The text ends abruptly: "to train individuals who are vi". Probably missing rest but we have what we have.
We need to preserve all substantive information; we cannot invent missing parts. We'll include the given text as is.
We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting includes "To be considered, applicants must apply through our official website: [link]" and "Why Work for Illinois?" paragraph. The "Why Work for Illinois?" is not boilerplate but promotional; we might keep as Benefits section? But it's more about why work for Illinois, not specific benefits. Could treat as About the agency? But we already have About the role. Could create a section "Why Work for Illinois?" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings list includes Benefits, Pay, Schedule, etc. We could put that content under Benefits heading, as it's about benefits and culture. It's not specific benefits but still mentions benefits. Might be acceptable.
Alternatively we could omit Benefits section because it's not specific. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state benefits in a generic way: "Our top-tier benefits and great retirement packages". That's a statement about benefits. So we can include Benefits section with that paragraph.
We also have "Why Work for Illinois?" which includes more about values, etc. Could be part of Benefits.
We'll create sections:
About the role
with Position Overview paragraph.
Responsibilities
with Essential Functions as - items.
Requirements
with Minimum Qualifications as - .
Qualifications
maybe for Preferred Qualifications as - .
Skills
maybe for Skill Option? But we could incorporate Skill Option into About the role or Responsibilities. The Skill Option is "Orientation and Mobility Instructor". That's basically the role. Could be omitted.
Better to follow typical structure: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (minimum), Preferred Qualifications (maybe under Qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to avoid thin sections. We'll combine Preferred Qualifications into Requirements? But they are separate. Could have Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). That's two sections.
We'll also include Pay and Schedule.
We must not include headings with empty content.
Let's craft HTML.
We'll need to escape any special characters like apostrophes fine.
We'll produce:
