The user wants me to convert this job posting into clean semantic HTML following specific rules. Let me analyze the content and structure it properly. First, I need to identify the sections: 1. About the role / Job Description (introductory paragraph) 2. Responsibilities - Direct Patient Care Activities (long list) 3. Responsibilities - Indirect Patient Care (long list) 4. Qualifications - Required 5. Qualifications - Preferred 6. Additional Information (background check, AI disclosure) 7. Benefits (with URL) Rules: - Use

for section headings - Use
  • for lists - Use

    for prose - Don't repeat job title as heading - Don't put Job ID/requisition as headings - Preserve ALL substantive information - Remove boilerplate (EEO, scam warnings, application instructions) - Only include sections with real content - No filler/placeholder text - Output ONLY HTML fragment Let me structure this: 1. First paragraph about Northwestern Medicine mission - this is "About the role" or introductory prose. 2. Job Description paragraph - could be part of About the role or separate. 3. Responsibilities: Direct Patient Care Activities - long list, use ul/li 4. Responsibilities: Indirect Patient Care - long list, use ul/li 5. Qualifications: Required - list 6. Qualifications: Preferred - list (just one item: Associates or Bachelor's degree) 7. Additional Information: Background Check, AI Disclosure - prose 8. Benefits - prose with URL I should combine the two "Responsibilities" subsections under one Responsibilities heading with sub-lists? The rules say use h3 for section headings. The posting has "Responsibilities:" then "Direct Patient Care Activities" and "Indirect Patient Care" as subheadings. I could make them h3 headings each, or keep Responsibilities as h3 and use sub-lists. The rule: "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It doesn't mention subheadings. But the content has clear sub-sections. I think using h3 for each major section is fine. I'll make "Direct Patient Care Activities" and "Indirect Patient Care" as separate h3 headings? But they are under Responsibilities. The example includes "Responsibilities" as a heading. I'll do:

    Responsibilities

    Direct Patient Care Activities

    - but rule says only h3 for section headings. It says "use

    for section headings". It doesn't forbid h4, but says use h3 for section headings. I'll use h3 for each top-level section. The posting has "Responsibilities:" then two subsections. I could make "Direct Patient Care Activities" and "Indirect Patient Care" as separate h3 sections. That might be better. Similarly, Qualifications has Required and Preferred. I'll make "Qualifications" as h3 and then list required and preferred as separate lists with labels. Let me outline: -

    About the role

    with introductory paragraphs (first two paragraphs) -

    Responsibilities

    with two subsections: Direct Patient Care Activities and Indirect Patient Care. I'll use

    for subsections? The rule doesn't forbid h4, but says use h3 for section headings. I'll use h3 for each major section. Since Direct and Indirect are distinct, I'll make them separate h3 sections: "Direct Patient Care Activities" and "Indirect Patient Care". But they are under Responsibilities. The user example includes "Responsibilities" as a heading. I'll keep "Responsibilities" as h3 and then use
      for each list with a leading

      or ? Better to use

      for subsections. The rule doesn't explicitly forbid h4. It says "use

      for section headings". I'll use h3 for main sections and h4 for subsections. That's semantic. But the instruction: "use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It lists examples. It doesn't say "only h3". I'll use h3 for main sections, and for subsections I'll use h4. Alternatively, I could make each subsection a separate h3. That would be: "Direct Patient Care Activities", "Indirect Patient Care", "Required Qualifications", "Preferred Qualifications". That might be simpler and follow the rule of using h3 for section headings. The rule says "use

      for section headings". It doesn't say "only one h3 per page". So I can have multiple h3 headings. I'll do that. Let's structure:
