We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes summary, benefits, schedule, responsibilities, qualifications (minimum education and experience, preferred). Also maybe "Qualifications" heading. The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only if posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. We need to include sections: maybe "About the role" (summary), "Responsibilities" (principal essential duties & responsibilities), "Qualifications" (minimum education and experience, preferred), "Skills" (maybe communication skills etc), "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". Also maybe "Requirements" but we can combine with qualifications. We must not repeat job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't add heading for job title. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract content. Summary: "Are you ready to launch your career as a future Operations leader at Perdue?
