We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (EEO, legal, navigation, etc). Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. The posting includes Pay Rate Range: $120,000-150,000. So we can include Pay section. Benefits: there is "Apex Benefits Overview" and later "Everforth Apex Benefits Overview". So we have benefits content. Schedule: not mentioned. So we should not include Schedule heading. About the role: we have description of duties and who we're looking for. Could combine into About the role? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections to include based on content. Likely we will have About the role (maybe a brief summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Basic Requirements), Qualifications (maybe Desired Requirements), Skills (maybe not explicit separate but could be derived), Benefits, Pay. We must not create sections with filler. Must preserve all substantive info. So we need to extract substantive content and place under appropriate headings. We need to avoid duplication. Let's parse the posting. Key parts: - Job#: 3052814 (drop) - Job Description: Candidates must be U.S. citizens able to obtain and/or maintain a Department of Defense security clearance as a condition and continuation of employment. (This is a requirement) - Apex Systems, a World-Class Technology Solutions Provider, is seeking applicants for the below position on behalf of our client. Please apply if interested and qualified. Please note that only qualified candidates will be contacted. (boilerplate/application instruction - remove) - Position: Mid-Level System Test Engineer (job title, not heading) - Location: Schriever Space Force Base, Colorado Springs, CO - Clearance Level: Secret - Pay Rate Range: $120,000-150,000 - Description of Duties: (paragraph) - Who We’re Looking For: (paragraph) - Responsibilities: (list bullet points) - Basic Requirements: (list) - Desired Requirements: (list) - Apex Benefits Overview (paragraph) - Everforth Apex Benefits Overview (duplicate) - EEO etc (remove) - Everforth Apex is a world-class IT services company... (boilerplate) - Virtual recruiter etc (remove) - Privacy policy etc (remove) - Everforth Apex Benefits Overview: (duplicate) - Everforth Apex Systems is an equal opportunity employer... (remove) - etc. We need to preserve all substantive info: location, clearance level, pay rate, description of duties, who we're looking for, responsibilities, basic requirements, desired requirements, benefits overview. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have a heading for Position. We need to decide sections: - About the role: could combine location, clearance, maybe description of duties? But description of duties is separate. Usually About the role is a brief summary. We have "Description of Duties" and "Who We’re Looking For". Could treat "About the role" as a short paragraph summarizing the role: maybe combine location, clearance, and brief description. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We can keep the description of duties as is under Responsibilities? Actually Responsibilities is a separate list. The description of duties paragraph is more like overview. Could put that under About the role. But we must not lose any detail. So we can put the description of duties paragraph under About the role (or maybe under Responsibilities? But Responsibilities already has a list; we could keep the paragraph as 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 heading with the description of duties paragraph. Then Responsibilities heading with the list. Then Requirements heading with basic requirements list. Then Qualifications heading with desired requirements list (or maybe Skills). But we also have Skills maybe not explicit; we could combine desired requirements as Skills. However we have both Requirements and Qualifications sections. The posting has Basic Requirements and Desired Requirements. So we can map Basic Requirements to Requirements heading, Desired Requirements to Qualifications heading. Skills maybe not needed; we could omit Skills if no explicit skills list beyond those. But we could also put some skills under Skills if we want, but we must not create filler. Better to omit Skills if no explicit separate skills section. Benefits: we have benefits overview (two duplicates). We'll include one Benefits section with the content (deduplicate). Pay: we have Pay Rate Range. So include Pay heading with that. Schedule: none, omit. Location and clearance: maybe include in About the role or maybe as separate meta? Could include in About the role paragraph. We must not include Job ID etc. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, navigation, legal, etc. We must not include application instructions. We must not include duplicated lines. We must preserve all substantive info: location, clearance, pay, description of duties, who we're looking for, responsibilities, basic requirements, desired requirements, benefits. We need to ensure we don't lose any detail from responsibilities list, basic requirements list, desired requirements list. Let's extract each.
