We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections present. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must include only sections with real content. We have description about company, job summary, essential functions, expected compensation, about the company, benefits list, requirements/qualifications. We need to decide headings: "About the role" maybe corresponds to Job Summary? The instructions: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map: - About the role: Job Summary paragraph. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions list. - Requirements: maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications? They have a "Requirements Qualifications" heading. Could treat as Requirements (or Qualifications). We'll have a Requirements section with list. - Benefits: list of benefits under "Forum Communications Company offers the following..." - Pay: Expected compensation line. - Possibly "About The Company" could be separate but not in list; but we could include as "About the Company" maybe not required but we could include as a section if content present. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. So we could add About the Company as a section heading maybe "About the Company". Not in the example list but allowed? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive. Probably we should stick to those headings. So we may not need About the Company separate; we could incorporate into About the role? But better to have a section "About the Company" if we want to preserve info. However instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine company info into About the role? But About the role is about job summary. Could add a section "About the Company" but not in list; risk of being considered extra. Safer to follow examples: include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. Possibly also Skills? Not present. Qualifications maybe separate from Requirements but we have both; we could combine into Requirements (or Qualifications). We'll make Requirements section include both qualifications and requirements. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove that. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from description, job summary, essential functions, compensation, about company, benefits, requirements/qualifications. We must not repeat job title. Not include Job ID etc. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's extract content. Description paragraph: "The Fergus Falls Daily Journal has been serving Fergus Falls and the surrounding communities since 1873, delivering trusted local news with deep roots in the region. Fergus Falls offers the best of both worlds: welcoming small-town living with easy access to big-city amenities. Located roughly midway between Fargo, North Dakota, and Minneapolis–St. Paul, residents enjoy convenient access to major metro areas while calling a close-knit community home. As the gateway to Minnesota’s Lake Country, Fergus Falls is surrounded by lakes, trails, and outdoor recreation, making it an ideal place for those who value work-life balance, community connection, and time outdoors. The Fergus Falls Daily Journal is part of Forum Communications Company, a fifth-generation, family-owned media organization with more than 20 publications across the Upper Midwest, collectively reaching more than 5 million readers each month." That's descriptive about location and company; could be part of About the role or About the Company. We'll maybe put it under About the role (since it's about the job location). Or we could create a separate "About the Company" but we might avoid extra sections. Let's put it in About the role. Job Summary paragraph: "As a Multimedia Account Manager, you will leverage your knowledge of sales and account management to sell marketing solutions and advertising across both print and digital formats. You will demonstrate your creativity, drive, and passion in developing sales strategies, prospecting new clients, growing existing clients, and fearlessly asking for the sale. You will build relationships within your community, and assess and translate business needs and challenges into successful advertising and/or marketing solutions while maintaining strong communication with both clients and internal parties." Essential Functions list: bullet points (they are semicolon separated). We'll convert each to
  • . List items: - Develop and prepare monthly/quarterly sales strategies within assigned territory to meet revenue goals - Demonstrate clear understanding of all products and services and effectively communicate how they provide value to different businesses and industries - Prospect to acquire new business; prepare and deliver customized proposals and presentations to clients after conducting a thorough needs assessment - Manage the day-to day relationships with existing clients, including analyzing their business, conducting business reviews, providing solutions, resolving issues and serving as an extension of their business - Examine current clients for unmet needs; present recommended solutions and share new product capabilities - Complete thorough needs analysis for every client to make a clear connection between company products and the return on investment - Effectively communicate and offer input between the client and our creative department to help facilitate an effective campaign - Share knowledge, experience and information in order to optimize overall team sales strategies and team effectiveness. - Maintain prompt and reliable attendance. Note some have semicolons inside; we keep as is. Compensation: "Expected compensation for this role is between $45,000 - $60,000 plus commissions, based on qualifications and experience."

Requirements/Qualifications block: It starts with "Requirements Qualifications Bachelor's degree or combination of education and experience in sales and marketing.Open to development, with a drive to take on new projects and challenges; curious to learn moreComfortable working independently and communicating with clients and prospects confidentlyFearless to bring new ideas to the table, both internally and externallyAdept at both building and developing relationships; ready to handle changeCustomer focused mindset, with an ability to adapt to different personalitiesExceptional follow-through and perseverance; comfortable following up with prospectsAbility to think strategically in prospecting and developing campaignsFlexibility to sell a wide range of products and servicesExcellent communication skills and ability to closeOrganized, with close attention to detailMust possess a valid driver’s license and a driving record that is insurable by the companyMust carry an acceptable level of vehicle insurance as required by the company" We need to split into list items. The text seems to have missing spaces after periods. We'll parse manually. Let's list each requirement: - Bachelor's degree or combination of education and experience in sales and marketing. - Open to development, with a drive to take on new projects and challenges; curious to learn more - Comfortable working independently and communicating with clients and prospects confidently - Fearless to bring new ideas to the table, both internally and externally - Adept at both building and developing relationships; ready to handle change - Customer focused mindset, with an ability to adapt to different personalities - Exceptional follow-through and perseverance; comfortable following up with prospects - Ability to think strategically in prospecting and developing campaigns - Flexibility to sell a wide range of products and services - Excellent communication skills and ability to close - Organized, with close attention to detail - Must possess a valid driver’s license and a driving record that is insurable by the company - Must carry an acceptable level of vehicle insurance as required by the company We'll output as
    • ...
    under Requirements heading. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "We are an equal employment opportunity employer..." etc. Remove. Now construct HTML. We'll have:

    About the role

    ... description + job summary? Actually we combined location description and job summary. Might be too long but okay. Better: About the role includes job summary only; location description could be part of About the Company? But we don't have that heading. Could add a separate

    About the Company

    but not in examples. However the instruction says "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use

    for section headings (e.g. ...). It implies we should use those headings for sections. It doesn't say we cannot use other headings, but to be safe we stick to those. Thus we need to fit location description somewhere. Could put it in About the role as introductory paragraph before job summary. That's fine. Thus About the role will contain two paragraphs: first the location/company description, second the job summary. Now Responsibilities: essential functions. Requirements: list as above. Benefits: list. Pay: paragraph. We might also include a short paragraph about the company under About the role? Already included location description includes mention of Forum Communications Company. That's okay. Now ensure we don't repeat any content inadvertently. Let's craft. HTML:
