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. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Content: Summary: This Intermittent Nursing Assistant (NA) may perform duties in a variety of health care settings such as outpatient - inpatient - home or community living care - acute - sub-acute. The NA will care for patients/residents with acute to chronic conditions. This is a night shift position. Qualifications: Applicants pending the completion of educational or certification/licensure requirements may be referred and tentatively selected but may not be hired until all requirements are met. Basic Requirements: United States Citizenship... etc. Then Grade Determinations: GS-3, GS-4, GS-5 details. Physical Requirements: This position requires visual acuity... etc. Duties: "Total Rewards of a Allied Health Professional Duties include but not limited to:" then list of duties. Work Schedule: Intermittent - night shift 7:30pm - 8:00am - possible weekends and holidays Recruitment/Relocation Incentives (Sign-on Bonus): Not Authorized Permanent Change of Station (Relocation Assistance): Not Authorized Pay: Competitive salary and regular salary increases... etc. Telework: Not Available Virtual: This is not a virtual position Functional Statement #: PD93277A - PD93278A - and PD93279A Permanent Change of Station (PCS): Not Authorized We need to produce sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (basic requirements?), Qualifications (grade determinations?), Skills (maybe KSAs), Benefits (maybe none? There's no explicit benefits; but there is "Total Rewards of a Allied Health Professional" phrase but not actual benefits. Probably not include Benefits unless specific. Pay: we have Pay info. Schedule: we have Work Schedule. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So only include sections where we have real content. Thus sections: - About the role: from Summary. - Responsibilities: from Duties list. - Requirements: maybe combine Basic Requirements and Grade Determinations? Could be "Requirements" includes basic requirements and grade determinations. But we also have Qualifications separate. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide what goes where. We have: - Basic Requirements (citizenship, experience/education, English proficiency, grandfathering provision) -> could go under Requirements. - Grade Determinations (GS-3, GS-4, GS-5 specifics) -> could go under Qualifications (since they are qualification levels). Or could be under Requirements as well. But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings available. Likely Requirements = basic eligibility (citizenship, experience/education). Qualifications = grade-specific requirements (KSAs, experience/education for each grade). Skills = maybe the KSAs (abilities). But KSAs are also part of qualifications. However we can separate: Requirements = basic eligibility; Qualifications = grade determinations; Skills = KSAs (abilities). Benefits: none specific; we have "Total Rewards of a Allied Health Professional" phrase but not actual benefits; maybe we skip Benefits. Pay: we have Pay info. Schedule: we have Work Schedule. Thus produce:

We must not include Benefits if no specific content. We must preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. We need to extract details precisely. Let's extract Summary: "This Intermittent Nursing Assistant (NA) may perform duties in a variety of health care settings such as outpatient - inpatient - home or community living care - acute - sub-acute. The NA will care for patients/residents with acute to chronic conditions. This is a night shift position." We'll put that in

. Responsibilities: The duties list after "Duties Total Rewards of a Allied Health Professional Duties include but not limited to:" then list: - Utilize glucose monitoring machine to collect and document appropriate glucose readings for veterans - Makes observations of subtle changes in resident's condition - i.e. behavior shifts - mood - skin coloring - appetite - etc and takes action accordingly within the NA's assigned role - Documents care given - observations and responses on appropriate tools or forms - Responds appropriately to subtle patient changes by contacting the appropriate nursing personal - Administers complete tracheostomy care - including suctioning - Recognizes the residents' autonomy and promotes independence by means of respect - limit setting and individualized treatment - Utilizes equipment to promote the veteran self-care - such as lift equipment - Hydro sound Tubs - and Veteran/Resident Wandering System - Verbally provides patient information to the treatment team for inclusion in the veteran/residents' plan of care - participates in treatment team meetings for resident care planning - Enters information about the residents' condition in the chart - utilizing appropriate formats - Removes defective equipment - reports hazards - observes safety regulations - contributes to infection control - and utilizes proper aseptic technique in performance of duties - Functions as a member of the unit base counsel We need to keep each as

Could format as

    with sentences, or

      . Since it's a list of requirements, better to use
      • . But the instruction says use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should use list for requirements. Thus

          Requirements

          • United States Citizenship
          • Non-citizens may only be appointed when it is not possible to recruit qualified citizens in accordance with VA Policy

          But note the "OR" lines are alternatives; we could keep them as separate items. Qualifications: Grade Determinations. We need to include GS-3, GS-4, GS-5 details.

Could format as

          paragraphs or

            . Since it's a list of qualifications per grade, maybe use
              with each grade as a
            • containing subdetails. But the instruction says use
              • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Qualifications could be considered a list; we can use
                  . However the content includes paragraphs; we could still put each grade as
                • with inner

                  or

                    . Simpler: use

                    for each grade block. But to be safe, we can use

                    for each grade block. Thus:
