better to put under Skills. We need to decide sections: About the role, Qualifications, Responsibilities, Skills, Benefits. We must not create empty sections. Let's extract: About the role: first paragraph(s) up to "Qualifications". We'll combine. Qualifications: list: - Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience preferred. - Minimum of 3 years of experience in membership sales and customer service. - A genuine passion for sales, networking, relationship-building, and community engagement. - Flexibility to work evenings and weekends, including branch and community events. - Strong interpersonal, leadership, and communication skills. - Required Certifications: Team Leader (if we treat as qualification). Responsibilities: from "Essential Functions" sections: - Grow Membership by Building Relationships: * Build authentic relationships through community outreach, networking, and partnership development. * Conduct engaging cause-driven tours that focus on what matters most to each prospective member—not simply the features of the facility. * Respond to membership leads and inquiries with a consultative, listen-first approach. * Help achieve monthly membership and retention goals while keeping the Y's mission and community impact at the center of your work. - Be a Connector in the Community: * Develop and maintain meaningful corporate and community partnerships. * Represent the YMCA at local events, civic gatherings, networking opportunities, and community activities. * Work closely with branch leadership and program teams to create engaging experiences for members and prospective members. * Identify opportunities to introduce people to the programs, services, and resources that make the Y an important part of the community. - Create a Place Where Everyone Belongs: * Make sure every person who walks through our doors feels seen, valued, and welcomed. * Connect members to group exercise classes, programs, volunteer opportunities, and community initiatives. * Promote a culture grounded in caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. * Maintain high standards of facility excellence and professionalism. - Collaborate, Lead & Make an Impact: * Partner with the Membership Director and branch team to execute membership strategies and engagement initiatives. * Support open houses, member events, community events, and other activities that bring people together. * Share your knowledge, energy, and leadership with fellow staff. * Serve as a positive ambassador for the YMCA's mission and values. - Cause-Driven Leadership Competencies: * Mission Advancement: Incorporates the Y's mission and values into the organization's vision and strategies. Ensures community engagement; promotes the global nature of the Y. Leads a culture of volunteerism, ensuring engagement, inclusion, and ownership. * Collaboration: Initiates the development of relationships with influential leaders to impact and strengthen the community. Is recognized as an inspirational community leader who navigates complex political and social circles with ease. Communicates to engage and inspire people within and outside the YMCA. Ensures that a talent management system is in place and executed effectively. * Operational Effectiveness: Possesses penetrating insight and strong strategic and critical thinking skills. Invests resources in well-designed innovation initiatives. Creates a structure to deliver organization-wide results to achieve objectives. Develops and implements stewardship strategies. Determines benchmarks and ensures appropriate leadership to meet objectives. * Personal Growth: Creates a learning organization. Effectively drives change by leveraging resources and creating alignment to expand organizational opportunities. Shares authority and demonstrates courage and humility. Has the functional and technical knowledge and skills required to perform well; uses best practices and demonstrates up-to-date knowledge and skills in technology. We could treat these as responsibilities as well. Skills: maybe we can extract from qualifications and competencies: Strong interpersonal, leadership, communication skills; passion for sales, networking, relationship-building; flexibility; etc. But we already have qualifications. Might be redundant. Could combine qualifications and skills into one section "Qualifications & Skills". But the instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose to have Qualifications and Skills separate if we have content. We have qualifications list; we also have skills implied: Strong interpersonal, leadership, communication skills; passion for sales, networking, relationship-building; flexibility; etc. Could list under Skills. But to avoid duplication, we could put under Qualifications the education/experience, and under Skills the interpersonal etc. However the qualifications already include "Strong interpersonal, leadership, and communication skills." That's a skill. So maybe we keep Qualifications as education/experience, and Skills as interpersonal etc. But we risk splitting similar content. Given the instruction to prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones, we could combine Qualifications and Skills into one section "Qualifications". That's acceptable because we still have a heading Qualifications. The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't forbid combining; we just need to use those headings when we have content. So we can have Qualifications heading and include all qualification/skill bullets. Thus we will have:
