We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting.

Pay: "New Starting Pay" maybe also "Daily Pay". Actually "New Starting Pay" and "Daily Pay" both refer to pay. We could combine pay info under Pay section: "New Starting Pay, Daily Pay".
