We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections present: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real specific content. Let's parse the posting. Job Title: Optometric Technician (not to be repeated as heading). Company: Clarkson Eyecare. Location: St. Charles, MO. Content: - No medical/eyecare experience required, willing to train. - Perks: Full Benefits Package - Medical, Vision, Dental and Life Insurance; 401k + Employer Matching; Paid Time Off (PTO) and Paid Holidays; Paid Maternity Leave; Competitive Base Pay; Employee Discounts. - Hours: Full Time. Offices open Monday-Friday 8am-7pm, Saturday 8am-1pm. May need to work earlier/later as needed. You will not work all of these hours, but you must have open availability to work any shift within these hours. - Requirements: High School Diploma or GED Equivalent; Basic computer skills; Strong customer service skills; Excitement to learn and grow; Favorable result on Background Check. - Essential Functions (list): Facilitate patient flow; Assist the doctor in preliminary testing; Verify medical and vision insurances; Effectively communicate with patients, doctors, and managers; Answer inquiries through phone, email, and in-person requests. - Summary: description. - Essential Duties and Responsibilities (list many bullet points). We'll treat as Responsibilities. - Qualifications: Previous medical office experience preferred; previous ophthalmic experience strongly preferred. Minimum of 1 year in a position interacting with customers/patients or equivalent combination of education and experience; Favorable result on background check; Must be able to provide proof of identity and right to work in the United States. - Education and/or Experience: High school diploma or GED required. - Licenses and Credentials: None (skip as no content). - Systems and Technology: Proficient in Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook. - Location: Work is primarily performed in a standard office or clinical setting. However, travel to other locations may be required to carry out essential job duties and responsibilities. - Physical Requirements: description. - Application instructions etc to be removed. We need to decide sections. Possible sections: - About the role: could include summary description (the SUMMARY paragraph). Also maybe location? But location is separate. - Responsibilities: Essential Duties and Responsibilities list. - Requirements: maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications? The posting has separate "Requirements:" and "QUALIFICATIONS". We could treat "Requirements" as the bullet list under Requirements (HS diploma, computer skills, etc). "Qualifications" as the bullet list under Qualifications (experience, background check, right to work). Or we could merge but better to follow instruction: Use headings for sections present. We have both Requirements and Qualifications content, so we can include both. - Skills: maybe Systems and Technology (proficiency in MS Office) could be Skills. Also basic computer skills etc. But we already have basic computer skills in Requirements. Could create Skills heading for MS Office proficiency. - Benefits: we have perks list. - Pay: we have "Competitive Base Pay" mentioned but no specific amount. The rule says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "Competitive Base Pay" which is a statement about pay, albeit not specific. Is that enough? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It states Competitive Base Pay, so we can include Pay section with that statement. However also we must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". "Competitive Base Pay" is vague but not exactly those filler phrases. It's a statement. I'd include Pay with that phrase. - Schedule: we have Hours description. So we can include Schedule section with that description. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, application instructions, contact info, etc. We must preserve all substantive information. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Thus produce something like:

About the role

An Optometric Technician is a valuable asset to an optometrist as they assist in providing a world class Total Patient Experience. This team member is able to handle a wide range of duties while using optical equipment to perform the initial testing needed to prepare a patient for an exam with an Optometrist.

Responsibilities

  • Embrace and execute our Total Patient Experience to build relationships with all patients while delivering great medical support
  • Comply with all company policies and procedures including HIPAA
  • Practice urgency at all times placing value on a patient's time, as well as the doctor's time and schedule
  • Operate manual lensometer, auto-lensometer, autorefractor/keratometer, retinal camera, visual field, GDX or OCT
  • Follow scripting for testing equipment (photos, visual fields, visual activity, etc.)
  • Clean all examination equipment including tonometer tip
  • Ability to interact with all levels of employees in a courteous, professional manner at all time
  • General office duties and cleaning to be assigned by manager
  • Consistently creating a positive work environment by being team-oriented and patient-focused
  • Commitment to work hours that meet the needs of the business which may include weekends, schedule changes or an extended schedule
But also we have Essential Functions list earlier (facilitate patient flow etc). Should we include those as part of Responsibilities? Probably yes, they are duties. Could combine both lists. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include those essential functions as well. We could either merge them into Responsibilities list, or create a separate section like "Essential Functions". But we only have allowed headings list; we could put them under Responsibilities as they are responsibilities. So we should add those items. Thus Responsibilities list will include both Essential Functions and Essential Duties and Responsibilities. Let's list Essential Functions: - Facilitate patient flow - Assist the doctor in preliminary testing - Verify medical and vision insurances - Effectively communicate with patients, doctors, and managers - Answer inquiries through phone, email, and in-person requests Now combine with the longer list. We need to avoid duplication; but there may be overlap. We'll just include all. Now Requirements section: list: - High School Diploma or GED Equivalent - Basic computer skills - Strong customer service skills - Excitement to learn and grow - Favorable result on Background Check Qualifications section: - Previous medical office experience preferred; previous ophthalmic experience strongly preferred. - Minimum of 1 year in a position interacting with customers/patients or the equivalent combination of education and experience - Favorable result on background check as required by state - Must be able to provide proof of identity and right to work in the United States Note: Favorable result on background check appears also in Requirements; but we keep both as they appear. Skills section: Systems and Technology: Proficient in Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook. Maybe also basic computer skills but that's already in Requirements. Benefits section: list: - Full Benefits Package - Medical, Vision, Dental and Life Insurance - 401k + Employer Matching - Paid Time Off (PTO) and Paid Holidays - Paid Maternity Leave - Competitive Base Pay - Employee Discounts Pay section: we have Competitive Base Pay already in Benefits; but we could still have Pay section with that phrase. However to avoid duplication, maybe we just keep Benefits and not Pay. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state Competitive Base Pay, but we already have that in Benefits. Could we omit Pay section? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Having both Benefits and Pay may be thin. Since Pay is just a phrase already in Benefits, we could omit Pay section and keep Benefits only. However the rule says we must not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does state Competitive Base Pay, but we could still include it; but we risk duplication. I'd choose to omit Pay section to keep fewer sections, and rely on Benefits to convey that info. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So better to omit Pay. Schedule section: we have Hours description. Thus Schedule:

Full Time. Our offices are open Monday-Friday 8am-7pm, Saturday 8am-1pm. You may need to work a little earlier and/or later as needed. You will not work all of these hours, but you must have open availability to work any shift within these hours.

Now About the role: we have the SUMMARY paragraph. Also maybe we could include location? But location is separate; we could include location in About the role or separate? Not in allowed headings. Could add location as a paragraph under About the role? But location is not about role. However we could include location in About the role as a brief note. But we might just keep About the role as summary. We also have "No medical / eyecare experience is required, as we are willing to train!" That's a substantive piece; could be included in About the role or Requirements? It's about experience requirement. Could be placed in Requirements or About the role. Since it's about experience, maybe put in Requirements? But Requirements already list HS diploma etc. Could add a bullet: "No prior medical/eyecare experience required; willing to train." That seems appropriate under Requirements. Let's incorporate that. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate: EEO, application instructions, contact info, etc. Now produce HTML. We'll need to wrap each section in

and then content. Let's craft. About the role:
