for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The posting has Overview, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Compensation (Pay), maybe Benefits. Also there is "Job Duties" which is similar to Responsibilities but we should not duplicate. We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (EEO, legal, etc). Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, etc. Also remove application instructions like "If you feel that the above description speaks directly to your strengths and capabilities, then please apply today!" That's application instruction, remove. Also remove "Compensation Minimum rate of $20.68 Hourly" etc but we need to keep Pay section if present. The posting includes compensation details: Minimum rate of $20.68 Hourly, plus explanation about pay transparency. That is substantive pay info, so we should include a Pay section with that info. Benefits: The posting mentions "In addition to our compensation for full-time and part-time (20+ hours/week) job positions, HMH offers a comprehensive benefits package, including health, dental, vision, paid leave, tuition reimbursement, and retirement benefits." That's benefits info, so include Benefits section.
Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. No schedule info, so omit Schedule.
Skills: Could be derived from Qualifications but we have Qualifications section already. The instruction says use headings for Skills if present. We could combine Skills within Qualifications or separate if there is explicit Skills list. The posting includes "Education, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Required:" and "Education, Knowledge, Skills And Abilities Preferred". That's qualifications. So we can have a Qualifications section containing both required and preferred. No separate Skills section needed.
Responsibilities: We have responsibilities list. Should be - .
Overview: The first paragraph(s) before Responsibilities: "Overview Our team members are the heart..." That's overview content. Should we put it under a heading? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Overview is not listed but we could still use for Overview? The examples are not exhaustive; they said use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use for Overview as well. However they said "do NOT repeat the job title as a heading". Overview is fine.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We must preserve all substantive information. Let's extract:
Overview paragraph: "Our team members are the heart of what makes us better. At Hackensack Meridian Health we help our patients live better, healthier lives - and we help one another to succeed.
