We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. No filler like "commensurate with experience". We must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. No Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We need to decide what sections to include.
From posting:
- Position Overview (maybe "About the role"): includes description of position: assembling, supplying and maintaining packages for ADN Synthesis and EHD Reactors, adheres to Standard Work Instructions, inspects materials, completes inspection checklist to produce quality packages that meet or exceed build criteria. Also targeted outcomes: on time and ready to work... etc. Could be part of About the role.
- Key Responsibilities: list bullet points.
- TEAM: Reports to: Area Supervisor; Team Members: Package Assembly team and area contractors. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? Not required heading but could be included under About the role.
- Required Experience: Minimum Associate degree OR High School Diploma/GED plus achievement of a 4 or higher in Locating Information and a 3 or higher in Applied Technology Work Keys.
- Required Skills: list bullet points.
- Physical Requirements And Working Conditions: description.
- About Us: company description.
- Why work at Ascend? values OARS etc.
- EEO statement: remove.
- Also note: "This job will very likely be night shift" -> schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that detail.
- Pay: not mentioned. So we should NOT include Pay section.
- Benefits: not mentioned. So no Benefits section.
Thus sections: About the role (or Position Overview), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Experience and Skills? but we have separate headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The posting has Required Experience and Required Skills. Could map Required Experience to Requirements (or Qualifications). Required Skills to Skills. We'll include Requirements (for experience) and Skills (for skills). No Qualifications separate unless we want to combine but better to follow posting.
We also have Physical Requirements And Working Conditions: could be part of Requirements or a separate section? Not in list of allowed headings but we could put under Requirements? The allowed headings list includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Physical requirements could be part of Requirements or maybe we could create a separate section not in list? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should likely stick to those headings. However we could also add other headings if needed? It says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but to be safe we can map physical requirements under Requirements or maybe under a separate "Working Conditions" but not in list. Safer to include under Requirements as part of that section.
Also "About Us" and "Why work at Ascend?" could be under About the role? Actually About the role is about the job; About Us is company info. Could be separate section but not in list. Could omit? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could combine About Us and Why work at Ascend into a single "About the company" but not in list. Maybe we can omit them as they are not required? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; cannot omit company description. So we need to include it somewhere. Could use a heading like "About the company" but not in list; but the instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't say we cannot use other headings, just gives examples. So we can add "About the company" as h3. That seems okay.
Similarly "TEAM" could be part of About the role.
Thus final sections:
- About the role (position overview + targeted outcomes + team)
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (includes required experience + physical requirements & working conditions)
- Skills
- Schedule (night shift likely)
- About the company (About Us + Why work at Ascend? values)
We must not include Pay/Benefits.
Now we need to format lists with
