We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat 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.
We need to parse the posting.
The posting includes:
- Intro about Kestra (company description) repeated twice. Should be included as "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is typical heading for description of role. But we have company description. Could be "About the role" or "About the company". The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use those headings if content matches.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
Content:
- Company description: "The Kestra team has over 400 years of experience..." repeated. This is about the company. Could be placed under "About the role" or maybe "About the company". Since only allowed headings list includes About the role, we can use that.
- Role description: "The ASSURE Patient Specialist (APS) conducts patient fitting activities in support of the sales organization and the team of Regional Clinical Advisors (RCA). The APS will serve as the local patient care representative to provide effective and efficient patient fittings. We have an opening in Rome, GA. This is a paid per fitting position."
- Essential Duties: list of duties.
- Competencies: list of competencies (like Passion, Integrity, etc.)
- REQUIREMENTS: list of requirements (Education/Experience Required, etc.) plus Preferred.
- WORK ENVIRONMENT: description.
- PHYSICAL DEMANDS: list.
- TRAVEL: description.
- OTHER DUTIES: statement.
- EEO statement: should be removed (boilerplate). Also "Kestra Medical Technologies, Inc does not discriminate..." is EEO, remove.
We need to remove duplicated lines (the intro repeated twice). Keep only one copy.
We need to remove application instructions (none present). Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
We need to decide sections.
Potential sections:
- About the role (company overview + role summary)
- Responsibilities (essential duties)
- Requirements (including education/experience, etc.)
- Qualifications (maybe competencies? but we have Competencies section; could be Qualifications or Skills). The instruction list includes Qualifications and Skills separate. We could put Competencies under Skills or Qualifications. Since they are competencies like Passion, Integrity, etc., they could be Skills. Or we could treat them as Qualifications. Let's decide: Use Skills for competencies (soft skills). Use Qualifications for education/experience requirements? But we already have Requirements heading for education/experience. The instruction list includes Requirements and Qualifications separate. Usually Requirements are mandatory, Qualifications are preferred. But we have both mandatory and preferred. Could combine.
Better: Use Requirements for mandatory requirements (Education/Experience Required, etc.) and Qualifications for preferred (Knowledge of MS Office, Direct cardiac patient care experience). Use Skills for competencies list.
We also have WORK ENVIRONMENT, PHYSICAL DEMANDS, TRAVEL, OTHER DUTIES. Those could be under Responsibilities? Or maybe separate sections like Work Environment, Physical Demands, Travel. But instruction only lists certain headings; we can add others? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exhaustive. But we should prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we might combine some into broader sections.
We could have:
- About the role (company description + role summary)
- Responsibilities (essential duties + work environment + physical demands + travel + other duties)
- Requirements (mandatory)
- Qualifications (preferred)
- Skills (competencies)
We should not create Benefits, Pay, Schedule unless present. The posting mentions "This is a paid per fitting position." and "Flexibility of work schedule and competitive pay provided". That indicates pay and schedule info but not specific numbers. It says "Flexibility of work schedule and competitive pay provided". That is somewhat vague but still mentions pay and schedule. However instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "competitive pay provided" and "Flexibility of work schedule". That is stating pay and schedule exist but not specifics. Is that enough? It says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state them in a generic sense. But also instruction says "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "competitive pay provided" is not filler? It's vague but still states pay is provided. Could be considered substantive? Might be okay to include Pay and Schedule sections with that info. However we should prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Pay and Schedule into a single section? But headings list includes Pay and Schedule separate. Could we omit them because they are vague? The instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state them, albeit vaguely. But also we should avoid filler. "competitive pay provided" is not exactly filler like "commensurate with experience". It's a statement that pay is competitive. Could be considered substantive. However we might decide to omit them to keep sections thin? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. If we add Pay and Schedule, we increase sections. Might be better to incorporate that info into Responsibilities or About the role.
Given the instruction to prefer few substantive sections, I'd omit Pay and Schedule sections, and instead include that info in a paragraph under Responsibilities or About the role.
Similarly Benefits not mentioned.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills.
Now we need to format.
We need to use for each section heading.
Inside sections, use
for prose,
- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
Let's extract content.
