We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, scam warning, etc. Also remove navigation/cookie etc. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: Intro paragraph: "Imagine your future in Columbus, Ohio! Join our team at NBC4 where we put local first with strong ties to the community. Work, play, and enjoy life in the nation’s 15th largest city, market #35, home of the Ohio State Capitol and Ohio State University. Forbes ranks Columbus a top 10 city for young professionals and a place Manhattan Institute ranked among the best Midwest economies. USA Today calls Columbus a “food mecca” and an "ethnic food paradise"." That's about location and company. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About NBC4"? The instruction: use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly. We have a description of the Multimedia Journalist Reporter role: "The Multimedia Journalist Reporter gathers information, reports, shoots and edits video, and writes stories for all platforms in a manner that is clear, engaging and meaningful to news consumers. Reports news stories for digital, broadcast, and social platforms, describing the background and details of events Arranges interviews with people who can provide information Reviews copy and corrects errors in content, grammar and punctuation, following prescribed editorial style and formatting guidelines Reviews and evaluates notes taken about events to identify pertinent facts and details Determines a story’s emphasis and organizes material accordingly Researches and analyzes background information related to provide complete and accurate information Gathers information about events through research, interviews, experience or attendance at political, news, sports, artistic, social or other functions Pitches stories to news managers and news producers which are relevant to the local community Receives assignments and evaluates leads and tips to develop story ideas Discusses issues with producers and/or news managers to establish priorities or positions Checks reference materials such as books, news files or public records to obtain relevant facts Revises work to meet editorial approval or to fit time requirements Shoots and edits video for news events and news reports Produces and presents on camera reports for all platforms Ensures that all content meets company standards for journalistic integrity and production quality Writes stories for the station website and other platforms Interacts with viewers/users on social media sites Performs special projects and other duties as assigned" That's responsibilities. Then "Requirements & Skills:" then list: - Bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Journalism, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and work-related experience - Fluency in English - Excellent communication skills, both oral and written with the ability to ad lib when required - Minimum two years’ experience in news reporting (Depending on market size) - Superior live on-air presence - Proficiency with computers, mobile phones, copiers, scanners, and other office equipment - Ability to meet deadlines, prioritize assignments and handle multiple tasks simultaneously - Valid driver’s license with a good driving record - Flexibility to work any shift, including early mornings, late evenings, weekends and holidays Then EEO and scam warning to remove. No explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections. However we have "Flexibility to work any shift, including early mornings, late evenings, weekends and holidays" which is schedule info. Could be placed under Schedule section. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we have schedule info: flexibility to work any shift. That's specific enough. So we can create a Schedule section with that bullet. Pay: none. Benefits: none. Qualifications: maybe separate from Requirements? The posting lumps Requirements & Skills. We could split into Requirements (education, experience, driver's license) and Skills (communication, proficiency, etc.) but we need to follow headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The instruction says use those headings if content exists. We have content for Requirements (education, experience, driver's license). Qualifications maybe overlapping; but we could treat Qualifications as same as Requirements? Better to not duplicate. We could put education and experience under Requirements, and maybe "Valid driver's license" also under Requirements. Skills: communication, proficiency, ability to meet deadlines, etc. Also "Superior live on-air presence" could be skill. "Fluency in English" skill. "Ability to ad lib" skill. We need to avoid filler like "Depending on market size" maybe considered vague but it's part of the requirement. It's specific enough? It says "Minimum two years’ experience in news reporting (Depending on market size)". That's somewhat vague but still a requirement. We'll keep it. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, scam warning. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Thus produce something like:

  • Flexibility to work any shift, including early mornings, late evenings, weekends and holidays
We could also put the flexibility under Schedule instead of Skills. But we already used flexibility in Skills. However schedule info is specific; we could create Schedule section with that bullet. Let's decide: The instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. We have schedule info: "Flexibility to work any shift, including early mornings, late evenings, weekends and holidays". That's specific. So we should create a Schedule section with that bullet. Then we should remove it from Skills. Thus Skills would exclude flexibility. Let's adjust. Skills list: - Excellent communication skills, both oral and written with the ability to ad lib when required - Superior live on-air presence - Proficiency with computers, mobile phones, copiers, scanners, and other office equipment - Ability to meet deadlines, prioritize assignments and handle multiple tasks simultaneously Schedule: - Flexibility to work any shift, including early mornings, late evenings, weekends and holidays Now check if any other schedule info: none. Now Benefits, Pay: none, so omit. Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate: we removed EEO and scam warning. Check for duplicated lines: we have not repeated. Now ensure we preserve all substantive info: we have included all responsibilities bullet points, all requirements, skills, schedule. Did we miss any? Let's review original responsibilities list: It includes many items; we captured them all? Let's verify each sentence: Original responsibilities paragraph (broken into sentences): "The Multimedia Journalist Reporter gathers information, reports, shoots and edits video, and writes stories for all platforms in a manner that is clear, engaging and meaningful to news consumers." We have that as first bullet. "Reports news stories for digital, broadcast, and social platforms, describing the background and details of events" Second bullet.
