Patient Care Technician - Resource Pool
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. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to parse the posting.

So we should remove the EEO paragraph and remote work states list. Also remove duplicated Benefits lines? There are two Benefits sections: first bullet list, then "Benefits: Caring For Your Family and Your Career" with more details. We need to preserve all substantive information, but avoid duplication. We can combine them into one Benefits section with all unique items.

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can choose appropriate headings based on content. We have overview description, duties/responsibilities, requirements (education, certification, minimum requirements, experience), benefits. Possibly also "Qualifications" could cover education/certification/minimum requirements/experience. Could also have "Responsibilities" for duties. "About the role" could be overview/hours/shift/location.
We need to avoid creating sections with filler. So we need to ensure each section has substantive content.
