We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting.
The posting includes:
- Intro paragraph: "If you are an internal applicant, please log into Workday..." etc. We need to remove application instructions and boilerplate. So we should drop internal applicant instructions, "Join the Discovery family..." maybe that's part of description? It's somewhat promotional but could be kept as part of About the role? The instruction says: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Join the Discovery family..." is not boilerplate; it's part of the job description. We can keep it as prose.
- Location: "This role will be located at one of Discovery Land Company’s locations: Homewood Mountain & Lake Club, set on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe in Homewood, California." That's location info; could be part of About the role or maybe a short paragraph.
- Role description: "Homewood is seeking an Outdoor Pursuits Guide to join the Outdoor Pursuits Department. The Outdoor Pursuits Guide leads members and guests through Homewood's on-mountain and backcountry programming, creating extraordinary experiences while keeping safety and fun in equal measure. Guides deliver both instructional and adventure-based programming across skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, hiking, and cat and UTV tours, with backcountry-qualified Guides also leading off-piste and backcountry trips through avalanche terrain. This role requires a proactive, safety-minded individual who takes pride in instruction, guest connection, and sound judgment in the field. Guides assess conditions and risk in real time, adapting activities to keep every member and guest safe, engaged, and having a great day. Reporting to the Outdoor Pursuits Director/Supervisor and working closely with the Outdoor Pursuits Coordinator, the Outdoor Pursuits Guide helps bring Homewood's four-season adventure programming to life, one trip, one lesson, and one great story at a time."
That's prose for About the role.
- Then "Key Responsibilities" heading with bullet list under Guiding & Instruction, Safety & Risk Management, Trip Preparation & Equipment, General Operations & Team Support. Those are responsibilities. So we need a Responsibilities section with
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting.

That's prose for About the role.
- Then "Key Responsibilities" heading with bullet list under Guiding & Instruction, Safety & Risk Management, Trip Preparation & Equipment, General Operations & Team Support. Those are responsibilities. So we need a Responsibilities section with - items. Should we break into subheadings? The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So we can have a Responsibilities section with
Responsibilities
then a containing each duty as - . We need to preserve all substantive information; we can combine bullet points from the subheadings.
List items:
Guiding & Instruction:
- Lead and guide members and guests through skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, hiking, and cat and UTV tours, ensuring safety and enjoyment in all conditions.
- Deliver both instructional and recreational programming, educating, coaching, and entertaining participants of all skill levels.
- Backcountry-qualified Guides lead off-piste and backcountry trips through avalanche terrain.
- Build rapport with members and guests, sharing local knowledge of the mountain and terrain.
Safety & Risk Management:
- Assess risk and make real-time decisions to maintain safety for members, guests, and staff in all conditions.
- Demonstrate and train others in safe practices for every activity offered.
- Maintain current AED, First Aid, and CPR certifications; backcountry terrain requires current avalanche qualifications.
- Safely transport members and guests to and from activities via company vehicle, ATV/UTV, chairlift, and snowcat as appropriate.
Trip Preparation & Equipment:
- Prep, inspect, and stage gear and equipment ahead of each outing, confirming everything is safe and guest-ready.
- Maintain, clean, and store guiding and recreation equipment to manufacturer and club standards.
- Track equipment condition and inventory, flagging maintenance, repair, or replacement needs to the Outdoor Pursuits Coordinator.
General Operations & Team Support:
- Embody and promote Homewood's culture of exceptional guest service, teamwork, and fun.
- Attend daily department meetings and training as needed.
- Support daily activations and programming across Outdoor Pursuits, assisting other Club Operations departments during peak periods as needed.
- Communicate observations, needs, and service updates to the Outdoor Pursuits Coordinator.
- Other duties as assigned.
Now "Skills & Qualifications" heading with content: It includes Tier 1, Resort Guide requirements; Tier 2, Backcountry Guide requirements; then bullet list of skills/qualifications: Strong skiing or snowboarding ability in variable terrain; Current AED, First Aid, and CPR certifications, or ability to obtain prior to start; Excellent interpersonal and communication skills; commitment to a professional, guest-focused appearance and attitude; Must be at least 18 years old, legally able to work in the U.S., and meet criminal background standards; Valid driver's license in good standing.
