We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to extract content.
The posting includes: Intro paragraph about mission, then description of role, responsibilities list, qualifications list, then description of CBS News and Stations (company info) maybe not needed? Then "What We Offer:" includes benefits etc. No explicit Pay or Schedule details. There's mention of "Willingness and availability to work a flexible schedule including evenings, weekends, and holidays." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that sentence. Benefits: "Attractive compensation and comprehensive benefits packages. Check out our full list of benefits here: ... Generous paid time off. An exciting and fulfilling opportunity...". So we can include Benefits section with those sentences. Pay: not specified, so we should NOT include Pay section. Skills: maybe not explicit separate; but we could combine Skills with Qualifications? The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We have About the role (intro), Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe includes Requirements), Benefits, Schedule. Could also include Requirements as separate if distinct; but Qualifications already covers requirements. We'll not duplicate.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, cookie/navigation. Also remove duplicated lines.
Let's extract substantive content:
Intro: "#WeAreParamount on a mission to unleash the power of content… you in? We’ve got the brands, we’ve got the stars, we’ve got the power to achieve our mission to entertain the planet – now all we’re missing is… YOU! Becoming a part of Paramount means joining a team of passionate people who not only recognize the power of content but also enjoy a touch of fun and uniqueness. Together, we co-create moments that matter – both for our audiences and our employees – and aim to leave a positive mark on culture. CBS 62 (WWJ-TV) and CW50 (WKBD-TV), the CBS News and Stations-owned and operated television stations serving the #15 television market (Detroit), are seeking an experienced, creative, and driven Multi-Skilled Weekend Sports Anchor/ Reporter to join our growing CBS Detroit News Team. This is a full-time position for a dynamic journalist who thrives both in the studio and in the field. We're looking for a true multi-platform storyteller — someone who can anchor sports segments, report live, produce enterprise content, and deliver compelling stories across broadcast, streaming, digital, and social platforms. The ideal candidate has a strong command of sports journalism, a passion for visual storytelling, and the ability to own a story from pitch through publish"
That's About the role.
Responsibilities: list bullet points under RESPONSIBILITIES: On-Air Anchoring & Presentation (with sub-bullets?), Reporting & Enterprise Journalism, Multi-Skilled Field Production (MMJ), Digital & Social Content, Editorial & Team Collaboration. Each has sub-bullets.

Responsibilities: list bullet points under RESPONSIBILITIES: On-Air Anchoring & Presentation (with sub-bullets?), Reporting & Enterprise Journalism, Multi-Skilled Field Production (MMJ), Digital & Social Content, Editorial & Team Collaboration. Each has sub-bullets.
We need to output - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have top-level
with each responsibility as - and inside maybe nested lists? The instruction: use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid nested lists, but we can keep simple: each responsibility as
- and include its subpoints as separate sentences within the li, maybe using commas. Or we could make nested
. Safer to keep flat: each responsibility as - containing the description.
Let's extract each responsibility block:
On-Air Anchoring & Presentation:
- Anchor sports segments across daily newscasts with authority, accuracy, and personality
- Deliver highlights, breaking sports news, enterprise stories, and conversational sports content

- Execute high-quality visual storytelling using natural sound, strong sequencing, and creative shot selection
- Meet daily deadlines while maintaining accuracy, fairness, and journalistic integrity
Digital & Social Content:

- Willingness and availability to work a flexible schedule including evenings, weekends, and holidays.
Note: The last bullet about schedule could go to Schedule section, but it's also a qualification. We'll keep it in Qualifications? But we also need Schedule section if we have schedule info. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. We have schedule info: "Willingness and availability to work a flexible schedule including evenings, weekends, and holidays." That's specific. So we can make a Schedule section with that sentence. Then we should remove it from Qualifications to avoid duplication. However Qualifications still includes other items. We'll keep Qualifications without that bullet.

We must not include any markdown fences. Just raw HTML.
Check for any boilerplate removed: we removed company description about CBS News and Stations (the paragraph after qualifications). That's not required? It's substantive but maybe considered boilerplate? It's about the company; but instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The company description is substantive about the employer. Should we keep? It might be considered "About the company" but not a specified heading. We could include it under About the role or maybe a separate section like "About the company". But headings list only includes specific ones; we could add it as a paragraph under About the role after intro. The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples, not exclusive? It says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we should not add extra headings. We can incorporate company info into About the role paragraph.
Thus we need to merge the company description into About the role paragraph.
Let's craft About the role paragraph combining intro and company description.
