Nursing Assistant

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 parse the posting. We have summary: description of role. Could be "About the role". Then duties list: many duties. We'll put under Responsibilities (or Duties). The posting includes "Qualifications" section with basic requirements, grade determinations, etc. Also "Preferred Experience". Also "Work Schedule". Also "Pay" and benefits: Paid Time Off, Parental Leave, Child Care Subsidy, Retirement, Insurance, Telework (Not Available), Virtual (not a virtual position). Also "Recruitment/Relocation Incentives (Sign-on Bonus): Not Authorized" etc. We should only include sections with real specific content. Avoid filler like "Not Authorized" maybe still content but it's a statement; but we might include if it's specific. However guidelines: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). "Not Authorized" is specific? It's a statement that incentive not authorized. Might be considered not filler? Probably okay to include but we could drop if it's just stating not authorized. Safer to include only substantive benefits: Paid Time Off, Parental Leave, Child Care Subsidy, Retirement, Insurance. Telework: Not Available maybe not needed. Also Work Schedule: given. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. No Job ID. We'll produce sections:

We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to list duties as bullet points, preserving details. We have many duties sentences; we can split into bullet points. Also "Qualifications" section: include basic requirements, grade determinations, etc. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says use headings like Qualifications, Skills, etc. We'll have a Qualifications heading. We need to include Requirements maybe separate? The posting has "Qualifications" with subparts: Basic Requirements, Grade Determinations, Preferred Experience. We'll put all under Qualifications. We also have Skills maybe not separate; but we could include KSAs as skills under Skills heading. However we already have KSAs in Qualifications. Might duplicate. Better to keep Qualifications covering KSAs and requirements. Skills maybe not needed. We have Benefits: list Paid Time Off, Parental Leave, Child Care Subsidy, Retirement, Insurance. Also maybe mention "Competitive salary and regular salary increases" under Pay. Pay: we have "Pay: Competitive salary and regular salary increasesWhen setting pay - a higher step rate of the appropriate grade may be determined after consideration of higher or unique qualifications or special needs of the VA (Above Minimum Rate of the Grade)". We'll put under Pay. Schedule: "Work Schedule: 3/2 split 7:30pm-8:00am - and 11:30pm-8:00am - rotating weekends/holidays subject to change based on the needs of the facility". We'll put under Schedule. Now we need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Not present. Now produce HTML. We need to ensure we don't include empty sections. Let's craft. About the role: use summary paragraph: "The Nursing Assistant (NA) - Nursing - Acute Care (4C Med-Surg/Telemetry Oncology) will provide safe - routine care to Veterans at the G.V.
