The posting includes: Position Summary (we can treat as About the role). Essential Duties And Responsibilities (Responsibilities). Education/Experience/Credentials (Qualifications? maybe Requirements). Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities (Skills). Mental Demands, Physical Demands maybe part of Requirements? But we can include as part of Requirements or separate? The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine mental/physical demands into Requirements or Qualifications. Also Pay and Benefits are present: Pay: From $72,000.00 per year. Benefits list. Schedule? Not mentioned besides Full-time. No explicit schedule details. So we should not create Schedule section because no specific content. Also we should not repeat job title. Also we should drop metadata like Job ID, location, posted date, etc. Also drop application instructions line. Also drop boilerplate like EEO etc (none). Also drop "Full TimeLake View Terrace, Los Angeles, CAPosted 1 day ago" etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the position summary paragraph, duties list, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay. We need to use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting. Let's extract sections: About the role (Position Summary): "Reporting to the Clinical Manager, the Mental Health Therapist is responsible for providing a wide variety of individual, family, and group therapy; case management counseling; crisis intervention; and advocacy services to families, children, and other clients in accordance with their specific therapeutic needs." Responsibilities (Essential Duties And Responsibilities): list of many bullet-like sentences. We need to convert each sentence into

Skills and ability to engage and develop a rapport with patients and families of various backgrounds. Bilingual in Spanish preferred. Also Mental Demands and Physical Demands could be part of Requirements or maybe separate but we can incorporate into Requirements or Skills? The instruction: prefer few substantive sections. So we could add them under Requirements (or Qualifications) as additional bullet points. But we already have Qualifications section for education/credentials. Could we add a separate Requirements section for mental/physical demands? Might be thin. Better to incorporate them into Qualifications or Skills? They are more about demands, not skills. Could create a section "Requirements" for mental/physical demands. But we already have Qualifications for education/credentials. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications. Let's allocate: - Requirements: Mental Demands and Physical Demands (maybe also include some other requirements like driver's license etc? Actually those are in Education/Experience/Credentials). But we can keep driver's license etc under Qualifications. We'll decide. Better: Qualifications: education/credentials/licensure etc. Requirements: mental and physical demands. Skills: knowledge, skills, abilities. Thus we have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Now we need to ensure we don't create sections with filler. All have content. Now we need to format. We'll output:
