Nursing Assistant- Specialty Care

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes summary paragraph about role. Use

for section headings. We need to include sections only when there is real specific content. We have content for: Summary (maybe "About the role") - we can put that under

About the role

with

. Then Qualifications: we have qualifications details. Use

Qualifications

with

• for list items. However the qualifications text includes paragraphs; we can break into list items for each bullet? The instruction: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to convert the qualifications content into list items. Also Duties: we have duties list; we can put under

    Responsibilities

    (or Duties). The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can map: Summary -> About the role. Qualifications -> Qualifications. Duties -> Responsibilities. Pay, Schedule, Benefits sections: we have Pay info, Work Schedule info, Benefits info (Paid Time Off, Parental Leave, Child Care Subsidy, Retirement, Insurance, Telework, etc). So we need sections for Pay, Schedule, Benefits if they have real specific content. They do. So include those headings. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. The posting includes some boilerplate like "Physical requirements: This position requires some degree of fitness..." which we need to keep as it's substantive? It's about physical requirements; could be part of Qualifications or maybe a separate section? Not in list of headings; we could incorporate into Qualifications or Responsibilities? Probably keep as part of Qualifications (maybe under a

    ). But we need to follow instruction: Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can keep paragraphs as
