We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the Company? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). They gave examples but we can use other headings if appropriate. The posting includes "About the Company", "Job Description", "Specific Assignments Include But Are Not Limited To", "Benefits", "Requirements". We need to map to headings. They said do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. We need to preserve all substantive information, remove boilerplate. There's no cookie/navigation etc. We need to output only HTML fragment. We need sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can have sections: About the Company, Responsibilities (maybe from Job Description and Specific Assignments), Requirements, Benefits. Possibly also Qualifications? But we have Requirements covering qualifications. Could also have Skills? Not needed. We need to use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities we should list bullet points from the job description and specific assignments. For requirements list bullet points. For benefits list bullet points. We need to use

    for prose. So any paragraph text not in list should be

    . We must not invent or summarize away detail. Must preserve all substantive info. Let's extract content. About the Company paragraph: "Tesla Laboratories is a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) providing Cyber Security, Intelligence Analysis, Financial Management, Facilities Engineering Services, and Program Management support to the Intelligence Community (IC), the Department of Defense (DoD), and other federal government customers.

That's substantive, keep. We need to avoid duplication: The Job Description and Specific Assignments overlap; we should combine duties into a single Responsibilities section, preserving all details, not repeating same content. But we must preserve all substantive info; we can combine but ensure we don't lose any detail. Let's see if any detail in Job Description not covered in Specific Assignments: Job Description includes: "Looking for an experienced NEPA specialist with the ability to investigate and analyze west coast environmental and construction issues.

Thus we can combine. We'll create sections:

    We need to ensure no extra sections like Pay or Schedule (not present). Also we should not include headings with empty content. Check for any duplicated lines: we have not duplicated. Check for any boilerplate: we removed "Tesla Laboratories offers a comprehensive benefits package designed to support the well-being and long-term success of our employees, including:" we kept the list but removed the introductory sentence? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The introductory sentence is substantive? It's describing the benefits package. Could be considered part of benefits description. Should we keep it as a

    before the list? The instruction says use

    for prose. So we could include a

    before the

      describing the benefits package. However the list itself is substantive; the introductory sentence is also substantive. We should preserve it. So we should add a

        before the list that captures the high-level description: "Looking for an experienced
