We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections present: About Us? The instruction says use
for sections present: About Us? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). They gave examples but we can use other headings if appropriate? They say use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to these headings where applicable. The posting includes: About Us (mission, core values). Benefits. Job Summary (role description). Essential Functions (duties). Key Success Factors (skills/qualities). Belonging Statement (maybe part of About Us). Qualifications (education, experience). Also maybe "Responsibilities" could be covered by Essential Functions. "Requirements" maybe covered by Qualifications and Key Success Factors. "Skills" maybe part of Key Success Factors.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can have:
About Us
with paragraph(s) about mission and core values.
Benefits
with ul list of benefits.
Job Summary
maybe but they said use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They didn't list Job Summary but we could use About the role? However they said use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). That suggests we should use those exact headings if applicable. But we can also use other headings? The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies those are examples; we can use those headings where appropriate. The posting has "About Us", "Benefits", "Job Summary", "Essential Functions Of The Role", "Key Success Factors", "Belonging Statement", "Qualifications". We could map:
- About Us -> About the role? Not exactly. But maybe we can use About Us as heading; it's not in examples but likely acceptable. However they said "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Could be interpreted that we should use those headings for those sections if they exist. If we have a section not matching those, we could still use but with appropriate heading text. Safer to use headings that reflect content: About Us, Benefits, Job Summary, Responsibilities (Essential Functions), Requirements (Key Success Factors + Qualifications), Skills (maybe part of Key Success Factors). But to avoid thin sections, we can combine.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract:

Qualifications:
- EDUCATION - H.S. Diploma/GED Equivalent
- EXPERIENCE - 1 Year of Experience
We should not repeat info: Key Success Factors already includes 1 year+ healthcare experience; Qualifications also includes 1 Year of Experience. Might be duplicate but we must preserve all substantive information; we can keep both but maybe combine to avoid duplication? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep both even if overlapping. However we could note that they are separate sections.
We must not include boilerplate like "Note: Benefits may vary based upon position type and/or level." That's substantive? It's a note about benefits variability; we should keep it as part of Benefits section.
We must not include application instructions, EEO, etc. Not present.
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Benefits are stated, so we include Benefits. Pay not stated, so omit. Schedule not explicitly stated except mention of rotating schedule and travel; but not a specific schedule section; we could include Schedule if we have details? The posting mentions "regular rotation between Downtown Fort Worth, Southwest Fort Worth, and Granbury" and "Candidates must be comfortable traveling between locations based on a rotating schedule." That's schedule info but not explicit schedule like shift times. Might be considered schedule info. However instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state rotating schedule, so we could include a Schedule section with that info. But we already have Job Summary covering rotation. Might be redundant. Better to keep Schedule separate only if we have explicit schedule details like shift times; we have only rotating schedule mention. Could include Schedule bullet: regular rotation between locations; must be comfortable traveling. But we already have that in Job Summary. To avoid thin sections, we could incorporate schedule info into Job Summary or Responsibilities. Since they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones, we can omit separate Schedule section and keep schedule info under Job Summary or Responsibilities.
Similarly, Benefits we have.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We'll structure:
