We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections present: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (Essential Functions), Requirements (Required Education, Experience, & License/Certifications; Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities), maybe Benefits? Benefits Eligible: No, PERSI Eligible: No, but we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It says Benefits Eligible: No, PERSI Eligible: No. That's a statement about benefits eligibility, but not describing benefits. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state Benefits Eligible: No, PERSI Eligible: No. That is stating something about benefits (eligibility). Should we include a Benefits section? It says "Benefits Eligible: No" is a statement about benefits. The rule: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Here we have "Benefits Eligible: No" and "PERSI Eligible: No". That's specific content (though it's a negative). I'd say we can include a Benefits section with that info. However, we need to decide if it's considered substantive. It's a statement about eligibility, not describing benefits like health insurance etc. Might be considered minimal but still specific. The instruction says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state them, so we can include. But we should avoid filler like "not specified". Here it's specified as No. So include.
Schedule: "Schedule: Monday - Saturday with varied hours". That's specific, so include Schedule section.
Pay: "Salary Range: $15.25/hour" and later "HOURLY RANGE: $15.25-$15.25". So pay is specified, include Pay section.
Thus we will have sections: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (Essential Functions), Requirements (split into Education/Experience/License and Knowledge/Skills/Abilities maybe combine), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We need to use

Thus we will have sections: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (Essential Functions), Requirements (split into Education/Experience/License and Knowledge/Skills/Abilities maybe combine), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc.
We need to extract content.
Let's parse:
Position Summary: paragraph after "Position Summary". That's the prose about function.
Essential Functions: list of bullet-like sentences separated by semicolons? Actually each essential function is a sentence starting with a verb. We'll turn each into
- .
Additional Functions: also list? Might be considered part of responsibilities? Could include under Responsibilities as well. But we can treat Additional Functions as part of responsibilities too. However instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can combine Essential Functions and Additional Functions into one list under Responsibilities. Or we could have two subheadings? Not needed.
Requirements: Required Education, Experience, & License/Certifications: list items.
Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities: list items.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep each item as is.
We'll need to convert each sentence into list items.
