We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading (none given). Do NOT put Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to parse the posting. Let's extract content: First paragraph: "Built on meritocracy, our unique company culture rewards self-starters and those who are committed to doing what is best for our customers." This is about company culture; could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". But we have headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The culture could go under About the role (maybe). We'll include a

    for that. Then "Summary Responsible for underwriting and associated tasks for existing and new programs, with a focus on evaluating and quoting prospective new members." That's a summary of role; could be part of About the role. Then "Essential Duties and Functions: include the following. Other duties may be assigned." Then list of duties: - Make independent underwriting decisions using discretion. - Underwrite new applications and renewal submissions according to Letter of Authority, if applicable. - Determine acceptability of business. - Maintain integrity of underwriting practices. - Perform essential functions of Underwriter I at a higher degree of proficiency and for more complex programs. - Provide training to Underwriter I and Underwriting Assistants as requested. - Assist organization in formulating underwriting strategies for continued growth and profitability. - Implement methods for promotion of policies or improvements to processes. - Assist in developing, implementing, and monitoring quality control efforts. - Serve as resource for organization on underwriting and technical insurance issues. - Participate in developing underwriting rates and guidelines. - Assist marketing programs to carriers along with existing and prospective insureds. - Oversight of document issuance; indications, quotes etc. issued without errors. - Review competitor quotes, binders, and policy forms to provide comparisons to pool coverage as requested. - Other job-related projects or assignments as delegated. We need to put these under Responsibilities heading as

    • . Then "Competencies" list: Proficient computer skills in Microsoft Office programs. Ability to learn other business software programs. Underwriting at the advanced level of position and difficulty. Excellent oral and written communication skills and the ability to work in teams. Possess a positive attitude, strong interpersonal skills, organizational skills, the ability to analyze situations to make decisions, and be detail-oriented. Professional office dress is mandatory. Must present oneself in a professional manner, including personal hygiene and appearance. Regular attendance is essential and expected for the effective operation of the company. These could go under Skills or Requirements. The headings list includes Skills. We'll put these under Skills as
      • . Then "Qualifications" heading: "To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions." That's generic; but we have specifics: Required: High school diploma. Obtain a Washington State Property & Casualty Insurance Producers License within 12 months (courses and testing provided by Company). Preferred: Math skills such as Business Math or basic accounting functions. Prior insurance experience or college degree. We need to put Required and Preferred under Qualifications maybe as
        • with sub-lists? Could separate Required and Preferred as separate
            or just list items with note. We'll produce
            • for each. Then "Physical Requirements Necessary On a Regular Basis" list: Manual dexterity..., Speech and hearing..., Vision..., Ability to sit at a desk... These could go under Requirements (maybe Physical Requirements). We'll put under Requirements heading as
              • . Then "Annual Salary Range: $60,000 - $95,000 DOE Pay Range 60000 - 95000 Annual The pay range provided above is made in good faith..." This is Pay info. So we need a Pay section with

                containing that info. Should we include "DOE"? It's specific. We'll include. Then "Teammate Benefits & Total Well-Being We go beyond standard benefits, focusing on the total well-being of our teammates, including: Health Benefits: Medical/Rx, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, Disability Insurance Financial Benefits: ESPP; 401k; Student Loan Assistance; Tuition Reimbursement Mental Health & Wellness: Free Mental Health & Enhanced Advocacy ServicesBeyond Benefits: Paid Time Off, Holidays, Preferred Partner Discounts and more. Not reflective of all benefits. Enrollment waiting periods or eligibility criteria may apply to certain benefits. Benefit details and offerings may vary for subsidiary entities or in specific geographic locations." That's Benefits section. We'll put under Benefits heading with

                • for each benefit category? Could list each bullet: Health Benefits: ...; Financial Benefits: ...; Mental Health & Wellness: ...; Beyond Benefits: ... We'll treat each as
                • . Then "Recruiting Vendor Disclosure Statement ..." That's boilerplate; we should remove. Then "The Power To Be Yourself As an Equal Opportunity Employer..." That's EEO boilerplate; remove. Thus final HTML fragment includes sections: About the role (maybe), Responsibilities, Skills, Qualifications, Requirements, Pay, Benefits. Ensure we don't create empty sections. Check if any content for Schedule: none, so omit. Now produce HTML. We'll wrap sections in maybe? Not required but okay. Just output headings and content. We'll do:

                  We need to ensure no duplicate content. The Pay section we have two sentences; could combine. Also ensure we didn't include boilerplate like "The pay range provided above is made in good faith..." We omitted that as it's somewhat generic but still specific? It's a statement about the pay range; maybe we should keep it? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The statement about pay range being made in good faith is somewhat generic but still part of pay info. Could include as part of Pay

                  . Let's include a concise sentence: "The pay range is provided in good faith based on the lowest and highest annual salary for the role, considering experience, geography, and budget." That's summarizing but we must not invent or summarize away detail; we should preserve the exact wording? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep the exact wording if possible. The original: "The pay range provided above is made in good faith and based on our lowest and highest annual salary or hourly rate paid for the role and takes into account years of experience required, geography, and/or budget for the role." That's substantive. We'll include that as a sentence. Thus Pay

                  will contain: "Annual Salary Range: $60,000 - $95,000 DOE. The pay range provided above is made in good faith and based on our lowest and highest annual salary or hourly rate paid for the role and takes into account years of experience required, geography, and/or budget for the role." Now Benefits: we have the paragraph; we turned into list. Ensure we didn't lose any detail: The original: "Teammate Benefits & Total Well-Being We go beyond standard benefits, focusing on the total well-being of our teammates, including: Health Benefits: Medical/Rx, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, Disability Insurance Financial Benefits: ESPP; 401k; Student Loan Assistance; Tuition Reimbursement Mental Health & Wellness: Free Mental Health & Enhanced Advocacy ServicesBeyond Benefits: Paid Time Off, Holidays, Preferred Partner Discounts and more