Then "Additional Requirements" with more bullet-like sentences: Positive attitude, professional demeanor, and exceptional communication and interpersonal skills to deliver service to members, guests, and team members; Must be able to work flexible work hours/schedule including evenings, weekends, and holidays. Long hours may be required due to business demands; Ability to hike 2-5 miles in variable alpine and backcountry terrain, and to ski or ride in challenging conditions; Comfortable working both independently and as part of a high-functioning team in dynamic outdoor settings; Ability to read, write, speak, and understand English; additional languages preferred; Ability to meet the physical demands of the position including, but not limited to, working outdoors in all weather and elevation conditions, standing, hiking, and moving for periods of greater than eight (8) hours, and lifting and carrying items sometimes greater than fifty (50) pounds.
We need to decide which sections to output: About the role (prose), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (maybe combine Skills & Qualifications and Additional Requirements?), Qualifications (maybe separate?), Skills (maybe separate?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
The posting includes Benefits: "Winter-Seasonal, Full-time, Non-Exempt Employer-sponsored 401k Employee Meals (Winter Only), and Recognition Programs Professional development and upward mobility opportunities Work-Family Culture". That's benefits.
Pay: "This is a tiered position: Tier 1 (Resort Guide) earns $35-$42 per hour; Tier 2 (Backcountry Guide) earns $42-$46 per hour. The Company's good faith estimate of the hourly rate it expects to pay is based on applicable and specialized experience and location."
Schedule: Not explicitly given, but there is mention of flexible work hours/schedule including evenings, weekends, and holidays; long hours may be required. That's schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section with that info.
We should not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We need to avoid repeating the job title as heading. The job title is Outdoor Pursuits Guide; we should not put that as heading.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We'll structure:
About the role
... (combined intro paragraphs)
Responsibilities
- ...
...
Requirements
Maybe combine Skills & Qualifications and Additional Requirements into Requirements? Or we could have Qualifications and Skills separate. The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide based on content.
We have:
- Skills & Qualifications (tiered requirements)
- Additional Requirements (more soft skills, physical demands, etc.)
We could split into Qualifications (tier-specific certifications, experience) and Skills (interpersonal, communication, etc.) and Requirements (age, work eligibility, driver's license, etc.) but that may be too thin. Better to have a Requirements section that includes all mandatory requirements (age, work eligibility, driver's license, certifications, experience, physical ability). And a Skills section for interpersonal, communication, teamwork, flexibility, etc.
But we have also "Additional Requirements" which includes positive attitude, flexible schedule, hiking ability, etc. Those could be considered Requirements as well.
Let's think: The posting has "Skills & Qualifications" heading with two tiers and then bullet list of skills/qualifications. Then "Additional Requirements" heading with more bullet-like sentences.
We could output:
Qualifications
for tier-specific requirements (experience, certifications)
Skills
for interpersonal, communication, professional appearance, etc.
Requirements
for age, work eligibility, driver's license, etc.
But we risk creating many thin sections. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine into one Requirements section that includes all mandatory items (experience, certifications, age, work eligibility, driver's license, physical demands, schedule flexibility). And maybe a Skills section for interpersonal/communication/teamwork.
But we also have Benefits and Pay and Schedule.
Let's see what we have for Benefits: clear list.
Pay: clear.
Schedule: mention flexible work hours/schedule including evenings, weekends, holidays; long hours may be required.
Thus we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to avoid empty sections.
Now we need to extract content precisely.
About the role: combine the introductory paragraphs after removing application instructions. Let's capture:
"If you are an internal applicant, please log into Workday and submit your application via the Jobs Hub. Please click here to apply internally." -> remove (application instructions). So we start after that.
"Join the Discovery family, where quality and service are at the heart of everything we do!

We'll keep that as prose in
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So we can have a Responsibilities section with
